Fitting on the left is John Deere who wants $112 each.
Fitting on the right is McMaster Carr who wants $8.26 each. Same size PTC fittings. It’s beyond out of control for the guys in green paint.

You've been lied to.

The foods they say are killing you…

They are actually superfoods.

Here are 8 foods you should eat every day:

1. Butter

Hemme Milch was an impressive stop today learning about marketing milk products. Lots of knowledge and a goodie bag filled with samples! Thanks to Jefo for sponsoring lunch today on the #germanytour24!

Cows don’t like sunlight in their eyes. Put up a shade cloth or have curtain half up and see what happens

[Kevin Buchner @kevin_buchner]

This is why permitter feed alleys exist. During the day I get close to no cows laying on outside alleys. Now the question is. If I installed blast fans over top of outside row. Would it get used more.

Ok kiddos...It's time for Environmental Class!!

YAY !!!!

This is a Tesla model Y battery. It takes up all of the space under the passenger compartment of the car.

To manufacture it you need:
--12 tons of rock for Lithium (can also be extracted from sea water)
-- 5 tons of cobalt minerals (Most cobalt is made as a byproduct of processing copper and nickel ores. It is the most difficult and expensive material to obtain for a battery.)
-- 3 tons nickel ore
-- 12 tons of copper ore
You must move 250 tons of soil to obtain:
-- 26.5 pounds of Lithium
-- 30 pounds of nickel
-- 48.5 pounds of manganese
-- 15 pounds of cobalt
To manufacture the battery also requires:
-- 441 pounds of aluminum, steel and/or plastic
-- 112 pounds of graphite

The Caterpillar 994A is used to move the earth to obtain the minerals needed for this battery. The Caterpillar consumes 264 gallons of diesel in 12 hours.
The bulk of necessary minerals for manufacturing the batteries come from China or Africa. Much of the labor in Africa is done by children. When you buy an electric car, China profits most.

The 2021 Tesla Model Y OEM battery (the cheapest Tesla battery) is currently for sale on the Internet for $4,999 not including shipping or installation. The battery weighs 1,000 pounds (you can imagine the shipping cost). The cost of Tesla batteries are:
Model 3 -- $14,000+ (Car MSRP $38,990)
Model Y -- $5,000–$5,500 (Car MSRP $47,740)
Model S -- $13,000–$20,000 (Car MSRP $74,990)
Model X -- $13,000+ (Car MSRP $79,990)

It takes 7 years for an electric car to reach net-zero CO2. The life expectancy of the battery is 10 years (average). Only in the last 3 years do you start to reduce your carbon footprint, but then the batteries must be replaced and you lose all gains made.

And finally, consider the amount of energy required to process the raw materials and the amount of energy used to haul these batteries to the U.S. sometimes back and forth a couple of times.

This is America! I fully support your right to buy whatever car you want to.

If you want an electric car, get one.

Just don't sell me on how awesome you are for the environment. Or for human rights.

Class dismissed !

Do you see the problem here?🤔

[Paul Mitchell @PaulMitchell_AB]

A perfectly reasonable position…

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith: “I certainly do not want children to be making decisions before maybe they’ve even had sex about whether they want to stop that aspect of their life: or before they’ve even contemplated whether they want to have kids — to cut off that aspect of their life. I think that as adults we have an obligation to ensure for kids that they preserve all those important choices until they’re adults — until they’re able to make those decisions with the maturity that goes along with that.”

Radical trans-activists who argue against this position and in favour of allowing minor children to be sterilized or mutilated bodily are showing their malevolence and their absurd willingness to sacrifice the lives and health of children on the altar of gender ideology.

[Clinton @614clinton]

A married couple never fought, not even once in 25 years of marriage.

A friend of the couple asked, "How is that even possible?"

Husband replied, "Well, we went to a ranch for our honeymoon.

While horse riding, my wife's horse jumped and my wife fell off.

She got up and patted the horse and said, "This is your first time."

After a while it happened again and she said, "This is your second time" and when it happened the third time, she pulled out a gun and shot the horse.

I shouted at her and said, "Are you crazy!? you killed the horse!!"

She gave me a look and said, "This is your first time."

[🦋🦋T71🦋🦋 @Tackle71Wall]

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags, because plastic bags are not good for the environment,.
The woman apologized to the young girl and explained, "We didn't have this 'green thing' back in my earlier days."
The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations."
The older lady said that she was right our generation didn't have the "green thing" in its day. The older lady went on toexplain: Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.
But we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day. Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags that we reused for numerous things. Most memorable besides household garbage bags was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our school books. This was to ensure that public property (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags.
But, too bad we didn't do the "green thing" back then. We walked up stairs because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. But she was right. We didn't have the "green thing" in our day.
Back then we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts. Wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days.
Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that young lady is right; we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.
Back then we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana.
In the kitchen we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us.
When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.
Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power.
We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she's right; we didn't have the "green thing" back then.
We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blade in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn't have the "green thing" back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service in the family's $45,000 SUV or van, which cost what a whole house did before the "green thing."
We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.
But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the "green thing" back then?
Please forward this on.

Good morning, here are some factual stats from government sources. I was bored....

Am I the only one who is going to vote with my wallet?

I don't think so.....This Liberal circus is a failure by any standard.
