He'd walk in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution, shield from tyranny. For future generations, this like the freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. Tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, you buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values keep according to this. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. Satan's number you've traded in your... You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm and keep our country deep. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torture free, as I awoke he'd vanished and missed from whence he came. His words were true, but free? But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, still the land of the f- and such. The power from the solar grid. 180 million economy and... ...welting the pool and sit around the pool out there watching it and then the, you know, it started to happen and the temperature went down just so, you know, to where it was comfortable. Because now by 11 o'clock this morning it was cooking up. Oh my goodness. Lance, if you keep them watered. No, I gotta go up and water the garden. And well, after the rain this afternoon I won't have to do that now, so. Didn't have to do it this afternoon or this morning. Run the soaker hoses. But everything's doing great. Not only have the woodchucks out of the garden. Oh my goodness, they have a couple of plants out there that they stripped. There's not a tomato on them. I was going out there every day and finding them like 10 or 12 tomatoes that have been shoot. Tomatoes that were grass green that they just went to town on to eat it like an apple. I was like, oh no, I can't do this. They got to cut them and got them out of here. I'll have lots of salsa and tomato paste. That'll be good. I may have to actually go pick a few up, but might not a little later. Those are black-creamed beef. Then I've got the black, which are kind of interesting. They're kind of green on the top, and they look kind of this funky reddish, almost purple on the bottom. Those are nice. Those are producing well, and I guess the The non-hybrids are not supposed to produce that well, but these did really well. I've probably got a bushel of tomatoes out there. I'm always waiting to... just ripening up. I should have those off in the next... well, by the weekend I would think they'll be ready to pick. So, fun fun. Pickles and stewed tomatoes tonight. If you do this, they don't all come in at once. You know, by doing the different... and there were a few I wanted to experiment with, the black crumbian one. This glass is going to look a little funky from that. It's a darker tomato. So yeah, one part is figuring out exactly when it's ripe. That's the thing, because it's still green on top and the stripe's going down into that tomato and it doesn't turn a bright red. Purple burgundy, almost mauvey color, which is interesting, but tastes great. It's very, very sweet tomato, which I like. So we have those and I've got my cherry tomatoes are just about done. The plum tomatoes are going gangbusters. I'll have those probably done before the weekend and then this weekend I'll have those beef steaks coming in. We still have a caller that was asking about the thermal imaging. Thermal imaging? Yes, I also have a buffer. So I just plan to have it on like any gun. Gun, really? It'll live on top. Tree level four something and then the other one was like four. For more money. Both the C5. than you you be confident. Well I think it's up around 28 or 30. Okay, blotting the course of canines but anything that you see there help conceal his color. Look into that shot. A number of illuminators abuse their own separate batteries. Okay. So that if the batteries in your Thor grabs even seven wingside of the ski you look at by doubling up on the you're looking at a king of Lake Wolf. Well it's it's cutting. Not that you can't pan. That's the point. That's what I was originally saving up for. And I'm kind of thinking about going the thermal route and then getting a 50 later. I don't know. Because I already have 11 platforms. The question, what are most of your... You can do it with us. Go ahead and meet myself and let you talk. Put those people in here. Oh, keep your touch on the floor though. Hopefully we have another caller because I heard four or five. It's nice to hear from the planet here. Oh goodness. Don't know. night vision and my goodness I think we're past the bottom of the hour. Goodness, Don, is anything new on the horizon for the night vision? For all the world, this is Hollywood, you guys. For all the world it looks like he took that worm out of the ground and shook a little dirt off of it. And then he went out another worm. He's himself, breast doesn't fill his... Even before we really got into fibalosmote, if you will. Always, just because the way that we were brought up, the oldest that came up through months to a year, food, drought, or whatever the next year. If you're a true new term is, you know, you have five years' food, so you have water and fuel, a fuel force put away as well. So, you know, and ready to go. So that, you know, if the power goes up, something would, you know, is set aside for fueling the house. It does not go to waste. Right. And I see so much of that, and it's just really accurate to watch them. that goes on in the, these swing this way. Discussing the watch. People are no clue what it takes. We've got city dwellers that are moving in next door. House and on the sick acres that their perch time and effort and you know those animals, their dairy goats are their babies. There's no way and it's more than just food for them and milk and they were thinking they were going to get the house and the animals animals, the dogs, and they wouldn't have a clue how to take care of them anyway. This is, you know, it's a loss of education, really, is what it comes down to. Well, Detroit is now getting back into farming now that they've taken all the houses down. Oh, yeah. You're seeing goats and chickens downtown. Oh, my. Truly amazing. Something if you can get into animal husbandry, be it with chickens, something that's small game. animals be it chicken or rabbit. It's not a bad thing. You can do even if you are in the city by having small pens and... Oh, grand rasp.
