More pictures of my project. I only completed two T-nuts for the Russian laminated stock, but not for the Yugo crossbolt.

The new project, "Fabricating Crossbolt Nuts," has begun.

Loves dropped Regular to $2.399, BP and Marathon are at $2.599.

Loves has Diesel at $3.749/$3.809, BP and Marathon are $3.699

I believe the Loves gas price is the lowest I've seen since 2021.

Its bad, much worse than initial reports relayed.  It took almost the entire occupants of Christian all girl summer camp, and many other multiple horror stories of people being swept away, one man bled to death after cutting an artery trying to get through a window to save his girl friend and kids. 

 Every natural disaster has it sad stories no doubt, tornadoes hurricanes and earthquakes, but this was heartbreaking to read about for me, so many stories of parents searching in vain hope, and not just for those girls.

 Truly prayers go out to all those effected.

Celebrate what we are supposed to be, if our rulers would just read that and follow the system that was created from it, things would look entirely different now.  But today we don't lament that, we honor the idea people govern themselves, and the blood and cost it took to put that to practice. And how serious and pertinent to their lives it was that they saw that?

" The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die. "
