Retired after varied career, most recently NPS ranger. Now woodworker, gardener, home chef, cat herder. Honorary Mexicano. Cranky Democrat.
I don't often follow back but it doesn't mean I don't like you. Usually.
No follow lists!
Good AM, MJ and all. Fantastic dinner, pics tomorrow. About time to bug out, LeeLee market, Trader Joe's, maybe couple more thrift stores. Decided no more city night driving until I can get something done with secondary cataracts. A bit unnerving to say the least.

Use the papain or bromelain tenderizer; perforate the meat, apply tenderizer and seasoning. Usually do before freezing or day before cooking. Make my own seasoning with rotisserie chicken seasoning as a base.

Most of our Christmas music we save for Christmas and Eve. Gym, few groceries, packed bacon, cut and packed steaks (forgot to season and tenderize), changed Honda oil, cleaned up interior. Still need to check tires and clean glass before our 2-day excursion.

Way too big for that, about 2” long.

Our mixer is a Kitchenaid about 15 years old. Having an issue with the head lock backing off but a rubber band takes care of that. Have been using the Cuisinart more since we got a plain lid - much easier to wash than the one with the slicer setup. What we'd really like is a pro mandolin.

Seriously doubt it. Haven't bothered to identify, Just don't want them ending up on the ground - could go right through a boot.

We saw them in SD, their trucks covered Midwest and plains, mostly farm country. Also sold bargain new Merch on the order of Harbor Freight.

Kosher dills,lotsa garlic. Maybe next year we'll have success with cukes. Dr appt trip used up Thur. Increase my med, keep an input output log. Follow up next month. Off to gym in a bit, then slice and pack bacon, clean up car, change oil.

Got a few refurbished tools when Cummins Tool trucks were still making the rounds. Miter saw, router, biscuit joining saw. Our stand mixer also from Kitchen Collection. Sure miss them - our favorite toy store.

Why is it that "herding cats" means something difficult? All I have to do is holler, "Breakfast!"

Current p-doc today, stop at Lowes for hinges and propane torch. Returned 3rd or 4th to Harbor Frt - refund this time.
Party meeting last night started late due to tech issues. 8pm halfway thru agenda I left, couldn't hear most of it anyway. Person questioning decision made meeting or 2 ago.🙄

PCP visit, referrals to ENT and new p-doc. Finished weatherstrips - door bottoms. Heavy doors; solid core wood product, double glass with blinds. Hopefully will last as long as we do. Carne asada tacos, and still enough London broil for sandwiches.

Didn't even look last night. By the time I left the Zoom meeting I was pretty much done. Your pics resemble what I saw night before. Our view a little more pink, but very faint.

Did you see the article about Google suing the company that enables the toll road and package delivery scams? Mostly for precedent, since it's in China.

Time to clean up the firewood box and spray inside with Home Defense so we don't have things crawling around the house. Black widows are plentiful here but we mostly just see their webs. Bacon to be smoked this afternoon.

Some scammer has been trying to spoof our Party officers' email addresses. Funny, the turd's actual address is "president" with a string of numbers.
