Celebrate by buying a lot of fireworks and blowing up a small portion of the nation you love!

Nothing is better than having an official day to celebrate the fight against our original deep state!

Happy Independence Day!

May we become independent again some day!
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Happy Treason Day from Festung Ben, Idaho territory. My flagpole just arrived yesterday and dang it,  I coulda had a Betsy Ross Flag arrive in time as well. Oh well, I'm lucky I just got the stupid pole up. Poured quickcrete yesterday, and mounted it this morning. It's one of those telescopic ones with a dual locking system for each section, and I was having a hell of a time this morning with "righty tighty, lefty loosey" (because with this system, lefty is tighty and righty is loosey).  :laugh:

I wanted to have a cannon here as well, but with all my other expenses, I couldn't swing it this year. By next 4th that brown grass will be all decorative rock and the cannon will be next to the flagpole.

Anyway, hanging around the house today with my "We the People" 1911 strapped OWB, and bought some good old American red, white and blue Budweiser to drink.

nice!

Mason City Fireworks last night, hitting the river rapids today after this storm blows over, had an extended high water season, so still a lot of class 1 and class 2 rapids in the smaller rivers.  Clear Lake for fireworks tonight. It's an amazing show, they shoot a boatload of fireworks from several barges on the water. It is usually one of the best shows in the upper Midwest.

Oh Mr. Dickinson, I'm surprised at you. You should know that rebellion is always legal in the first person, such as "our rebellion." It is only in the third person - "their rebellion" - that it is illegal.

River was good, water was high enough to shoot a blown out dam, nice 3 ft drop in the water level, took on about 80 gallons of water during the drop in my solo canoe. Hit a boulder and about dumped it, survived!

I need to figure out a auto siphon system for my canoe. I have an Old Town Pack Canoe.

Not a Warhawk. I thought it was a P51 Mustang, but the tail is too rounded on top. Maybe a P47 Thunderbolt.

{Edit} Nope -- not a Thunderbolt. Either a P51, or maybe a P-39 Airacobra.

Another vote for P-51 ..... mainly because it is a P-51.   Mustang.    If you wanna get persnickety they were reclassified as F-51 after the U. S. A. F. was created in 1947

P-39 Airacobra.

The P-39 had a shorter, pointier nose, and the cockpit was at the leading edge of the wing, the engine was right behind the pilot. Not very common, most of them were sent to Russia during the war.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Pretty much wrong on all counts.
It's a P51 mustang.  WOT for the mustang is near 400 knots.  The stall speed on an F16 is around 160.  F15 is like 130 and the A10 is like 120.
They are all operating well within their performance window.
