My internet pal Fixer from Alternate Brain Fame lost his father in law this afternoon.
He had been taking care of him and making sure he was in good shape for a while now, that is a stand up guy in my book.
The gentleman had been in declining health for some time and was battling Altzheimers at 90 plus years.
He had a massive stroke and passed away while remaining unresponsive.
God speed to him.
Fixer's job is not over by a long shot, he and his lovely wife now have the extremely painful task of making the final plans and taking care of his estate.
Please, stop by and give him and his wife some well deserved support, the lady just lost her Father today and I give her my sincere condolences. They are very good people that we could all use some more of in this world.

I'm A Grandpa, Again
My boy and his girlfriend had a baby last night.
Remind me not to fuck with this girl.
She is tough.
Two hours of hard labor with no epidural, she finally popped out a whopping nine pound baby boy.
He has some problems but in the long term I am sure he will be fine.
His blood is too acidic and his body temperature is too high so they sent the little feller to OHSU, the best, most sprawling giant assed , state of the art, hospital over in Portland.
They basically have the poor little feller in a bucket of ice, his body temperature is clear down to 95 degrees, which is hypothermic to the point of near death.
Damn that is going to be one grumpy little kid.
I feel for the little bugger.
When I was four, I had the Chicken Pox and they stuck me in the bath tub and filled it with ice.
I will remember that until the day I die, talking to my Dad, he even remembers that, told me he didn't want them to do it but apparently I was in bad shape.
Anyways, Please give a shout out to little Carter and lend a thought to a couple of exhausted kids who are going to be pretty much sleepless for the forseeable future.
He has all the necessary appendages and a head full of coal black hair from what I hear.
They are not letting friends over to see him yet, my boy told me I could come over but I declined, they have enough on their hands and I have been told it was a good thing I wasn't at the hospital last night as her Dad was a complete asshole.
My oldest daughter said that I would have punched him in the head , even the ex said he was a jerk.
Tea bagger asshole, talking politics, disrespected my son to the point my five foot two daughter got in his face. Even her mother had enough and grabbed her and walked away.
Damn proud of that little darlin' I am.
I'm sure I will meet this fuck head some where down the road, I hope they warn him about me first.
I ain't quite so patient.

Very nice.

Blog Roll Amnesty Day
My, how time flies!
It's that time of year again already.
Snuck up on me, it did.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of a brilliant , selfless and enduring decision by two fellows that made a huge impact on the internet and us fellow Bloggers who had little to no traffic or readers.
I will never, forget, when Skippy The Bush Kangaroo linked to this little rant hole and put me on his blog roll, ever.
The same thrill I got when Al Weisel, AKA Jon Swift did.
Al was a prince among men.
If you check, you will notice he is still on my Blog roll to this day even though he passed away a few years ago.
It is kind of hard for me to believe that I have running my mouth here for six years next month.
Six years.
That is an eternity in Cyberspace these days and I would like to thank each and everyone, including those pesky folks who take the time to give me shit,for taking a few precious moments out of their very limited life span to stop by.
Thank you all very much.
Now it is once again, time to pay that favor forward.
This is the deal, it is easy too, Your mission, if you decide to accept it, is to link to five Blogs who you like but feel need more exposure because they have less traffic than you do.
It isn't hard, even if you feel that you have very little traffic.
Believe me, I can remember the day I got my very first comment.
In no particular order and wether or not they actually have more readers or not, here are my picks for this year and best of luck to you.
For those who know me, this might come as a surprise but my first nominee is a certified antithesis to what I normally preach but I love this fucking guy because he stands up and screams that he is tired of being fucked with.
I admire that.
Please welcome one crazy fucking bastard that I would stand behind in a second, even though we don't always see eye to eye politically,
Craig, at Keep It Simple Survival.
This is Joe Six Pack at his finest.
Another lady I really admire is one tough tiny explosive kind of lady.
She has had some really tough times lately but is the absolute epitome of what it takes to get by when you have difficult times.
My hat is off to this sweetheart.
The View from Treesongs
This next guy, I have no idea what kind of traffic he has but he is one VERY perceptive and articulate Blogger.
I need to thank my pals Fixer and Gordon at Alternate Brain for turning me onto Montag, this guy has it going on over at The Burned Over District.
Two more and I know exactly who comes to mind, I absolutely adore these next two ladies and just for a double triple bonus, I am going to hook you up with one of my very closest fiends.
First up is Politicky Bitch.
The name alone was enough to suck me in but after reading what she has to say, I have been a fan for several years now. Swing by and tell her Busted sent ya.
Next up and not least and not last is one of my personal favorites, it's a good thing we are both married and several thousand miles apart or I would make a pass at this lady.
Smooch honey, I loves ya.
When she tells ya to do something , don't ask because it's That's Why.
And, finally, the lady I love, who became my very personal best friend because of the Internet and the reason behind this whole excersize, when you hit the lottery in Blogland, sometimes you actually get to meet someone wonderful in real life, my very good friend, Suzanne the proudest new Grandma you would ever want to meet in your entire life and someone who's friendship meens the world to me.
Hugz to you too sweetie.
Suzannes Two Ton Blog.
I thank you for stopping by, PLEASE, drop by these sites and take a look see, tell 'em I sent ya and get off your dead asses and participate in Blog Roll Amnesty Day.
You have absolutely no idea how much you can change someones life and outlook by such a simple act of pointing someone their way.
When you leave a comment on someones site, good or bad, we get the thrill of knowing someone is out there. and gives enough of a shit to take a few precious seconds out of their life to respond to what ever was going through our minds.
Thank you Skippy and Thank you Al, you both have anonymously left a very precious mark in my life.
Now,can you do that for someone else?

Someone You Should Read, Seriously
Take a gander of what this guy points out, oh, so well.
It is to my discredit that I have not pointed him out far sooner, maybe my guilty pleasure.
Please let me introduce to you, Grung E Gene, from Disaffected and It Feels So Good.
Please take a moment and let what he said sink in.
Tell him Busted sent ya too.
He has been on Ye Olde Blogroll for quite a while now.

Got My Hair Cut Yesterday, Both Of Them
Yeah, I was over due.
Took the boy with me, he has been clamoring for a hair cut for days.
Unusual for a kid.
There is a little barber shop in the town I lived in and I have literally been going to that place for twenty years now.
Two sweet ladies owned the place and one of those ladies was a dear, dear friend.
I just flat loved Linda.
Pretty little blond, thin and just a sweet heart.
She used to invite me to parties at her place fifteen miles out of town, she lived right next to the river.
I will never forget watching the salmon digging nests in the gravel and spawning five feet away.
She has been gone five years now.
Liver cancer.
I went and saw her a couple of months before she passed away and there wasn't much left of her then.
I was almost afraid to give her a hug, I thought I would break her.
If she weighed eighty pounds I would have been surprised.
I do miss that lady to this day.
That barber shop is right next to the bar I used to live in and she would come get my drunk ass and drag me over to give me a good going over, the works.
Hair cut, beard trim, eye brows, mustache and a neck trim for twelve bucks.
Her partner Brenda still does that for me and I don't ever remember walking out of there without giving her twenty.
That's because I think the world of her and I only get my hairs cut three times a year.
Both of them.
Something to give you a chuckle regarding barbers,
when I was a kid, maybe six or seven, my Grandfather took me and my little brother to the barber shop.
He was two or three and the barber put a booster seat on the chair, picked him up, sat him down and asked him what kind of hair cut he wanted.
He pointed at my very bald Grandpa and said he wanted one just like him.
One with a hole in the middle.
Thanks fer stopping by.
Update'
Just to let you know, Linda was very active in the community and was adored by hundreds of other people too.
So much so ,that the city put a cast iron bench in the park down town and put a small, solid rock column in the ground with her picture on it as a remembrance.
I have been known to go visit her on occasion and am overdue.

What Gordon Said
If ya been around here for any length of time, you will know that I have several internet buddies.
Several as in many.
There are some damn decent folks out there who pay attention to the shit we get fed on a regular basis.
The joint I go to first every Day when I can is my buds at Alternate Brain.
They are all over the latest news and I agree with their assessment of said news, especially the news of a political nature.
I do believe my pal Gord just knocked one out of the park and into a windshield.
Good on ya bud.
I would love to see Nancy Pelosi yank up her skirt, show everyone her balls and throw that dirty motherfucker Newt Gingrich under a convoy of busses.
I ain't overly enamored of Pelosi but seeing her drop a depth charge in the middle of Newt's lying ass would give me a serious chubby.

I Got Another Good Boy
Proud of the young man, I am.
All of 13 years old and he took to wrenching like a duck to water.
The kid as almost as big as I am at 13 and already wears size 12 shoes.
Scary.
I found a pair of coveralls that was a bit too big for him and we went to town .
Tearing the front of the motor apart, yanking the radiator, fan, belts, crank pulley and all to yank out the front crank seal and put it all back together.
He kind of petered out towards the end but he did awesome and took direction to the Tee.
Yeah, his name is Bobby and I am damn proud of him today.
A typical teenager, he tends to smart off but I figure some positive reinforcement will go a lot farther than threatening to beat his ass.
Besides, the boy has a natural talent which I am going to out of my way to encourage.
Speaking of talent, this kid will amaze you with his Yo Yo's. I am serious.
He pay's 80 bucks apiece for them and watches youtubes and is absolutely amazing at the tricks he can do.
If he stays serious about this much longer, he will make money.
For you lady folks, he looks just like that little Justin Beiber.
This kid is going to have to beat the little girls away with a stick in a couple years.
He never really had a Dad and I just came along but my other boy had the same situation and I could bust a gut, I am so proud of that guy.The young man is well on his way to being a stand up individual.
Speaking of which, I am going to be a Ornery Fucking Grandpa again.
Some time in March.
Thankfully, I have the New Wife to keep track of all these Birthdays and shit.
Y'all have a nice day and thanks fer stopping by.
Update;
I forgot to mention that of course I had to bust another knuckle while I was at it.
Pulling on a wrench and it slipped off.
I cut the piss out my ring finger on the back side right at the first joint below the nail on my right hand against the sheet metal for the core support.
It smarts a bit this morning.

My Best Wishes!
I would like to announce the marriage of two of the best I have the gratitude to have found on the internet.
Mr. Driftglass and Blue Gal tied the knot today.
I would be proud to meet these folks someday.
My sincerest congratulations to the both of them.
One of the proudest days in recent memory was finding out I was on Drifty's Blogroll.
It doesn't get much better than that in my book, the guy is a personal hero and Fran is legendary in her own right.
I don't know where she finds the time but she is all over the place.
Do me a favor and swing by and congratulate them, tell 'em Busted sent ya.
It looks like I am still on deck for Sunday.

I Wasn't Talking To You
The following was shamelessly stolen from Joel over at The Ultimate Answer To Kings.
He's a crusty old fart with my kind of attitude. I get a kick out of him on a regular basis.
Feel free to swing by and tell him Busted sent ya.
He is right, it needs to go viral

Thank You
Someone went over the top and sent a very nice donation to the cause and I wanted to thank them.
You know who you are and so do I, you should be getting an email from me thanking you.
Other than that, there isn't a whole lot I can say about much of anything.
Been pissing the girl friend off, just for practice.
Ain't beern online so I have no idea of what the fuck is going on out there and for once, I could really give a shit.
It's pretty much all a dog and pony show anyway.
I should be headed towards the Weasel Den here at the end of the week only to turn right around and drive two hundred fucking miles again to get back here., maybe by then I can find something to rant about.
BTW honey, smooches, I loves ya dear.

Where In The Fuck Am I Today?
Holy shit, I actually woke up in my own bed for a change.
I haven't been here in the Weasel Den for more than twenty hours at a stretch in two fucking months.
Gotta get some propane, the cat is actualy glad to see me, I didn't get to bed until four fucking o'clock this morning and now I have to go watch the Daytona 500 with a bunch of my drunken friends.
I got to see my honey for a little bit last night, that was nice.
Hey,Busted's Bro?
Thank you bud.
I'll be back.
God damn, this computer is fucking pissing me off.
Slower than tar running down a telephone pole in August.

Congratulations!!
OMFG!
I just got slammed.
Blind sided, jaw droppingly surprised and tickled pink to the point of a lobster tint.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce the marriage of two of the most awesome people, Driftglass and Blue Gal.
I am just stunned!
I am also so happy for them !!
There will be a follow up to this when I finally get my jaw up off the floor.
The little shits spilled the beans on their weekly Pod cast.
Two of the most influential Left Wingers hooking up, watch out, this is going to be good for them and good for us.
My best to you both.

Busy Day
Been running around all damn day, put a couple hundred miles on the GF's car today.
An hour and a half one way, a half hour over here, stop, run around some more, an hour and a half back, watch some television and get back in the fucking car again and run around some more.
Done.
Got a couple movies, some tacos and a bottle, a few beers and it will be lights out. I will be nice and not say anything about one of the side trips, I will say, someone is going to sleep with a smile on their face tonight.
Maybe something to say tomorrow, as of now, good night.
\Oh yeah, I almost forgot, this weekend is Blog roll Amnesty Day. Go see Skippy, I will put up a post and more links tomorrow.

What Happened To Our Friend?
I have not heard a peep out of my pal Monkeyfister since the last of November and it is now January 13th.
I know he was having some serious health issues but it it not like him to go silent for two fucking months. I Emailed him last week and have not heard back from him.
If anyone knows what is going on, please email me at Bustednuckles AT Gmail Dot Com.
