I gotta couple barrels of this handy iffen anyone is interested.
Mornin', pards. I see all we need to do to get coffee is follow Sleep around. Nice to be able to count on someone like that. ;)
Yep you're right Marshall and Sleep follows the Cowboy Way so he's always ready to share or to extend his hand to a pardner in need! Long as he's tending the fire there will be Coffee, grub, and fellowship for all.
Afternoon, been outside dealin' with this whitestuff this morning. UGH! Already SB'ed two drives with about three inches on'em and more comin' down. Double UGH!! Sleep, I hope there's still some coffee, need to warm up.................Buck 8) ::) :P ;)
Y'know....I didn't really know what "sharing" meant until I came into CAS. Since I've been here I have had total strangers....people I've never met face to face...jump right in and help me out with a problem I encountered. I got all sorts of recommendations on what to do about my shoulder kicking scattergun...from people I don't know personally! I got some nice comments about my gun leathers from strangers. I got some nice comments about the scattergunn shell belt I made....again....from strangers. Oh....I got some salty comments about my choice of caliber, but I passed these off and they were just funnin' with me and that they really didn't mean their comments as a slam dunk. I thought I really didn't have to go "cannon caliber" to have fun!
After I retired last June things were kinda dull...not boring, but dull. Then I discovered CAS and got into it. Ya bunch of ring tailed yahoos put something back ito my life that was missing...FUN! and I'm damned proud to be among ya!
It sure is an amazing group, isn't it, Arap. I feel the same way. I think we all probably do.
At my first shoot I didn't have any gun leather, or a shotgun belt. I was telling a friend about this. Within about 5 minutes there were three guys with various gunbelts and shotgun belts waiting for me to try one on for a fit. We finally found one that held both my pistols, but it was made for someone a little bigger around than me. So we tucked it in behind my suspenders. It was a little sloppy and it looked a little hokey, but it worked! I had to hike it up in the back occasionally, but got through the shoot just fine.
Fresh coffee for a new day, drink up!
Hash is in tha kettle, enjoy....
Mornin' 'pokes an' pokettes ;)
"Hash in the kettle"??
Ya shouldn't oughtta put yer stash in the kettle, it'll get soggy! :o

;D ;D ;D ;D
We don't burn chips out here no more, we scared of E. Coli. ;D ;D Bovine poop around food is not a good idea. ;D ;D
Sleep, I've been eyeing your fire from yonder. I guess I'll mosey in and have a cup of that there Arbuckles. Just keep your hands where I can see em.
Where is that Sidekick you use to run with? You know that Arcey fella. Haven't been eyeing any trains of late have ya?
Things have been mighty peaceful with the two of you not bothering the trains for a bit. I sure do appreciate the concideration on your part.
Thanks for the coffee, you still know how to brew a cup that's for sure.
Will Ketchum
Will Ketchum yer more tha welcome at our fire here.
Have that coffee, there is cold sidemeat in tha spyder there.
Arcey went for more grub. He'll be back soon.
Yeah, me an' Arcey ain't in tha bidness no more... you retired yet?
Saturday mornin' an' fresh coffee.....
Build tha fire up big Del, still cold out here.
Del's mornin' to cook
Did I hear someone say the coffees on?
Mornin' Rafe!
Morning, Rafe, Sleep!
Del is a little under the weather so may come in a bit late. I'll cook if you don't mind eggs and home fries.
That's a nice looking chuckwagon, Rafe, is that yours?
AnnieLee
Howdy Tensleep......
I'll have some coffee...thankx! And if ya don't mind.....where'd ya hide the bottle? ;)
Howdy Rafe......A friend of mine (who used ta live in San Diego...now in Iowa) had a chuck wagon that looked just like that. He could realy do some cookin !!!
Good shootin......
Vern... ;D
mornin' pards, just came in from feeding the critters and that coffee sure smells fine.
I'm up and awake and here before Four Eyed Buck, we was up late last night lookin' fer the "Lost City of Watson Newbrassky" Found it also (I think) 'bout 2 am had to use a saddle-lite. Tain't much left. And I built up the fire for ya, should a been burnin' good casuse I threw on some big Osage Orange logs. Fact is is should a been hotter'n ..........................................................
Sleep, I'm mostly retired. Only take up things that interest me. Arcey isn't going to be sneak up and back shoot me is he?
Annie I'll have a couple of them cackle berries. Go easy on the taters...got to watch them things. :(
Will Ketchum
It was a nice lil' fire Del, thanks.
Been usin' Osage Orange all'a my life.
We called it Bois 'd Arc (pronounced bowed dArk) down in Texas.

Burns hot an' showers ya with multi colored sparks. ;D

Naw Will........ Arcey ain't in that game. He mostly is helpin' me an' Cajun Saddle Tramp build churchs an' schools for widder wimmen an' orphans.
Onlyest time we fights now is when thet no good imitation lawdawg Cajun Sheriff steals from tha widders or trys to corrupt tha orphan gals.
;D
You know me an' Arcey, we is peaceable, honest ol' punchers.
Afternoon! Yep, it's all my fault. I kept Del up really late. Do like a good detective story though, and my family histery is gonna be a good'un. Not much in records left so we gots to do a lotta scratchin'. Believe Del's right, we did find the mising town of Watson, Nebrassky. Nothin' left but some colored squares an' rectangles and maybe a farm house er twa. The town of Niobrara also picked up and moved as well. Might be getting in to a RR bond scam as well! :o Might have to keep the smokewagons loaded and handy! ::) :o While Del was burnin' the oil lookin' at maps , I was visiting Fremont, Mich.. Talked to one of the locals, nice lady by the name of Sandy, she went through some records fer me and may have found my GGF's restin' place. Year an' initials match, but there weren't a month day listed. so's I gotta telegraph the City Hall Monday an' see if'n they's got some more info fer the cemetary that they's responsible fer. So, there's two states down and about three more involved yet. Next on the list is the Old Dominion. I've dragged Miz Annie inta this and 'Sleep if'n you've got any input, I'd 'preciate it. Lookin' for any evidence of a town called Caroline in the Lancaster Co. area. Already know about Carioline Co. there, but have to pursue this some before I give'r up. Lookin' at the CW era here, family was in that county, we believe. May still have some distant relations there as a matter of fact. The three Bros. that I have distinct knowledge of started there. There were more brothers and a couple sisters also. Probably a farm family. The three went west and by 1876-89 were in Mich., Iowa, Nebraska, and Minnesota . One, my GGF, was dead by 1884. Sad tale, we believe the demon rum got him. Spent a lot of time away from GGM, and left a seven yr. old son fer his widder to raise on her own. Eventually the widder made her way back to Nebrasky to the family farm. I have copies of two old letters from the two remaining brothers to her dated 1884 and 1889. The earlier one is from Fremont, Mich., written about two months after GGF passed, and the latter is from St. Paul, Minn. One from each brother and the '89 letter says that both of them are staying together, both are married. Makes mention of items that their parents have for her. gettin' long here, I'll quit.............Buck 8) ::) ;)
Sorry I'm late...been tradin' down the trail a piece.
Got spuds, onions, eggs,gravy dust (what you citified folks call flour), black peppers, green peppers, red peppers, holly penyos, some tomaters, fresh honey, and some new bacon.
Tradin' was good. Can we use this yet today, or do you wanna save somethin' for tomorrow?
Whew! I'm glad somebody else but me is cookin'. Mine ain't fit for rats or 'possums.
Anybody got anything ot trade? I got yard goods, needles, pins, yarn, knives, medicines, mirrors, an' a bicycle. Have furs, hides, rawhide, tacks, buckles, beads, and all manner of fooferaw. Rivets, some powerful home brewed apple squeezin's, parched corn, books, tobacco, and writin' paper. Got one ax left and four shovels, a hoe orr two, whetstones, files in many sizes, women's shoes, antlers, horns, and a harmonica.
Forty, let's us fix some taters an' onions to go with that bacon side meat an' aigs....
I got coffee boilin' an' we kin make gravy for what punchers wants it to go on tha biscuits.
Figger tradin' will start after grub..........
What'cha ya want for tha harmonica?
I got spur leathers an' some Virginny 'shine fer trade.
I got six fresh hen's eggs in that mouth organ.
Make an offer. I got no use fot the 'mountain mule', but them leahters and some boot to make up the difference...?
I figure an egg is worth about a buck right now, 'specially around the mines.
I kin give ya two pair o' leathers an' ah poke o' Arbuckles awready ground up....
Done.
Now, about them other thangs I got.
I picked up some right fair spur straps, too.
Make me an offer.
I've an interest in the honey, books if they are recent, and the writing paper. I've got some canned jam and chicken soup for trade, how much do you want? And is there any chance you have some ink or nibs in there?
AnnieLee
Nibs? I ain't had any "Licorice Nibs" in years, why do you want "Licorice Nibs" you don't like licorice! ;D
Used ta have a store hear in Lincoln that had Licorce Babies in bulk. They closed 'bout 4 years ago though, can't get no Licorice Babies no more, I think they ain't PC. :o ::) I did get me a case of Beeman Gum, gonna get another case soon. Yes a real case of display packs, not a display pack. ;D ;D ;D The oldest gum still bein' made, dates back to the late 19th century. ::) ::) ??? ;D :D ;)
Is that one a dem new-fangled bicycles with both wheels the same size. Me and gopher Grease skeered a couple that had them new-fangled things a couple a years ago at Rock Creek Station. We didn't mean to scare them we just had niver seen such a thing before. ;D ;D
<Turns around to see Delmonico running off at the mouth and hits him with her hat>
Writing nibs. Criminy. The things you put on the end of a pen. But you are right about the Beeman gum, it was the first flavored gum commercially available.
AnnieLee
Caligraphy, Annie? :-\.....................Buck 8) ;)
But licorice nips taste better and how comes ya never whack Buck? ??? ??? ???
Quote from: Four-Eyed Buck on January 23, 2005, 09:21:19 PM
Caligraphy, Annie? :-\.....................Buck 8) ;)
<Thwacks him with her hat just to keep poor, sick Del happy, then whispers>
It's pretend, Buck, and back then, nibs were used for writing. They didn't have ball point pens.
AnnieLee
Oh, great! I get to be Del's whipping boy/scapegoat ::) :-\ annie, My ex was in Comm. Art in school and that's the type of pens they used. If he doesn't have any nibs, you can always sharpen some large type feathers( quills) and use those in a pinch...............Buck 8) ;)
Two bottles of black ink left, one of red. Six brass nibs, two steel, and one silver. Four or five hardwood pens without nibs. I have one very pretty pen made out of ivory, all carved and delicate. How much paper do you want? Comes twenty five sheets to the envelope, 6" x 7 1/2" size. Figure what you need and make your offer.
No licorice Nibs, but I've got a bit over a pound of licorice in 6" sticks. Also have two pounds of penny candy in peppermint, less than a pound in lemon.
Anybody got bread-and-butter pickles?
I have a woman in Saint George looking for a quilt. She's offering a riding suit for a lady in light green, sized for a slender woman about 5'3" tall...everything but shoes.
I could use two dozen tin cones for a Shoshone girl's wedding dress...need those in about a week if I'm to get them to her on time. She gave me a pair of very nice red fox pelts for them.
Don't need no fox pelts, if'n I did I'd set some traps, there's fox all over this dern town, see em out drivin' at night.
<Whisper on: Trade Annie out a that dern fryin' pan afore she kills on a us with it. She's been good to me and just uses her hat since she found out how bad I did hurt my self, but she'll be back to that dern fryin' pan soon. And I'll be out a codine by then.>
As the trading goes on Tensleep builds up the fire and makes two new pots of coffee.
What'll it be for breakfast folks?
Morning, 'Sleep, thanks for the coffee.
<She takes a cup and paces, considering her offer>
May I have a look at the ivory pen, please?
any pancakes this mornin', Sleep? coffee's good, thanks............Buck 8) ;)
Just coffee please. Forty Rod, don't sell or trade that pen to her, I'm skeeered to think what she might do with it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Bah, ignore him, Forty Rod, I don't need a pen to do that, I have the dreaded knitting needles and I am not afraid to use them, Gunfighter style, one in each hand.
Bwaa haa haa,
8)
AnnieLee
What's she gonna do, Del? Write you to death with it?
Got a lot of books:
Illiad-Odyssey...used and showing wear, but in good shape
(Those two remind me of a couple of guys I met last summer: the Idiot and the Oddity.)
Bibles, several sizes...new
Book of Mormon, three copies...new
Democracy in America by de Toqueville...used, but in good sahpe
Frankenstein...some water stains and dusty, complete
Common Sense...heavily used, but complete. one page and back cover patched
The Rapid Piano Instructor...like new
Hennings School Fot The Violin...like new
(I'll make a deal on the last two as a pair.)
The Federalist...used with marginal notes, otherwise very good.
The Swiss Family Robinson...back cover torn, some pages torn, but patched, complete.
Autobiography of Ben Franklin...new
Rights of Man...very old and fragile, but in perfect shape.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer...heavily used, but in excellent shape.
I also have a lot of 'penny dreadfuls' and dime novels by various authorse...most well used.
Have many copies of various ages of magazines from The Police Gazette to Harper's.
Newspapers from all over, mostly at least a few weeks old, some much older.
I'll update the list from time to time.
i've known of a few politicians that got drowned in ink or killed by the pen. You know what they say about the pen being mightier than the sword ::) :o..........Buck 8) ;)
<When she hears that listing of books, she turns away quickly, lest she reveal that Forty Rod has touched on her soft spot. Taking a breath to regain her composure, she returns to the trading table>
I've got four pair of boys pants, three with patches on the knees, one almost new, and one with frayed cuffs. One small man's jacket with all its buttons, worn, but no holes. Two pair of men's shoes about 8 inches long, resoled.
I'd like the ivory pen, one hardwood pen, four brass nibs, two envelopes of paper, both bottles of black ink...
<There is a pause, then she adds>
The Federalist Papers, Frankenstein, The Rights of Man, and Swiss Family Robinson. I'll offer one jar of jam for ten penny dreadfuls.
AnnieLee
<Whisper on: Don't let her have the pens, when ya ain't lookin' she's gonna poke someones eyes out with them.> ;D
<Without a backwards glance, she draws one of the dreaded knitting needles and jabs Delmonico in a place where he previously didn't hurt>
Oh, and do you have any bandages? I know someone who might be needing one soon.
:D
AnnieLee
Got some in my desk drawer here at work. That way I don't have to go to the office and tell them I made a boo boo. (Blood is not good on white dress shirts.) ;D ;D
Annie, one more jar of blackberry jam and you have a deal.
Found some more books in the other wagon:
Scottish Chiefs by Porter...dog eareb but intact.
A Hero Of Our Times...this is in good shape. The title was translated by an old trapper. He says the book is in Russian.
The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow...very old, but well cared for, some fading.
Robinson Crusoe...new with a paper dust cover.
Mother Gose's Nursery Rhymes (for children)...very good shape with some minor jam stains.
African Journals... used, but very nice.
Disraeli's Sybil...looks almost new.
Departmental Ditties... two copies, both nearly new.
Books for books, that's the best trade. What have you got? What do you need?
She's got a dog eared copy of "Grey's Anatomy" some pages more dog eared than other's. ;D :o :o ::) :D ;) ;) Annie don't ferget I got a no whop note. Ker-thunk, clang, whap. ;D ;D
<Raises a brow and gives Del an odd look>
Of course I have a copy of Grey's, but it's not dog eared, I don't do that to my books. Doesn't everyone have a copy?
<Back to Forty, with a look of resignation> I hate to give up books. What would you give me for Poe's article on Diddling, and a copy of his piece about the Bugaboo and Kickapoo Campaign? Sleepy Hollow and the Nursery Rhymes would be nice.
AnnieLee
Straight up swap? I feel like I'd be taking advantage of you. Tell you what: add one more pot of jam and you can have all that and I'll throw in another envelope of paper. Let me know.
I got four quarts of ice cream. I have to move it fast before the weather turns warmer. Quick, offers, offfers, offers.
You have a deal, and I'll offer up jam to top that ice cream if we can all have some.
AnnieLee
What flavor Ice Cream? It ain't not of that Low-Fat stuff is it. :P
<Thwacks Del with her hat>
No, it's that freeze dried ice cream the astronauts carry to the moon.
AnnieLee
That stuff dont taste to bad, if you dont think Ice cream when you eat it.
Had a friend who went inta someplace that sold weird campin' gear and played John Denver on the steriooo. ;) He bought some of that stuff, yuuuuk, if I got to eat that stuff I ain't goin' to the moon or campin'. :P :P :P I bet the vultures won't even eat it.
Hey, as long as we're tradin' books, what would ya give me fer a whole box of Harley-kins my wife has in the bottom of the closet. :o ;D
I'll give you a freash can of FFFFg and you can keep them kind of books Del.
Just call me when you take both to the farm. :o ;D ;D ;D
This stuffs melting, so let's eat it up. It ain't low fat...looks to me like the fat is right close to being all through it...high, low, and in the middle. Annie has jam for topping.
If you don't like vanilla with jam, there's a pot of mustard on the table. Help yourself to one or the other. You can't have both.
Annie, pick up your gather when you're ready, and drop off what you offered.
Del, if you want to get rid of those harrlequins, I'll take 'em off your hands, but I won't give nothing for them. I should make you give me about five bucks boot, but you being injurred and all, I'll let it slide.
< Takes off, and when she returns she is pushing a wooden cart with the items she promised and some coffee to go with the ice cream. She places the coffee on the trading table, along with an opened jar of jam, some bowls and spoons>
There ya go. I'd like the bowls and spoons back, please.
<Dishing out some ice cream for herself, she balances her bowl in one hand while loading her plunder into her cart. She is particularly careful with the books.>
AnnieLee
Well, well, well....................
I make tha cawfee, fix tha grub, ride out after cleanin' up an' kill ah elk fer supper,
then ride back in an' find ah party 'round mah chuckwagon!
An' I'scream on toppa thet!
*wanders down to tha crick shakin' 'is haid*
;)
Saved you some, 'Sleep. There's jam left, too.
*Turns and walks back to the chuckwagon. The grin on his face is huge*
"Well thankee sir, thankee very much."
You should really try Annie's jam on fresh sourdough biscuits made with butter as shortenin'. Mighty fine eatin' with another big plop of butter on top. ;)
<Whisper on: Annie, I'm savin' the other jar, me and Gopher Grease is gonna have fresh biscuits one of these days. But he's got to bring my shotgun back. ;D ;))
Del, if I let you keep the jam and biscuits all to yourself we call it even?
I supose ya want the Mec 600 and the recipe fer them magic loads? ;D ;D ;D Annie get yer skillet, yer gonna have to THWACK Gopher Grease. ;D
Just pulling your sting.
What Can I get in trade for these?
Now why in the blue blazes would I thwack a man who thinks my jam is worth a shotgun?!? Are you nuts, Del??
:o :D
AnnieLee
from what I hear the jam is worth more than gold. :-* ;D
Ya all hungry yet?
Awww... shucks.
< Digs her toes in the dirt, then wraps GopherGrease in a hug >

GG, I got a kid I ain't using no more. He don't look like much but he works hard and the horses seem to like him. I think that's because he smells like they do. He's sixteen and big as a grown man, but dumber than an ox.
How's that for a trade?
I thing GG went to bed but since we are pards I can deal for him. ;D Can this kid haul water, split wood, dig holes, load and unload duch ovens out of a truck. ;D ;D Oh can he peel taters and wash dishes, in general do KP. :o :o If so I'll bake a 50 pound bag of flour inta bread, GG will make several nice cakes of different types and we'll also teach him to cook in dutch ovens.
PS. We'll feed him well and we'll even find an extra blanket or two for him to sleep in. ;D ;D
Sounds good to me. I'd rather buy his clothes than feed him. That kid can eat as much a any ten men, but he can do almost any job that don't take much thinkin'.
An' don't leave honey out where he can get to it. He drinks it like water, given the chance.
Dang, and here I was, thinking of sending Will out there for a while and was going to do it for free! Didn't know I could trade him for bread and cake!
:o

Well it's been nice visitin with you but I have some papers in my saddle bags. Thought some of the vermin might have been hangin around Sleep's camp but since he's on the straight and narrow now I'll be movin on.
Will Ketchum
Will,
If ya look hard enough ya might find a paper on Pukin Dog in that saddle bag. ;D
Slim
Check fer some on Slim, bet there is some. ;D

I reckon it's good that Mr. Ketchum didn't see your branding irons, eh?

Delmonico rides inta Sleep's camp to find no one there and the fire dead and cold. :(
Mumblin' about the durned mornin' shift not showin' up fer two mornin's in a row, Delmonico reaches inta his saddle back and gets out a wooden box. In it is a bunch of Excelsior, packed in it is a DeWar flask. Delmonico pours a cup of steamin' hot coffe out of the flask and repacks it and puts the box away in his saddle bags. ;D ;D ;D
As he drinks his coffee he looks around and finds a rattly old saddle blanket and some twine. ::) After he finishes his coffee he digs his pencil stub out of his watch pocket and fishes a card given him by some drummer. On the back side he writes, "Sleep I needed to borry yer old saddle blanket, will return it as soon as possible." ;)
Delmonico then uses the twine to fasten the blanket under his horses tail. ??? ??? ??? As he rides off he is gigglin' to himself, knowin' the Cas-City folks are wonderin' what he is up to now. :o :o ??? ??? ;D :D ;)
Guess I won't find out 'til i get back. Gotta ride up to Las Vegas (The one in Nevada) to see some folks an' pick up some more tradin' material.
Hold it together until I get back.
We'll look forward to your return, Forty Rod. If you find some nice flannel up there, keep me in mind, please?
AnnieLee
Gather 'round tha fire....
We got hot cawfee an' biscuits!
Forty Rod left us ah gift...
We got fresh 'lasses fer that biscuits!!!
Come an' git it!
Thanks fer the coffie Tensleep. Can't even thin in the mornin before I git ma coffie. I'll make some sausage gravy fer them biscuits too. I love sausage gravy and biscuits, jus like maw use ta make.
MM, Sounds gooood!Been awhile since I had good sausage gravy......Buck 8) ::) ;)
Sausage gravy does sound good! Thanks MM!
:D
AnnieLee
Delmonico rides in fer breakfast. "Here's that extra saddle blanket I borrryed yesterday, it ain't as windy today so I don't need it anymore, Thanks." ::) ::) ??? ;)
"I got a long ride back to the ranch, mind if I fill up my DeWar flask." ::)
Fill 'er up Del an' good health to ya!
Sundee mornin' an' tha werld is good. ;D
Rabbit stew in tha dutchoven an' Arbuckles in tha pot,
y'all help yerselves. ;)
Howdo, 'Sleep. Ever figure out what Delmonico was doing with your blanket?
AnnieLee
From the smell of it Annie he used it tomake a smoke lodge for makin' jerky...
It's gonna hafta be warshed an' aired before it can be used again. ;)
Eewwie! He used it for jerky after tying it under his horse's tail?
That's just nasty.
:P
AnnieLee
Nobody ever said that Del was "conventional" AnnieLee! ;D
Thanks fer the coffie and stew Tensleep. How's the weather out your way. Wez just gitin rain so far.
We got just a little freezing rain, it's slick out so I won't be going anywhere.
Cancelled my trip into town after surveying two cars in the ditch down the road, I don't need anything that bad.
Afternoon all. Still any coffee? Was up late again beatin' the bushes in Virginia. Beginning to think "Caroline" may be a township in Lancaster Co.....'bout beat myself to death tryin' to get a couple maps I found make sense. Annie found me a good'un, but it wasn't there either. I'll have another cup ,please, if there's any yet........Buck 8) ::) ;)
Delmonico rides in: "Dern it's icy and windy here. At least I grabbed the extra saddle blanket to tie under my horse's tail this mornin."
Cummon, Del, you do it to keep the horse's rear from freezing shut, right?
:D
Buck, I was looking at those maps and links far too late last night. One thing I found was that counties were orginally called "shires". One of those links went to the 1890 census of towns and cities in Virginia. Some of those towns had 10 or fewer people. There wasn't a Caroline listed in the bunch. I also found that Giles was in southwestern Virginia, so if your family was in Giles, they may have already been on the move west.
AnnieLee
I'll have another cup and I'll fill up my DeWar flask if ya don't mind. The blanket is only used when it's windy, summer or winter. ;D ;D
Is this a long lead up to a poop joke?
How many days are left on that note?
;)
AnnieLee
Till Friday, if I don't get it renewed. ;D ;D ;D No poop, no joke this is a serious problem on windy days out here on the Great Plains. We don't have all them durn trees blockin' the wind. ;D ;D I can't find nuthin' out there from my saddle-lite. ;D ;D
One of the Uncles was in that area. Had a child or two listed as Pearisburg, Giles and Richmond, Giles.....Buck 8) ::) ;)
Delmonico rides into the camp, hopin' to fill his DeWar flask with hot coffee. There is no one there and the fire is dead. :( :( Gettin' down he tightens his cinch and notices on the Weather Bug on his compooter that the wind is ), not common out on the Great Plains. ;) While he's out of the saddle, the takes the blanket out from under the tail of his horse and packs it back in the saddle bag. ;D
Of he goes, lookin' fer anuther camp and fresh coffee to fill his DeWar flask. ;D ;D
The man blows into camp, misses the fire and the coffee and goes off in a huff. Sometimes I wonder about Del.
:D
AnnieLee
well, he did leave me a note. Had some smelly brown stuff on the corner.........Buck 8) ::) :P
Mondee mornin'.... still got some ice from the refreeze overnight.
Cable came back on during the night so we have TV an' 'pooter again.
Cawfee is made so y'all drink up an' git ready for tha day....
Thanks, 'Sleep. I already been down by the creek and beat my clothes on a rock. Hopefully they'll dry before they freeze........Buck 8) ::) :o ;)
Delmonico rides in and fills his cup and DeWar flask. ;D He gets some coffee out of his horn bag and starts a new pot. ::) Well it's scary out here. been almost 2 days since we had anny wind, the Weather Bug says 0 for wind. 'Least I don't need the extra horse blanket today. ;D

We 'bout ready for his "story" 'bout his hoss ass blanket! ;)
I figger he's gonna get mighty figgety wifout his caffine fix! ;D
Yeah, he needs his Caffine hit. Mornin'. Got a message from Nebraska last night, the lady found my GP's marriage record. Copy in the mail today. Still no joy in Virginia, but she suggested a couple things to try as well..............Buck 8) ::) ;)
Delmonico rides in, sorry I'm so late this mornin' but I made coffee a fore I left Newbrasskey. Don't need the blanket today either, wind is only 5 mph. ;D ;D
Ok, I see you folks back East didn't know that out here when the wind gets ta blowin' hard, ya gots to put the blanket under the horses tail ta keep the bit from blowin' out of the horses mouth. ;D ;D ::) ::) ::) :o :D ;)
Now I have erronds to run, may I fill up my DeWar flask? ;D
Figures! ::) ;D.....Del, Made some progress in VA today. Actually talked to two live people! found the VA equivalent of the lady I'm workin' with in Neb.. found current population is over 12,000, only three municipalities. Del, that rumor you picked up on WW II was somewhat right. There was an airfield there, abandoned now. Supossedly an emergency strip. Both live people I talked to hadn't heard of Caroline, but were gonna do some digging..........Buck 8) ;)
< Fills up Del's flask, hands it to him, the proceeds to beat him about the head and shoulders with her hat >
Glad to hear it, Buck! I hope the folks down there will do some good digging for you. They are often looking for something neat to do.

I'm doing pretty good, but my mind is fried with end of month reports and getting things ready fer our office move the end of this month.

Yep, how's that line go?
"I have fifteen acres, a chainsaw, a shovel, and a bag of lime and I'm not afraid to use them!"
;D
AnnieLee
We got's trees out to Dad's place that would sent that chainsaw whimperin' back to the shop fer repairs. ;D Had a neighbor that had a cottonwood smaller than any we got needed taken down. They got the guy with the sticks of the stuff that goes boom to take it out. Six foot in diameter, dyin' and in the way of farmin'. We got's some 10-12 feet in diameter and some Osage Orange that is 4-5 foot in diameter. ;D ;D But the lime would bu useful in the outhouse. ;D
I was always partial to, "I got a forty-five an' a shovel, live ten minutes from the desert, an' I don't figure nobody's gonna miss you enough to go lookin' for your body."
My favorite, though, is very simple: "The last person who crossed me would've been just about your age now."

Stayin' at home for breakfast this mornin' just took an anti-inflamatory pill fer my owie. The 'stuctions say take with food or milk. So I'm havin' ice cream and coffee fer breakfast. ;D ;D
Boar-dough cherry to be exact., but thanks pard. ;D
Aw, dang it, Del, feel better soon! And I'm not just saying that because Elle is starting to collect dust. Heal up, pard!

Slim
It's a grand and glorious morning, folks! The coffee is fresh, and since folks have been so nice of late, I'll be cooking with Elle!
:D
AnnieLee
Annie,
Cooking or Kabonging food?
Old Top
As it turned out, I didn't use Elle today, though I wanted to when we went to the florist to pick up the corsage for Will to give to his date for the ball.
When I ordered the corsage, I had a long talk with the florist and was clear in saying that it was to be a black rose, with blue accents. I also said that a silk black rose would be acceptable if he couldn't dye one. He said he could get a rose and dye it, so I was content. What we picked up was PURPLE, and not a rose. It was this strange, spidery looking thing. The florist said he had tried to paint a rose, but the paint had come off. He said I didn't have to pay him anything, but he spun such a sad tale of his attempts, I felt sorry for him and gave him a partial payment.
Then we went on the quest for the correct corsage. It's amazing how small town florists are either not open on a Saturday, or don't know how to make a corsage! While we were driving hither and yon, my son took a closer look at the wrong corsage. "Mom, it's got plastic on it!"
"What?? Lemme see that." He handed it over. "Good grief, that pudknocker didn't even use real flowers, he stuck FAKE purple flowers in there! Grrrr!"
We ended up at Micheal's, the local craft store. We picked out a silk black rose with silk blue flowers to accent it, and the wonderful lady at the counter transformed them into a beautiful corsage.
The day was saved.
We decided that the purple thing I got from the florist looks like the Chinese dragon from the movie "Mulan." I had placed the order for the corsage on Wednesday. The florist had plenty of time to do what we eventually had to do, make a nice one from silk flowers.
This evening, my son looked handsome in his uniform and the corsage was a perfect match for his date's black and blue gown. She was beaming and beautiful. They had a grand evening together. It all worked out, but Elle is itching to KaBong a that florist.
AnnieLee, who may post pics of the alien corsage later.
Annie, Sounds like it was a creative exercise..........Buck 8) ;)
Annie,
I would say that Ellie needs to meet that floriest (sp).

Del, Don't you send that stuff this way! It's gettin' close to 50 here and we're finally melting some of this stuf off.....Buck 8) ::) :o ;)

I picked up the refurbished chainsaw yesterday and spent my afternoon outside, replenishing the Frumpy Fairy Godmother's stock of sawdust. It worked marvelously.

Gomer is also another name for an enemy in a Mig durin' the Vietnam War. So Phhhhhht to ya. ;D

Will is a retired Pinkerton, he wouldn't bother you unless there was a big reward.

Will had two AA batteries confiscated, but they let him keep two, along with the metal arrowhead with the sharp point.

Welcome to the wonnerful world of airport security. It just gets better. So that's where you snuck off to! Now you're one up on me, yiou've actually seen Del :o...................Buck 8) ::) ;)
Only the clone! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Ask her 'bout when the lady at Cracker Barrel wanted to know what veggies my clone wanted with the steak with the wrong name for the region. ;D ;D ;D
Cracker Barrels in Newbrasskey always have trouble with the Psudo-Amish, funny, I didn't think we looked Amish. ;D ;D
Buck there are some pictures over on Ncows forum on TFS. None of me yet though.
"Pardon me, Ma'am, I don't want to be insulting or offend you, but I have a question..." stammered out the check-out lady at Cracker Barrel, "but what is your heritage?"
There I stood, in my cape, lace over cotton shirt, greenish skirt, and brogans. The hat and snood had been left in the car. "My heritage? It's American."
She became even more flustered. "Well, no, not that, I mean, I mean, and really don't want to offend, but I heard you talking... " and then she gave a general wave toward Delmonico and Gopher Grease, who were in their hats and other regular clothing (for them), and Will in his vest, boot and pants. "Are you .... uh... errr... from one of those uhh... groups... uh.. I don't know if I have the right name of it..."
"Are you asking if we are Amish?" I asked, helpfully.
"Yes!"
"Naw, we aren't Amish."
I had to leave before I started to laugh.

I don't know whether to laugh at folks like that or feel sorry for them because, since they saw "Witness" once, they feel that they are people of the world! ::) Did you ever tell them why you were so dressed?? (I hope not ;D ;D )
Welcome back folks. I shore am jealous reading about the fun you had!
Boy, that's good, thinkin' cosies are Amish. I bet they didn't look like the Amish we have here. Annie, you should have unleashed Elle........Buck 8) ::) :o ;)

My rolling pin is a hunk of scrap from the now defunkt Hatfield Rifle Company of St. Joe. It is AAA grade tiger stripe sugar maple. Might have to get GG to do a picture of it alone some time. Had a friend who used to work there and he got 2 really nice pieces of that. His he made into a tomahalk handle for his "Sunday going to Meeting" tomahawk. ;D
It is stained with home made alkanet root stain, then stained with some golden oak spirit stain and then just lightly with some Fleiberlings med brown leather dye. There was enough linseed oil hand rubbed in to completly fill the pores. It is then only wiped with a rag with a little bit of lard on it when done rolling. But nothing sticks to it.
Morning, folks.
Today there's coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. If you want something more, it's best you get it yourselves, you don't want my germs.

:o :o Watch out for Elle, Slim! It may have been better just to have said "Oh", but "That's a relief"? Hmmm. You got sand, pard!
...'specially fer a feller toting a 'breller. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Hey, Miz Annie, you mentioned on the other thread about wantin' to see the horse with a glass eye, how's about a half bald squirrel? :o Just had one at the feeder back here that has a big patch at the base of his tail, most of the hip/saddle area, and under neath him. No fur! Couldn't see any scabs or signs of injury. The skin's smooth, no apparent breaks. Kinda grey in color. It's quite small compared to the others..........Buck 8) ::) :-\
Speaking of Elle...
Here is what I found during yesterday's jaunt. She's perfect to tote around and doesn't weigh much more than one of my RATS Rugers. Makes for a good heft in my hand, too!
With an evil smile,
AnnieLee
I got me one of them little ones. My momma gave it to me when I moved out so's I'd have something to cook with. The first time I got egg stuck in it, I scrubbed all the "seasoning" off! I gave up cooking with it. ;D ;D
Now-days I just have the staff cook fer me. ... The staff at Waffle House or the staff at McDonalds or the staff at... Naw, it may not be as good as home cooked, but better than my home cooking the cleanup is far better!! ;D ;D ;D
So, what's her name, AnnieLee?
Annie, is that your CCW Elle?...........Buck 8) ::) :-\
I haven't decided on her name, yet, got any ideas?
She's too big to carry concealed, but I could fashion a leather strap and hang her from my rig. I dunno if Bob Mernickle would craft a holster for her!
:D
AnnieLee
Buck, I would say yer squirrel made an unsuccessful atempt to put yer lights out literally. ;D ;D Here in Lincoln we see those evey once in a while. Just the other day LES said that 75% of all power outages last year were caused by squirrels. :o :o :o :o
Back in the Dark Ages ::) ::) when we still had an 'lectric stove I was gonna make me some supper, as I was searin' a piece of meat in an iron skillet I heard louder searin' noises out side as the stove and the lights went dead witha loud pop. Went out side and the neighbor was walkin' out to the alley. There, still smokin' was the little bugger that delayed supper. ::) ::) He looked a but over done and I don't like the taste of burnt hair. :o :o LES came out and had to put in a transformer cause the rodent killed it before the breaker could pop. :P :P :P :P :P
he mighta made contact. This one is pretty small. Like I said, the fur was gone all over his hips just in front of his tail and there was a patch gone on his underside. Maybe he tangled with something up on the hill.........Buck 8) :-\

Well, AnnieLee, the first thing that comes to mind for a name is "Belle". However, I have to wonder if Elle and Belle is not just too corney! ;D ;D ( :o Trinity just asked me what was being said about corn. I told him to go away.)
I think that Mernickle would be up to the challenge to making something for you. Challenges cost money, though... ::)

Nope, not at the moment! :-*

Hmm... I once knew a guy who named his... uh... nevermind!! :-[

I 'polize to the folks on the board for my last post on this tread. But if I didn't do it Gopher Grease would have when he logged on. ;D I just know him to well. ;D
Hey, Del, those squirrels are such regular customers here now I've started naming them. The one without the fur is Baldy and the one with the part down the middle of his back is Part. I think there's another, but I haven't seen him enough to name him. Our every other night raccoon is Ricky. It's a bigg'un, big black mask too........Buck 8) ::) :o ;)

QuoteGet a baldric (Watch it! That's a perfectly good word.) and sling it over one shoulder like a wee, round, Claymorrrrre.
Oh boy, now I get to play with words! A baldric is worn over the shoulder to hold a sword, such as a great sword or a claymore (sword). A baldric is related in function and appearance to a bandoleer (bandolier). A bandoleer can be used to carry ammunition, or a claymore (mine).
So, since Leigh is shaped like a claymore, should the shoulder strap be a baldric or a bandoleer?
Hee hee hee,
:D
AnnieLee (who once had squirrels named Ralphy and Malphy)
In mah part of this land, we call our squirrels ... dinner! ;D ;D ;D
First, welcome to the loop, Trinity. I always figured you was loopy.
Annie, you have all the fun with words you want. I do.
I like my Sciunrus creamed and served on a round quick bread made with a biolocgical culture I raised myself. :P :P ::) ::) ;D :D ;)
Del, don't think the "Girls" would let me do that. Sourdough sounds good though. How ya been? Hopefuly those ribs are behavin'.....Buck 8) ::) ;)
How can you eat something you've named?
Ribs are finnally almost perfect, still a little sore at times, durn those heal up slow.
Last fall I cooked "Tom" he was a year and a half old tom turkey that was my brother-in-laws. Well "Tom" got so he attacked folks, lost his head over it. Bob could not eat him, so he gave his earthly remains to me. It took me 2 days to cook him, but I got his meat to fall of the bones. My wife and step daughter could not eat him either cause he was their friend till he got mean. Heck I met him a few times but didn't really care for him much, he was not my idea of a friend. So I froze "Tom" in packages and ate him in a month, best turkey I ever ate that had not been shot. ;D
Must be my farmer background, was at a friends house one night after deer huntin'. Was invited for supper, hamburgers. (How comes dairy farmers eat so much hamburger? ::) ::) ;D ;) Must ask our friend from Wissyconsion. ;D) Well I will say it was veeerry good hamburger, Jim asked Sandy which one it was from, "It was from Martha, you know that almost black one with the 2 pink and the 2 black teats." ;D Sadly Sandy passed on in 1995, she was a wonderful lady and the best deer tracker I've ever seen.
Ok, does that answer yer question. ;D

P.S. you didn't say if it should be a baldric or a bandoleer.
Annie, I can go with either one as long as you don't call it a "Bandolero". Something about that makes fingernails on a chalk board sound like a lullabye by comparison.
Bandolero is a bandito, a brigand, NOT something to carry things across the body and over a shoulder.
I had a rooster that started ta spur the kids. I used him fer target practice with my Marlin 39A. He has too old ta eat, though.

Marvelous Toy
When I was just a wee little boy. Full of health and joy.
One Christmas morning I received - A marvelous little toy.
A wonder to be hold it was with many colours bright.
And the moment I layed eyes on it It became my heart's delight.
CHORUS
It went "zzzip" when it moved,"Bopp" when it stopped,"Brrr" when it stood still.
I never knew just what it was, And I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up. I had a big surprise.
For right on it's bottom were two green buttons that looked like big green eyes.
I first pushed one, And then the other, And then I pushed its lid.
And when I set it down again This is what it did.
CHORUS
Well, the years have passed Too quickly it seems. I have my own little boy.
And yesterday I gave to him My marvelous little toy.
His eyes nearly poppedright out of his head. He gave the squeal of glee
Neither one of us knows just what it is, But he loves it just like me.
CHORUS
repeat:
"I never knew just what it was
And I guess I never will."
What a well roundeed group...Sam The Sham and The Pharaohs, and Peter, Paul, and mary fans on the same site.

Del, The deer were back last night. Had about a 120-140lber. back here last night. With in touching distance from Sandy's window!

Trinity, that was bad. That was evil, wicked, horrid bad. You *know* you gave me the perfect setup line, and you know that in a somewhat family oriented message board, I couldn't use it, at least, not directly!
I am starting to think that you are related to Forty-Rod.
:P

Now Annie, why on earth would I want to do something like that. I am a family oriented person, I would never dream of suggesting something...
wait... the process by which a family is created is... hmmmm. Well, I guess I am indeed
very family oriented, so... GUILTY! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ::)
Morning, folks! I guess I'll give this thread a little nudge and make the coffee.

I'll take a cup and I need to borrow that extra saddle blanket fer my horse's patoooooy. The wind is 22 mph from the NW. ;D :o :o :o :P :D ;)
Thanks fer the coffee, Cuz.
Del,
The wind is 18 mph from the WNW. The temp is 38. Temp is supposed to drop. Is it below freezing in Lincoln, yet?

Morning, Del, Cousin Slim!
You should've stopped by for breakfast yesterday. We had home fries and yard eggs. It was yummy-ola.
Will finished two practice projects with the leather. Both of them are surprisingly good for a first timer.
The boy has an artistic bent that I could only dream of having.
:D
AnnieLee
I had brown yard eggs fer breakfast yesterday too, but no home fries. :(
That is great that they turned out so good. Soon, he will be making all your leather goods, even fer yer carry skillets. ;D ;D ;D

Here's a song to get ready fer yer Alberta Clipper Slim: ;D
Well, them ol' boys in Texas chew copenhagen
Wash it all down with that Coors
Ain't a bit bashful about speakin' their minds
They'll tell you what's theirs and what's yours
There's Waylon and there's Willie,
they own about half the state
And sing of her glories all in song
Talk about your lovers and your fighters
wild brahma bull riders
The whole thing takes a holt and goes on
Ride with me Jesus, help me pull this heavy load
Don't let her slip, don't let her slide
You answer all our questions further down this muddy road
Old cowboys cross the Great Divide
Well up north it's saddle broncs and it's hockey and honkytonks
Old Wilf Carter 78s
Dumb stuff like chores when it's twenty below
They're the things that a country boy hates
Too much damn wind and not enough whiskey
Drives them ol' northern boys flat wild
And he many go to Hell or even Vancouver
He'll always be Alberta's child

Naw, I was on the phone with my son. Instead of Spanish, he wants to take French, and he wants to take welding instead of Algebra 2.
>:(
FRENCH!?!?!?!?
Welding vs. Algebra? Tell him he'll need the algebra at some point anyway, so go ahead and get it over with!
That's pretty much what I said, Trinity. I was hard on him. :(
"Aw, c'mon Mom!!!"
I remember those days! Shoot, I'm still whining to my mother. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I spent a lot of time, love, and energy with him, trying to ease/mitigate his turning into a jerk teenager. I don't think I succeeded. I am trying to be content that he isn't smoking, drinking, or doing drugs.
Me self I thunk they done should learn de kids ta speak proper Eglish afore they try ta make em lern some ferrin' type speakin'. I took Algerbra and welding both. Never have used the Algerbra since I turned in the book. But I made a good livin' welidin' before I got all crippled up. Fact I was a pretty good one which is good fer you, cause you drove under several bridges that I did a lot of welin' on goin' to and from Cracker Barrel that night. :o :o :o ::) ::) ;D :D ;)
OOooooooooooooooo, I remember that stuff. My Mom talked me into taking print shop instead of Automotive or Welding. Went to a Vocational School. took Algebra, physics, Geometry, Drafting. What did I do for a living? Put together Sweepers and drove a fork truck. Did I need Algebra? NO! Geometry helped some, Physics helped me understand that two objects couldn't occupy the same space at the same time, so I guess that helped some. I never ran a printing press after I got out of school. Maybe it helped me think or use my head. Even though some don't think I do ::) :o I loved History and music, still read history and watch the History Channel, don't play anymore, though. I worked on my own cars for years though, got into some involved stuff in my 30's. To old for fooolin' around gettin' greasy now though. Annie, You just have to try your best to guide him. Has he given any hint as to what he's interested in? What he might want to do for a living? Classes geared in that direction would be best. I'll get off'n my box now...........Buck 8) ::) ;)
Annie,
If he is talking to you, you are succeeding, hang in there they eventualy grow up (although my mother is still waiting for me to do so, we will not get into the idea of her son dressing up and still playing cowboy). If worse comes to worse you can move while he is in school
Old Top (who still lives at home with his mother, wife and son. Although I do own the house )
"Never used Algebra."
I taught Algebra for a while. When I lived in Germany, I was teaching it to Army guys, who had to get their GEDs in order to be promoted. They were forced to take it. Nearly everyone of them had an attitude against it, almost universally saying "I'll never use it."
If you are ever in a position where you have to buy carpet and you have to figure out how much to buy, you are using Algebra. If you are doubling a recipe, or converting smidges and pinches to some measured amount of a substance, you are using Algebra. If you need to figure out how many bags of Quikcrete to buy, but before that, you have to figure out the cubic feet of the footer you are going to pour... that's Algebra. You want to put new shingles on your roof and you know that you have one inch of rise for every horizontal foot. How many shingles do you need? You are in a restaurant and just got the bill. If your waitress was good and you want to give her a 20% tip, what is your final bill? You want to drive from Omaha, Nebraska to Hell on Wheels. Let's say you drive 55 mph, stop 45 minutes for lunch, and take three fifteen minute potty breaks. How long will it take you to get there? But it seems that you are having to fill up your truck more often than you used to, even though you are driving to the same places. How do you figure out your miles per gallon? Just how much kinetic energy will that 250 grain bullet have at 30 feet if it is leaving the muzzle of your revolver at 850 feet per second?
You don't have to be a rocket scientist, an engineer, or a physicist to use Algebra. But if you want to get into one of the "hard" sciences, you'd better know it. For scientists, Algebra is just the tip of the iceberg that includes Trigonometry and Calculus.
Any time, and every time you want to solve for "x" where "x" is some unknown quantity, you are using Algebra. It touches our lives in many small ways, nearly every day. If you don't know Algebra, you may be able to get by in the world, but you will be the mathematical equivalent to a functional illiterate.
And there is my rant for the day.
AnnieLee
Algerbra is just the snobby brother of practical math. I have used a lot of practical math, but never gave it a fancy name. And I got theat from a teacher in High School that taught a practical math class. The BS terms in algerbra just makes it difficult for someone who only wants to learn practical math.
Only those who are interested need to understand the molecular chemistry involved in the firing of a round of ammunition. Most folks can reload by just following simple directions and formulas. All the fancy math won't hold the bridges and ships of the world together.
Algebra is a tool. It doesn't matter if you call it practical math, or "life skills with numbers," or some other made up name to make it sound like something other than a scary Greek word, it's still Algebra.
Sure, people could attempt to make bridges and ships without Algebra, but if they don't use it, the bridges will collapse or sheer apart and the ships will sink.
You use it all the time, Delmonico, you just don't want to call it what it is: Algebra.
AnnieLee
It's all in presentation, use a $5 Arab word and have me try to figger a bunch of silly meaninless letters into something that resemble's Ernie's nightmare on Sesame Street and I'll get bored. Leave of the ferrin' word and teach me to figger stuff I know about like apples oranges, steel plates or cups of flour and I'll consider what you have to offer.
Don't forget many think in the same manner as I do, or at least in some areas. ;D I never use alphabit noodles in soup so I don't care how many x's y's and q's ya have, and if it's boring nobody wants to learn it.
Okay, Annie, you win. guess I've used Algebra, just didn't know it..........Buck 8) ::) :o ;)
Is Del lookin for a lesson in
F=MA
from El Kabong? ??? :o ;D
Russ, I was kinda lookin' over my shoulder too and flinchin'......Buck 8) ::) ;)
I took Algebra, Geometry, Trig, and Calc. I probably use Algebra at least once a day. The others I don't use very often. I wish I would have taken welding. My dad is an ex-farmer jack-of-all-trades. I learnt a lot of manual trades from him but welding is one he didn't teach me. :(
AnnieLee,
From what I saw of Will, you are doing a good job of raising him.
Slim
Kinetic energy equals mass multipled by the excelleration of gravity times two, divided by velocity. So what a wotherless exercise till you take (bullet weight in grains, divide by 7000 to get pounds multiply that by the constant 64.4 and divide by the velocity if fps to get the kinetic energy in ft/lbs. A somewhat usefull and interesting number but not the ultimate in comparing rounds that are fired in a gun.
Now you can call that Algabra, but I call it practical math. Algabra is something the Wicked Witch of the West taught when I was in 7th grade.
I must've been in a badwater school 'cuz I didn't get taught algebra 'til 9th grade. :-[
Slim
To para-phrase Mathew Quigley "I didn't say I didn't know how to use it, I just don't much care for it."
Welding will teach him he needs the math to learn how to design and figger materials on what he wants to build. Sides that I know more folks with math degrees in some other trade than I know good welders who can't find a job.
If I would have been taught to not abuse my hands and get carpal tunnel I could be making far more money as a welder. Might not have as much fun, but that is another story. ;)
Rant Part II
When I was in eighth grade, I took Algebra from the Wicked Witch of the East. Her male relatives were my "teachers" of Analytic Geometry, Complex Variables, Linear Algebra, and Calculus III.
These are people for whom Math is easy. They love Math, it comes naturally to them. They don't see it as a tool, they love Math for the sake of its being Math.
The solutions to most math problems follows a single, step by step path, often rearranging the numbers, applying different techniques, until the answer is found.
Problem----> Technique A---->technique B----> Technique C-----> Technique D-----> on and on, to Technique W-----> Answer.
The average student needs to see the flow from A to B to C to D to E to F, the entire progression until the answer is found. They need to understand the mechanics of how math works. Once they understand it, they can practice and use it. Once they grasp the mechanics of each step, then they can possibly combine the steps, and make the path to the solution shorter. But they need to know how it works, first.
The problem with the Math lovers as Math Teachers is when they step up to the chalkboard and write:
Problem
Technique C
Technique Q
Answer.
The Student, baffled, wants to know how the teacher got from C to Q and from Q to the answer.
The Math lover replies, often with a derisive, snide, or condescending tone: "It's Obvious!"
Or:
"It's in your book!"
Or
"It's intuitive!"
Well, it may well be, for those who adore math. But it isn't for everyone else, and that doesn't make them stupid. But they are treated like they are, indeed, stupid, because their teachers cannot fathom that not everyone takes to math like a fish to water. The concept is foreign to them, so they continue to teach in the same manner and by doing so, alienate generation after generation of students and create more and more "math-phobes" who would rather put a stick in their eye than approach Algebra as an adult.
But those same "stupid" kids often excel at "practical mathematics" because the same concepts of Algebra are taught to them not by lovers of math, but by practitioners of some other, often technical subject, who often understand the value and intrinsic worth of applied math. They teach math as the tool it is meant to be.
Math lovers should be locked up in some university structure with other math lovers and *maybe* be allowed to teach neo-phyte mathophiles or stuck in a room to theorize about the nature of numbers. They should be allowed minimal contact with other humans, and be prohibited from entering a classroom of people under the age of 25. They aren't teaching Algebra, they are creating fear, mental blocks, and math anxiety. They are hurting far more people than they are helping.
I have no desire to smack Del with Elle, his comment about the Wicked Witch tells me he had a teacher like mine . But there are many times I wish I could have had Elle in that 8th grade classroom. It took me close to ten years to be able to approach Math with a learning mind after that one year with that woman.
End Rant II

I had several of those too, Annie. Algebra one and Geometry. When I had Algebra Two and Trig. my Junior year, I had the other type and had no problem with them. Just didn't care for math all that much. I can do figures in my head as long as I'm not real tired still. I have a good memory for things where I see them, guess that's why I did well driving fork lifts. It involved storage areas and where stuff was placed. My first job out of school involved figuring out and supervising the loading of semi loads of roller bearings( Math!). Had to loasd them so that the load was distributed to suit the type of tractor they were going to use( twin axle or single axle). Typical twin load was about 43-44,000 lbs, a single was about 32-33,000lbs. Still wasn't running a printing press!........Buck 8) ::) ;)

I was about to raise Old Ned about not getting pics of Annie's Flannies when I went back to look for something else and LO AND BEHOLD, there it was.
Guess I wasn't paying attention. I'll be careful and not let that happen again.
That looks real snuggly, Annie. I sorta prefer baby blue, but white's right, too.
I never liked math much in school but always did pretty decently. In the mean time, I have grown to appreciate the value of math and am often fascinated by certain formulae. Sometimes I wish that I had become a Mathmetician, not for the love of math, but for the historical interest. When they talk on the History Channel about how mathematecally exact the Egyptian pyramids are, chills run down my spine.
Sadly, I must remind myself that I have never been able to quickly calculate in my head. I am very envious of folks who can. What is that, right brain, left brain?? I still haven't figured out which side of the brain I am. I'm neither artsy or mechanical. Dang!
About languages... I think that they are immensely valuable for many reasons. The most important: It helps you understand your own language and a person who understands his or her own language speaks better. Language is another thing that I wish that I had paid more attention to in school, but this time for both the practical and the historical value. Dang, it has been said that youth is waisted on the young. I say that education is wasted on the young!
Oh, and Slim... I didn't have Algebra until the 9th grade either. I must say, however, that I liked my math teachers. I never had any wicked witches of the east, west or whereever.
I took algebra in seventh grade. Got a D. Mr. Welch let me take it again the next quarter to try to inprove my grade...said I could keep the best of the two on my PERMANENT RECORD. (Where's the smily for "Horror"?).
My PERMANENT RECORD shows I got a D. Any guess what I got the second time around? HINT: I only got one other F in my entire life, but that's another story and I'll protest that second one until I die.
Twenty five years later I was teaching junior high (now middle school) math. Taught almost everything BUT algebra: basic arithmetic (adding, subtracting, multiplication, and guzintas), plane and solid geometries, fractions, decimals, percentages, conversions, basic trig., etc.
Not bad for a social sciences/history major with minors in elementary education and military science, huh.

Annie I wasn't goin' to quote this whole rant, but it sounded too familiar. :o
Change the teacher to the student, and it was my algebra class. For some reason I could go from A to five steps down, then to the answer, but the teacher wanted the reason for each step. ??? ::) Mine always was "It's intuitively obvious!" :o (And to me it was!)
Her name was Mrs. Colt (maybe that got me into cowboy guns). ??? ::) ;D
While she wanted the steps in order, she never marked me wrong for being intuitively obvious! ;D ;D
Russ T, my son is much the same way. Math comes easily to him when he puts his mind to it. But when he skips several steps, then has an error someplace, the teacher doesn't have the interim steps to look at to see where he went astray. Since she can't read minds, all she can do is mark the answer as wrong and he gets no partial credit for showing the work.
My Linear Algebra teacher gave no partial credit, even if you showed the work. If your logic and steps were faultless, but you wrote a + instead of a -, or mismarked a decimal place in the final answer, you got zero credit. If you had the right answer, but had a "typo" or a logical fault in the steps, you got a big fat ZERO. The tests were worth 10 points. Each problem was worth one point. So if you got one wrong, you were already borderline B. The teacher was a "guest lecturer" from France. I called him several names, none of which I can repeat here. On the last day of class, after the exam and as the students were leaving, a friend of mine stood on his desk and called the teacher a name that Al Swearingen from Deadwood uses often. He shouted it. I felt like applauding.

Miss Annie,
All through school I avoided math like the plague (ask curly), so never got a good grounding in algebra. So of course I got into the electrical field where eveything is expressed with algebra. Did a lot of midnight oil during apprenticeship school.

Delmonico comes roarin' up to the campfire in his rusty Olds that's been old enough to vote fer several years. ;D ;D He needs a cup of coffee cause the durn extra blanket under the horses tail blew out his mouth in the March wind that has been up to 40 mph and has gusted to 60 mph. :o Heck when Delmonico went on his erronds there was about an 18 inch surf on a 5 acre pond near his home. ;D ;D
Rather than drive to a real hardware store he went to the Big rude one that was close and upon leavin' the fancy open by it self door didn't open enough to let a man with a hat out and the door fool was more worried about takin' the cart than fixin' the door. But a 13D adjustment fixed the problem, cause Delmonico figgered if they didn't care, he didn't either so he kicked their damned door open enough not to bend the brim on his beaver. ;D :D ;)
While leavin' though he saw a large dark colored bird with a white neck and head soarin' over the near-by crick.
Mean while back to the kitchen, got a turkey roasten, deer meat cookin' fer tacos, sourdough rye bread risin' and some of Delmonico's ain't fer wimps pepper sauce is doin' it's thing.
Was the bird a loon? I understand the loons have been active lately. :D

Slim I just wore my hat as usual, just poked it down a bit more than usual. A beaver made ta fit a man's head is a fine thing. Funny walkin' 'cross the parkin' lot watchin' the fellas with their plastic strap in back baseball hats holdin' them on and my 4X6 with the flat brim just settin' up there with no problem. ;D ;D
It's been too calm here latley, as Russ T. a bit of wind ain't nothin' new. Seen a lot of 75 mph types, thats hard on semi's sometimes. :o I was tryin' to drive into 100+ straight winds one time, the little V6 couldn't do it so we went into a store till it blowed by. That one did some weird things and no it wern't a tor-nader, somethin' called a Delrico, where 3 Super Cell storms merge and don't kill each other like normal, but gets rather mean, it moved accross the state real fast.
That's a derecchio, Del. Them things is nasty. We went through one a few years back when I still worked at our industrial Park Building( Ah, what a nice place it was). Got to blowin' so bad, I could see the roof ripplin'. It was one of those steel corregated covered by that asphalt stone stone stuff. Scarey it was. Blew out a window on the mezzanine floor and took the cover off a ventilator that was about 3ft. in diameter and 2 ft. tall. That sucker went about 200 ft. away from the building! Rained so hard ya couldn't see the cars in the lot.a dark bird over the creek with a white neck and head sorta sounds more like an Eagle or osprey.........Buck 8) ::) :o ;)
As I step to the fire I'd like a cup of coffee! Hey, I bought some ground turkey last month with a sell by date of Feb. 13 and froze it as soon as I came home. Well I moved it from the freezer to the fridge sometime last week, it'll still be ok to eat, right? It turned grey but didn't stink, so I cooked it up tonight. The taste and texture wasn't really that great, but it filled the belly.
My rule has always been if it doesn't stink and move on it's own after it's dead, then it's ok to eat. I never took the flavor factor into account, though.
Well, If you don't hear from me for a few days, this might be the reason. ;D ;D ;D
Trinity, ground turkey ain't fit to eat no matter how fresh it is. ::) :o :P :P :P :D ;)
And yes Buck after I kicked Menards door open I saw a Bald Iggle, sometimes I see golden Iggles closer to home, they hang around the BNSF diesel shops about a half mile south of me and catch their pigions er peigins, piegions ok flying rats.
Hey are you close to Hinkley Ohio and if so have the buzzards came back yet? We have Turkey Vultures that come back every sping and nest in the old rich secion of town, this is where all the banker, lawyers and such built their big 20-30 room mansions in the early 20th century. A fella told me since they started nestin' in that part of town a few years ago, he now belives in ren-carnation. ;D
I didn't know there was a Menard's in Newbrassssssssssssssssssky. :o The HQ is in Eau Claire, WI. I go past it on my way to my brother's place in MN.
Slim
Well when you go by next time, stop and tell them I kicked their door open so I could get through without bendin' my hat. :o :o
Wel, at least I was right about something. ;D I believe the buzzards showed up about a week ago, Del. That's about 70 miles from here, going north. I saw one a few years back while coming back from my favorite gun shop out in the country south of here. UUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGgly, course he was doin' his job as a sanitary engineer. Lately we've been gettin' raided by deer and four-legged bandits, poor birds are lucky there's anything left in the feeder. That one raccoon is really big. The squirrels are looking well fed as well...............Buck 8) ::) :o ;)

Woah now, roll the truck back here a moment. Aren't you married, Trinity??? :o

What married man would be making Hamburger Helper with almost bad ground turkey?? I'd rather be eating other th... :o never mind.
When I was married, the hubby liked to eat Salisbury steak TV dinners. Yeah, those. The kind with the foil and everything. He'd put them on the grocery list.
So.... There's no accounting for taste! :D
AnnieLee, not about to touch that other thing.
I had turkey (roasted slow at 250 till tender and extra sharp cheddar on toasted sour dough rye like that you tasted Anniee and not toasted in no 'lectric toaster, but buttered and toasted in one of the twin 15's. Put real Hellmans mayo on it and some fresh ground pepper. ;D ;D
Oh GG has got an idea how to ship you some of the pepper sauce safely, but it has to steep another week or so before it's ready to bottle. ::) ::) :o :o :o

It is ussually several times hotter than Tabasco and about the consistancy of purreed apple sauce.
Since peppers vary and the types vary as to what I buy, each batch is different, I put lot numbers on it if I have more than one lot of it in the house. It it only dangerous if you get it in yer eyes of other body openings not intended for hot sauce. :o :o :o :o :o :o
In other words when making it, wash yer hands afore ya go potty. :o :o :o :o :D
Ya should wear rubber gloves and goggles when yer makin' it. Remember: Safety first. ;D

Interesting that Salisbury Steak gives Trinity heartburn. Ol' Jon H. Salisbury (1823-1905) would roll over in his grave. He was an early heath food dietition and he invented it to make meat easier to digest. But it was not as spiced as the modern version. I fact it was just chopped steak mixed with bread crumbs and broiled.
Heck, Delmonico. Sometimes I think these days that Air gives me hearburn!!! I haven't even pulled the corn dogs out of the oven tonight and my chest is burning already!!! :'(
i had Salisbury steak Saturday from the wife's church and yep, had indigestion too. ::) :oHey, Del, I was wrong, the first official buzzard sighting was today at 8:43 A.M. in Hinckley. It was on the News tonight. Luckily, nobody got regurgitated on........Buck 8) ::) :o ;)
Miz Annie, them deer are gettin' real bold. They hit the bird feeder twice today during broad daylight. This morning about 10, went to check it out sis-in-laws room window and had one staring me right in the face! Four of them, three of which were pretty good sized, about 130-150lbs. The fourth looked like a yearling. They were back about five this evening, just before I was gonna go out and remove the feeder for the night. We've gone through 20lbs. of critter food this week alone.........Buck 8) ::) :o :o :-\
Buck, if they did that here, I'd have a full freezer. ;)
Information they don't always tell guys about heartburn medication, that I wish I didn't know:
Tagamet and Zantac have possible side effects of impotence and decreased libido.
:(
AnnieLee
Side effects are mild and may include loss of hair, bleeding gums, blindness, and full or partial paralysis. You may experience dizziness, loss of concentration, and ghost voices, and your whanger could fall off.
If any of these symptoms occur, and if you are not dead or unconscious, dial 911 immediately and stay calm. Repeat the Lord's prayer until help arrives to assist you in positioning yourself so that you may kiss your ass goodbye.
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, they told me at the ER today to take Zantac till I'm over my psedo-smallpox. They said it would slow down the absorson of whatever is causin' it and would keep the streiods from upsetting my stomach. Now not only can't I play NFL I won't be able to.................................................................... Wait Rita works at Phizer, she got the Zantac cheap , she can get Phizer's more famous drug fer free cause thats persciption, must talk to Lane in the morning when I go see him, must get paper from him to take over to Bob or James at the pharmacy, wait I know the doctor, and the guys at the pharmacy by their first names, that ain't good heck I know the doctors nurse by her first name. Ohhh no, the nurse at the ER said yer back again when I was there this morning. Thats sick or at least I must be. ;D

Are ya gonna go in sometime to see if your allergic to mushrooms or something?
Slim
Present! Been a busy morning. Sure am glad you are okie, Del and not so squeaky! < Sending a hug>
Where's that tinker Forty Rod? Wasn't he due back here with more stuff to sell and trade out of the back of his wagon? I need a jigsaw and have three sets of scissors that need tightened and sharpened!
AnnieLee
I am puzzled as to why you need a jigsaw. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :D :D :D :D :D
I still have the squeek, but I think it strained my larnyx a bit. But the hole that goes up and down from my mouth and nose to my lungs is full size again. ;D
I might have to go see an allergist, gonna talk to the doctor when I feel better. I think something I ate though had mold of the pennacillum phylum and it most likey was the mushrooms since they do mold easy.
I need a jigsaw because I have a squishy spot in the floor and I want to fix it before my foot goes through it like it did the last time. While I have a circular saw, it doesn't corner well, nor do fine work. Besides, if I ever want to build a new gun cart, I'll need a jigsaw. (No, a guncart is not on the list of projects. I'll keep on patching Ol' Delapidated as long as I can).
Squeaky, did you ever get any sleep?
AnnieLee
You need a sabre saw, not a jig saw a jig saw is the table version that makes crooked cuts. ;D
Ia couple of hours sleep. But sleeplessness is a side affect of these meds. ;D
Didn't know you were ailing again, Del. Something ya et come back at ya? You may have missed my other post yesterday. The "Official" buzzard sighting was at 8:43 A.M. yesterday in Hinckley. No one got regurgitated on however................Buck 8) ::) ;)
Sandhill Cranes and Canada Geese were back last week.
Slim
Slim, We've had Canada's here all winter. As soon as the water got open, there'd they'd be............Buck 8) ::) :o ;)
I ate something Sat. Buck that most likely was contaminated with mold of the Pennacillum Phylum. My body has been trying to destroy itself ever since. But at least they give prompt service at the ER when you are going in Anaflactic (sp) shock. But they like to give you shots in the arse. :P :P
Pfizer where my wife works has a warm water outlet in a pond. The colder it gets the more geese, sometimes they're lined up several deep waitin' on a turn to swim.
I'm allergic to penicillian myself! Sounds like all those geese would mean a heck of a big dinner! You might have to get some awfully large dutch ovens.........Buck 8) ::) ;)
Gopher Grease just got a 22X16 inch one. 20 quarts weighs 65 pounds empty.

No that is Tar Tar, but they is all related, the Tar Tar steak was oringaly make by folks on the steppes of Northcentral Asia and since they did not have meat grinders they tenderized their meat by putting it under the saddle of the horse and anyway at supper time it was down, kinda like a crock pot, prepare yer meal while you work.

I had
heard once that's how the old cowboys made their jerkey. However I have yet to find anything to corroborate it. I'm sure that you can tell me the truth, Delmonico. What's the story? ??? ??? ???
I'm glad I had dinner before reading this thread.
AnnieLee, who's eaten the steak tar tar.
That sounds right up my alley.....Buck, who Susie calls CANNIBAL 8) ::) :o :o ;)
"Aw Miss Annie, it's all gotta live an' poop afore sittin' unner the fork!" ;D ;D ;D ;D
No Trinity, I have heard that about making jerky under the saddle before too, but not from any reliable source. I have read about lines being srtung on chuckwagons and emmigrant wagons and the meat being strung like that to dry in the sun.
The under the saddle is not logical, because the warm moist enviromet of between the horse and the saddle would tederize it as the rocking montion and the weight of the rider broke down the fibers of the meat, but more than a few hours of this would encourage bacteria growth wich would lead to spoilage. In fact the meat might even mold and that could be bad if the Mongol was allergic to such molds and it could cause Anaphylaxis. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Thanks Delmonico for clearing things up. I have been curious since first hearing it. I wish I could remember now where I first heard that story...
Back to the Tar Tar, someone along the way got tired of their supper tasting like horse sweat and barbarian flatulance so they started grinding or chopping the meat with knives. As the dish moved along Northern Europe, the folks in Hamburg Germany decided to grill it and created the Hamburg Steak.
This moved to America and in the late 19th century became popular at fairs. Someone decided that since syro-foam plates had not been invented and not wanting to have to was dishes, put it on a disposable plate, namely a hunk of bread. Many places besides the 1904 Worlds Fair claim the title of first. ;D This of course allowed all kinds of things to be added to the meat and bread. :o :P
The fast moving world of the automoble made food that could be eaten on the go popular, often with out leavin' the car, instead someone would come to the car and take your order and deliver yer food. Cheap electronics and holes in the side of the burger joint meant no one even had to come to yer car, pull up, order, pay and get yer food(?) ;D
This has made the "Take Out" hamberger the best selling preprepared food in the world. And all because the Mongols wanted "Fast Food" at the end of the day. Makes me wonder which is really the Barbarian. ;D ;D
12:18 AM, been working on the floor, and now I am in the mood for some Mongolian BBQ.
Gee, thanks, Del.

You are right, Delmonico. The sauces are very regional but I take a stance that many BBQ lovers frown upon.
I love it all! Personally I think they are just cheating themselves out of lots of goooooood food. I grew up in Texas where the Steer rules and when I came here I was a little apprehensive to try the pig (The only pig I had eaten until then were my mom's pork chops <<shiver>>). Since then I will try anything that has been BBQ'd. You can prepare the BBQ with sauce or without, but if I see a bottle of Kraft... I will promise you that I will be sorely disappointed. (You know, there IS a reason that the stuff sells for under a dollar).
You know... one of these days I'm going to get off of the eating end and try my end on the makin' end. My problem is that I lack guts to do the work. I'm to affraid of makin' a mistake.
Oh, congrats on the floor, Miss AnnieLee! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Thanks, Trinity! It's nice to be able to walk down the hallway without a worry about my foot going through the floor.
It's really tough to mess up BBQ. The easiest and most common mistake I've seen is burning the outside while the inside is still raw. There's a "cheat" to prevent that: boil the meat, first! Cook it until it is almost done and get the fire and sauce ready. Then put the meat on the fire to BBQ it. I was told it was an old Southren trick.
And I thought you were a hammock kinda man. The offer stands, just let me know.
;)
AnnieLee
Thank you Miss AnnieLee! I appreciate the invitation! ;D ;D ;D
I had heard of that trick (may have seen it on the Food Network). It makes great sense! I like BBQ that is smoked, though, 'cause nothing can beat that flavor. That's why I say that sauce is optional. Since I don't have a smoker I'd have to shoot for option #1. MMMM. Now it's 9:15 and I'm hungry! I wasn't going to eat this evening, dang it! ::)
Yeah... when I go camping, the first thing I look for are the trees where the hammock will be strung up. ;D
AAAAAH folks not just -BQ, many resteraunts boil the prime rib and then throw the hunk in a very hot oven when needed. This warms it and browns the outside. ;D Makes lots of broth (I ain't usin' no 10 Franc French word for broth)
We got a guy at work from Texas, he was whinin' one day there was no "Real" -BQ around here. I asked what was wrong with it, he told me. Had to break the news to him that most around here was KC style and I told him what he was after to a T. He looked at me real funny, he had never figgered out that -BQ is done differently by regions. He though -BQ was just slow cooked beef brisket with a hot "dippin' sauce" never imagined that anyone might do it different. And yes I try them all, been playin' with the NC style here lately. Did Andy, Goober, Floyd and Barney ever eat Aunt Bee's -BQ, don't remember. Was there a -BQ joint in Mt. Piolet. ;D
Side note:
Doesn't Del think he's so cute with that "-" (Bar) BQ? ;D
I think he likes using that almost as much as he enjoys saying poop.

As a matter of fact, Delmonico, there's an "Aunt Bea's Barbecue" in Pilot Mountain. I've never eaten there or at any of the other Barbacoa locales up there, though. I don't make it up there that often even though it is not far away at all.
I've got a book somewhere in the mess here that rates the BBQ restaurants in NC, but I just can't find it right now.
I done had some -BQ Potted meat product fer supper with Kraft -BQ sauce. The Haz-Mat team gave me my envalope back. ;D ;D I'll get busy and get the size figgered out tommorow. I some other stuff to finish up tonight. ;D
Morning folks. Coffee and tea are hot.

I like my coffee hot and most the time my tea cold. But hot tea sounds good this mornin' Ya got any Lap Sang Soushong? Got a hankerin' fer some tarry smokey tastin' tea. ;D ;D
If not some Earl Grey would be nice, but put a spoonful of honey in that. If not some Oolong would be ok. Even some Darjeeling would work. Slim looks and quickly hids his box of Lipton bags. ;D ;D ;D
PS Never make iced tea out of Lap Sang Soushong, it just don't work out well. :P ::)

Slim
I remember the name now, from research, I don't think it is any store I shop on a regular basis.
How ever my research says, yes they threw the tea in the harbors, but went right on drinkin' the smuggled untaxed tea brought in by the Dutch smugglers. Coffee needed the South American plantations being started in the 1820's and the US military replacing the Rum/Whiskey ration with coffee for the drink to really catch on, before that it was too expensive. ;D
Iced Tea was served by Delmonico's in New York in the summer time in the 1860's and on the Rock Island RR by the 1870's. Once again the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair claim's things they didn't invent. ;D ;D The things they claim make me think they spent more time inventin' than fairin'. ;D ;D

As for BBQ / grilling / smoked
BBQ meat cooked slow with indirect moist heat ( not over the fire)150-250 deg F, 3-12 hrs. Most of the time BBQ uses some smoke and will have a dark pink ring under the sevfice the deeper the ring the more smoke in the meat.
Grilled cooked with high heat directly over the fire, 400+ deg F some times as high as 1000 deg. Grilled food has little smoke in the meat, most if any is on the outside.
Smoked meat is most offten cured with salt and smoked with a low heat, for long times 100-150 deg F for 12-36 hrs.
The round barrel smokers that are sold places like K-mart and Walmart, work OK for BBQ. They are a bit of a pain to keep the heat steady, but a good meal can be had from one. The ones that look like tow barrels layed on there side work very good. You will have your fire in the first that is just a bit lowwer than the other. The thicker the walls the better it will hold the heat, so the less you will have to watch it. This is nice when cooking something for 10-12 hours.
Suace is up to you they are all good. For me Beef no sauce.
Pork and Chicken BBQed till just cooked thur then grilled with sauce, this will give you a good amount of smoke in the meat and carmalize the sauce to the outside.
My favorite sauce one I make.
1 lbs dark brown sugur
12 oz Molases
2 oz tabasco
32 oz catsup
garlic, minced onion, black pepper and other herbs and spices as I my grab.
Cook it all at a slow simer about 30 min, keep in frig.
Morning, pards. Coffee and tea are hot.

Something made out of blackberries, Annie.
Beer don't change color because there ain't no fundamental change from one end to the other. (Nasty stuff.)
If a body is functioning properly and has all the water it needs, urine will be clear. It's supposed to be clear! Most healthy people have coloured urine because they take vitamin/mineral supplements and don't drink enough water. The excess vities/mins are peed out. We should be drinking 2-3 quarts of water a day.

Del, you know coffee dehydrates you, so it doesn't count!
Silly man....
AnnieLee, did she mention that it's good to be home?
But Miss Annie... the main ingredient in the beverage Coffee is water! I used to have a link to the Harvard Health School where some doctors argued that while indeed coffee is a diuretic, you could still claim some of its water as your daily intake. (I printed it out and took it to work to share with the legions of water bottle toting better-than-thous)
Anyway, while searching for that website, I found another that I found interesting! I know we were talking about this, but just can't remember which thread it was on (Heck, it could have been in my real life that I was talking about this, but it is still intersting and still applies here ;D ;D ;D)
POOP:
QuoteFrequency. In Western societies, people generally defecate two or three times a day, but it's an individual matter. All the advice about the importance of regular bowel movements notwithstanding, some people defecate just once a week and are perfectly healthy. Constipation isn't defined by the frequency of bowel movements, but by whether someone has difficulty when they have one.
The urge to defecate is often strongest in the morning: Just getting up triggers the movement of the large intestine. The stomach also sends a signal when it expands after a meal. This gastrocolic reflex is the reason many people, and especially children, need to go to the bathroom soon after eating. The reflex gets weaker with age, which is one source of constipation problems.
Levitt says in his book that it's a good idea to delay defecation a little whenever possible because a more intense urge makes it easier to start a bowel movement. He also advises against forcing a bowel movement.
Color. Feces are normally brown because of pigments formed by bacteria acting on the bile that comes into the digestive system from the liver. Bleeding from the esophagus, stomach, or small intestine produces black, tarry stool called melena that has a very bad odor. Large bleeds from the large intestine cause the red color you'd expect from blood; small ones from anywhere in the gut are invisible. Liver problems, such as jaundice or a blockage of the bile duct that connects the liver to the small intestine, may result in acholic (which means without bile) stool that is white or pale.
In many cases, however, changes in the color of feces are completely harmless. Darkly pigmented foods like blueberries and beets can change the color. Iron pills and the bismuth in Pepto-Bismol darken stool. The contrast agents in imaging studies lighten it.
Fat content. Normal stool is about 1% fat. Passing stool that is 7% fat is called steatorrhea. The feces are soft, unusually smelly, and stick to the side of the toilet bowl. Steatorrhea is a sign that the digestive system isn't breaking down or absorbing fat as well as it should. There might be a problem with your pancreas, which produces enzymes that break down fat, or the small intestine, which absorbs fat. High-fat meals may also cause brief bouts of steatorrhea.
Consistency. Feces are normally about 75% water. If they contain too much water, they're soft; if they contain too little, they're hard. Soft feces can lead to incontinence and passive soiling. Hard feces can cause constipation.
Removing water is one of the major functions of the large intestine. A healthy large intestine takes 11/2 quarts of mushy material from the small intestine and turns it into a cup or so of semisolid feces. But if that material goes through the large intestine too fast, it stays watery and the stool is soft. If the so-called colonic transit time is slow, the material dries out and the stool is hard. One reason older people are often troubled by constipation is that movements of the large intestine tend to slow down with age, so colonic transit times get longer. Many medications and less physical activity cause intestinal sluggishness, too.
Fiber intake also influences stool consistency because it tends to hold on to water as it passes through the large intestine. Diets high in fiber from fruit, vegetables, and whole grains have a multitude of health benefits. But if you're bothered by soft-stool problems you might consider cutting back a little.
Fiber does add bulk to feces, but it's soft bulk (because of the water) and that's why it can help people with mild constipation. Dr. Levitt cautions that fiber is really a very mild laxative. For someone with a serious problem with constipation, he says "the large intestine will laugh at these puny efforts [of fiber] to make it contract while all the time permitting gas to build up inside."
Conditions that cause water and salt to flow into, rather than out of, the intestines are another cause of soft stool and diarrhea. Any number of infections can cause this wrong-way flow of fluid into the intestines.
Odor. The normal unpleasant scent of feces comes primarily from sulfur compounds produced by certain types of bacteria in the colon. Foods that are naturally high in sulfur — such as cabbage, broccoli, and other cruciferous vegetables and some types of protein — can lead to high-sulfur, and therefore, strong-smelling, feces. Sulfur compounds are also added to foods like beer and bread as preservatives. Even without a major dietary source, some people produce sulfur-rich stool because their large intestines are heavily colonized by bacteria that generate sulfur compounds.

AHA!!!
You want a new subject?
I, Madam, am a root beer connoss...connush...cornish...lover.
A&W is still one of the best, especially in a tall frosted mug. (The canned stuff don't measure up.)
I'll entertain others for me to try. I have a friend (I do, too) who finds all kinds of scrrewball brands for me to try. Most are something less than satisfactory, some are out and out terrible.
Check out Galco's Soda Pop Stop, HQ in Seattle, I think.
Also Anthony's Root Beer Barrel...he doesn't sell 'em, he runs a web site that compares and rates about a gazillion brands.
Might look into Beverages Direct, Root 66 (cute), and Root Berr World, too.
Hmm.. who is "Madan"?
And Forty is either a connoisseur of root beer or he has some kinky thing going with Cornish Game Hens. :D
A&W is the best. When I was growing up, the place we wanted to go and eat was their stand, which was a true drive up, complete with the trays on the windows, girls on roller skates and frosted GLASS mugs.
Rootbeer is the second eldest soft drink. Gingerale was the only one to beat them out. Hires, the original rootbeer, is very good, but A&W is the best.
:D
AnnieLee
I kinda like IBC myself, didn't know Hires was the oldest. Tastewise, isn't it related to Sarsparilla?........Buck 8) ::) :-\ ???
I have much more enlightened tastes, I drink the imported stuff.
Sioux City Sassparilla, Sioux City Ginger Beer and Sioux City Birch Beer. All root beers, all slightly different, imported from Sioux City Ioway. For a change, Sioux City Cream Soda. Many sodas were on tap, but I belive Hires Root beer is the first soda bottled. About 1885 with out checking referances. About 1899 for bottled Coca Cola, that is the good stuff before they took out the cocaine. :o :o All sodas were considered medicinal in the 19th century.
Ice cream sodas date to before the Civil War along with tap soda (fountian). May towns passed laws forbidding the selling of Ice Cream sodas on Sunday so they started selling ice cream with out the soda on that day, the Sunday (sundae) was born and lives with us to this day. ;D
Never devloped a taste for ginger beer or birch beer. Some cream sodas arre alright, but most are way too sweet and syruppy for my palate. (Palate! HA!)
Del, I've had some Sioux City and liked it........Buck 8) ;)

Since this is supposed to be coffee and grub, I am < gasp :o > posting on-topic with a grub question.
I want to make some salsa. Why do salsa recipes call for olive oil? Vinegar I could maybe understand, but not olive oil. Why is it in there?
Perplexed,
AnnieLee
I've never made home-made salsa, Annie, but I have had some made by a girl at work a few years ago. MUCH better than the stuff in jars. Since it's a Spanish inspired dish, the olive oil fits. That fresh Salsa was really yummy............Buck 8) ::) ;)
If there was any oil in it, it'd have to be olive oil, I agree, Buck. But why any oil at all?
???
AnnieLee
Where's Del when you need him? Maybe you shouldn't have hit him so hard with that skillet...........Buck 8) ::) :o ;)
Yeah, where IS Del?
I made a batch of it. I got the consistency about right, but it isn't red, it's almost gray-red, and the taste is watery. Dadgum it! :'(
Too much Cilantro?
I dated a girl once that said that could not stand the taste of cilantro. She said that it gave everything the taste of dirty dishwater. I've seen greyish-red salsas before. Remember, the salsas out of the jars probably have red # 40 in them... along with red # 3, red #7, red #12, red #3, red #45, red #68, red #83, red #124, red #632, red #905, red #1,673 & yellow #5.
Good points, Trinity!
I don't think it has too much cilantro as the taste isn't overwhelming. Maybe the salsa companies just use the outer portion of the tomatoe? The inner pulp or what ever it is called is a much lighter color.
AnnieLee
Delmonico comes in just a rantin' and a ravin' where in the (you know what) is the post from a half hour ago, It said it posted, where in the (you know what) is it????????????
Ok try again. Saute the onions, the garlic and the chili peppers in the oil, that most likely is the problem, don't make no differance if the chili's are fresh or dry. Never allow it to burn, the combination of burnt, chili, onions and garlic is (you know what). When using fresh peppers be carful, wear rubber gloves if you want, even with the gloves, never touch any body openings on youself or others with out washing your hands with soap and water several times. :o :o :o
Use paparika to color it, the cheap spanish is ok for this cause the chili will cover the delicate flavor of the paparika anyway.
Now if this post gets lost I'm really mad, if anyone finds the other one, go ahead and delete it. ::)
I see it now, Del, thanks!
I may add some more onions and chili to this batch to see if I can make the flavor stronger. I was using an "uncooked" recipe with no oil.

Probably posted over in the "Darksider's Den", Del. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Do I start a rumor about Slim
Do I not start a rumor about Slim

Del, you are going to start the rumor anyway, no matter how the poll goes. Might as well get on with it.

Ok, but remember this is just a rumor.
Our dear sweet friend Slim was out gatherin' Easter Eggs yesterday with those seet girls of his, well when they were done he could not refuse when one peeled him and egg and so he ate it, well I want to peel one for Daddy and the chain reaction started, soon it reached critical mass and before he knew it he had ate more egges than "Cool Hand Luke." ;D ;D
Well on the way to work this morning in the dark country side of Wissyconsion, Slim was driving to work in his Ford truck and since it is Wissyconsion it was cold in the morning and his window was rolled up. Like a lot of old Ford trucks do from time to time the lights blinked, and a small arc occured in the headlight circuit breaker, not a porblem normally, but the build up of methane gas and sufurous gases was at the critical stage and there was a bright blue flash. Film at 11.
So... are you saying that Slim had the winds and that caused his truck to blow up on the highway?
Either that or he took the day off, a lot of that going around today. ;D ;D ;D ;D
You see what I'm doing with my day off. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Not much I'd like to be doing outside anyway, cold and drizzly as it is. I guess, though, that it is still much warmer than out west yonder. I keep trying to watch this "new" spaghetti western that I got with Lee Van Cleef but I fall asleep every time. This has happend several times already! ...and I call myself a fan. Shame on me!!!
That reminds me... I went to Columbia House to order the Trinity DVDs and they don't carry them!! Rasa frasa and they call themselves a DVD sales place? What are they, COMMUNISTS?!* I'd cancel my membership right now, if I didn't have to order another 4 DVDs to fulfill my obligation to them. Grrr.

I know what you are talking about with Columbia House. I joined them when I first got my DVD player with the grand hopes of buildng a great westerd DVD collection. Nope! Actually, I do think they are commies because proudly displayed on the first page of their website is usually one of Michael Moore's movies!!! Now, I am so glad for free speech in this country, but this guy drives me nuts! (As I know he wants to, so I usually shy away from people ranting like I am right now ;D )
Oh yeah, and another "that reminds me..."
Trinity, you should go here: http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php?topic=2369.0 If you want to be one of the RATS.

Hey Annie! I cleaned my monitor and I'm ready for some more of those orchids now. I know I'm allergic to Easter Lillys, don't know about orchids, but at least cyber ones won't kick it up......Buck 8) ::) ;)
I'll try to coax more of them to bloom, Buck. Most of the time, they are just weedy things that suck up space, water and fertilizer. But when they bloom...
<Happy sigh>
AnnieLee, who spotted Slim over on TFS, so he didn't get blowed up from being too nice to his girls.
Afternoon, y'all.
I leave and yous guys have some pretty weird discussions. (Not weirder than the discussions I've had.) ;D ;D ;D
Slim
Afternoon Slim, did ya get yer windows back in yer pickup? Don't worry the beard will grow back. ;D
Make sure you don't have any holes in yer fire wall, ya know what happens to a Dee-sall en-gy-anne if methane, propane, butane or other similar gasses find their way to the intake? :o :o :o :o :o

One of the great things about having CAS-City and TFS is I get to hug my cousin twice!
SLIM!!!!!
< Hugs him, laughing>
And when you show up on the Newbrassky thread, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother will get her hug.

"Mah Plaisure, but you stay away from them questionable movies that come up when you search fer 'Trinity' ;) " ::) ::) ::)
Well, I was looking for "My Name is Trinity," "Trinity is Still My Name," and "My Name is Nobody," :D when "Boot Hill" showed up. The comments on the DVDs take big notice of the quality depending on who made the conversion. It sounds like someone made bootleg copies off a VHS that had been used a bazillion times.
I dunno what ones are the best.

To be honest, I don't think there is a truly "good" copy out there. I don't know who owns the masters but whoever it is doesn't seem to be interested in cleaning them up. I used to frequent a Spaghetti Western board. I might have to go and ask this question to see if we get an answer. ...Now to find that address.
Anyway, because of my past experience with the movie, I just bit the bullet and found the cheapest movie and bought it. I wasn't disappointed because as I may have said before, the quality was no worse than I had ever seen.
Now... you mentioned Boot Hill... I've got that one too and it looks like a
tape that has been copied a bazillion times... squared! And the soundtrack? ...Cubed! It is truly awful. Good for a laugh, though.
My name is nobody. Now there is a pretty good movie. I am excited because it has previously been unavailable on DVD. After reading your post, I checked on it at Amazon and there it was! ;D I had been waiting for its release, but from a the original releasing studio, which this is not. Every time I've ever seen this one it has been pretty clean which means if I get a lousy DVD, I'd be mighty unhappy. :(

Okie, so I'll get all three Trinity's from Amazon, view My name is Nobody, then mail it off to you. If you like it, buy one and ship it back to me!

;D ;DThankee for your offer! I do appreciate it! Now, don't forget that my offer for "Trinity is Still My Name" still stands as well. Heck, for that matter I can send you all my Trinity copies before you buy so that you can see what kind of quality you are getting. (You can also see by the screen shots that I put in back when we were talking about bathing/cleanliness ;D)
Trinity, you didn't tell us it was your birthday, today!! Shame on you!
On March 29, 1939, Terence Hill was born.
Happy Birthday, Trinity!!!

(Modern day Terence Hill)
HEY! There's no wedding band on his fingers! He's.... Eligible!!!
< Falls over in a swoon>
***THUMP***
<Gets back up, all disgusted with herself when Google tells her he currently lives in Massachusettes with his WIFE Lori>
Gads. Oh.... well.
That ain't Trinity.
1. He's shaved.
2. He's clean.
3. He's wearing nice clothes.
4. He's not wearing a hat or a gun. (That THANG on his head ain't a real hat.)
5. He's OLD!!!
Aye, he's 66, Forty, older than you!
And were he not married and I not a nun, I'd say he is incredibly "doable."
:D
AnnieLee
You're telling me you'd do him at the drop of a hat, and drop the hat yourself? ::) ::)
Annis, I'm shocked!!! :o :o :o
Shocked, I say, and stunned! ;) :P :P :P

>:( :o >:(
Actually, the phrase that came to mind was "I'd trip him and beat him to the floor." :D :P :D
AnnieLee
You're a nasty broad. :o
I always liked that in a woman. ;D ;) ;D
Ahhhh, I don't want to interupt a couple of letchs in the middle of lust and pre-vesions, but, I don't think the Trinity movies were that good a quality to begain with. If I remember right the filming was not of the best quality when they were new and in the theatre. I can't say for sure, cause it's been a while, but it seems to me they were rather low buck and lousy graphics compared to many others.
Since we're on a Terrence Hill kick, has anyone seen any of the Lucky Luke series?
Slim
I never heard of Lukey Luck.
Lucky Luke is a popular comic book hero in Europe for the past several decades. In the late eighties or very early nineties Terence Hill made a movie (which I do not have) and subsequently a short series of TV episodes. I have a few of those episodes. They and the movie are entertaining, but not great.
<Comes back after a long day and turns on her little green light>
Nasty?
Nasty??! Me? I didn't say anything graphic, coarse, or crude. It was all... allusion.
:D
<PM's Forty with the nickname her mother gave her>

Miss Annie.... Now who is the married one?? (I shan't even make any coment about your other posts ;D ;D ;D )
Terence Hill is married. Brad Pitt isn't married, though. He left Jennifer just so he could be with me.
<Waiting for her phone to ring>

Annie, save some for me, too.
Used to call those types The IN Crowd>
INsufferable.
INsignificant.
INeffectual.
INconsequential.
INconsiderate.
INbred.
INdecisive.
INfused with their own sense of importance.
One of the worst things you could do a person in the aerospace plant where I worked was to congratulate them on becoming one of The IN Crowd.

PITA and PETA are both the same.
How 'bout that?
Horse Apples also hit the road.
Knew a nurse that said the only thing more dangerous in a hospital than a Staph infection was a staff meeting. Made sense to me.
That long haul is done, yay!
On the way home, I stopped at the gunshop and fondled the object of my lust. They even showed me how to field strip it.
Someone please send me $1428 so I can give it a good home, please, please??
When I got home, my son and I went egg hunting.

$14.28? No problem! I'll get a check out in the mail to you right away! I don't what kind of firearm one can buy for such an amount, but whatever! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nope, yer fine. You were right about not being able to do it on Easter. We just "HUNT" them, which involves going out in the woods with a bunch of eggs. We hide them around, then
BLAST them into smithereens and egg-goo with our Cowboy rifles.

Well... I guess I misunderstood, which is nothing new for me. I just figured that you two searched after hidden eggs which perhaps you had not been able to do on Easter. I re-read your post and thought of all the different ways it could be interpereted. However, since I am a pretty literal person, I just cannot understand... :-[ :-[ :-[
Nope, yer fine. You were right about not being able to do it on Easter. We just "HUNT" them, which involves going out in the woods with a bunch of eggs. We hide them around, then BLAST them into smithereens and egg-goo with our Cowboy rifles.
Heh heh heh.
:D
AnnieLee
Now, that sounds like a ... ready? ... BLAST!! ;D ;D ;D I'm guessing you live on the edge of or in the woods?? Lucky!!
Yep. When I bought this land, some dirt roads, paths and a small area in the front had been cleared. I had to clear it for the water, septic and trailer. The rest is ALL woods.
And I like it like that.
:D
AnnieLee
Sounds nice to me! 'Specially since you can shoot in your back yard! ;D ;D

Tensleep's outside of Richmond. He travels to NC to shoot. Camille Eonich lives in NC but has come up here to shoot at Tensleep's place and at Mason Dixon Stampede. I live about 85 miles north of Tensleep. According to MapQuest, I live about 192 miles north of Rocky Mount, NC.
While I do my share of "getting around" and shoot at Pungo (150 miles south), Rocky Mount is just too far for me to drive, shoot and drive back in one day, so I haven't been to NC to shoot yet. :(

Forty, do you cost $1428?..........Buck 8) ::) :-\ ;)
Since Forty hasn't answered <Making chicken noises> P-Ka, P-kA!
It'd probably cost me that much to board the dogs and fly out to CA to meet Forty, Old Top, and Curley. I wouldn't bring the firearms, so probably wouldn't be able to shoot, but I could go to a match and hang out. I would bring the new flannel corset dress, though.
So, what do you think would happen if I flew out there? Would mischief and mayhem ensue, or would we be all "Aw shucks", digging our toes in the dirt not knowing what to say, and be genteel?

No reason to feel bad. Heck, once you cross the NC border, you still have more than an hour and a half to drive till you get to a shoot. I don't know why they have to be so far away!!! The one good thing is that the place where the NC championships is held is concidered the Mecca of BBQ in NC ;D ;D ;D

Dern new fangled mess!
When I was a kid my cat at the time was batting a golf ball around the house. After a short while the cat came running out of the room hissing and with her fur all bristled out, looking like a round ball. Then we heard what we thought to be a rattle snake. Cautiously, we looked around the corner and found that the cat had knocked the darned thing over the heater, the cover had melted off and the ball was unwinding. The wind was so tight that when it unwound, it did so with such force the ball would bounce all over the room making the rattler sounds and then it would stop. When it stopped, the cat would go back over to it and gingerly tap it and it would start all over again, sending the cat running. :D :D :D
It just wouldn't be as much fun with a solid foam rubber core!! >:(
What?? No rubber bands? Where's the adventure in that? In addition to being an outstanding cat toy, what about the future fledgling engineers?
I guess I was getting on Dad's nerves a little that day, when he handed me one of his golf balls and asked me what was in the middle of it. Of course I had to find out, and I was out of his hair most of a day unwinding that rubber string.

It works for me. Some of this new anti-spam devices block stuff like that I know.

They were going to make me a part of the women's auxilary, but I wouldn't settle for making pancakes for their charity benifits. I whipped out my credentials and degree and background, ohm-meter, spark plug wrench, and all the other assorted assemblage and they had to let me in, but with an adaptation, or patch so I am BHROTOS.

I could possibally get a tube today where I couldn't in 1975. Would have to do some cross referanceing and maybe change a socket. It's not that they quit making tubes, we just didn't want to buy the from the Rooshians back then.
I have a friend in the music bussiness and they are digging out the old tube amps and fixing them with Rooshian tubes.

Hi honey, I'm home!
It was a grand and glorious day for shooting. I shot the first stage clean, had two misses on the second (rifle, shotgun), three on the third (all revolver), two on the fourth ( again revolver), three on the fifth (2 revolver, one rifle) and a clean final stage.
Minny wanted to shoot herself, that's why I got the two rifle misses. She is beyond sweet, she is AWESOME. Had some problems with drawing the revolvers because I had crescent ejectors put on and they didn't fit my holsters anymore. I was pulling my rig up to my armpit trying to clear leather. I solved that at the lunch break because a leather vendor was there and had good holsters for me. An emergency purchase.
But, I can see you wanting to ask: Why didn't you use your other hand to hold your rig down, AnnieLee?
Because my other hand was also full of a revolver!
Please share my joy with me. Some CAS shooters wear sashes that mean different things. Black is for Soot Lords, Purple is for Gunfighters. Since the day I learned about CAS, I wanted that purple sash. I wanted to earn it. A few months ago, I purchased one and it's been hanging in my bedroom. As of today, I can start to wear it, for I shot all the revolver sequences with both hands filled, alternating shots. I got the sequences right and didn't earn a single P.
If you regular Tall Tales folk were here right now, I'd be breaking out the credit card and treating us all to dinner. Today I became a Gunfighter.
I am beyond a happy camper. I am beyond doing the Snoopy Dance.
I am... pleased. So, please, share my joy?

Ok since they don't really serve cyber-meals I came home and dug around the kitchen since I was tired. Found a loaf of whole wheat sourdough, and a ham steak, a real one with a bone, not "partical board" ham. Fried it, and spread some butter on the bread and toasted it in another skillet, both sides. ;D
Melted some sharp cheddar on the ham, put some Hellman's on the bread and ground a little fresh pepper on it. Put the ham on and just had plain ol' samwhiches fer supper. ;D Guess tommorow night I'll have to really make something! ;D
Does that mean I don't get the three meat BBQ combo of: Brisket, sausage and sausage and a side of chicken fried steak??

"Do you eat that much at home?"
John Wayne: "True Grit."
I had the seared then slow cooked steak, basted with butter and garlic.
Yum.
:D
AnnieLee
I did do that one time over an open fire Annie. When the corn cobs were very hot I seared a 24 oz sirloin the butcher in Talmage Nebrassky had whacked me off a hunk of cow that after noon. When it was seared I shoveled most of the coals away an put pats of real butter one it and cooked it slow. When it was done I just sat on the front porch of the cabin and ate it for supper. Not finger food, double hand food. Next to last day of deer season and I was the only one there, a mighty fine supper for a hungry hunter. :o
I should call mine the TriniDel (or Delnity) Steak, since Del told me how to cook it, and since the steak was dated Aug, 2003 when I pulled it out of the freezer tonight.

As a new owner of a utility trailer, here are the things I learned today.
1. a 1 7/8" hitch will not fit on a 2" ball. (Trip to the store #1)
2. a 3/4" inch shank is not meant for a 1" hole. (trip to the store #2)
3. Put the trailer on the ball before you load it with about a thousand pounds of sand. (At least I remembered to put the tarp down before I started shoveling)
4. Heavy duty jacks are a good thing to have handy.
5. Put bricks behind the wheels of the trailer before you jack it up.
6. The easist way to jack-knife a utility trailer is to put the truck in reverse.
7. The person may be born who can back a utility trailer down a narrow, winding, and fairly steep path, but that person isn't me.
8. 4 wheel drive trucks are gifts from God. So are wheelbarrows.
9. 20 3/4 shovels of sand in a wheel barrow is heavy when you are on a steep incline and heading down.
10. Those back rests things on a wheelbarrow can be used to brake the wheelbarrow as it starts to pull you down that same incline.
11. Cold Pepsi is also a gift from God.
12. So are hot showers.

As a new owner of a utility trailer, here are the things I learned today.
1. a 1 7/8" hitch will not fit on a 2" ball. (Trip to the store #1)
2. a 3/4" inch shank is not meant for a 1" hole. (trip to the store #2)
3. Put the trailer on the ball before you load it with about a thousand pounds of sand. (At least I remembered to put the tarp down before I started shoveling)
4. Heavy duty jacks are a good thing to have handy.
5. Put bricks behind the wheels of the trailer before you jack it up.
6. The easist way to jack-knife a utility trailer is to put the truck in reverse.
7. The person may be born who can back a utility trailer down a narrow, winding, and fairly steep path, but that person isn't me.
8. 4 wheel drive trucks are gifts from God. So are wheelbarrows.

Annie, methinks you need a good man in your life. ;D ;D
Why you could find one to think all kinds of jobs like that for you to do, as well as fetch him beer and sandwiches, wash his truck, and a lot of other good stuff. :P ::) :P ::) ;)
Trinity, I was working on my range. Hard work? Aye, it was, but call me strange, I enjoyed every minute of the "learning." If the weather is nice and my body permits, I may take tomorrow off and do it all over again, but without the learning curve.
<Looks at Forty Fonzai and pokes him> That's not my definition of a good man.

Forty: I drive a sedan. It's much easier to clean!! ;D ;D ;D Do I win the bid Miss Annie??
Ooooh, an on-property range! Now that is when a person knows that he or she has truly arrived. Forget the BMW or the Caddie... <<Whispers>>Are you going to build an old west town???

Heck no, I have sheds to build, a root cellar to dig, a raised bed garden to put in... Oh yeah, and one day, I really should get around to building a house! As ranges go, this one is small, but it should be enough for me, Will, and the occasional invitee. ;)

Trinty does not does not hire out his laundry, he has it sent on clipper ship to china to be cleaned, just like they did in the old days. :-X
Old Top
Annie I can run that trailer up yer lane no trouble, Mr. Fegason as I called him when Grandpa bought him when I was 3 (1949 Fergason TE 20 fer ya tractor lovers ;D) has balls............... on both ends. Yes the ball on the front bumper is another gift, but this one was built by my dad.
If I start yer way and run full out I can run 'bout 9 mph in 4th gear. How long will that take with gas stops, potty breaks and naps and meals. ;D Course brother can run 75 mph with it on the trailer. ;D Mr. Fergason like the wind blowin' though his grill at 75 mph. ;D Course one time we hauled a Big Wheel tied down with boomer chains on this 20 ft trailer with 12 ton plates. Little brother is as crazy as me. ;D

Yep, I did, and I did.
:D
AnnieLee
Boy when the moderator gets back and finds out all I posted while he was gone I'm gonna get in trouple, a couple a poops, a brassiere and that last crack, might as well say prophylaxis.
Morning, folks!
The coffee is fresh, the sun is shining and I am NOT traveling to DC to work today. I'll be working around here.
:D
AnnieLee
Scattered Thumbs, I saw you peeking in the window, are you gonna come in and say good morning, or not?
:-*
AnnieLee
Off course I'm gonna say Good Morning.
Good Morning! (http://www.frontierspot.org/images/smiles/icon_mrgreen.gif)
I have a lot of catching up to do here. I've not been around since Friday.
Well, Standard Pistol Regionals are over. I didn't do much training on this modality :-[
(I've concentrated my efforts in Centerfire Pistol). But apparently no one else did either ;D so I ended up in 6th place (http://www.frontierspot.org/images/smiles/icon_mrgreen.gif).
Now the bad news. I took my model 14 to check the trigger weight...And it didn't make the 3 pound minimum >:( So, today I'm taking off early to have a gunsmith look it up (it will need a stronger spring in the rebound slide). hopefully it will be allright for the match next Sunday. ::)
Congratulations, ST!!
Now that you have your coffee, I'll let you read while I make a quick run to the store for some milk for mine.
:D
AnnieLee
WOW! Ya'll have been chatty this weekend. I cooked brats and baked beans o'er the fire on Saturday for our noon picnic. Invited my father-in-law over for it. I spend too much time talking at the picnic table 'cause I sunburnt my arms. I loaded .45-70 BP loads for my Marlin 1895. Did some rapid fire testing with it. I will take the digital camera home tonight to take a pic of the target and post it tomorrow.

I haven't had Usinger's. Johnsonville's are OK. Brandon Meats have real good ones, but that is an hour drive. Also, Niemuth's in Waupaca has real good ones, but I don't get there often. I usually pick some up from Wally World.

Slim beat ya to it, Rusty. Klements is the one. I agree they're kinda bland compared to the Johnsonville's. You're probably right about the concession contract. I didn't get to go into the Leinie Lodge though. We did take the conducted tour of the stadium, even got to walk on the track on the third base side and the bull pen.

Slim beat ya to it, Rusty. Klements is the one. I agree they're kinda bland compared to the Johnsonville's. You're probably right about the concession contract. I didn't get to go into the Leinie Lodge though. We did take the conducted tour of the stadium, even got to walk on the track on the third base side and the bull pen. They opened the roof and closed it while we were there. Anybody got a cold Honeyweiss?.............Buck 8) ::) ;)
I ain't had a chance to get to the new stadium, as I moved out'a that Territory back in '81.
I do still get back ever so oft'n as my Mom, Brother, Mother-in-law, and a whole bunch of nieces and nephews still live back there.
Hope to arrange a trip next year to be able to hit the NRA Annual Meeting in Milwaukee.
All the Brats I can get, just have to keep my wife away from the Ambrosia Chocolate factory (too close to the convention center). ::) ::) ::) ::)

I've hired some people to take care of the lawn.
They are not nice people.
They are relatives on my mother's side of the family.
They are from Sicily and northern Italy.
They have no gene for conscience, none for mercy, and none for kindness.
They have a very active gene for family loyalty and duty to the family.
Other than that they are fairly likeable.
Visit...you may enjoy the company.

The trees I have in my backyard pretty much grow by themselves. But there are no pommegranates in the lot. (2 orange trees, 1 tangerine tree, 1 lemmon tree, 1 apple tree, and 1 prune tree)
Afterthought. Weather where I stand is similar to Southern California. Where I understand pommegranates are grown. Is the weather in Virginia anywhere near that?

That means that he lets 'em age before harvesting them. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Prunes are generally a smaller plum with less water than the big tasteless ones that are hybrid. The good ones often come in about late Sept or early OCT around here and are often called Italian Prune Plums.
Yes that is what they make dried prunes out of.
An English Plum Pudding used dried prunes, not fresh plubm, not easy to get at the time of Dickens , or rather fresh prunes at Christmas time. ;D
So Phhhhht, ST knows the language better than you do, Phhhhht. :D

Criminy, there you go, lecturing and saying the same thing I said! The plum trees used to make prunes are called prune trees. It's the same word in other languages.

It's more on the scale of "one of those random thoughts."
When it was announced that Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was Pope Benedict XVI, the thought ocurred to me:
Cardinal Ratzinger's family opposed the Nazis and paid for it, but he accomplished that which Hitler dreamed of doing: A German is now the most powerful man in the world.

Taking a break and drinking a Pepsi, here.
I got the approx 900 sq feet of landscaping fabric and all the associated weeds pulled out of the garden and dumped at the dump.
Just finished the first pass with the tiller in the garden. It went so smoothly I don't think I need to take a second pass, just need to rake it out, build my rows and plant it.
One of these days I'll learn how to make rows with the tiller....

What is "landscaping fabric"?
Landscaping fabric is black plastic with tiny holes in it. You put it down (supposedly) to keep weeds out of a garden. The holes allow water to get to the plants you want. So, you roll it out, then cover it up and voila! a weed free garden.
But not really. The weeds will happily grow on top of the mulch and through the fabric. Grass grows exceptionally well on top of landscaping fabric. Which is fine if you want to grow grass and not a vegetable garden.
Sadly, my desire was to grow veggies last year. Instead, I had a lawn even you would envy, Forty Fonzai. The grass took over everything.
So, there I was this morning, stilll with my desire for a veggie garden, but with grass on top of mulch on top of landscaping fabric. All of it had to be ripped out before I could get to the dirt to till it.
It's all gone. The ground has been tilled and raked smooth so it's ready to be hoed and planted.
One small glitch... it's raining.
AnnieLee
It's covered in chapter 12 of "Gardenin' Fer Yuppies." Best thing fer weeds and grass is a grubbin' hoe. Back when I was younger I tilled and planted a whole garden about 50'X50' with one. :o
All righty, Del, tell you what...
You drive three or more hours a day, put in 8.5 hours a day at work, do the laundry, clean house, cook once in a while, maybe eat, and still be able to keep my 30 x30 garden weed free with a hoe, and I'll hire you.
Four years ago, the ground of my now garden was a part of the woods. It was cleared, but was still full of rocks and roots.
If not for the landscaping fabric, I could have tilled and planted it this year with a hoe. I finally have the dirt in the condition where I could do it.
I chose not to.
AnnieLee
You got off lucky Del! I thought for shure we'd all be hearing "El Kabong!"
I was tryin', ;D ;D ;D ;D I don't garden any more cause the house I live in in in a strange soil area.
By the way, naw, no hat today, it was cloudy until it rained.

I'll have to go back and watch "Tombstone", Buck, it's been a few years and I missed the reference.

I dunno about the shredded beef. Is it the kind with the green pepper in it?
(http://www.frontierspot.org/images/smiles/yuck.gif)

Lacivious?!?!?
I thought you said LUSCIOUS!
I never seen it with green pepper. It's the kind they put in shredded beef tacos and burritos and the like. It has a different flavor.
Where's Del when you need him. Paging the cosie, paging the cosie! Annie, hint- Doc to Kate," You have no corset on, how lewd"........Buck 8) ::) ;)
SHREDDED BEEF TACOS
1 1/2 lb. chuck roast
1 onion, quartered
Cook chuck roast for 3 hours, by boiling with quartered onion, salt and water. Let meat cool then shred.
1/4 c. oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 clove minced garlic
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
Brown onion and garlic in 1/4 cup oil. Add meat and tomato sauce. Add a small amount of water to sauce can to get all sauce from can and add to mixture. Add garlic salt. Bring to a boil, simmer 10 to 15 minutes or to desired consistency.
Serve with shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes in large taco shells
:D
Annie(Google is my friend)Lee
First, I can't let a good reference go unnoticed. Four eye... I caught your reference ;) .
Second, my recipe for mexican shredded beef is much much much simpler! First you buy ground beef that is on sale because it expires the next day. Then you stick it in the freezer for an additional six or seven months. Next you take it out and defrost it and forget about it in the fridge until it has turned grey. Make sure it doesn't stink, dump in a packet of taco seasoning and brown.
Presto... authentic mexican shredded beef. Just make sure that you are close to a toilet for the following few days! ;D ;D ;D
Thank you, Trinity. This is the second time I've had to clarify myself this week. gettin' to be a habit. Maybe Del's rubbin' off on me...............Buck 8) ::) :o :o ;)

Morning!
How about some sweet tea, since it's nearly noon?
Thursday's forecast for today was 70% chance of severes thundershowers for the day.
The same was given yesterday.
The same was given this morning at 8.
Well, it's cloudy and warm and my garden's been planted!!!
Doing a sweaty Snoopy dance,
AnnieLee
P.S. The current forecast is for 70% chance of severe thundershowers for this afternoon and evening. Let 'er rip. My garden is planted!
:D
We had light frost and I had to turn on the furnace for a few minutes to take the chill off so Rita would get up. ;D
Morning folks!
Since I am so close to you, Miss Annie, I have been getting the same weather forcasts and have been laughing all this time too. I think it will happen today though. Something will. It's darker than normal and the humidity is high!
I just got up and made... well since I don't have coffee I made the only substitute that I could find. Hot Chocolate!!!!! (with a dash of Baileys -MMMM, MM!)
OOP... The oatmeal is probably ready by now... ;D ;D
Gloomy, rainy, windy here. SNOW tonight, as much as 8 inches for this area. AAAAaarrrrrrrrggggggg...............Buck 8) ::) :o >:(
Well, I picked out a place for the greenhouse, but haven't completely cleared it, yet. I think all it needs is a once-over with the brush cutter. I'm ready for it, though, with seven kitty litter boxes filled with dirt and the seeds planted.
And I just heard my first real crack of thunder. Whooohoo, let it storm!
:D
AnnieLee
On the way to work today I turned on the local news station and caught the last of the "Gardinin" Fer Dummys" Show, just before the news came on. ;D
They had some fella called in and his latest issue of Yuppy Gardens had said if'n ya take a bunch a glass jars and cove small delly-cate plants with them it's like a minny-ture green house. My thought was grandma would been surprised, not that you could use jars for that, but that ya had to buy a magazine or listen ta the ra-did-eo ta learn that. ;D ;D
Annie a just need a bunch a jars. ;D
Good grief, Del, we were doing that kinda stuff in elementary school!
I have stuff in the litter boxes to keep the bunnies out and give the plants a start before the greenhouse is up.
By the way, the spot for and path to the greenhouse has been cleared.
I'm tured.
AnnieLee
Well folks, my sister is good and celebrated! The old woman turns 46 tomorrow but we had a celebration today 'cause she wanted to spend the day with her new hubby!
You're "tured" Annie?? Might I ask what "Tured" is? Are you trying to say that you are "tarred"?
Man, some folks kan't spel!
;)
I'm going to slide by your jibe at my tired (and intentional) way of spelling tired, Trinity, to snap at the bigger bait you dangled....

OOPS! Sorry. I told you before that I am a very literal person. :-[ :-[ ;D :-[
Still smiling though because I just read for the first time your post from this morning. Hah! I made you blush!!!
LIBERAL?
You're a dang LIBERAL?
You ain't MY brother.
Nossir, Dad wouild've skinned you alive if he knew you was a LIBERAL!
I believe he said L-I-T-E-R-A-L, Forty..........Buck 8) ::) ;)
Don-choo worry none 'bout that, brother! I am no Liberal. Besides, if I were I would be over on some "Save the Wooly Worm" chat board. My handle would be "Fuzzy"!
Well, Fuzzy fits.
Sorry about the misunderstanding.
You best be careful, though, Bro...could get shot by your own family.
I am shocked that Trinity would acuse Miss ;D Annie of breakin' wind in the store. ;D And If you do have to and it's a grocery store go to the fresh seafood section, floks won't suspect you, they think the fish is spoilded. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Slim is gonna be upset we're talkin' 'bout flatulance again. ;D ;D But I had some folks from Wissconsion in the store this week-end we talked about Slim, I got all the dirt on that Rascal now. :o
<Whisper on: If Anniee figgers out the Miss ;DAnnie thing I'm dead. Whisper off.>
Why, flatulance is one of my fav-o-ryte topics to discuss. It's just so much fun!! Especially when there are people nearby or directly involved in the conversation who obviously are discomforted by the direction it's headed. They squirm around like a two year old who has to go to the bathroom. ;D ;D ;D
Oh... and I have appologized for accusing Miss Annie for breaking wind, but you of all people, Del, can surely agree with me that she left it wide open! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Del, I'm giving you a five second* head start while I reach for Elle.

*five seconds is the penalty for a miss.
I don't see a lot of use in restating the obvious.
However....

"I know where you can get a great steak."
"Oh? Where?"
"Just head on over to Nebraska," I hooked my thumb in a westerly direction, "they have excellent steaks there."
His eyes got bright at the idea, "Can you give me directions?" Then he paused, brows furrowing. "Isn't Nebraska in the midwest?"

Hey! I have French ancesters. I still have a French family name.
Some folks of the same name ended up in the States. The name was Americanized, and is now the name of a City in Nevada ::)
Yay!! You're back!
I have French ancestors too, and my married name is decidedly French. But when I am asked if it is French, I reply "No, it's West Virginian."

Forty Rod,
I think Troopers is my all time favorite Heinlein book, I would disagree with you on the bovine excretment but I do agree that some of his books are an easier read then others.
Old Top
I think my all time favourite Heinlein book was "The Puppet Masters." It is the only book that has actually frightened me. "The Exorcist" didn't even come close.
AnnieLee
Boy, talk about bouncing around! Hope you kids are having fun! Myself, I never got into Sci-Fi that deep. More of a history reader........Buck 8) ::) :o ;)
Science fiction is history that hasn't happened yet.
I couldn't finish Stranger In A Strange Land nor Methuselah's Children. Sixth column is okay, but not really very good.
Puppet Masters is scary, but the movie they made of it with Donald Sutherland was just plain stupid.
I remember the movie being awful, but don't remember Donald Sutherland being in it. Didn't he also star in the remake of the one with the Pod People?
AnnieLee
Not knowing much about sci-fi either, Trinity decides to talk about something he does know:

Nope. It's Reynaud, sounds like Reno. ;D

The Renault and Reynaud names have apparently the same origin which is Germanic :o.
And no I don't drive a Twingo. But I know a girl who drives one ;D

If you're talking of the mini-coopers of old, it's slightly larger (about one foot longer). Curiously it is quite roomy inside ;D

Come to think of it, I have no 1911 either (just a copy in 9mm). Hmmm! maybe I should worry ::)
Well, at least I have a gun in .45 ACP, and it's more recent than the 1911. ;D It's a 1917. ;D

Morning, folks! Someone left the coffee on the fire, so I am cleaning out the sludge. I'll get a new pot on in a few.
I had to go pick up the greenhouse kit yesterday. The delivery man called me at verk, wanting me to fax my signature so he could deliver it today. He said the box was about 4' x 1' x 1', then asked if I had a turn around point on the property because they were going to bring it in on a 60' trailer. :o :o
We went round and round on that for a bit, then I gave up and said I'd go get it. The box fit easily in the back seat of my car. <mumbles something about pudknockers and sixty foot trailers>
With all the steel pipes, the box weighed about 150 pounds, so I opened it up to remove the pieces when I got home. Of course, you know what happens when you do that, you want to see how the pieces are going to fit together. ( At least, I do! ) I was just messing around with it, tinkering, since the side of the box said it would take 4 hours to assemble it. Just familiarizing myself with the pieces, ya know. Well, 30 minutes later, the framing was done. Whooops!!
But...
I hadn't leveled out the land, so now I have the framing done, but have to go back and use a hoe to dig around until it's reasonably level. But it's very nice to know that a job I had scheduled a day to accomplish is going to take a LOT less time to complete!
While I've been rambling, the coffee got done.
Morning, folks!
:D

Last night was a bitch. I went to bed about 11:30 and started writing my next two chapters in my head. Finally got up at 3:00 and got on the computer for four hours, writing and rewriting.

What do ya 'spect fer a Yuppy Tea at Herb's house. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I am 'bout ready to revel that there were yuppies in the Old West, heck even billy the Kid had a Cardigan sweater, was he a yuppie or did he shoot a yuppie and steal his sweater? But any way if there were yuppies a yuppy tea would be perriod correct right? More research is in order, but I is studying perriod candy right now.
A person could get a real sugar high if they wanted. :o :o :o
It wasn't what I expected, Old Top.
Two years ago, they had a Colonial Tea, and along with showing us how ladies had teas and used tea services back then, they made an "herbal" flower arrangement and gave it away. It was in a glass room over looking the gardens.
Last year they moved to a closed in room in the middle of the gardens and the theme was Alice in Wonderland. The tea was in bags, but the servers were all dressed like Alice in Wonderland characters. Whoever had a queen of hearts on their seat took home a cut rose.
This year it was again in the closed room. I wish it had been a yuppy tea, for then we would have had linens, New Age music and real flowers.
AnnieLee
Morning y'all.

Hey kids ya want ta pull my finger? :o :o
I have the world's BEST dentist. She is gentle, does great work, and is PAINLESS.
One day I was sitting in her chair as she was working in my mouth. Her assistant was standing behind my left shoulder, sucking out the flotsom with that duck thingy. At one point, I noticed that the index finger of my dentist's right handed rubber glove wasn't seated all the way down, so some rubber was dangling off the tip of her finger. The dentist noticed it about the same time I did. She looked at her assistant, extended her index finger and said: "Pull my finger?"
All the dental work came to a halt as I nearly fell out of the chair, laughing. She looked at me like I was nuts, then what she said dawned on her. Her face turned a beet red, but she started laughing, too.
I have the world's BEST dentist.

Alas, it is not that big. I've got a pretty small one...

A random thought for Trinity:
Since the Trinity alias is taken for SASS, have you thought about getting the alias: "Nobody"?
:D
AnnieLee
Is it really? Dang! Well, as I have said before, this was only a temporary name. I do like "Nobody", however!!! How can one tell if a name is available or not?
A couple other names I have thought about:
Sartana
Sabata
Manco (a few Spaghetti Western savvy fans will recognize this and it may be taken)
The more I think about it, I think I like "Nobody" best!!!

Trinity is #2292.

And Trinity don't give up. I heard that an alias gets freed up after a year of non-use. Some of them old timers mighta quit.

On further thought... I spend my life explaining and pronouncing (then repronouncing, then again when they call their freinds over) my name. I need something that is E-A-S-Y!
Trinity was actually growing on me! Back to the drawing board.
I am almost certain that I am reading English, but I sure don't understand much of what I read. :D ;D :o ;D :D
It is easy! Niemand. Nee mond.
And when you shoot a clean stage and give that hand pump of victory, you can exclaim:
" I AM NIEMAND!"
And everyone will think you said:
" I am The MAN!"
Could go with "Non nessuno," but doesn't have the same ring to it.
Trinity Niemand? They'd allow that.

Purple coneflower, fact is I think I'll wear my bibshirt with the embroided Purple coneflowers on the bib to work tonight. ;D I can make fun of herbal yuppies and they don't even know it, but then they don't know what the flower is, ranch folks do though. ;D

Slim,
Echinacea purpurea, or root of the purple(blue) cone flower supposedly helps build the immune system to ward off colds and other nastiness.
I don't know what I had yesterday, but it wasn't in my head and it was nasty. But I still made it to my son's NJROTC award ceremony last night.
:D
AnnieLee
I knew that long before the Herbal Yuppies "dicovered" it. But then the Plains Indians knew that before there were Herbal Yuppies. But never call it "Purple Coneflower" they insist it ain't the same thing, even with a picture of the flower on the bottle. ;D
Howdy, y'all. I'z still home nursin' this cold. Y'all have a great weekend. See y'all later.
Slim
Cousin Slim!!
Glad to know you are out there, sorry to hear you are still under the weather. Hope you feel better soon.

Good morning!
The coffee is fresh, but there's no biscuits because my oven is kaput.
My dogs think they belong to Slim. The other day I neglected to latch the child safety lock on the fridge before I left. When I got home, all the cheese and butter had been eaten by the pups!

A stove is the thing on top of the oven with burners to cook or burn stuff!
:P

Can also be a chamber for heating items according to my dictionary, so an oven is a type of stove, also that piece on the 'jaust manny-fold of yer truck that has the tube running to the car-bore-atoer to warm the car-bore-ator in the winter is a stove. :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P
If you can shut the hood with out addin' a hood scoop, is that considered low carb. ;D ;D ;D :D :D :D ;) ;) ;)
If'n ya had an oven you could bake yer son cookies while he hammered yer nails. ;D ;D ;D
Annie the "Yuppie Tool Nun." ;D ;D Could make it into a TV shoow. Did you get duck tape? ;D ;D
Darling Delmonico with the yuppy fashion statement mismatched socks, I have enough duct tape to either hold up the Golden Gate Bridge or tape you up and shove you in a closet!
Yuppys may have a few power tools in their garage, but they rarely use them. They "hire it done." Don't want to muss their hair or break a carefully manicured fingernail, doncha know.
:D
AnnieLee
Oh yeah, and the truck bed also has about 1200 lbs of cement mix in it. That might be enough to hide the body of a mouthy cosie.
:P ::)
that thing'll nail coffins together right nice too, Annie! Just be careful with that thing, ya don't want any AD's........Buck 8) ::) ;)
If'n she does I could pull the nails out with my multi tool I keep in the nightstand drawers. Nice item a multi-tool. ;D ;D
Yep...weird.

Frozen Pizza is caused by slow delivery drivers in winter. ;D
T'ain't never done the cookies, have thought about it. Matt and I decided to wait till we can bring the stove with the oven, but we need a bigger truck and a good trailer if'n we're gonna haul that thing. ::) :o :o
Unfrozen from scratch pizza been done. ;D
Good morning!
To go with the coffee, today in AnnieLeeland we'll be serving pancakes and bacon. All cooked in cast iron. There's plenty to share!

Not only would ya have a bruise and a lump, but ya'd have burn with a possible logo mark to go with it! :o :o :o :o 8) ::) :-\

It's the oposite of "have not", which I am being right now. ;D ;D ;D
And I'm back. Four misses for the day, two on the first stage and two on the last. I saw those last two coming and didn't stop them. Ah, well, at least I am progressing as a Gunfighter.
It figures the two brothers Frick and Frack chimed in about behaving, neh?

Then I'd really have to stop flirting with you two.
:'(
AnnieLee, and what's a candy buckeye, Buck?
Chocolate with a peanut butter center. The peanut butter is exposed on one end and makes it look like a buckeye.....Buck( with four eyes) 8) ;) ;D
For those who would refer to me as "Mom":
Mom has her boots off (the boots are great, but after 12 hours inside them, most of them standing, the legs and feet get tired), and the fuzzy lambswool slippers on. A footrub would be wonderful and she'd compensate highly for one. She has no idea of what is for supper, but she is hungry. However, she knows better than to make a meal out of Buck's buckeyes, even though she'd like to munch a few.
And the fridge is empty.
Grrrr.
AnnieLee
Uh, oh! Were the doggies bad again? I'm a little far away for a foot rub. i've been known to do Susie's at times. Sometimes her shoes give her foot cramps, simple dress flats yet. She's had surgery on them for spurs........Buck 8) ::) ;)........The buckeyes are made locally by London's Candies..........Buck(again) 8)
A foot that spent 12 hours in a boot ain' gonna get rubbed by these hands!!!!

I learned my lesson long ago, when my sister threw my sneakers out on the front yard.
Pantyhose or nylons=stink foot
No socks= stink foot
White socks= no stink foot.
I wore thick white socks today.
So there. :P
<At least he didn't call me "mom", >

I want to know WHO in the world decided that microfiber (formerly known as polyester) would make a good fiber with which to make men's dress socks!!!!!!
I can top your stink foot story with an added dose of athlete's foot!
I just got the kitchen cleaned up, Rita was cleaning today and had car trouble, so she made me cook. She had two 2.5 pound rib-eye roasts thawed she made me cook for her. She is really mean to me. ;D
Why, you are treated like little more than a slave! The fact that you can keep your head high afterwards stands as a testament to your strenth. I feel for you pard!!

Okie...
Please give me a steak. .
If she gets a steak, I want one too!!!!!
We were at the store Thursday and she had the bank card, I wanted fish, she won't let me have any. And it was nice fish really fresh <gol-lum> I could tell by lookin' in the eyes, she don't like fish with eyes, even with wild rice and lemon wedges. >:(
I love fish! It can stare back at me, but I'm not going to eat the eyes or anything else in the head.
My late Grandmother used to eat the entire fish, including the bones. ...I think she might have even eaten the heads of some fish. I don't remember.
< In a strange and squeaky voice, she sings>
Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads,
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up, yum!
Morning, you odd people! The coffee is hot. I hope the day isn't going to be hot, since ... bwaa haa haa... I've got another match today!
AnnieLee
Just who are you calling odd!??
(Psst, Trinity. Mom used to call you odd, too. Remember? Don't fight it. Revel in it. I do. I'm proud that you're odd.) ;D ;D
Ya don't have to eat the whole head, but the cheek meat is the best part of the fish. ;D
Fergot, I got back from my trip to my daughers graduation a while a go. Decided I wanted to drive sumthin' besides Interstate, but we had to get back to Lincoln. (Wanted to take off north inta the Sandhills fer a few hours, but my wife had places to be. >:( Within 30 or so miles from the edge.)
Well I run from Shelton to Grand Island on US-30 (Lincoln Highway the first trans-Continental High-way) and the UP line that were first laid in 1867 were to my left. (Didn't see none of Forty-Rods relatives with their hand carts, we were on their trail also, plus the one the telly-graph took)
In front on the almost arrow straight road cars were goin' over the horizon in front and they were comin' over the horizon behind, 5-6 miles away. The Platte river was 3-4 miles south and the Oregon/California Trail had just come up to the Platte just south there.
Just hated to come home, my kind of country. ;D Just like a upside down bowl above and could see a lot of territory.
I know Annie is still shudderin' about flat open country, did some quick math and if my memory and figures are right in many places you can stand and turn around and see about a 150 square miles with out movin'. ;D

This is the town my daughters school is in. The large frarm building complex just NE of the town is her school. The straight line in the middle is US-30 and the UP main-line that was originally built in 1867 and connected to the CP in Utah in 1869.

I don't know how folks can handle all that FLAT!
You need to dig up half the state and pile it up on the other half so's you'd have at least one little mountain.
I lived for a time in northeast Arkansas. It was flat. It was flatter than a prepubescent gerl. Other than two cottonwoods planted in the yard, there were no trees.
I didn't shoot while I was there for I had the fear that if I missed the target there was nothing to stop the bullet until it reached Memphis, TN!
It was skeery.
Del and I talked about it a while back. Women left on the plains by themselves while their men were off "killin' stuff" or doing the things men do, often went mad or committed suicide.
I can relate to that.
AnnieLee, who's making lunch?
Just remembered one thing. Even though I don't live in flat country. I live by the seaside, so I have at least one flat horizon to look at. It's so flat that you can see that the world can't possibly be flat. :o ::) ;D

AnnieLee
But it's only flat a few miles on each side of the Platte river, that's why the Oregon/California/Utah trails ran up the valley. They ran the telly-graph, the UP the Lincoln Highway (US-30) and I-80 for the same reasons. The rest of the state is hilly, but the world thinks the whole state looks like i-80 as they pass throught the valley. ??? ::)
They had the fella from the tourism dept on the radio the other day, folks call and E-Mail and ask if they leave I-80 if they can get food and gasoline. ??? I would be tempted,to send back a message "No but you can get oats fer yer horse and just cut ya a steak off'a one of them cows and build a fire of chips. ;D ;D ;D
No mountians in the early teritory days we had the ones in Whyoming and we let them have them, just like Kansas they let Colorado have theirs. Mountians just attract yuppies who want to ski and back pack, do you know how much money it costs a state to rescue them when they get in trouble. ;D

We went on I 55 & I 40 on our way to Hot Springs Village 'fore we went to Council Bluffs. Yep 'tis flat and (economically) depressed area. Went right by the Remington munitions factory.
Slim
BTW, I had 2 of out 5 clean stages on Saturday. ;D
Slim
:D :D :D
Four out of six on Saturday. Had the death star on that first stage, and saw the two coming on the last stage, but didn't stop myself in time.
Sunday I had two out of five, but on one stage I was goofing off and laughing so much I couldn't hold the rifle steady at all and happily took three rifle misses. But my times are getting better, I am almost back to where I was when I shot Traditional. (Can't count the time on that death star, that is an aberration!)
AnnieLee
The problem though with the women going crazy though was more isolation. They might not see anyone but their family for weeks on end till the country got build up. That could also happen in the woods. When settlers moved into the Virgin forest they most often settled together for protection from the Indians.
When the western part of Nebraska was settled that really wasn't needed so the first ones in claimed what they thought looked best, most often along a creek with a few trees. These were few and far between so the nearest neighbors might be several miles away.
And I can't stand being in woods that I can't go to the edge of and look out of once in a while. :o
Back in '65 I spent 3 weeks crossing Nebraska one day.
I-80 wasn't done so US-30 I presume. If I hadn't been in any hurry yesterday afternoon I'd a took a different route home. Would a looked fer a small town cafe with pickups outside and went in fer supper. ;D
Through the use of a very high powered satellite, much more powerful than that which Del uses, I have obtained pictures of Miss Annie's new Greenhouse:
I thought it was bigger than that, Trinity...........Buck 8) ::) ;)
Look, Buck. The government even coded it: "Large walk in". That's it, I tell you!
Posh, thinking I have such a wimpy greenhouse!
Here's a pic from the catalog:
(http://www.northerntool.com/images/product/images/199019_lg.jpg)
But I've gotten the hint, I'll take some pics.
AnnieLee
...and here I go, tap into a highly sensitive satellite and I am lambasted! Boy! Shows you two things: 1: the government is not on top of things like they say they are and 2: Some folks is easily offended!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
do I hear a fry pan stirring????????Buck 8) ??? ::) ;)
Talking of frying pans. My better half made pancakes in our 12" cast iron skillet last night. ;D The Doc said her iron levels are low. :D

I wish my saddle-lite would take a better picure or I would have had a digital camera. This was the most pathetic tree row I've seen in years, it was between the Interstate and Shelton. Looked like the tornaders had got them many times like they were on one of the paths, might be why there were no houses near by.

Looks like they may have had some wind problems, Del.....Buck 8) :o ::)
Gosh, those are some scruffy looking trees. Looks like they belong in Tall Tales! :D
I'm a little surprised that neither Trinity nor Del have stomped a flag on them and claimed them as their own!
;D
AnnieLee
Considerin' that them trees have been hit hard several times I'm not gonna plant my flag any where the trees lean at a 10-15 degree angle to the North-East. :o :o :o :o I don't think it would be a good place for a trailer park either, them things tend sometimes to follow paths for years. ;D
Coffee's hot.

I made a BIG batch of scrambled eggs in me 12" cast iron skillet for supper yesterday. No eggs stuck to it. Clean up was quick and easy. ;D
Slim
Ain't it wonderful when they be seasoned right, best cookware in the world. ;D I made sourdough biscuits in one my 15" last night and sausage gravy in the 12 deep. 1 lb sausage and 2 cans of milk, so thick you could almost make a samwhich out of it. Gotaa talk to Mike over at the store though, had to add a bit of lard to fry his bulk country sausage. ;D He tolt me it was a good batch when I bought it yesterday. ;)
Just afore I signed off last night I looked at the radar, that tree row was gettin' hail, no vortex though. :o :o

<<<<<gone to get a snack back later
The fridge was stocked for the long weekend with plans on cooking out. It had a rack of pork ribs, steaks, and good ground beef.
Had.
While we were outside working, my wonderfully smart dogs figured out how to remove one end of the child proof latch of the fridge.
Luckily my son had to go inside the house for something and caught them as they wolfed down the steaks. The ribs were spared.
I love my dogs...
:D
AnnieLee (and yes they were very good steaks)
Annie,
It looks as if it is time for a hasp on the refrigerator, either that or quit bringing home things the dogs like.
Old Top
Old Top, I am starting to think my male dog is channeling the spirit of either Harry Houdini or some nameless locksmith. If I put a latch on that door, he'd probably find a way to STILL get in the fridge!
Yeah, I haveta laugh about it. Getting angry wouldn't help any.
By the way, the coffee is fresh for this pretty Sunday morning!
:D
AnnieLee
Sounds like they need a place of their own, Annie......Buck 8) ::) :o ;)
They do have a place of their own: My house!
;D
AnnieLee
Annie I would buy my old girl a steak if I could have her back...She passed on me in Feb. I don't think I'll ever have another dog
Annie,
I said a hasp because the next step is a padlock, then carry the key around your neck (sounds familure does it not), and do not leave the spare key in the house. Then the food should stay in the refirgerator.
Old Top
Besides the hotdogs, there ain' much in mah fridge they would like! ;D ;D ;D

Careful Miss Annie! Delmonico will pull the skillet out on you for calling that cheese. Heck, he'll probably pull the skillet out on me for even having processed cheese food slices in there!!! (Del., Slim: It's for the processed hot dogs, I promise!!!!! I normally eat only real and good stuff!)

I was just doing a web search, looking to refresh my information on Minamoto Yoritomo ( Minny, my '73 is named after him). And had an interesting find.
QuoteMinamoto's wife was Hojo Masako. After Yoritomo's death in 1199, Masako became a Buddhist Nun and along with her father Hojo Tokimasa and brother Hojo Yoshitoki, usurped all political and military power of the shogunate, relegating the position and title of Seii Taishogun, or shogun, to a mere figurehead.
After the murder of the shogun Sanetomo in 1219, Masako and Yoshitoki suppressed the Jokyu incident of 1221 and installed Kujo Yoritsune as a the fourth shogun in 1226. Controlling the puppet shogun and overall shogunate until her death, Masako became to be called the Ama Shogun or "Nun Shogun".
Dang. I am tempted to change my alias. I probably won't, because people associate Hojo with pancakes. But... Ama Shogun does have a ring to it, doesn't it??

I'm looking for a good German restaurant somewhere in my area.
Is there an on-line directory that's wort a d--n? The yellow pages are useless, regardless of which one I go to.

Old World German Restaurant
(714) 893-0112 7561 Center Ave
Huntington Beach, CA 92647
QuoteThis restaurant serves the best schnitzel in the county. Highly
recommend the apple streudel for desert. The charm is old world
and the service is outstanding.
QuoteThe Old World German Restaurant serves German, American, hamburgers and ribs, but the accent is very much on the German food. The ambiance is festive, with German treats such as the Sauerkraut and Pork Festival, which includes music, food, cooking contests, folk dancing and children's activities. Then there is the Oktoberfest, from mid-September through October, with German food, beer drinking, and yodeling contests. Sunday is family day with no charge for 12 and under.
Old World Village also has a Rathskellar.
I Google searched using the words "German restaurant Ontario CA"

The deli has three tables with two chairs each, and a menu that's mostly American. The meat and cheese counter is good for shopping for your own kitchen, and they have a few condiments and such, but I won't bother eating there.
I been going about this all wrong, and having my head in a dank, dark, stinky place doesn't help.
My partner for the last 10 1/2 years that I was in business is a GERMAN lady who knows every German eating place for 100 miles.

I'll call her Monday and get some good ideas.

AnnieLee
All three. ;D
Slim
Gads! < Laughing>
Ok, I'll tell it here, first.
It is one of those harebrained ideas like the one that had us flying to Newbrassky in February.
I decided I wanted a WartHog Gunfighter kilt. If anything defined "style" it would be that kilt. I also decided that I wanted a purple hat. A flambouyant purple hat. The first conversation was with Linda and Terry at the Fort. Linda agreed to send me pics of their purple hats. I got those yesterday, then called Terry to ask about details. We talked several times and finished it up this morning. TWO hats are on their way to me.
My family kilt came from Clansman Knitwear. I started at their website, flipping through the pics of their fabrics. It was a pain as the fabrics are listed by family name, not by colors. I left a "please help me" message on Ralph's machine at Clansman. Last night I finished looking at all the swatches. I didn't see ANY matches. But then I pulled up the pic of my family's tartan and compared it to the actual fabric. The color tones on the 'net were way off, so there was still hope. But I dreaded going to the Celtic festival this weekend and standing there for 2 hours, flipping through fabric swatches.
Ralph called me within minutes of my conversation with Terry this morning. He was perplexed, admitting that off the top of his head, he could not think of a purple on green. But he pondered it a moment.
Please try to imagine a very thick Scottish brogue, for there's no way I can duplicate it: "You know, over here, all the orders we get for kilts are for the family tartans. We don't get people asking for other types of fabric. But back in Scotland, they already have the family tartan, so they are looking for style. Here, ya might want to take a look at these, the montgomery modern, Pride of Scotland, Spirit of Scotland, they're the new fabrics and highly popular over there, while I get out me swatches." He was silent for a moment.
"No, Montgomery doesn't have the purple now, does it, an the pride of Scotland doesn't have the green. But... oh, look at this, look at the Spirit of Scotland, Annie. Noe that's style. And would you know, I've only had five orders for this color in the past year n I take 40 kilt orders a week? Noone you know will have a kilt like that one."
I looked, and there it was: Dark green background for WartHog, and a vivid purple stripe for Gunfighter.
Yep, that's styling.
I'll be at the Celtic Festival on Sunday to look at that fabric in person. If all goes well, I'll be ordering the first WartHog Gunfighter kilt.
It's been a GOOD morning.
:D

Dunno about the knees, though...

She used to have a plaque on her wall with the crest and a swatch of the tartan. But, I can't remember the exact coloring. I think it was a red background with green and yellow stripes. It might be this one.

You mean red hair is Scotish. ;D The kilt should cover most of my knees. ::)

Will dearly wants a kilt. I am putting him off until he finishes growing, but I may get him a Utilikilt this year. He has good coloring for it, too, the coppertop.
:D
AnnieLee
I can lay claim to kinship with the Taylors (BlackTaylor of the Battle-axe), Cameron of Lochiel, and Stuarts on one branch of the famiily tree; Clan MacNeil of Barras on another; and the Irish Kavanaugh (Cavannaugh) on yet another.
Tartans a-many I have to choose from, but I prefer the plain ould Taylor tartan, though I have worn Stuart hunting green on occassion, and becasue of my ancestor's service to the Macgregorrs, the use of their's, as well.
My sister's son married a Scottish lass, and wore MacNeil tartan kilts and plaid for the wedding.
My wife's mother's maiden name is Argyle and her father was a Purcell (and she has red hair).
I really prefer jeans and tee shirts for everyday wear.
Have you ever stood around, gabbing about nothing in particular, then have a guy come up and BOOM!! Lay out his background and credentials like a stack of Aces, so all you can do is stare in humbled honor for a moment?
That's how I feel about what Forty Fonzai just did. We've been trumped.
Dang.
:P :-*
AnnieLee, still gonna get that WartHog Gunfighter kilt, because it is so styling.
Check your own genealogy. You can do it, too.
Wait'll I lay out the Italian side and everyone can say "HUH?"
Bah! Seit die 1. Jahrhundert sind die Italiener nutzlos! ;D ;D ;D
I'M TELLIN' MOM!!!
Paternal Grandpop lived on a farm in Minnesota when he was a kid. His parents came from Germany but had some Irish slip in there. Paternal Grandmother's parents also came from Germany where they'd lived for generations.
Mom's Grandmother was 1/2 Blackfoot or Algonquin, but she never told and they didn't know for certain until after she was dead. Her dad was French/Canadian/Irish (in more Southern parts of the country he'd be called Cajun). Mom's Dad was known as the "Duke's Mixture" of Irish, Scotch, and Welsh, but no English, and a hodgepodge of other stuff including French.
Me? I'm ALL American.

Grumpy, dirty and sweaty. I am gone to bed.
Night folks, I'll be shooting tomorrow.
AnnieLee
Have fun!!! :'(
I always though it was pretty intimidating to hear a rapid series of four sharp clicks and a whispered "Surprise, A--hole" from the darkness behind you.
It was HOT. We shot through sweat. We grumbled, but didn't really care, we were shooting!
Will shot his rust off his mind and was doing good the last two stages, back in the swing of it.
I shot in a corset.
I had a total of two misses.
And I had three stages of under 60 seconds and one stage of under 50 seconds. ( That's a first for me. I had two stages like that, but got a miss on one of them.)
50 Seconds is a loooooooong time for a lot of folk, but I am a happy camper.
With a smile,
AnnieLee
Forty, my one friend from work used to be a repo agent for a store. He had to pick up a TV once. Guy came to the dooor with a 12ga SxS. My friend said it looked like two sewer pipes.......Buck 8) ::) :o ;)

I was expecting one of your family to make a remark about the corset. Yours was better.
:D
AnnieLee
I thought about it, but I didn't want to steal brother's thunder. ;D ;D ;D
Where'd my post about supper go?
Which post? Don't see one.
Well, crap!
That sure takes the fun out of it.
Anyhow....
Two boneless NY steaks about 1" thick, fresh ground pepper and just a touch of Adolph's. Kingsford's charcoal on my Char-Griller until they're just medium rare.
Big old Idaho spud whipped with butter and a tad of salt and pepper.
Mamma Bella's garlic bread (because it tastes great and I'm lazy.)
Ice cold Coke.
Fresh peach cobbler with whipped cream.
It's almost 2:00 am and I can't sleep, so here it is again.
That is very similar to the dinner we had Friday: inch thick steaks cooked over Kingsfords on our homemade brick BBQ. Salt, pepper, and rubbed-in garlic. Salad courtesy of the salad bar at the grocery store because I'm lazy, but mounds of it. It was GOOD.
:D
AnnieLee
Thanks all of you for keeping me employeed >>>(Beef it's for Dinner))
Good shooting Annie.....It was good Corset weather, My boss doesn't appeariate me wearing costumes to work though
Must finish coffee, wish I had some Donuts, and run. Have a horse to haul today and chores later Pards
I got a lot of comments on the corset, not because it was so pretty (which it was), but because of the heat. I wore it over an "underdress" cotton chemise with full sleeves. Folks thought I would be baking in the corset, but I wasn't. The cotton, though not gauzy, was light and cool on my shoulders and arms, while the corset gave excellent back support. Usually my back aches by the end of a match, but not yesterday!
With big thanks to Forty, I've found a new corset maker, so will be spending some more pennies in that direction.
Stay cool out there today, Litl Rooster!
:D

The only thing that I eat that grows out of the ground is grains, corn and fruit. I always say if it walks, crawls or slithers across the earth... it's edible. I haven't tried it all and there's no guarantee that I'll like it, but I will try it. If it grows
out of the earth... well, that's a different story. (http://www.cascity.com/sws/chat/images/smiley11.gif)
Folks need to understand something. Trinity thinks that if it walks, crawls or slithers across his refrigerator... it's edible.

At the loading table for the last stage, I looked down and saw a piece of brass trapped between the corset and the chemise. Sure am glad I was wearing the chemise!

Slim, the brass picker yelped when he picked up my rifle brass. It was about 94 degrees out there, plus the heat from my heathen smokeless. It's a good thing it was a good cotton chemise!
Old top, my mind simply refuses to go down that path. It starts to, balks, then spins back around.
:D
AnnieLee
What chemise?
Baby blue and white corset, red baggy swimming trunks with yellow trim, a full Sioux warbonnet, lace elbow length evening gloves, and dark green hip boots.
Wait until you see me in the Doo Da parade. I might be the only strraight guy there.

DOUGHNUTS!!!!!??
Coffee is on the warmer.....Headin' back to work. Vacation was to way short and nothing accomplished.
Was rushed and took two misses with the rifle on the first stage of the first day. ARGGGGGH!! I don't get rifle misses!
One miss on the first stage of the second day. That was it for misses for the match.
Didn't drop a firearm, didn't shoot over the berm, didn't sweep anyone...
And that's all I needed to do to bring home a plaque.
I learned that State Championshops are different than Regionals as far as tone and intensity. The "lower" tier shooters show up for the regionals for the fun and the shopping. State is mostly about the top tier.
Will brought home a certificate for winning junior long distance pistol caliber rifle. He did good, and brought home second place Young Gun. He kicked my rear and he wore his kilt.
:D
AnnieLee, it's good to be home.
Annie, them young'uns do tend to sneak up on ya. first stage jitters both days?..............Buck 8) ::) :o ;)
Howdy, Buck!
They had us shooting as two posses on each stage. One posse would shoot while the other did the chores. I was spotting at the beginning of the first stage and they hadn't announced the shooting order for our posse. They called out the names when the first posse was done and I was shooting fifth or something. I meandered to the cart to get my ammo when someone hollared: "ANNIE, YER FIRST UP!!" My reply was an intelligent: "Huh? I'm fifth!"
"No, you aren't, they changed the order! Yer up!"
And so everything from then on was a blur of rushing... including those two shots.
But it was the Manatee Mojo that got me.
AnnieLee
Way to go, Cuz.
Will's one to be proud of. Ya got any pics of his kilt.
I didn't get no plaque. One the last stage I had nine pistol misses. :-[ Dick Dastardly said they were dead-center but under the targets.
Slim
Somebody posted somer's that they had a few pics of Will in his kilt and said fer Annie to PM him her E-Mail and he'd ship'em to her........Buck 8) ::) ;)

Thanks for the coffee LIT
Morning, Tom and Litl Rooster!
I'm sorry you couldn't break away to come up to Damascus, Litl Rooster, it would've been great to meet you!
For us, the worst part of the match was the drive. I could take country roads to shoot at Pungo, but I had to drive the beltway to get to Damascus. 3.5 hours of white-knuckled, look out for the idiots who are trying to kill me, or sit in a parking lot of cars traveling at 6 mph. Driving home from Gettysburg Sunday evening took over four hours. It was ugly.
AnnieLee
Thanks fer the coffee, Tom.
Slim
Coffee is on.... don't have much time this morning.
Annie, yeah I was dissappointed also. Wasted time I set aside for the match. Sorry you drove the Belt way, suggest you try 29 to Warrenton, RT15 to Leesburg, then to North to Damascus next time. Even on busy days you can move pretty quick thru there. It easier for me to come thru Harpers Ferry.. Let me know where a Sunday match is I will try to catch up with you and Will there sometime.
Sounds like Will shot really good.
Thanks for tha coffee rooster! ;D
Thanks fer the coffee, Rooster.

Rummaging around the Kitchen, ah sure is quiet in here this morning and dark. I guess I'll get the coffee brewing. MSN sez it'll be another hot humid day here in Raggedass.

Forty Fonzai, I'll always be glad to talk to you. Should I put the dungarees on, first?
<Shamelessly referencing a post on another board>

lil rooster; we got cooler weather here, it's not 'sposed to go over 92-93. ;D
Morning, Cuz.
It's supposed to get to 75 with less humidity, today.

'Sup to you. You plan on slobberin' a lot? As in more than usual?
I shall endeavor to refrain from slobbering on you, Forty Fonzai.
< Yup, managed to keep a straight face while I typed that>
AnnieLee
Okay, you kept a straight face, but did you blush?
Nope, I don't blush about slobbering.
:D
AnnieLee, won't lie, but prolly won't tell when she does actually blush!
Morning folks, Coffee is ready. 'Magic writin box has been down a day or so, lost my picture files so will have to work on finding some new ones.'
I believe if Annie would quit slobbering the humidiy around here would get lower. Looks like a nice day, got lots to do. Horses, mowin', shootin', cookin', fininsh the shootin' buggy. Later.
A cold front was supposed to move through here Friday night, bringing thunderstorms, needed rain, and a break in the heat and humidity.
It didn't happen.
We got some showers yesterday morning, but all they've done is crank up the humidity.
It's rough out there today.
Taking a break in the air conditioning,
AnnieLee
By all means, take the time to cool down. Yes, the shed is important, but not so important to risk getting heat stroke or harming your health in other ways. Some time in the evening when it's not so oppressive would benefit you better, as long as you can avoid being carried away by the skeeters.............Buck 8) ::) ;)
Hey, y'all want to pick your brains a bit?
I have a navy/balck graniteware, white flecked coffee boiler, a 5 quart number, that I bought new about 25 years ago. I stuck it in thre garage a few years back because it was just too big for anything I needed.
Pulled it out tonight and the edge of the lid is seriously rusted...not to where it's eaten away, but definitely packing a lot of crusty rust well into the metal.
How do I get it off without damaging the enamel surface any more and without poisoning myself and my family and friends. Is it back underr the enamel already, and how do I kill it?
Does anyone still make these?
Thanks.
Does it have a brand name anywhere on it, Forty Rod? There might be a name and model number on the bottom of it if there's no identifier on the body. I'll hunt if you can get a brand.
As for the rust, I'd try very fine steel wool and olive oil on the metal, avoiding the enamel. Del might have better suggestions.
AnnieLee
I find no markings of any kind, inscribed, stamped, etched, nothing. I seem to recall a paper label when I got it and I think it was a white horrizontal diamond pattern with red and black lettering. If course, that was a LONNNNNG time ago and I can barely remember breakfast.
It has a wire bale with a black wood handle, which narrows it down to almost every one I ever saw.
Morning, folks! The coffee is hot and fresh and I might throw together some grub in a bit.
Dunno if you want me cooking for you though, I have a nasty cold that feels close to the flu.
Yuck.
AnnieLee
This is the wrong type weather to have that stuff, Annie.......Buck 8) ::) :o
You've got that right, Buck!
Didn't do much of anything yesterday. Around dusk I drove out to the hill to watch the fireworks. No crowds for me.
The coffee is on, you don't want me cooking for you.
Morning!
AnnieLee
Thanks fer the coffee, Cuz.
Spent Saturday butchering 10 hens, cleaning and disinfecting the coop, and put the pullets in the coop/pen. Sunday, went to church and vegged with the family. Yesterday, mowed the lawn and attacked the tag alders in the back 40 with the Bush Hog. I loaded pistol, shotgun, and .45-70 blanks. I shot them instead of fireworks. Lot less expensive.
Slim
Forget to tell ya this. My better-half and I watched Gettysburg. Friday night, July 1, we watched the first day, July 1, 1863. Saturday night, July 2, we watched the second day, July 2, 1863. Sunday night, July 3, we watched the third day, July 3, 1863.

Went to Atwood Lake late yesterday afternoon. took picnic stuff and fishing gear for the girls. Susie caught three, Sandy caught none. Watched the fireworks there. killed three birds with one stone that way, Susie's idea ::) ;D...........Buck 8) ;)
HELP!!!
I been looking all day (well, a couple of hours, anyway) for a local honey producer. ANY local honey producer within about fifteen or twenty miles, preferably closer.
The phone directory isn't worth spit anymorre.
Web searches turn up zip.
Calls to three grocery stores have been fruitless.
Any suggestions?
Try some calls to your local healthfood or vegan stores or to a food co-op. If anyone knows, they will. I get my local honey at craft fairs.
AnnieLee
Rod, try a local Apple orchard they usually know a Bee Keeper who produces Honey.
Looks like everyone survived another American birthday celebration.... got my gun buggy 98% finished and is useable if I can get time to go to a match. Then waited till the heat of the day ro do some practice shooting...Story and pictures at 11..Rifles and and shotgun did fine pistols not so bueno.
At the ranch we're starting at 5:30am and hittin' the pastures by 6. Gathering the breeding Bulls and bringing them home. Trying to get them gathered before it gets to hot, so not to wear down the horses to bad and before the Bulls get too stupidfied. (If that is possible)Got in 15 yesterday have 36 to go. 2200 to 2500 pounds of pure stupid on the hoof. had one get after Pea Eye and self yesterday when i gave Pea tap with the spurs he bucked some. :o He still feels like a 2 year old. ;D
You all have a safe day will catch up later this week.
Those are early and long days, Litl Rooster! Glad to hear Pea Eye is fiesty and responsive to you and it's going ok.
What a great way to watch Gettysburg, cousin Slim! Though I've seen Gods and Generals, I have yet to see Gettysburg.
I pretty much spent the day in bed yesterday and did some reading. But I think I've got the flu beaten back enough to go back to verk today.
Folks in grocery stores have asked me: Why are you insisting on local honey? Local honey is made from the pollen of local plants, many of which contain allergins to me. By using local honey, I build up my immune system to those allergins. It's old folklore, but it works, at least for me!
Feeling some better so the coffee is hot and fresh,
:D

"Gettysburg" was on two of our TV channels a few years ago (don't remember how many) and I taped it then. I bought "Gods and Generals" last year, and finally I found "The killer Angels" in my favorite bookstore some three months ago.
Waiting for that sequel to come out. ;D
I'm glad you're feeling better Annie Lee. Thanks for the coffee. :D
<Squeals like a gerl>
Scattered Thumbs!!!
What a pleasure to see you! You've been too scarce of late, I am glad you are around.

AnnieLee, who was supposed to be on her way out the door, but saw the post and had to reply...
Looks like other folks than me know about honey and allergies.
The place I used to buy my honey is now under about 300 new houses and I can't find him nor anyone else nearrby who have bees...........................
Damn!!!
Dumbdumbdumbdumb!!! Raahauge's has bees all over the place. They even put up signs so folks going there to shoot put their windows up.
Didn't anyone ever go to the old EOT and remember to remind me?

Yep. I've been told about using local honey for allergies, too. I have a honey farm 7 miles from my house, but haven't gone there. I need to get some honey and beeswax for boolit lube. No, I don't use honey for boolit lube. ::)

3 Bulls left,
Morning, Litl Rooster!
Aye, remnants of Cindy traveled through here last night brining much needed rain, but we got so much of it, most of it probably just ran off.
Meanwhile, I still have the remnants of my bug. Got a nasty cough going now. I can't shoot like this, it isn't safe.
:'(
AnnieLee
Yeah, those coughs don't help yer accuracy any........Buck 8) ::) :o
Afternoon y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee, Rooster.
Slim
Morning all>>>Coffee is hot (sure would like to try some of that Coffeee Delmonico was talkin' about) Going too get Mowing and chores done before the heat and humidity. Annie we got 4.5" of rain thurs, and .2" on friday here. Hope your kickin the bugs tail....Don't want to change your last name to Holiday.
I'd go easy with Del's coffee - 'member what it did to him :-\. We finally had near a inch a rain Friday, after 35 days with nary a drop - seen 102 on the old 'mometer a couple a days. Was gettin' a mite dry - horny toads an prickly pears was even startin' to shrivel up.
Morning, folks! Thanks for the coffee, Litl Rooster!
We got about 3" of rain from Cindy. My corn needs more, though, and some fertilizer. But the tomatoes look great and my son has plenty of hot peppers!
Keeping an eye on Dennis now as my brother lives in Mobile, and I am wondering why my darling niece who lives in southern Florida decided to get married in the middle of hurricane season.
Didn't trust myself to shoot so we went berry picking again. I think I have enough berries for my jam/jelly making for the year! :D
So, my contribution for breakfast is fresh sliced peaches and cream!
AnnieLee
MMMMmmmmm, tasty! There goes the cholesterol, though........Buck 8) ::) :o ;)

Okay, here's one I haven't seen before: can I grind the corners off of a cast iron bacon press? It doesn't quite fit my small skillet, but a half inch radius on each corner would cure the problem.
What say you all?

I'd get a bigger skillet. While we were out and about on Saturday, we stopped at the place where I got Elle. The guy must have hundreds of skillets in there, so if you need one of a particular size, I should be able to get one for ya.
AnnieLee, though the grinding probably won't hurt anything...
I already got several sizes of skillets, but this one is just right for me to make breakfast for me. My wife can't eat eggs (allergy) and bacon (salt) and I just want to cook up a couple of eggs and some bacon. Don't need or want a bigger pan.
Then go for it!
:D
AnnieLee
Cast iron grinds with no problems.
;D Seening what I may have to contend with and, seeing out the window that the rain has stop, I will wait till Mr. Scatter Thumbs, SIR, isn't on guard ;D Looks like Trop storm Dennis is headin' Delmonico's way.
I won't be much worse than a wet phart if it gets here. ;D
It's already a mere shadow of it's former self. We probably won't get a drop..........Buck 8) ::) ;)

Thank you, Slim.
I talked to the nurse at the Dr's office today. Seems there is a bug going around these parts. She said I could come in and get a script for cough medicine with codiene, or just try to get more rest. Since I can't take codiene, I am opting for the rest.
At home,

I got a cold this spring. It took me about a month to get rid of the cough. :(
Slim
Ok Russ I confess, I forgot the 't. ;D ;D ;D ;D I was in a hurry, they already had called close and I was shuttin' down. ;D ;D
Slim I'm skippin' the coffee this mornin', I'm having Gatorade. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ;)
Low electro lites, Del?.........Buck 8) 8) ::) ;)
How much does electro weigh normally? What constitutes electro lite? Is it also Polly Unsaturated? (Ain't that a great alias?)
Good one, Forty. 8) ;)
So Forty, does this mean we should start calling you Polly ???
Annie please get better, and keep your bugs to yourself
I didn't drink coffee cause I didn't think it would stay down. I'm tryin' don't to dehydrate and go off balance on the electro-lites. I'd rather drink them then have the hook a bottle of such junk up to my arm. :P
Too many wet pharts, Del?
;D ;D ;D ;D
How come this is supposed to be about coffee and grub and we ended up talking about sickness and farts? ::) ::)
Sure takes the pleasure off a fresh cup YOU PREVERTS!!! ;D ;D :D
Jeez Louise.
Such is the nature of Tall Tales.
It'll drift back.
Eventually.

Ah, so Forty is a pre-vert while everyone else is a pervert. Does that mean he was weird before everyone else was?

Anyway, the coffee is ready and the gatorade is cold for the person who should be in Omaha.

All in time dear folks, it won't do no good to go till they get everything hashed out, I have learn patience in these matters. ::) Sides that if I left right now, the east bound lane of I-80 is closed because of an accident and will be most the rest the day. I'd have to take my long route that uses a country road that winds along the north side of the Platte River. ;D
Might take several days to get there, huh...........Buck 8) ::) :-\
Naw just adds about 45 minutes.
Morning all.....Coffee is on biscits in the oven, help your selfs.
I love driving I80 west thru Nebrassky,lots to do. Stop and visit with Claire, stop at Platte Valley Saddlery and of course CABELAS. ;D ;D ;D If your relly bored ya can count the cows
Last time I went west on it there was a Beefalo just west of GI. ;D
They still doin' those, Del? Haven't heard much on those lately.....Buck 8) ::) ;)
The only one I've seen in years, it was in a small feed lot. A big OOOOOOPS maybe? ::)
Buffy bull was out on the town, and found himself a willing cow......Buck 8) ::) :P ;)
Never cared for Beefalo...Longhorn and Herefords are my type...We keep angus for breeding and everyother to send to you folks in Nebrassky to feed.
Morning folks! ;D
Service Pistol Regionals this Sunday.
It ain't Cowboy. But I love my Luger. ;D

Alas and alack, here I sit on the 7th floor. A storm is wreaking havok on the traffic below. That's the good news.

Bingo! Give the lady a big ceegar. Er...nevermind that. ;D
Nope I ain't Dali. I think that both my family names you already know.
If I know, I ain't saying. And I'll take a hug instead of that ceegar.

Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot. He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Robin. He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways, brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin. He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp, or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken. To have his kneecap split, and his body burned away, and his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin. His head smashed in and heart cut out, and his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged, and his nostrils raped and his bottom burned ...
Oh lands, I've gotten myself around a single sip of coffee and I see text from the "Holy Grail"??

Brave Sir Robin ran away, bravely ran away away. When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and valiantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by brave Sir Robin.

HEY!! Slim!! Write to Fred Upton, a House Rep from Michigan!!
They want to mess with daylight savings time, extending it past Halloween.
"Upton noted that the extension means daylight-saving time will continue through Halloween, adding to safety. "Kids across the nation will soon rejoice," said Upton, because they'll have another hour of daylight trick-or-treating. "
When I was a kid, NONE of us went trick or treating during daylight hours and we loved that daylight savings time ended right before Halloween, so it got dark earlier and we could head out!

I have no idea why we change time anyway? ???
Slim
I don't know either. No matter how we set our clocks, we have the same amount of daylight.
???
AnnieLee
I'm not much of a "farm" person. I wake by the clock. If the clock says six, I hit snooze and wait another half hour ::). I go to bed by the clock too... sometimes too late, thanks to you folks!!! >:(
Basically what I'm saying is, yeah, there's the same amoung of sunlight in the day. But to those who live by the clock, a clock that is regulated by daylight saving time makes for a longer day.
(http://razyr.com/smileys/2cents.gif)
I wake up it's dark I go to bed it's dark... the light just helps me see better. To do more work
DST goes back to WW II, gave the farmers and others who did their work by the amont of daylight they had longer to do their jobs as part of the war effort.........Buck 8) ::) ;)

The weed whacker is in the shop. It has a fuel problem, they think water is in the gas. I got a new spark plug for the mower and got it to start then quit for a while because of the heat of the day... and now it won't start. My rototiller won't start and I needed that to get rid of the grass in the garden.
Hmmm... all three of them had gas from the same container.....

Snatching the cup of coffee away from Trinty...it's for your own good.
Annie get a pint of dry gas. and put some in your gas can. If it is a metal can replace it with poly. They don't condensate as bad. Put some dry gas in all your tanks when they are going to sit a spell. Preventive ;D I got my yard mowed around noon. Then ran theweedeater Roundup around the edges. There good now for a month or so. Tring to make sure my wheels stay on my buggy for next match...What do you all think super glue or duct tape ???
Litl Rooster, what is a pint of "dry gas"?
Is there anything I can do to get my lawn mower and tiller to start? ( other than taking apart the fuel lines and carburetor, that is)
AnnieLee, frustrated.
Annie, I emailed you on this
Got it, thanks, Litl Rooster!
AnnieLee
I got gas from a container of pinto beans one time. :-[
Don't take much to give me gas either, Capn'. Annie may have condensation in the gas can, or if there's more than one can, like one fer a two stroke( gas&oil mix), she may have put that in instead. Only other thing I can think of is vapor lock from the heat.......Buck 8) ::) :-\ :o

I met Litl Rooster at today's match. I gave him the roll of paper towels Del asked me to give him. He was wonderful, as was his wife. (She'll be shooting soon! :D )
I shot slow.
I shot meticulously.
I shot a bonus with my off hand. :D
I shot a clean match! ;D

DUCK!!!!!!!!
Didn't know which one you meant, so I'm under the computer desk hollerin' "duck", "duck", strippin' off duck tape, and quackin' like there's no tomorrow. Tell me when the coast is clear.
Looks like I got home in time. You dummies start lighting farts and sure as God made little green apples, you'd burn the house down!
Trinity, have you thought of using those stones to build a wall or outdoor fireplace?
Annie, can you post my new stock inlay for the folks to drool over? Thanks. (I gotta take a class and learn how to do that.)
Welcome back Bro! Your sunny disposition was sorely missed as you have no doubt detected! ;D ;D ;D
Cap, I think it's safe, but no guarantees are made. She's a woman. You could just be hit next month or even later for that comment! ;D ;D ;D ;D
I think Capt. Hamp knows women better than you think he does, Trinity! He knows that a happy woman will laugh at a comment like that instead of reaching for her skillet!
:D
Will do, Forty Rod. I'll put it on "your" thread.
And welcome home.

Morning folks!
Coffee's hot!
Congratulations on the clean match Annie. :D

Congrats on the clean Gunfrighter match, Cuz.
Welcome back, Forty.

Thank you, Miss Annie. You done good. Ain't that a sweet looking inlay?
Coffee an' grub!
Friday night my son, his wife, and my grrandson took us to Gallagher's Steakhouse in NewYork New York, where my son is in charge of gueat room accomodations.
Sit back, close your eyes, and let yourr imaginations fill in the gaps.
The best Italian bread I ever ate, with butter so rich it was sinful..
A platter of iced crab legs, huge shrimp, and oysters. Lemon, shrimp cocktail sauce, and hot sauce on the side.
A platter of wonderful crab cakes.
A platter of calimari in a red Italian sauce.
A platter of beefsteak tomatoes, pickled asparagas, and caesar salad.
A one pound filet mignon (for three of us) a whole butterflied chicken (for my daughter-in-law) and thin sliced butter-tender prime rib and hand cut fries (for the boy).
A huge skillet of sauteed mushrooms.
A bowl of the best mashed potatoes on earth with garlic butter.
A platter with a dark chocolate T-bone, light chocolate 'pork' chop, raspberry pudding, and ice cream for dessert.
Must have cost $300+ for the whole thing.
Chef Luigi Guigo really outdid himself (and every other chef I've come across) for my son. They are great friends. Chef tries out a lot of new dishes on Matt. Matt has gained 950 pounds since starting there.
The highlight of the trip.
I ate way too much food.
BURP!

Annie, in all honesty I'm glad I went ONCE...for Shawna and the kids. Matt and Angela wanted to do something nice for us, to show us their world.
I never have to go again.
I passed on Rita Rudnerr's show because I have not one single thing in common with a diminuitive squeeky Jewish New Yorker. I don't like auditoriums. Shawna got me as far as picking up the tickets (third row, center) and I took one look at the line, kissed her on the cheek, told her to enjoy herself, and went back to the room.
That entire life style is as foreign to me as the dark side of the moon. If you don't gamble or go to the shows you have an option of 25 Elvis museums or sitting in your room watching the same TV show I can get at home.
The background 'growl' in the casinos is PAINFUL. I had a headache most of the weekend.
Suspended grumpiness has its downside.
somebody please post all of Forty's threads from last thurs and fri....He was madder than hell about going. Forty I gained 12 pounds reading what you ate. Glad you finally decided to enjoy it.
Trinty it's the paper towels Delmonico had Annie Lee bring me but I guess if the Sears Roebuck cataloge is missing in the blue room they would work. They now sit next to the magic ritin' box so when you and Forty make me spit my coffee all over the place. ;D
Why would we do somethin' like that?? ;D ;D ;D
Out of pure ornryness.............Buck 8) ;)
Nawwww! 40 Rod maybe, but not meeee! ;D ;D
I ain't ornery.
I'm GRUMPY!!!
Dang, can't you people get nothin' right?
You was so cheery when you got back, we wanted to test you to make sure you was you.
You passed.

Mebbe a little, but you don't have to wear one of those silly skirts or shake pompoms.
Whew. Ok.

YAY, Trinity!! He passed a stone or something!!

Thank you!!

AnnieLee, who mowed a little in the dark, just because she could.
Annie, I gots a yard that needs cut( hint, hint)......Buck 8) ::) :o ;)
Buck, I have over two acres to mow with the push mower, then the string trimming, then weeding the garden by tilling it.
Wanna trade??

AnnieLee
Uh, no. I got a little pie shaped postage stamp that I do with one of them battery powered light weights. Takes about 25 minutes minus the trimming. The trimmings the pain.........Buck 8) ::) :o
Dern. It was worth a shot.

I must be getting old I bought a rider last year.. However I mow up along the road amd stuff I don't even need to do...I refuse to run a weed eater...I am saying my hearing for the percussion of 45 rounds ;D

Peaches!? :o Oh boy! :) One of my favorite fruits. ;D Thanks Litl Rooster ;D
And a good morning to you. :D

I've got half the driveway treated with Roundup. The other half will get it this weekend.
Morning, folks!

AnnieLee
Thanks fer the coffee, litl rooster.
I haven't mowed the lawn in over two weeks 'cuz of the drought, but since it rained it is growin' agin. I'll have to mow it on Saturday if it ain't rainin'. I mow about 3 acres of lawn plus the lane between the fields outback which is about 60 acres long.

Think this whole crew is degeneratin' into a bunch of all-season Mr. Hankeys :D ;D.
The word stool was originally used to describe the seat one sat on to (Slim's favorite word, hereafter referred to as "SFW" ). So, the expression was that they were "going to stool." By the end of the 16th century, the word stool was used to mean the same thing as SFW.
I am aware that this is where coffee and (particularly) grub ends up, but really folks. I'm trying to eat breakfast.

It's that eeeeeextra long drop cord that she has running over to the neighbor's house. ;)
She's got a treadmill, two dogs, and a pork chop.
It's called a batterie back up, I don't think she was still at verk.........Buck 8) ::) ;)
< Just looks at the speculators, shakes her head and laughs>
While I am considering learning how to make beer, I discovered I am nearly out of my soap. While glycerin soap is incredibly easy to make, I still like to make lye soap. They call it "cold process" soap now because the word "lye" scares people. When I made it before, I got it from a place that sold bar soap at craft shows. They'd sell kits as novelties, but discontinued the kits about two years ago. I ordered two kits that year, made the soap, gave some of it away and used the rest.
And now I am on my last bar. I really didn't want to get into the pain/mess/involvement of buying the ingrediants, measuring stuff out and dabbling with recipes... I wanted a KIT dangit!
I went on a web search and found a place that had kits. Each kit made around 40 bars of soap and included in the kit were enough molds for about 12 bars. Huh? That didn't make sense, so I called them. What that place did was sell the customer the supplies, molds, and a book of recipes. The kit had enough supplies for several batches. Would still have to measure and mess with recipes. I didn't want that, I wanted one kit for ONE BATCH, Dang it!!
Frustrated, I called the original company in hopes that they might know someone who sold individual batch kits. To my relief and delight, they still had kits in stock. I now have three kits of lavender and three kits of almond soap on their way to me.
Soap, anyone?
:D
AnnieLee, still thinking about the beer thing.
Gas generator! Can also be used to power tools at isolated job sites......Buck 8) ::) ;)
Nope, no gas generator, not yet. That's a big part of my push to build the shed; right now, I have no place to store a generator. Once the shed is waterproofed and I can secure it, though, the generator will be at the top of my list.
Good thought, but no ceegar!
:D
AnnieLee
Guess we're back to the two dogs and a pork chop........Buck 8) ::) ;)
COFFEE'S UP!

Well, Vincent, it's like this,
A few years ago, I needed a ride to the airport after a business trip in France. The work was done, but I wasn't leaving until the next day. I got a ride from some peers, who said they'd be touring the area then getting a hotel room near the airport. I happily went with them. We meandered all over the countryside, stopping at little towns. At the third town I realized that each place where we stopped there was a sanitarium where M. Van Gogh had spent time. I was being taken on the "Vincent was a Nut Case Tour!"
To top it off, I spent that weekend in Paris and went to the Musee D'Orsay, one of my all time favourite museums. There, on that weekend, they had a special exhibition of Van Gogh works. It meshed with the rest of my trip beautifully!
:D
AnnieLee
I'm not a nut case........I think ::)
But then again, I've been wrong before. ;D

Dang. I'll be long gone by then.
A 12 o'clock hold and some windage to account for the earth's rotation and the hurricanes and a really heavy charge of FFFg...naw. I'm still pretty safe.
Well, safe anyway...never was all the pretty.
I see the 1 eared guy who cause me to change my college major is now on the bus....I sure miss that guy in the fish slicker
I mowed a little before coming in. The grass and weeds are still kinda wet, but it needs to be done.
AnnieLee
Radar looked like there was still some stuff going on there, Annie. Must not have been in your part of the state. N. Carolina looked like it was pretty busy though.........Buck 8) ::) ;)

Coffee is hot< hardly a sprinkle here just clouds..Will do my chores today
Had an inch and a quarter yesterday evening. Lost power for about an hour - heck of a lightening storm. Really needed the precip.
Morning, folks!
Gosh, my tomatoes sure are showing the results of irregular rain. A lot of them are misshapen and a bunch of them split. Arrrgh!! But I still have plenty of them. It's thundering now, looks like the grass/weeds are gonna keep on growing.
:(
AnnieLee
Trinity quit yer whinin', I got hit by a micro downburst before I even got home from the hospital Monday. I came out of a nasty wall cloud when we came out of the grocery store/phamacy and broke branches 6 inches thick and rained 4 inches right in my neighbor hood. It was so back Buck seen it on the weather channel. ;D ;D
>:( I'm whinin' because I'm sittin' here being radiated by this box instead of outdoors in a hammock.
Well, who's fault is that?........Buck 8) ::) :-\ ::) ;)
you need one of dem coil oil burning portable magic ritin' boxes ;D
Oh..... Triniteeeeeeeeeeeee.....
It thundered but didn't rain. I got most of the weeds mowed. The string trimmer is still in the shop so the edges are still wooly. The mower is going in the shop tomorrow, I really should not have to pull it 50 times or more to get it to run. Some of the garden's been tilled, I was able to get the tiller running.
Took a walk around the place... the hammock is there, in fine shape, and... empty.
;)
AnnieLee
;D ;D ;D Annie you and Trinty aren't using them Hammocks maybe you should list them in non-CAS barn sale
Litl Rooster, if the forecast hadn't been so bad and calling for rain and storms, Trinity would've been in my hammock today, and you, Montana, Trinity, and me would have been shooting paper and watermelons at my place tomorrow! Didn't send you the invite because the forecast was so ugly. Gonna try again this fall.
:'(
AnnieLee
>:( >:(
Maw invited me up to tha house fer dinner, though. So it weren't a total loss. The meal were good, 'cept Ah had ta watch her eat squarsh! :P
It's rainin' now, so Ah feel better. Even if it ain' rainin' there, Ah kin thank it is! (http://webpages.charter.net/connectingzone/happy/20.gif)
Where is all this rain did they put a fence up below the county line here? It's been cloudy I've seen lightening but no rain. Rain in Prince William Warren Clark counties Culpepper, Raggedass keeps getting missed. We surely could use some. Got my mowing and other chores done, built a new frame to shoot our pistolas at, yesterday. Will makes some loud noises later today....I love shooting fruit ;D I tape the shooting shows on OLN was watchn' em shoot cabbage yesterday, coleslaw everywhere. ;D ;D I guess this fall would be good also.
Coffee is on >>>Montana made up a batch of the cinamon raisin buttermilk muffins they're good help yourselves
I slept in. It was wonderful! Thanks for the coffee and muffins, Litl Rooster!
I think I might spend some time working on the shed today, then go in the woods and shoot for a while.
:D
AnnieLee
>:(
Just to make you feel better, Trinity, a little while ago I opened the fridge and discovered something in there had reached "critical stench" level. I've been cleaning it ever since. Vegetables should NOT liquify!
But when I am done, it'll be safe for even Del to come for a visit!

You know what I hate? I hate typing a long reply and then having this dang site tell me that someone else posted and I may want to check mine before posting and having the damn thing disappear.
I hate to tell you this... normally it doesn't disappear. It is still there. The message is only to let you know in case you need to change your post. You just need to scroll down to see your message.
If it is indeed not there, then I suggest highlighting the test and copying (CTRL & C or right-click). I'm having a problem now where I get an error message every time I try to post, but my message is still there and when I press "post" again it works.
That's all Slim's fault. ;D

Yeah, yeah, I know. I can hear all you grumpy and surly folks saying "SO WHAT?"
Well, I've been trying to grow potatoes for five years. Every year I've gotten nada, nothing, doodly squat. But this year they actually grew, spread, bloomed, and slowly died back.

Breathe, Slim, breathe! That baby watch stuff is stressful. We had a situation last night with my oldest granddaughter. She's been staying the last few days and went fishing last evening with Sandy. She went to use the " facility" and something bit her while in there. Allergic reaction!
Sandy brought her home and fell apart, we got a Benedryl down her and called her parents. Mom came down and they took her to the children's ER. Guess the Benedryl was a smart idea, they didn't have too much of a problem there. She's back here now with a scrip for some more powerful Benedryl and a steroid type stuff for itching if needed. She's still a little puffy around her eyes, but feels better today. Her and gramma are down at the pool now......Buck 8) ::) :o :o ;)
We's got about a month till the step-daughter is due, we figger Rita and I will have surgery about that time to make life interesting. Going to get the baby quilt tied tonight.
BTW: I went to the Doc in Omaha today, had 3 Doctors. and 2 medical students in on it. Yep they don't know what to do with me yet, gotta try some medication and see another Doctor here in Lincoln. Phoooooy, I'm tired of being sick. :P
I thought Slim's baby was due around the time of the GAF Muster, but I don't remember when that will be and can't find it on the GAF page on TFS.
AnnieLee
It's the last weekend in Oct and that's too long a time, I was thinking and I think I'm right, it was about a month before my step-daughter is due, so this should be right.
I didn't know Slim was pregnant......If he needs help I have delievered thousands...Where did I leave my calf jack?

One of the high points of my year so far was the distinct pleasure of meeting Cousin Slim, his wife, and four wonderful daughters at the NCOWS convention in February. It was one of those things where I knew him as soon as I saw him. My son was with me for the trip. There was lots to see and do, and we had a great time. We got to meet a bunch of great pards, including Del, Gopher Grease, Terry Lane, the folks from the Fort, St. George, oh gads, I can't remember all the names, and don't mean to slight anyone, but that's not my point. The Slim family had been on the road for a week, but they weren't grumpy and frazzled, snapping at each other like most large families would be. The girls were a delight, so proud and so derned cute in their boots and dresses!
My son is a pretty typical 15 year old. He does goober stuff, likes TV and video games, is messy and sometimes a royal pain in the neck whom I love dearly.
On the way home, I asked him what his favourite part of the weekend was. Without hesitating he said: "Getting to know Slim, Mrs. Slim and the Slimettes!" That's pretty impressive, coming from a teenaged boy.
But that's how they are. They are warm, kind, friendly, funny, and wonderful. They were a joy to be around and I love them. There are cousins of blood and cousins of the heart. Slim and his family are cousins of my heart, and I couldn't be happier about the birth of their son.
Making joyful sounds,
AnnieLee
Mighty fine, mighty fine. Gongratulations to all the participants.
Dang, if he entered this world weighin' 9 lbs 11.5 oz. and is 22" long, bet he's already got a start on a little red beard, and gonna be datin' in six months. ;D
Aye, that's a BIG baby! If Mrs. Slim had him by natural childbirth, I'd bet she'll be walking around like John Wayne for a while. :D
Maybe instead of flowers, I should send warm packs and ice packs?
:D

Feel free to send some steaks this way if you're sendin' them out! ;D ;D ;D
Again, congrats pard on the birth of your new son!!
How bout some grey steaks, by snail mail. :P
I got a note from Slim last night. It was a brief one and he sounded very tired. But he also sounded happy. :D
Morning, it's Friday and the coffee is a LOT fresher than the steaks in Trinity's fridge!
:D
AnnieLee
He just likes his well aged...........Buck 8) :o :o :o ::)
I'm content with ME being well aged.
Coffee for lunch and gotta run...checking to see if any picks of the Slim Jr. yet.
Morning all....Coffee is Hot.. got up late must run here soon. Annie did you get any rain yesterday?
Morning, Litl Rooster! Thanks for the coffee!
Not a lot of rain, but Buck sent us one heckuva storm! Lost power around 9, it came back on around 1:30. By then I was long in bed. Today I'll be driving by you on my way to go pick up Will from camp. It's gonna be a very long day, but it'll be great to see the boy.
:D
AnnieLee
Morning folks.
Thanks for the coffee Litl Rooster. ;D
Rain!? Ya got rain? Temps here are ranging from 90 to 100. It's dry as a bone. And the center of the Country has been on fire for the last 3 days. :(
Round here we burn Flory-da or Cally-forn-ia, most likey one a them is burnin' right now, the sunset was kinda red last night. :o

<<Ok, ok, I know. The small jokes are overdone. 8) 8)>>
They did have a little punch to them, Annie. My insurance agent's power was out yesterday before i called him to discuss my latest foray into collision repair. His 'puters still weren't working when I called. On my way to the liscense bureau, I noticed a younger tree with the upper half busted off. Don't know if lightning took it out or not........Buck 8) ::) :D
No rain here to speak of...Lots of physics but no amount of moisture. We haven't had any fires around here yet but it's the beginning of fire season. Use to pack supplies to the firefighters, smoke jumpers in the Bitterroots for a Outfitter I worked with. Dangerous work, not sure I could hold up these days to it. The firefighting part of it.
Annie glad you got your boy home. As I right this the rain is letting loose. Metal roof, it probably will not amount to anything
Hi, honies, I'm home~~~~~~~
The boy is home, fine, happy, and tired. He has stated that he is sleeping in tomorrow!
It was a long, but uneventful drive. On the way back, I stopped at a gardening shop and picked up new palm leaf hats for us and found some of those neck coolers at the same shop. The slight downside was we didn't make it to my favourite orchid shop before they closed.
The Pics of Silver Creek Micah have been posted up in the Longbranch:

He's right cute too
Yep, a real QT!
Coffee is hot.....rained for 45 minutes last nite. We needed it. May have to move cattle this week due to water shortages, was trying to get another month of graze before shipping. The rain will help. Was hoping to target practice yet today also. See what happens outside.
I'll have some of that coffee!
Target practice on one of them beeves and then send the food on down here... ;D ;D ;D ;D
Here's another pic of Micah!!

Morning folks!.
Coffee's up.
Temperatures have dropped, we are now on a more manageable 77 F
Some rain is expected, mainly on the north and center, where the fires have been worse.
I think they should be horse whipped fer makin' fun of a new child. ;D
Ow by the way, did you see they come with Warnin' lables now? Bet it say's, "Caution may poop." ;D
Morning Scattered Thumbs! Looks like Del went back to bed, thanks for the coffee!
Glad to hear your weather has cooled, I hope the rain helps with the fires. It wasn't as hot here yesterday, but the humidity was still stifling. Might be some better today.
:D

Does tired equal grumpy?...........Buck 8) ::) :-\
Not equals but it is a multiplier. ;D I wish I new what they did with my durn Dictionary when they moved this thing, ain't seen my boom box either, those are also mutipliers to Grumpy.
GrumpyXTiredX can't find stuff someone moved=Thermal Nuke Rant. ;D
Uh, oh....Everybody run for the shelters! :o :o..It's about to blow!!!!!!Buck 8) ::) :o ;)
In threat of thermol nuclear fallout, I'll just peek in here an announce COFFEE is on.
after waiting for a month my horseshoer called me back and said he would meet this a.m to shoe. Have to leave early and ketch them.
Rained here most of the night, well needed.
Scattered Thumbs looks around, but sees nobody.
He helps himself to a cup of coffee and looks up with a concerned expression.
I sure hope that it's not an hard rain that's gonna fall.
Morning, folks and thanks for the coffee!
You have a nice thumb, Mr. Thumbs!

My father hates driving into San Antonio so much that I'll bet he'll make me take a taxi to Boerne next time I visit! (He grumbles about it every time!) >:( >:(

Evening, folks! Day two has finished and so far so good. We got to go to the beach early this afternoon before the family gathering. I was mostly quiet... again.
Wait a second, did I hear Forty Fonzai say he spent my bail money?
NO!!!!!
Dagnabbit
Now I have to behave while I'm here.
Dern. :'(
AnnieLee
Never could rely on that no-account brother of mine! >:(
I'LL bail you out if need be!!! ;D ;D ;D 8)
Don't count on Trinity. He ain't never had more'n thirteen or fourteen cents at any one time in his whole life. Ever seen him buy a drink?
Dagnabbit, just when I got my hopes up with Trinity, Forty Fonzai trashed them again.
Had a few close calls today. One was when a sister praised Jane Fonda. Another was when the same sister claimed Berkeley(sp?) was the best public school in the nation. One sister is ignoring me and when I attempt to initiate a conversation with her she ends it and walks away. Brother and I are getting along surprisingly well. I don't interrupt him and he gets to talk about himself so all is good, there. Got reacquainted with some cousins and that was wonderful. Mother of the bride has been busy and everyone has walked on eggshells around her, so that's gone good, too.
The niece is now happily, no, ecstatically married to a fantastic man.
:D
AnnieLee
Ah onct had sixteen cents and one Mexikin centavo! ...All at the same time!!!! Don' never say I never had nothin! >:(
Jane Fonda! >:( Berkley is the best school? >:( >:( ::)
We're all VERY proud of you! ;D ;D ;D
I'll bail you out Annie, if they don't hang ya before I get there. The old horse (73 Ford) is a bit slow these days, and it getting a bit hard to keep her fed lately.
Dang, GG, the more I see it, the more I do admire that hat. :) :) :)
You got a mity fine looking one on your head there to, Forty.
Ain't just any man can make a derby look good
Annie are you my lost sister, I believe your sibling are also mine. ;D :o ::)
Coffee is hot..
Annie, are you sure you weren't adopted? You've gone above and beyond there, I think. Are yer teeth gettin' sore? How about yer tongue?..................Buck 8) ::) :o :o ;)

well let me tell you tha hospital coffee was lousy this morin'. :P Ten minutes after I got home the sourdough starter was out of the icebox, had a cup of warm water added to it and it is now sittin' in a pan of hot water and it is alive and bubbly. Sourdough biscuits hand country sausage gravy from canned milk later. :D
And I got home and my wife had forgot to water my Jerico Rose and it was all dried up and wilted. :o :o ;D :D :D ::) ::)
(litl rooster now needs that new roll, I'll explain later for those who don't understand. ;D)
Trinity, you big boob, come out from under that bed. Annie ain't gonna hit you with her skillets. Not even the little one. I might kick your butt, but Annie ain't gonna hurt you.
Get outta there before I call Ma.
Well, I'm not sure about a Jerico Rose, but I know what a "Rose of Jerico" is. Where's yours, Del? :o
Oh, and welcome back!!
With a hug,
AnnieLee
A Jerico rose is a kind of tumble weed from the Middle east. When it lacks water it curls up into a ball a little bigger than a golf ball. When it finds water it spreads out into an ugly little fern with in a 1/2 hour.
A popular novelty in times past they can still be found sometimes.
Mine was lost for about 3 years before it was found behind a picture on the shelf, it is doing fine I watered it. ;D
Biscuits 'n gravy is one of my favourite meals. ;D
Slim
(http://vibeke.schou.dk/curiosity/jerico/rose.jpg)
Slim
Ahhh. Thank you!
The other one, if I could find a picture of it, would not be suitable for this forum as it is a particular type of tattoo.
:D
AnnieLee
Tatoos go back several hundred years Annie.
I had biscuits and gravy Sunday morning, yesterrday for lunch, and will likely have them tomorrow for lunch.
I'm with Slim on this. Of course, I always side mine with a plate of cholesterol, salt, grease, and fat (bacon).

I got a tatoo when I was nine.
Fedral grant to some professor type who did a study to find out that in an accident, the place least likely to suffer damage was under the left arm. He convinced the school district to let him blood type every kid and tatoo the blood type on the left side under the arm.
Some didn't have it done for various reasons...my sister screamed and kicked her way clear.
Penmanship was so poor that many of the tats were unreadable. The girls grrew up and found a tat with A+ a quarter inch high and six inches long. Couple of kids got infections.
It may have worked, but it never got off the grounf and I got re-typed every time I needed a security clearance, got an annual physical, or changed jobs for most of my life. They all found the same thing: I'm AB+
I don't need tatoos to decorate my glorious bod. I got scars instead.

I've got all 3 Forty including the AB+...That story is like some kind of horror story...surprized there hasn't been a class action law suite. It's funny all my medical records say my blood type and evry other year or so the Dr. or Lab tech thinks it may have change and type it again.
Really need a cup of the black stuff this morning. Went on a "ride out" with my son, "Johnny Q" (the cop) from 4 pm yesterday until 2 am this morning. Didn't get home until 3:30 am. Was quite an experience, and I've gotta tell ya, those guys and gals must have the patience of Job to deal with a lot of the folks in today's society.
Howdy y'all.

The Reno Hilton hosts a very large gun show 2 to 3 times a year here. They specialize in old west and antique firearms. Many local CAS members show up in period attire and with period accoutrements. I had the opportunity to but a rifle for well less that it's normal value, but needed cash. Walked into the Casino part of the hotel, complete with three .45's on my person, dressed appropriately to use the ATM (located next to a Casino bar). One patron turned around, saw me, and asked if this was a holdup (of the ATM). I told him "No! But I did ask it to 'Stand and deliver! ', And when it didn't I decided to use my plastic card.

((I'm feeling much better now. Thank you all for your inquiries and worries. I suffered this week the worst kidney stone attack (yet by one of the smallest stones!!!) that I have ever had. It started Monday morning and passed Wednesday night but awoke Thursday morning to stabbing pains again. Luckily, they were only "phantom" pains and I have had no more. However, I have been sick to my stomach until today probably due to the pain medications and lack of food. I think I am now back to normal! ::) ::) ::) I had to have that cat scan after all... and the doctor told me that I should be ok for a while!
I'm glad that every one else is safe and sound and up to their regular crazy shenanigans!))
I had a cat scan a few minutes go. My wife's Siomeeese was sittin' on the back of the chair starin' at me. ;D
Can't find tha coffee (bet Del let his wife's Siam cat have it ta play with), so guess I'll jus have ta make some "rerun" with tha old grounds. Won't be good, but it'll be black an' hot. :P

Welcome back, Trinity!! You were MISSED.
With a hug,

Thought Trinity was in the Riveria (or was it tha Roadmaster?). ??? Seriously, Trinity, know ya must a had a rocky time of it, an' we're shore glad everthang worked out ok. Glad yore back.
Well I'm glad ya didn't make no durn noise early this morinin', a fella has to get his sleep when he's been down. Got a pot of Gwad-ee-molly-an on right now and took a pain pill. Otherwise I can't get down on the floor to work on my quilt. ::)
Was up early but the sign on the door said the cosies day off....Be Quiet so I went and mowed the yard..Head lights are a marvelous invention. So then off to barn to take care of horses then to the Flea Market. It was pretty hot there got a closeout deal on a dozen fleas. and some other goodies>>.couple nice conchos for my gunbelt. Big cup of some one elses coffee and a biscuit.
Trinty glad your back with us ;D ;D ;D
Forty Rod, you would a liked the car I looked over tonite. We stopped by one of Rita's frieds and they were in the back room. Suddenly there was a black late 40's Plymouth club coupe behind my car. I asked Linda if she knew someone with a hot rod Plymouth? she said it was Jerry here husband. I was sent out to move our car but by the time I got out there he'd parked it in the yard.
We'll I kinda know him any way so OI got him to pop the hood latch and he said go at it. Well there were 2 carbs, and the spark plugs were in the middle of the head on a straght 6. ;D ;D ;D
Yep I did, a Black 48 Plymouth coupe with a 54 Dodge engine with a tiny cam, bored slightly forged crank instead of cast, spit zaust manifold with glass packs. 2 stock Carter 1 barrels on an Offy manifold and a floor shifter. Stock Bedford cord interior and just a nice enemal paint job. A real driver not a trailer queen.
Oh and he had the cheapy 71 Roadrunner slotted steel wheels painted red with baby moon caps. Fer got, 2 inch white walls. ;D
It is so nice to see a real classic driver and not a over modernized trailer queen.
Oh he's involved with a local stream liner, but he said maybe next year or the one after he may have to load it on the trailer. He just wants to know what it will do on the salt, just for pure fun of course. ;D ;D
sounds like a nice original, Del. Bet that interior was scratchy though. That's about the only part of them oldies that bothers me......Buck 8) ::) ;)
They are fine if you keep yer clothes on. ;D
He said he almost didn't paint it, it had some cool primer spots.
Been seein' some stuff about a SoCal car Club that is for traditional rods, they expect primer, Buick Nail Heads, Olds Rockets and other such stuff, no modern front ends, no air no power nuthin' but what goes to the wheels. Just pure hot rod. ;D Oh and they like to burn rubber, if there is primer on the fenders it won't mess up a $25,000 paint and body job. ::) ;D ;)
I passed several old classic's on I66 yesterday morning, including a Roadmaster, however i had to double take the driver of the coupe leading....His vanity plate40RODsorry didn't have camera with me
coffee's on
litl rooster put that coffee on so early it's gettin a bit thick, but still tastes purt good, Speakin of old classics, brung one of a different type home this weekend. A few dings in the wood, but the metal is rust-free and unpitted, and the bore is shiny and the riflin' sharp. Purty good shape for sumthin' borned in 1883. Here 'tis: (http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/6896/trapdoorredfinal0jh.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
I like it. :)
I'm sort of envious too. :-[
Morning ya'll.
Thanks fer the coffee, litl rooster.
Good ta see yer back, Trinity. Hopefully you'll be painfree fer awhile.
Nice gun, Capt.
Slim
Shot a match on Saturday. I shot most of the stages gunfighter. My left pistol doesn't want to shoot the targets unless I slow down. I shot one stage clean and another with only one miss. My "Mighty Ten" is fixed so I shot it on all but one stage. My posse members got a kick out of how it puts the knockdown down with such authority. ;D
After lunch, we shot impromtu 300 yards at 18" plates. I only hit it once out of many rounds. But, it was still fun to shoot my Roller .45-70. I started out shooting 405gr boolits, then shot some 500gr boolits. My roller has a carbine buttplate. The 500's gave me a bruise where the top of the buttplate meets my shoulder. My brother and nephew from MN went with me to the shoot, but they didn't shoot the match. They shot the roller. My nephew, who's 12, shot it twice with 405grs and decided that was enough. My brother shot a bunch of 405grs, then I gave him some 500grs. He said the 500gr boolits definitely had more felt recoil.

Del,
Does it look sorta like this?

Them SB's is right rare, Slim. I've only seen two in my area in the last twenty years! :o
Cap, that's a right nice TD. Looks like it was an Armory Queen for quite a few years. Nice to see something that old look that good.......Buck 8) ::) ;) ;D
Jerry's car wasn't on fire. ;D
They only made a little over a 1000 SB's I believe, all at a loss. The 70 Dodge Daytona is ever rarer. NASCAR outlawed psedo-airplanes so there was no reason to build a car at a loss. I've heard 1/4 mill for a showroom looking SB and about a 1/2 mil for the Dodge. :o

Wait till Scattered Thumbs finds out there is a J model Duesy about 1/2 mile from my house. And I can visit it durnin' their bussiness hours. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Local bussiness man has one in his auto museum, the fella in the next bed at the hospital had seen it and worshipped it. ;D Sadly he had a stroke while doin' that. I hope it don't happen to me when I go there to drool.
BTW: Speedway Motors of International hot rod supply fame. ;D
It'd dang near be worth having a stroke to see a J Duessie, even better for an SJ. I'd give a lung to drive either one.

When ol' Trinity tries to make coffee with

What type of body does it have and who made it, what colour(s) is it painted, what year was it made. Pictures?
Pleeeaase.
Mornin' COFFEE is hot......hep ya selves
Boy, one would hope the sock used was one of a pair bought for coffee only. I have seen it done at several ranch cookouts. The image Trinity gave can keep one awake nights and I will never trust cowboy coffe around here again ;D

No way Jose! My Dad has already given up half a lung and still no Duesie ride.
Well I'll see if I can ge over there in the next few days, I'm still worn out and I now have to go down-town to the city-county building on some bussiness, one time my wife cuts it close and a check bounces and so it's to the county treasuer. So I have to go in person with cash or they'll put a warrent out fer her arrest. ;D :o ::)
Dang I hate that place. they almost strip search me, cause my pants have metal buttons, so do my 'spenders and most of my shirts. Wear one's that don't, never I have my rights and told on that on day when he told me I shouldn't wear such stuff. >:( >:( >:(
I just looked at this POed young Deuputy Sherriff and said it's my right to wear what I want. I then told him to tell a friend of mine one of his cowboy friends had caused him trouble. The friend is a high rankin' deputy. ;D Mr. POed then smiled and got real nice. ;)
< Peeks in>
Dern motorhead geeks are still at it, and after reading about Trinity's socks, I may switch from coffee to yuppie Chai tea.
< nearly gagging>
;D
AnnieLee
I got off lucky, the part of the City-County building I had to go to ain't got a bunker in front to strip me naked when I set of their durned alarm. ;D
ST, I called and the musem is open limited 3 days a week If you are there at 2pm M-W-F they unlock the door and let you in. But they don't keep the door open. I'll get over there soon and take a gander at it. I'll see if they alow pictures and if so I'll borrow a digital camera and get you some pictures. But it might be a good idea to check it out first in case it is a pile of junk. ;D ;D
Annie Lee and PeJay I got up after Trinty past out...I mean dose off and made the coffee ;D

Coffee's up.

No socks were harmed in the making of it. ;D

Howdy Buck,
Luckily for me those fires have been plaguing the north and Center of the Country, and I live on the South West coast. Of course in a Country the size of mine distance is relative, ::) meaning, the closiest big fires are some 150 miles North from me. The smoke as reached us though.
Morning, folks! The coffee is fresh and hot!

Here at verk, we got 27 17" LCD 'puter monitors yesterday. Will be getting the 'puters to go with 'em next week. I setup one fer my boss and myself to "test" 'em before we get the new 'puters. The viewable screen is noticeably bigger than the 17" CRT's we have. It's gonna take a bit to get used to it.

Thanks, Annie. May put some ice in it 'fore the day's out. Sposed to get to 100 today.

Howdy folks!
Seems to me this thread has a little problem with posts disappearing now. I will have to lock it until I can sort out the problem.
Sorry guys.
Feel free to open a coffe and grub II if you want to.
