Tried out their steaks a while back, but....well, we don’t have livestock on The Homestead so we get our meat from the Gunny down the road, which I butcher up and.....I really got to claim that our home-grown is at least as good.
Plus it’s not at all that spendy.
Sure, The handle release can be replaced....
True, but I’m not interested in the ruling. I’m interested in the argument.
Called where we bought it, $35 plus the part sound right?
Better late than never.
A friend in Athens TX told me about it, 6-8mos before I signed-on, but I forgot the name. He reminded me when he and his wife came east to visit her family, and stopped by for a visit.
In your neck of the woods sounds right.
I would charge $15.00 plus the part.
Have a great 4th............
What did he say? Here is an excerpt:
The Origins of the Tea Party

Excerpt:
RUSH: You know, it’s interesting to try to pinpoint exactly when the Tea Party began. Now, the modern incarnation of the Tea Party as we understand it is a television phenomenon, and that was Obamacare. Obamacare and the stimulus, the debt and the spending, is what motivated people who were already thinking in a different way. Some people might think that the Tea Party’s origins really could be traced back to Clinton.
There was a group back in the 1990s — and they still exist. There was a group in the 1990s that were malcontents, renegades, and off the mainstream plantation of conservatism as articulated by the party. Those were the people that were the early participants in the website Free Republic. They were known as Freepers. They were... I say all this in a positive sense. I don’t want any negative connotation.
But they were one of the first visible groups of people off the reservation. And by that I mean abandoning the Republican Party’s confined definitions of conservatism. They were one of the first modern era groups of people to openly express dissatisfaction with the Republican Party the large. I think Clinton inspired a lot of that. It went somewhat dormant during the Bush years.
But even then these people were very distressed at what they were seeing on the spending side. They were really, really troubled because of what it was going to mean to their kids and their grandkids, all this debt. It was going to impede the creation of wealth as the government grew bigger and became more and more in debt, the government swallowed more and more of the private sector. .....”
Finally, if you can say there was a tipping point, it was Obamacare which caused this group of people — many of whom had never ever been involved in politics outside the ballot box — for the first time in their lives to show up at Town Hall meetings and demand to know what was going on. The Republican Party didn’t know what to do with them.
The Republican Party was afraid of them. The biggest mistake the Republican Party made in 2010 was not embracing them. I look back on that today and I’m more and more puzzled and amazed. Well, I’m not puzzled. I know why. But I’m just still amazed that they didn’t embrace it. I mean, here you have a made-to-order, motivated, energized, activist, willing-to-donate millions of people that you could welcome into the fold.
You could build a movement around them, and the Republican Party was as uninterested as the Democrats were interested in destroying them. I think that just fired up the Tea Party people even more. Then as time has gone on, the Tea Party people have figured out what others in the Republican base have figured out, and that is the Republicans are really not that crazy about ‘em being in the party, because they embarrass them, or something. ....”
BTTT

Giant PING List.
Crazy assed cracker checking in. I missed it when Rush was complimenting Free Republic. God Bless Rush. (We were caring for our niece and nephew while their mom was in the hospital for a couple of days. Whew! I forgot how much energy it takes to care for children.)
OUTSTANDING!!!
Good News!!!!!!!!!!
Mark Steyn is on!
Have a good and blessed rest of the holiday weekend!
Priceless Ali,doesn’t get any better. Perfect for a fourth of July holiday weekend.
This gal whining to Steyn is barmy.
I’ve been listening along, but have been busy doing stuff and not able to check in. However, I had to log on special to comment on the kook caller right now. Sheri is one naive moron.
I like how she says, “we need to provide them housing and food,” but she doesn’t mention that she takes action herself to help her Mexican lawyer friend. She wants to use our money to help her friend...Typical lib troll caller.
