Speaking of…House of the Dragon new season should be dropping in a couple of months.

Morning all. Had fun at our oyster roast. Good catching up with some coworkers I haven’t seen since the last one. Wife goes in for her checkup today so, another milestone to recovery.

Have a great day! Santa Fe sunrise MZ:

My heart goes out to you... but I'm glad that you have each other and that you can share this time, to be with her.

I was blessed to be on a 28/28 day rotation during my father's "wind down" and I wouldn't take a million dollars for one minute that I got to spend with him.

I’m glad you got to spend some QT with your dad in his final phase. I’m sure it meant a lot to him too.

Does your mom get treatments for her macular degeneration?

My mom did for 20 years and had amazing eyesight all the way to the end.

If it is a farewell tour (even if it ain’t) it would be some great time to spend with your mom and hear her memories!

Yeah she has gotten the shots. 1 eye is worse than the other. She only has peripheral vision... she wants to wear an eye patch .... it bothers her.... she can see to take care of the house etc.... her grandma was blind I suspect of the same thing because i remember when I was little that she would turn her head to " see a little bit"

My mother acts like the Japanese performed Pearl Harbor especially to terrify her. She was 9. She loathes the Japanese to this very day.

One of my dad’s friends left his left arm on Iwo Jima. When the 50th anniversary of the battle was coming up, the VFW reached out to him to see if he’d be interested in going back for the commemoration. His quote…”I ain’t going back over there and shaking their hands. Those bastards tried to kill me!”

Ford made cars for the Germans ....I think?

For the Germans and soviets weirdly enough. Henry ford was a virulent anti semite and my dad was Jewish, so who knows why he liked his fords so much.

Well, for one thing… they ran and never quit. At least that was our experience. Mine too.

Nc is vinegar based... and is not red...the slaw is red because the BBQ it.... and they have these red hotdogs...weird but delicious

And in southern va too! Every time me and my dad used to go down to Martinsvulle speedway to see the big modified races, we’d go get those pink hot dogs.

God knows what was in em.

 

[Missk_2022]

Well I better get my butt to work.... ugh and yawn...

Tonight is sewer board.....

I had a great uncle who left 2 legs

That is a surprise..... but it was different times back then....

Germany and soviets started out as friends

After ww2 ended Patton said the soviets needed to be dealt with next.... and then he was mortally injured in a car accident.....

Morning all. Today is the anniversary of my arrival in this weird world 55 years ago.

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

You know what? I'm happy to have all three and break the tie..... Where would you consider Central to all three to be? Southern Missouri?

So for the unwashed…here’s your BBQ primer…

NC BBQ - split into Eastern NC (vinegar based sauce w spices) and Western NC (Tomato/ketchup/molasses or sweet)
SC BBQ - mustard based sauce. Good but not my fav…

Both of these mainly piggy

Tennessee - Dry rub spice
KC - a mix of dry rub spice and sweet sauce

Mainly beef and Tennessee mostly ribs

TX - spicer sauces with a healthy mix of the rub and others. Brisket is king

BBQ is kind of like sex…even when it’s bad…it’s still pretty good!

My life partner’s daughter is in ER with neck and joint pain, headache, and entire body rash. They are doing CT and spinal fluid test. Say a good word for them.

 

[Boat1]

Yep.... she wants to plan our trip we r gonna take 10 days or so and meander around...

BTW how was the home visit!!! Is your lady wife doing ok?

That sounds like a great trip!

Thanks! Time off was hectic but very enjoyable... my Lovely Wife is doing well, but we're both very tired of the relentless winds we've been having.

Thanks! We had fun, were extremely tight, and yes, he told me stories he'd never shared with anybody.

LOL! When my uncle and I would go fishing he’d always bring Vienna Sausages and/or potted meat to snack on. He would tell me they were monkey peters!
