The only lumber I jack is in my underwear! Badumbum!

No …..you meant fun. Nothing like seeing it “whoosh” out of the nozzle over the rhubarb crumble. Just watching ordinary cream dribble out of a carton is boring.

Drove past a cemetery the other day and watched a group of people wander through the graves carrying a coffin. 4hrs later I Drove back past the same cemetery saw the same group of people still wandering around carrying the coffin. I said to my wife " gee they've really lost the plot haven't they?"

I'm supposed to be sleeping but just peeked in to laugh my head off...

 

[Greylag]

It's wonderful you do that, G! So good for the kids to get outside and learn other life stuff!

Thank you Lili…yes they pick up life skills with it all too. A number of parents have commented how positive it has been for their kids overall. Used to be the same when I taught martial arts. Helped them as school too…discipline and concentration.

Rhubarb is another plant I don't like. And okra!

Okra spawn of the devil!

 

[Greylag]

I'll take your lima beans and Brussels sprouts! Try roasting the sprouts in the oven or air fryer with olive oil and garlic. So good!

Or chop the parboiled sprouts and sauté with smoked bacon pieces then add……..you guessed it …….cream (the pouring variety)

 

[Greylag]

Favorite vegetables - roasted carrots, parsnips, small potatoes, and raddishes. Love

The lower one is a peach and the upper one is apple. The crust is homemade.

I would take radish off my list but carrots and parsnips sliced length ways, coated in olive oil and roasted ….yes!

@Greylag
My dad was born in Perth...

Good evening everyone.
As a way introduction - I am a bit over 50, not new to Lit (this is just a new account), but new to this thread. Thought I should stop by and say hi after reading for a bit now.

Welcome. I am a newbie but if they take a weird Brit like me you'll be fine

@Greylag
My dad was born in Perth...

Beautiful area! I used to hunt there …around Loch Leven. Might have moved there but just a touch too far out for easy commutes south of the border.

Thank you.
Brit or not, we all have to be somewhat weird to be here in the first place.

Dad didn't talk much about scotland, he immigrated to the US before I showed up. I don't know why, it's such a beautiful country...

That was my place yesterday. Then I looked at the thermostat and realized the heat was still set. Weather's been bouncing around here a bit. Think it's finally settled on warm and warmer.

The pool temp was 81* yesterday. High 90s all week in Phx.

You have got to watch out for those 'normal' people

Welcome great bunch I must say

Welcome great bunch I must say

You're going to work & I'm going to sleep,

 

[Micktg007]

You're going to work & I'm going to sleep,

Well in the next 10 minutes another busy day ahead

 

[Rj_1954]

Don't work too hard...

Hi there,

Hi, PG! So, cilantro. Soap? Or yum?

 

[Lilianna23]

All the more reason to keep it, and to keep using it. Gently. And maintenance. Change the oil once a year if you keep driving it that little.

We have lifetime LOF on it.

 

[Lilianna23]

That's the pact, right? We're nice to the vehicle and in return the vehicle is nice to us... no breakdowns or flat tires. Agreed!

Exactly! Once a vehicle becomes unreliable, I start looking around for another!

 

[Lilianna23]

I talk to mine. I talk to all of mine. The truck. The Harley. The other Harley. The Packard. Hell, I even talk to the lawn mower sometimes.


I draw the line at the fucking vacuum cleaner. The cats don't like it much.

I name all my cars after my dad. My current vehicle, a midsized SUV, is named Wladimir. My Dad's name was Bill.

I haven't named the truck. Any ideas?

 

[Lilianna23]

That's a pretty typical cat thing. I'm always surprised to see videos of cats that like the hose being used on them (not like that, Sin )

My dad used to nickname all the cars. Some of my siblings have continued that tradition in their own households. Dad would nickname almost anyone or anything. Such a character!

My dog doesn't like the vacuum cleaner. She steers clear of it.

Not bad for a non ford!!

You mean:
Found
On
Road
Dead???
