Sunday Stubfart Ramble: A Matter Of Time And Other Silly Things

Well the great watch race is two weeks in. I’ve got a mini-rant about it here with pics - if yer interested. Every morn, and every night I wind Grampa’s 100 year old+ Tavannes pocket watch. Most nights I wear my Swiss self winder to bed. My nocturnal thrashing about keeps it wound. So far, no adjustments or corrections needed. I’m running a minute and a little bit fast. Near as I can tell…Grampa is only slightly less. In the real world, for most of us… a one minute lead on the clock would be trivial. I might run the race another week or two. I love my Casio Mud Master wonder watch that never loses or gains time and has a boggling tool box of functionality. But… these simple mechanicals are scratching an itch I didn’t know I had. The wrist watch is a simple day/date analog. Grampa’s pocket watch has a separate second hand complication. No compass, barometer, time zones, alarms, timers, barometers etc etc etc. Simplicity and mechanical elegance… there’s something to be said for those. Charming artifacts from an age when we lived in better times and we were better people.

So I guess we’re all gonna die from Hanta virus now, eh? I just wanna be right up front about this: the first cunt that gets in my face and starts pestering and badgering me about masking up…dies. I’m going to dig my fish bonker out of my tackle box and I will club the effing shit outta the first retarded Karen that starts clucking and squawking at me. I got better things to do. The hell of it isn’t the bloody virus or a real, valid potential pandemic. It’s the arseholes that will be in charge of responding to it! If we lived in real countries, after Covid? There’s guys that should be dragged out and shot for the way that was handled. Just imagine those clowns trying to handle a REAL pandemic… there was that idiocy when all the chubby nurses were bravely dancing in the empty hospital halls in defiance of the evil racist Covid monster and saying “Not all superheroes wear capes!”. In the same way…there’s an ass tonne of clowns that don’t wear make up, size 40 shoes, or pantaloons either. If this turns into a real pandemic there are legit vaccines and boosters to deal with it… or, at least, there WERE. Gawd only knows what the pharma guys are putting in them now. And if they choose to handle it with vaccination centres like they did with Covid… those centres with their line ups are going to become primary infection vectors. Just sayin’. I dunno what a guy does in the event of a real pandemic? The people in charge are hopelessly retarded and incompetent. And those that aren’t are corrupt.

“Hello. My name is Glen Filthie. I’m a former fighter pilot, with a doctorate in aeronautical engineering and another in particle physics. I wrote three books on advanced propulsion systems and - what’s that? Why do I look like I escaped from a mental institution? Eh? No, I do NOT smell like death and excrement!! ! Chutes probably opened up and shat himself!!! And yes… I did so bathe this morning, you wretched arseholes!! 

Never mind any a that!!! Now that I’ve established my credentials… let’s talk about UFOs and space aliens…!”

I dunno how many “documentaries” I’ve seen that start like that. The researchers have all kinds of lofty credentials and qualifications but look like disheveled rubby-dubbs and crack heads off the street. Apparently Blumpf just declassified all the gubmint files pertaining to UFOs. I love conspiracies as much as anyone but I think the only UFOs on earth right now are the rainbow of weirdos and perverts that infest the big shitlib cities and currently control our govts! 

😂👍

I gotta say - I was just cranked when Blumpf got re-elected and then promptly started signing executive orders that busted up democrat fraud and crime rings and hanging them out to dry. It was so promising! Kicking the illegals out, and shooting liberal protesters just made my day, HAR HAR HAR! Then he welched on ending the war in the Kraine. Then he welched on the JFK assassination records and the Epstein files. Then this Israeli war with Iran. I dunno what to think anymore. They’ve tried to kill him 4 times now? I wonder if there comes a point where nation states just collapse as part of some organic collective life cycle? Power corrupts I suppose. It all makes me think that if real leaders with honesty and integrity rose… they’d get torn to shreds the second they went public. Western civilization no longer tolerates virtuous men or women in authority.

****

Apparently Mother’s Day comes to us courtesy of 1952. You know the drill, men! Flowers, cards, breakfast in bed for those stubfarts that can still be trusted around a hot stove without adult supervision. 

😊👍

The old lady makes her own coffee round here. She likes milk n’ cream and cinnamon and other crap in hers. I get mine direct from the crankcase or the jerry can, black, ugly n’dirty. I can’t even be trusted with a coffee machine. ☹️

I dunno how many more Mother’s Day’s my mom will be around for. I went over earlier in the week to fix her wheel barrow. She shouldn’t even be on a bloody shovel or wheel barrow but her garden means the world to her. I grumped and bitched and got the tire moving and all the nuts n’ bolts tightened… the damn thing was a rusted wreck and needs to go to the dump, really. I took my own barrow over and told her I’d do the spade work but she wouldn’t have any of it. She really needs to be in a home but won’t listen to me because I’m stupid and evil and I’m after her money, apparently. I dunno if she’s serious or just being a rancid old whore as usual. These shitlibbed women are brutal.

😑

If you have a good Mom, treat her right today, close the family around her and thank your Maker for her, for you are truly blessed! Have a blessed Sunday, fellas. Thanks for stopping in.

Stubfart TV: Round We Go Again

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BfVzx3RMMk&t=1235s

🤨

Hmpffffff!

It’s endemic now. I’m seeing it everywhere. The younger-old guys are packing it in. When ya hit your  50s…the world suddenly looks completely different. Men look at their relationships and start evaluating them. They look at their emotional investments and weigh the return on investment. They understand that their time is now finite. Retirement looms - voluntarily or involuntarily. No, 50 isn’t the new 40. But it is the classic male mid-life crisis - it’s just deferred, and pushed back, now. It’s the point where men ask if this is all there is? Am I where I want to be? Am I the person I want to be? Are these the people i want to share what remains of my life with? When we were younger we clamped down on questions like that. We told ourselves things would work out. Shut up, keep yer head down, don’t make waves. Keep the peace - it’ll all work out. Somehow.

But for many of us, it doesn’t. In some cases it gets worse. Or much, much worse. Costs and investments are analyzed and then the pruning starts. Divorces ramp up. Men pull the rip cord on careers and retire. Relationships with friends and family are allowed to wither and expire. Sometimes those long relationships end abruptly and with great bitterness. Declutterring becomes a priority - maybe even a physical need. Chaos and drama are anathema. Life changes. What now, these men in their late 40s or early 50s ask? Silence replies.

I went through that wringer 15 years ago myself. Unlike the self proclaimed experts and gurus on OyTube … I can’t recommend it! 😂👎 At the time the people in my circle were going nuts. They were making me crazy too. I couldn’t think. They came at me too fast, with too much anger and sorrow with no outlet, and I decided I was no longer going to be a safety valve. Everything blew up at once and it was years before I could make sense of any of it.  

I shouldn’t be a dink. Maybe these OyTubing gurus have the answers? And maybe it works for them? Some a those guys doing these vids just got wrecked. They’re starting again from nothing. When my family and old way of life disintegrated I took what was mine and told my former family and new adversaries to FOAD when they bitched about it. 

Whaddya call a female stubfart? I’m asking because I don’t know? They now sound just like these guys and they’re putting out videeyah too! They’re done with people pleasing!!! They’re putting themselves first for the first time!!! An old woman who knits tiny hats and puts them on her cat sombrely tells us she’s DONE with dating and mating. Then she starts lecturing about what stupid assholes all the men are. She’s gonna live her best life and by Godfrey - all us guys’ll be sorry when she’s gone!!!

I shouldn’t laugh. I sounded like that too when my old life imploded. Unlike these gurus and experts though… I never learnt anything useful from the whole experience. I made a LOT of mistakes. So did everyone else. There’s no answer to stuff like this. Everyone is going to go their own way, be successful and make their former friends and family envious and full a sorrow when they’re gone. Whatever.

Makes me wonder. It used to drive me bonkers. I’d come home after work and see my father in law on my chair, his wife over on our sofa… and they’d be absolutely glued to the TV. They’d be watching the retarded black baboon - Orca Winfrey… and they’d be hanging on her every word. Sometimes as an extra treat, Dr. Phil would come out with some dancing monkeys and sort out their psychological problems with fatherly authority and wisdom. All my elders’ opinions came from the TV. Those two assholes knew it all. Their favourite daytime TV hosts told them so! 

25 years later… and I’m watching this shite! 😑 And despite my best efforts, my habitual cynicism and negativity… sometimes I’m still “influenced” people on the innernet. It’s only going to get worse too, I bet. A stubfart with declining cognitive abilities is going to be no match for an optimized AI designed to manipulate and prey on them for profit. I swear to gawd - if I start expressing judeosocialism, feminism, faggotry or any other neoliberal agitprop… just shoot me. Euthanasia is legal in Canada and I think a lot of us oldsters are going to get put down. Looking at some of my fella boomers… I can see why that may be a good thing. 

😂👍

It’s chores again for me today. I got guns to clean, house cleaning, dawg walking…my day will be chock full of exciteMINT. Thanks fer stopping by… and be sure to like and subscribe! HAR! 

 

I Have Been To The End Of The Internet

I have been to the end of the cyberverse. I’ve been on the internet too long. I’ve seen it all. There’s nothing new. The faces and actors come and go… but the clowns and the metrics are the same, from one end of the innernet to the other. What’s it like on the edge of the cyberverse? What’s there…?

Nothing! It’s like going north to the North Pole. Once ya get there the world just loops back around and in to itself. Everything from that point is south - back through nations of assholes, clowns, murders, rapists, thieves, shysters, beggars…and Stubfarts! It has taken a lot out of me to get here. I’m weary of the travel and lately… I’ve felt a need to rest my soul. I’ve stayed off the internet because the chaos, bedlam and mayhem just ground me down. There’s any number of crazies and stupids out there that want to make me crazy and stupid too. I’m tired, boss.

****

Everything is a matter of time. And for that - I am prepared. Out of curiosity I decided to dig out my watch collection and see if any of them still work - you can view my stately collection here on Chudstack… because the fags at Blooger aren’t letting me poost pics for some reason. I started the race last week, using my cell phone as the primary time keeping standard.

Casio Mudmaster: it’s one of the early miracle watches. It has atomic time keeping and 10 or 12 other functions and it has done them all flawlessly for the last ten years. It never loses a second.

Grampa’s old Swiss Tavannes pocket watch: 5 days in… and it hasn’t gained or lost any time. Not bad for a low tier working man’s watch that’s over a hundred years old. Big bro got Gramps’ gold watch but I’ve never seen it after he passed. I’d be curious to see that one in this race too, to be honest. Unlike the gold one… this watch isn’t worth much. You can get them off Flea Bay for a couple hundred bucks. But they’ll still keep good time if you service them and treat them with the respect due to a precision instrument.

Boschett Cave Dweller: that’s a tool watch I picked up about 15 years ago. I wanted a tool watch that could stand up to the beatings my watches take. It is water resistant to 1000m and it should be… it’s built like a bloody bathosphere! Surgical 316 stainless, screw down crown Swiss movement, yadda yadda blah blah blah. He’s still doing good too… no appreciable time loss or gain. 

Seiko Aviator… she’s dead. Quartz watches are passé now… and being a man of distinction and taste…I haven’t gotten round to replacing the battery. I miss it; all my watches are big clock-like affairs. That aviator is small and unobtrusive and I really miss it. 

So basically it’s my mechanical self-winder vs. Grampa’s old manual pocket watch. Who’s going to win? Both are Swiss, both are unpretentious tool watches for working men. This stuff really makes me think. On one hand, it’d be nice to have grandkids to hand these charming relics off to. On the other…looking at the way my daughter turned out…maybe not having grandkids is a blessing in disguise? And on the gripping hand, as Niven would have said… everyone’s all on cell phones these days anyways. No one even needs a watch -much less a mechanical. I am just as obsolete as my watches are. 

And that’s okay! I’m good with it.

****

While rummaging in my plunder I found some old mags for my first .22…the little Ruger semiauto. Sooo … I’ve got that back on my list of time wasters. I’m going to shoot it tomorrow and see if I want to get back into it. Almost did it 20 years ago… but who knows.

My age must finally be creeping up on me. I can’t explain what’s going on in my head right now. I feel detached. Indifferent. It’s the damnedest thing. I just read a lunatic that posits that the world runs on game theory. All that matters is what people want, Your place in the world relies on how well you can lie and cheat, and manipulate others. Do it well, and the world is yours. Refuse to play… and you will be meat for the wolves that do. He was one of those hucksters where if you pay for his books and buy subscriptions to his content - you too can become an Alpha Wolf and be a leader of the pack. 

I just see rats. And they’re proliferating too. It’s a tempting mindset: screw the other guy because he’s just gonna screw you! Being hated is nothing to be concerned about! God, karma, rules - those are for losers! The problem with rats and wolves is that if they become a big enough problem… they eventually get shot. Or they kill each other.

As a man proficient with rifles, I don’t fear predators or vermin but I am mindful of them. I watch them with the same intensity they watch me. A few of them have gotten pieces of me over the years; that’s how I learned to respect them and avoid them. They have nothing I want or need, and for now, I can avoid them. But I’m growing uneasy… I feel as if there are forces I can’t see that are in motion, as if wolves are on my trail, and hanging back without revealing their presence. You know they’re there… but don’t have anything to aim at…

Any of you with the hair on the back of your neck standing up right now? Like things are going to go full retard any moment? 

Ughhh. It’s a beautiful spring day. The snow is almost all gone. The dawgz whine for their walk, chores beckon.

Watch your six, fellas. Something doesn’t smell right… and this time it’s not me.

F-Tard Friday: Balloonhead Black Baboon Busted 🙈

Hrrrrrrrmmmm. They sure don’t screw around in the Pacific Rim do they?

I don’t follow the big influencers for the same reason I don’t follow the mass media - and YOU shouldn’t either! 99% plus of their “content” is fluff and hot air - goyslop for the mind. If North America had a hive mind… it’d be flopped out on the couch, beer bottles and junk food wrappers strewn about…watching black clowns and other OyTube morons capering, clamouring and tumbling about looking for likes and subscribes. It’s nice to see li’l Johnny Somali going away for a much needed time out. Recently in Japan they had a bunch of drunks in a bar get into a scuffle. The local fuzz showed up, and found a small crowd Japanese patrons pissed to the gills… and calling a rampaging black man a nigger - who was chimping out in rage. The drunk clippers were quickly beaten into submission with some businesslike blows from fists and billy clubs, and loaded into a paddy wagon. The black man wasn’t backing down though - and they beat him like a rented mule, bagged him… and then rolled him up in a carpet and zip tied that. Then they just man handled him like a heavy log. Within 48 hours he was on a boat or plane back to Africa.

I’m of a split mind when it comes to blacks. Canada could probly have its own space program complete with launch and recovery facilities with the amount of money we’ve pissed away on coloured crime. You Yanks could have fully funded, space stations and cities on the moon for the money you’re wasting. And for all that money, it’s the same 20% of the people doing 80% of the crime. They kill, rape and steal, get a slap on the wrist and they’re out and at it again. What would happen if we started just horse whipping pissants like Johnny Somali? I bet you’d straighten a hell of a lot of them out without billions of dollars wasted on feeding and warehousing them. Like - give him the full Kunta-Kinté treatment!

😊👍

BUuuuutttt! Speaking of Kunta…. I was just a kid in school when “Roots” first aired. My mom was all teary eyed and inspired by Kunta’s struggle for freedom. She almost sobbed when the eeeeeeeevil no good white men would catch him and do horrible things to him. They’d flog the shit outta him, they cut off one of his feet… and mom would sob and piss n’ moan about the inhumanity of it. I just laughed. It wasn’t a morality play about the brave indomitable spirit of a black freedom fighter; it was about a black idiot! He’d run away, they’d always catch him and beat the shit outta him…I mean - take the bloody hint, Kunta! Behave yourself, do your job - and you get food n’ water n’ shelter and even a family. “Roots” was obviously booosheeeeit; no slave owner in his right mind would willingly do those awful things to blacks. You wouldn’t beat your dawg or horse like that - but I’m supposed to believe my ancestors did?  Kunta wasn’t a brave freedom fighter - he was a fuggin idiot. 

Mom got pissy and told Pop I was an idiot and should be horsewipped too. So whadda I know? I think Johnny Somali should be waterboarded, along with those fuggin liberal Hollywood jews. And… my liberal mom! HAR HAR HAR HAR! HAR HAR HAR!

😂👍

Those assholes don’t know a thing about crime and punishment. Hell nowadays they don’t know what washroom to use either.

Buuuutttt… yeah. Stupid, violent black people, eh? It’s not just them - I get it. IQ is real. So is the bell curve. 11% of white people are literally too dumb to work at McDonald’s. Last time I looked I think it was around 16% for hispanics… and 40% for blacks. I wonder where Canada’s natives would fall on that scale? They gotta be up there, I’d think? They’re descended from neolithic people like blacks. They never invented writing, they never did architectural works, and were primarily hunter-gatherers until us eeeeeeevil white people came along. To hear those assholes tell it… they got mistreated by Whitey too! Canadian pastors and nuns supposedly genocided an entire generation of hapless natives just for fun and amuseMINT. But the point I’m trying to make is that with retards it doesn’t matter how hard ya beat them… they don’t have the hardware to run the software… and you’re back to Kunta-Kinté. 

Whatever. Johnny is cooling his heels in a Korean prison. He’s gonna be eatin’ Korean food for the next 3 years and that’ll sort him out if nothing else does… I hope he likes tentacles, fermented cabbage and sesame seeds!

🤢🤮🤢🤮

Thanks for dropping in. And be a sport? Leave your name, phone number and visa info in the comments… just in case I get busted and need to be bailed out too! Have a great weekend!

New Fleabay Stinker In

 Sorry for the embed. Blooger won’t let me poost pics unless I give Microsoft access to my cell phone - ostensibly via data back up. I’m confused - I mean… they probably have it already, I’d think? That’s the problem I have with this crap. Every other week Borepatch is warning about privacy infringement problems by Big Tech… and I have no clue what he’s talking about half the time. When they force updates and things on me… I have no idea what they’re installing, what they’re deleting etc. So… screw you, Blooger. I CAN embed stuff… so I’ll just do that instead of relying on Blooger to manage my pitchers n’ memes.

I’m no expert on pipes and tobacco… but I am learning some of the more rudimentary stuff. Anyhoo… good morning and thanks for stopping in.

Well - the new pipe came in last night. I ordered it off Fleabay, brand new, unsmoked… from the Heritage Pipe Shop. Here it is in the pic - below my old Brigham. That odd bowl shape is referred to as a bulldog, and short pipes like these are called “nose warmers”. I wanted something that fit nicely in the pocket. It’s a bare bones pipe that some would say looks “unfinished” but… I kinda like it. It’ll be perfect for camping and hunting trips, or just for vegging on the verandah and watching the sun go down. It has a big bowl for those long sessions that require lots of time and prognostication…like a night in the fishin’ boat or after a morn in the deer stand. It smokes longer and warmer than the Brigham and still has to “smoke in”. As per the experts, I put a li’l blort of honey in the bowl and rubbed it in before smoking it. Supposedly it aids in the formation of a thin layer of carbon cake that protects the pipe and makes for a good smoke.We’ll see how this one shakes out. It sits in the hand well, it’s well balanced, and should make for an excellent piece of gear.

Spring Break Up

Something is rotten east of Aaaaaaadmontin, Alberta - besides me, I mean! As some of you have posited - I have been in jail on and off for the last little while. I get caught on vagrancy, public indecency and urinating in public parks, and frightening the women and children with my erratic eccentric behaviour. But I just escape and get out again and go back to being a public nuisance. It drives the RCMP nuts because they bust me, I get thrown in the slam… and the prison guards let me out because they don’t want to put up with my bullshit either!!! HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR! 

😂👍

It’s about mid spring here in Alberta. The lakes and sloughs are still iced over, but the ice is thoroughly rotten and untrustworthy. On warm days there is open water. We’re getting a heat wave right now. Yesterday I went out on dawg patrol in my shirt sleeves. It’s glorious, but I’m not putting the winter gear away or breaking out my shorts or sandals just yet. My daughter’s birthday is April 24. It could be balmy spring weather, or a howling snow storm depending on the year.

I’m watching the aftermath of the train wreck over at Tiny’s. He started talking about some of the deceit and manipulation DC was up to… and I just shut my big fat gob. My daughter did the same thing, pitting family members against each other. No two cases are ever the same, but what gets me is the sheer hate and malevolence involved. Maybe I’m just an old fart grumping at the world… but… I think something horrible has happened to our womenfolk. 50 years ago they didn’t do shit like this… at least not with the frequency and severity they do today…? And it’s spreading to the men too. “Death by runaway social experiment” seems to be a serious malady these days. Maybe you want to call it something else like demonic possession? Works for me - your mileage will vary, I guess.

I was tinkering with the idea a precision .22 and looking at all the aftermarket drop in mods for the Ruger 10/22. I found one in my plunder that I was considering for such a project 30 years ago… but I never got round to it. I was talking it over with my buddy who also has an old 10/22… and now he’s ordering custom stocks, carbon wrapped barrels, a custom stock, trigger groups. I think we had more fun arguing and squabbling over which options to go with - than we’ll ever get out of actually shooting them. The Ruger 10/22 has more farkles and sparkles than the AR15 and they’re twice as easy to install! If you’re looking for a great father n’ son project… hot rodding a .22 rifle might be worth considering. 

So…things’re gonna be busy round here for the next li’l while. The snow is gone and my backyard is full a dog sheeit. I gotta pick all that up and rake it. I opened up the shed for the first time in 6 months…and my big red motorcycle fired up happily on the first crank. I gotta get new skins for him this year for sure. Haven’t gone for a ride yet… there’s still a little ice and tons of gravel and sand on the roads. I have a bunch of dental work to catch up on. I’ve gotta get out and do some camping and fishin’ too.

I hope you all are keeping up with your chores… and I appreciate ya taking the time out to stop by.

Cheers,

Filthie

Checking In

I am alive. All is well. New poost coming shortly…

Hey! Thanks fer stopping in. Talk at ya soon…
