Mercy! Mercy! That Dang Nabed PERCY!

"Putting on the Game Face"

This blog is a doorway into the mind of Percy Goodfellow. Don't be shocked at the lost boys of Namby-Pamby Land and the women they cavort with. Watch as his caricatures blunder about the space between audacious hope and the wake-up calls of tomorrow. Behold their scrawl on the CRT, like graffitti on a subway wall. Examine it through your own lens...Step up my friends, and separate the pepper from the rat poop. Welcome to my abode...the armpit of yesterday, the blinking of an eye and a plank to the edge of Eternity.

Note: This blog is my journal. I've no interest in persuading anyone to adopt my views. What I write is whatever happens to interest me when I start pounding the keys.

In response to "Anunnaki Birth Mothers "

I knew Mesopotamia was responsible for all the bad rap our humankind has been getting. No wonder, it is still messy there.
I have heard about the Anunnaki women, and I have met many who believe the earth was settled by aliens. Then, biologically incubated! It must be the reason some of us look like apes.
Good one!

Joy- Happy 2026!

In response to "Throwing out the Baby with the Bathwater"

My first read. Like your style and definitely will come back for more.
As to this posting, I'm thinking that that was a long and real tasty course of appetisers, but the real meat on the bone is where the final paragraph winds up.
Personally, I think in months and perhaps years to come, a lot of questions will be asked, a lot of answers thought of, and when the dust settles me may know and understand just what really filled up that powder keg set off in Minneapolis.
Contrary to the popular progressive line of reasoning.

We might have spotted a thousand indicators along the way, over the past decade. Smaller stories buried away in the middle of that "long march through the institutions." The rioters are hardly institutional. But I think they are the minions, of the cadres, trained by'thinkers' who came up with what they thought were bright ideas all the way back in the 1960's.

Anyone can be a fan of Hendrix, and think that playing 'air guitar' is as good as the real thing. Apparently it's just that easy to become educated now, or so it seems.

Joy- Happy 2026!

In response to "My Prediction for the Midterm Elections"

I like your prediction and so hope it will come true. Only then, the anarchists may rethink their ways, just maybe.

Joy- Happy 2026!

In response to "The Ultimate Triumph of Good"

I am with you on this. I think the Left is doing everything in their power to make this President's work unsuccessful, and I especially resent the "resist" order from the top and the anarchy and division it has caused.

I am an independent voter and I am not liking what I see one bit.

In response to "Don't Get Me Started"

Funny, I used to be quite a liberal, too. Though not the kind of a liberal who would blindly vote for someone who never really liked women or cared about the minorities even if she insisted she did.

Because of the way the Democrats have changed their party as you pointed out in detail and the way they have acted as such sore losers, I may never vote for Democrats again. Then, whoever did the hacking, they didn't make up the e-mails or the other facts; they brought into open what was already there.

Lousy blogger? I know it is difficult to write when you have a life, and we do. So take your time, it is always worth the wait!

Bike #3

I took the engine out of bike #3 and it was MECHANICALLY SIEZED.

If you're wondering what that means, it means that the engine was not frozen up as a consequence of long years languishing in a shed, or worse outside, where things got gummed up and corrosion set in. It means the engine quit running as a result of a catastrophic failure, when the piston and cylinder fuzed while operating at high RPM... probably the result of an air leak or lack of oil.

Despite all my gentle efforts to unstuck it, the results have been futile. I am constrained by the fact that I don't want to destroy the bottom end which seems to be OK. To know for sure I need to unstick the piston without damaging the main case sitting underneath the cylinder.

Since I don't have the tools or the skills to go any further I'm taking it to my friend, Mike, at the engine shop in Wisconsin Rapids. He has done work for me in the past, rebuilding a flathead engine.

There are three tasks I will ask him to do.

Task 1: Torch out the old piston.

Task 2: With the piston freed, remove the cylinder.

Task 3: Finally there is a bolt still frozen up in the side cover that needs to be removed.

So that is where we are at with bike #3.
