Video

The free Pocatello Car Club show started at 17 hours (5pm), 22JUL2023, it was 100+ Fahrenheit (38+ C)! I started recording video (I need a real video camera) and stills at about 17:30 hours, cars were still rolling in, eventually they would have at least 1-hundred cars show up.

The rollout for the Pocatello Car Club cruise started at 19 hours (7pm), hot vehicles in the hot 100+ Fahrenheit climate:

This was the quiet street to view car show cruisers, even though Grandma claimed “I can’t hear you!”:

July’s action on Main Street wasn’t as loud as it was in June:

It seemed most of the car-cruise action was taking place in the Center Street ‘tunnel’:

Forever Wars: U.S. General says all parts of government are ‘military’!

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) is suspending pay raises and bonuses, as well as extending current deployments of personnel around the world, blaming it on higher than expected cost-of-operations, wants increase in taxpayer funding for paychecks (Military Personnel appropriations)!

The USAF is waging war on climate change, not to save the ‘world’ but to “maintain air and space dominance”!

USAF General CQ Brown Junior testified to Congress that “…all parts of government…” are included in national security/defense!

Cold War to Battle for Ukraine: ROMÂNIA MLI-84M1 Jder, not your father’s BMP!

Video

NATO-Romania’s MLI-84M1 Jder (Marten) is a radically modified Cold War era Soviet BMP (Boyevaya Mashina Pekhoty-Боевая Машина Пехоты, literally Combat Vehicle Infantry).  In 1982, when Romanian was still part of the Warsaw Pact, a license to build and modify the BMP-1 was accepted, the result was the MLI-84 which looked like the original BMP-1.

Essentially, the MLI-84 hull was lengthened and widened to allow the fitment of a larger more powerful Romanian diesel motor and a larger fuel tank. Some of the MLI-84s had a 12.7x108mm DShK heavy machinegun (Soviet .50 cal) mounted above the infantry compartment.  The original BMP-1 turret and 73mm Grom gun was retained.

In 1995, after the fall of the Soviet Union, Romania contracted with an Israeli company to create the MLI-84M1.  The ‘Western-NATO’ style turret was added, armed with an Oerlikon 25mm main-gun, a 12.7x108mm DShK heavy machinegun and two ‘Spike’ Anti-Tank Guided Missiles in the ready position. The Romanian diesel motor was replaced by a U.S. made motor.

Homegrown Potatoes & Onions in Pumpkin Soup.

Video

July 2023

My way of gardening is controversial, just throw it in the Idaho dirt and see if it grows. No fertilizers, insecticides or herbicides. Just water and Sun, it works good enough for me.

I planted a white-onion two Summers ago, now it split into two onions.

This Spring, I threw some potatoes in the ground and already got a small harvest.

Pumpkin puree makes a good soup base (canned or make your own). I used salt, and the per-i-ful spices typical of pumpkin pie which requires hella sugar to equalize ( I like sugar, not for diabetics!). You must experiment with the flavorings you add to the pumpkin base, don’t blame me! I also used the potatoes & onions I recently harvested.

The onions, having grown for the past two Summers, are tough, I had to switch to a serrated knife to cut/saw them and then fry them to soften them.

Unfortunately, the potatoes are bland, even after boiling in salt water. That’s what happens when you just let plants grow ‘wild’, never know what you’re gonna get.

I made garlic toast, which is always good with ‘heavy’ soups, and you can use to sop-up the remnants left behind in the bowl.
