New month, no lie, it's July

[Delmonico]

New recipe to try, invented it my self, will see if it's as good as I think.  A teaching Doc to teach people how not to follow a recipe but to use it as a guide.  2nd Edition Betty book, everything is different except baking temp and same amount of milk, still the basic recipe though.

I need this T shirt.

I have to admit I'm stumped about the end word and/or the cultural reference.

[Major 2]

Deciphering Del ...the shirt ?   I believe refers the late Harry Chapin and 30,000 banana's 

Do I win a Cookie... Del  ?   

reloaded some 45 ACP for the 1917 Smith ...  and now making sandwich ...Ah! Retirement

I have to admit I'm stumped about the end word and/or the cultural reference.

I guess while RCJ was building up his Partridge Family and Donny Osmond collection some of us were on to more sophisticated things.

[Major 2]

He was good , but no Arlo Guthrie

He was good , but no Arlo Guthrie

The song writers, Harry, Arlo, Guy Clark, John Prine, Jerry Jeff, Ray Wiley, and several others, not much like them left.   Could write a song that sounded very goo, both tune and lyrics.

[Major 2]

Mr. Bojangles may be my favorite song of all ...

I like it no mater who did a cover , but especially John McEuen cover with the Dirt Band

[Professor Marvel]

Yeah no moregoodsong writers. Damn this iPad.


And overpriced Waxed Hemp Rope.
Reminds me of Eddie Bowers insanely priced "fat wood"

I guess nobody taught the "kids" to cut up their Amazon prime boxes into little cubes and soak them in
Melted candle stubs ( preferably what's left from Thanksgiving, Christmas and New year's). But then it probably wouldn't work if you had turkeytofu and soy candles.

Hell I still have maybe 20 or 30 pounds of paraffin in one giant brick laying around, from my fancy candle days. Loved to add real vanilla , use a proper wick ( braided cotton! No lead wire for this kid) and cast em up in various size tin cans. For fancy I would use my soldering iron to carve pretty psychedilc designs on the outside. Or Celtic Golrdian Knots. I will have to make one and throw in vanilla and cinnamon and see what happens.

If you got "the good stuff" ... Some sort of highly condensed / compressed wax ) you could make candles that did not drip but could last for a couple days. I quit making those when I found I could get "plumbers candles" cheaper, and just putthosesuckers in my kit. Warms a small tent right up.


Betwixt waxed rope, the demise of real songwriters,
and incorporating BMX bikes and skateboards into the friggin Olympics,
it IS the EOTWAWKI.

Go for the shirt, Dell. It keep them guessing.

Hey did you know you can make your own pumpkin ball 1.75 inch shotshells and stuff  12 of em into an 870 with the 8 round extender tube? YMMV for number and tweeking for feeding. I kept making dummy shells til I got the length perfect. Or you can load no. 4 buck . 

If ya got a mossberg  8 rounder you can get a rubber ramp doohickey and stuff  14 of those little 1.5 inch Aguila shells in.  Goodby elastic Buttstock shell holders.

Prof rambling aimlesslessly.

[Delmonico]

One oz of copper platted lead BB size aka 50 pellets will make a nasty close range for 28 Gauge.  Still a dozen or so in a drawer at the farm, marked BB on shell with Sharpie.  I always called them Baby Buckshot.


Still some young good ones out there if you search for them.





On Hiatus right now, rumor is lead singer song writer is drying out.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Gonna work on a partition wall in the shed.
