Free movies...

Das Boot [1982 Based on an autobiographical novel by Lothar-Guenther Buchheim, this all-German production shatters the propagandistic myths about the cold-blooded heroics of Germany's famous U-boats, "Gray Wolves."]

2001: A Space Odyssey [1968 Stanley Kubrick redefined the limits of filmmaking in his classic science fiction masterpiece, a contemplation on the nature of humanity, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Stone Age Earth: In the presence of a mysterious black obelisk, pre-humans discover the use of tools--and weapons--violently taking first steps toward intelligence. 1999: On Earth's moon astronauts uncover another mysterious black obelisk. 2001: Between Earth and Jupiter, the spacecraft's intelligent computer makes a mistake that kills most of the human crew--then continues to kill to hide its error. Beyond Time: The sole survivor of the journey to Jupiter ascends to the next level of humanity.]

Taps [1981 Timothy Hutton, Sean Penn and Tom Cruise join the legendary George C. Scott in this tense, compelling drama. A cadet major (Hutton) leads his fellow military students in an armed revolt against authorities in order to save their school from being turned into a condominium complex. But when an unexpected accident leads to the school’s demise, military discipline goes haywire, with tragic results.]

The Sum of All Fears [2002 Ben Affleck is ready for action, commanding the role of CIA agent Jack Ryan in this thrilling adventure based on the Tom Clancy bestseller. America's Cold War fears are rekindled after the President of Russia dies and is succeeded by a man with a cryptic past. But East-West tensions erupt when the CIA suspects that renegade Russian scientists are developing more nuclear weapons. Mobilized into action by CIA Director William Cabot (Morgan Freeman), Jack Ryan (Affleck) follows a danger-ridden trail to a shocking conclusion: terrorists plan to provoke a war between the U.S. and Russia - by detonating a nuclear bomb at a championship football game! Costarring James Cromwell and Liev Schreiber, The Sum of All Fears adds up to the year's most explosive entertainment.]

Thanks again for the XOM alert several months back. It's having to cover some dogs these days.

Thanks again for the XOM alert several months back.

Don't thank me, thank Dakkie, another of Christine's stable of Jims. He was asking me about stonks and got me to look at my brokerage accounts. That's when I saw XOM was trading at half price and the dividend yield was north of 10%. It was a risky trade with talk of them cancelling the divs, like the former GM did that wiped out my mother. The original GM stock just went away. This isn't my father's GM.

It's having to cover some dogs these days.

XOM is the only thing that limited my losses to only $100k.

Look at OLN [Olin Corp] ammo. Lady X brought that to my attention. They're having a good day. +5% today.

Best refried beans...

Best Authentic Refried Bean Recipe

Second best: Gordon Food Service
Vegetarian Refried Beans
Beans, Refried, Dehydrated, Vegetarian, with Whole Beans, 27.09 Oz Bag
https://gfsstore.com/products/703753/

These are infinitely better than canned refried beans. The bean/water ratio is about 50/50. I use a double boiler to cook them for a couple three hours, real low.

Recipe: Aside from the dehydrated refried beans...

Cooked meat, I use hot Italian sausage.
Diced onion
Peppers, I use fresh jalapenos and a habanero.
Costco Spice Islands Taco Seasoning
Costco Minced garlic
Yellow cheese, such as cheddar
Salt, pepper

I mix everything together except the cheese in the top of a double boiler pot.
Add boiling water and mix, then put over the bottom pot of simmering water, low, for a few hours until the vegetables are cooked, stirring occasionally.

Shut off the heat and add cheese, mix. You want the cheese to melt, not cook.

I've been piddlin' around makin' a pot since this morning.

Best toilet I've ever installed...

I had a pretty bad plumbing misadventure at the secret airbase (in the upstairs bordello) earlier this week (in the middle of the night, of course), including a flood. Long story, short, it required several bits and pieces and all the strength my old man body has to fix it. Took three days total, maybe 8 hours including clean-up.

www.lowes.com/pd/Project-...1-28-GPF- White/1003140864 $99

It's an ultra-low flush pot (1.28gpf), but it has a dark secret... If you hold the handle down for a second, it dumps about an extra gallon or so (in violation of federal law). The short flush is very decisive, but the [secret] flush would be a great selling point (for pooie if it was legal).

Elongated bowl: www.lowes.com/pd/Project-...White-1-28- GPF/1003066162 $109 Same-same, probably same tank, long bowl.

Extra parts used: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Oatey-7-in-L-Circle-Round- Stainless-Steel-Ring/50315043
Not used: www.lowes.com/pd/Oatey-Oa...ge-Repair- Ring/5002026363

Waxless ring: www.lowes.com/pd/Korky-Ru...et- For-Universal/50150240 Awesome.
Not used: www.lowes.com/pd/Fluidmas...et-For- Universal/50258405 Also awesome, not exactly for my application, but stackable.

Both great alternatives to the old-timey wax rings. You can reset the bowl if need be later.

Miscellaneous hardware and time. The job was challenging as hell rebuilding that broken toilet floor flange. Definitely not in the purview of plumbers, more like machinists and mechanics.

Apparently it's never had contact with a tire buster, mechanic or someone who lived through the reign of Jimmy Carter.

I'm gaining an enduring hatred of negroes.
