Mmmm lunch - airport beers :D

Arrrr, that there bicycle pic ain't safe fer parrots. Keeps squakin "Plunder the Poop Deck!"

Righto, camped at the Adelaide Hilton for a few weeks. Poor bugger me ay. :D

Um, yeah I meant the shoes. Nice shoes.:D

17 years ago my wife and I went on our first date. We went to visit my folks and then to dinner at the Chinese place where I proposed a year later.

Mertnin.

Made an omelet this morning using that smoked pork loin roast, mozzarella cheese, and salsa. And it was good.

Am ate up with this smoker/roaster/grill stuff.

Several years ago dropped by a friends parents home around Thanksgiving. His mom is part of the Oklahoma literacy council and teaches asians english. Some of her students had gotten together and given her a Garlic Deep Fried Turkey. It was some of the best turkey I've even had. Going to have see how close I can get using the smoker/roaster/grill since it is supposed to do as well as the oil fryers in roaster mode. The big deal with frying is it is supposed to leave things juicier than smoking and the complaint with smoking things like turkey is it is too dry. Nephew says that is why he always does their turkey in the oven. Specifically did the pork loin roast yesterday because they are difficult to smoke and get it tender without drying it out. If the roast I smoked last night is any indication, especially since it were my first attempt, it is going to make some gooood turkey!

Cool. Congrats Wayne, and Mrs Wayne for putting up with you. ;)

My wife and I had our first date (almost 26 years ago) at a local restaurant. We go back there every anniversary and on special occasions. They moved from a small old building to a super nice fancy custom building about 10 years ago. Dang I am getting hungry for some of their Cajun food.

We met Jim and his wife there when they came through town.

Good no longer Monday day!

You got that right Glen! Her putting up with me.

I would imagine that the air around Richard's place smells really good.

Only before he eats. Then there is often a foul smell like swamp gas for some reason.

One of the funniest things...

Mom was out in the garage cleaning the poop out of the cat's letter box. Was looking for her and opened the door to the garage. Penny, my first golden ran up behind her. Just as Penny got there Mom had the vapors. She farted right in Penny's face. Penny barked at her. Evidently Mom didn't hear us until Penny barked and it startled her. He stood up quickly, screamed and threw the bag she was collecting cat poop in across the garage. Penny came running to me for safety, turned and barked at her again. Laughed so hard I almost hurt myself.

That was almost as funny as the time I saw the lady stopped going the other way on a 4 lane street. She was out in front of her Jeep Cherokee about pick up and move this Huge box turtle that was in the street. As I was going by I honked just as grabbed the turtle. She stood up quickly throwing the turtle about 40 ft in the air and 70 ft off the side of the road. Don't know if she meant to throw the turtle or carry it out of the street but it sure looked like it wasn't planned. I laughed for 30 minutes.

Would love to teach Pepper to bark at people when they fart. Think that would be hilarious.

One of my friends (really I swear) was at Wal Mart late at night grocery shopping. The place was mostly empty. He was walking down a aisle and walked into a wall of stink. Some older lady was evidently "crop dusting" as she walked. He just turned around and went the other way down the next isle. Up ahead he saw the lady coming his way. He was thrilled when he squeezed out a "nice" crop duster of his own. She walked right into it and she even said "Oh my!" as she hit it.

My sweet daughter does that.

I try to keep a straight face until we get away and then we laugh about it.

Dang it. My El Camino will not be ready until tomorrow afternoon. (I hope)

I know it is just fill in work for them and not a big money maker, but damn. I can only hope it meand they are doing it right and letting the primers dry. Or they will start in the morning.

We had a guy that was written up because he kept crop dusting people on purpose. And no it wasn't me. It was a guy from Ghana. Very book smart but socially inept. He got gophers in his yard and we had him convinced they were poisonous. He also made the comment that he didn't eat pork, but LOVED breakfast sausage!

I was looking in my spam box. I found one that was for slippery floors. I did not bother to see if it was to make them less slippery or more. Maybe it was a ice coating to slide around for fun.

I was going to take my wife to the restaurant where I proposed for our tenth anniversary only to find out it was closed. That sucked since we were in Alpine CA and there aren't many nice places there.

There are several what were once nice places I've taken dates to that no longer exist. There are also several places that have been around ever since I can remember that I've never been to.

Had Jalapeno smoked sausage sliders for lunch. Must have been really hungry for some Jalapeno cause they were really good and not hot at all.

Hey that reminds me. I need to smoke some stuffed jalapenos. Mmmm.

Be careful Brent. Soon you'll be smoking the hard stuff. :D

Yea, keeping the zig zag lit is the tough part. You have to really inhale hard I would guess.

Okay, I'll admit it. Didn't really get a smoker/roaster/grill. It's really just a Hookah.
