Run, Green Bean Casserole is on the way.

[Delmonico]

"Crown Roast of Frankfurters" had the soundtrack of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"-theme playing in my head. Da-Da-Dah-Du-DAHH!

We're hosting Thanksgiving for the extended family this year, so all I'm responsible for is the turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes and gravy. All the sides are being contributed by others.
Plus bonus, my brother-in-law and I have this tradition of whomever cooks the bird, the other carves that year.
And I plan a big pot of turkey soup for the carcass, afterwards.

In the culinary world turkeys do not have a carcass they have a frame.

Don't ask me why?

Go in the corner and slap yourself. 

Any more problems and you will be sent to the hole and fed nothing but green bean casserole and water.🙄

42 years later this song about a hapless truck driver with it's odd mix of bluegrass and jazz still makes me laugh.

Her hand went to her bosom
A hush fell on the crew
An acre of Brenda
Lay exposed to view.


So polite, so much more subtle than the fat lady flashed her boobs.😇

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are ready.

Moved some horse fence this morn. Ended with 3/8" of snow on my hat.

'Tis 22 and snowing. 1" so far. High of 32. Supposed to get 3".

Morning all.

18, wind-chill to -2, with snow falling.

I'm currently sitting in a soft chair and moving around like an old man. Took a hard spill on concrete and bruised my tailbone and hurt my back some.  I decided to not go to class today.

Yessir I do. And I fit right in. 

27, wind chill 7 today in Billings. But sun is shining, and most of the ice is gone.

I'm finding more places I hurt myself in my little fall yesterday. So far I'm up to 4 bruised ribs (plus one that's still healing from last month), bruised tailbone, sacrum and hip, pulled muscle in my lower back, stomach and right leg. My left wrist is also painful, though I didn't got it, so I'm not sure why. Sympathy pain, I guess.

Update on the friend of mine that was in the car wreck. It turns out that is was a different friend of mine in the same department.  He's in stable condition, still in ICU. He has multiple broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a concussion, but is expected to make a full recovery. Which is good to hear. He has a wife and 2 children (7 and 1).

We're running onto 3 plus weeks of dry weather, with nothing in the foreseeable future.  We are running overnight lows just around freezing and highs in the mid to high 60's.

At least the cooler temps and low winds are giving the firefighters in California a chance to knock down the worst of the wildfires.  The fact that SPG&E has not kept up the maintenance on it's power line (that led to the destruction of almost the entire town of Paradise.  Their response is to shut off power to users to keep from being blamed again as being the probable cause of a fire.  (I feel for those that have lost property and the ability to get information in critical times due to lack of power).

Found out that this last outbreak caused shutdowns of power to pumping stations that bring gas and diesel fuel to Reno.  Nice to know that the California bureaucracy can influence a lot of people outside of their jurisdiction.  And I thought leaving would rid myself of California Government.

Oh well, I'll get off my soapbox (high horse), and just enjoy the sunny skies and nice temps we're having!

[Silver Creek Slim]

Russ T, I'll swap rain for some warmer temps.

Actually slept most the night, got up and cleaned a disaster kitchen, supper was good, friend left 15 pounds of ribs with me back in September and then I got sick, didn't feel like doing them and didn't want to get him sick in case it was catching. 

Actually he came over the see and play with Little Brown Dog.😉

Little Brown Dog was naughty Thursday, snuck in and snuck back outside with a half slab of ribs.😖  it's ok, we had plenty, DJ laughed and said he's too cute to be mad at for long.

Smoked em with oak for a couple hours, put on a rub and slow cooked them in the roaster, house smelled awsome, Little Brown Dog  kept trying to tell me they were done.😂

I am so glad we didn't wait a while to get another dog and so glad I was on FB that night and so glad I didn't say no when the one we thought was black was brown, were sure though we got the same one that looked black and was a male.  Norton said he got the darkest one.  Couldn't turn back at that point, Rita had already named him.

Because I was sick and getting certain people together we are not doing Rowdy's ashes till spring.  Moved the can to the closet yesterday, Little Brown Dog  licked the dust out of my etes.
