Blurf. Work today, but from home.
{{{Monk}}} Hope the job situation gets better soon.
Howdy Y’all! It’s bright, sunny and warm out today. Since I’m off work, I foresee lollin’ at the pool in the very near future.
Nava you can pick your nose, you can pick your friends but [del]you can’t pick your friends’ noses[/del] you can’t pick your family, unfortunately.
I have babyback ribs smokin’ away in the (duh!) smoker. I have also made N.O.T. sallit. The ribs should be done soon and will be allowed to simmer in sauce on very low heat in the slow cooker. MMMMMMMM… Dindin shall be ribs, N.O.T. sallit, steamed asparagus and rolls.
I heard many times, “You can pick your nose, you can pick your friends, but you can’t wipe your friends on the couch.”
But to Nava’s situation you CAN pick how far away from your family that you live! And thank goodness for that!

Like BooFae, I am all lobstery this morning. Apparently, our bike rides both Sat and Sun plus sitting outside a bit both days was just too much. And I never even thought about sunscreen. It’s a very nice “farmer’s” burn too: one side of each arm only and just up to the t-shirt line. Yuck. :smack:
But the weather here was beautiful and we did go for two very nice bike rides.
Hello, all. T’was a good weekend for this’un. On Friday my nephew’s baseball team, the Howard Hawks from Big Spring, won the 2009 Junior College World Series in Grand Junction. Their record for the year? 63 and 1.
No, that’s not a typo… 63 - 1.
I had a birthday yesterday and ate BBQ for breakfast. After you have BBQ for breakfast it’s kinda hard for anything to go wrong the rest of the day. If I was a doctor I’d just tell everyone that’s feeling bad to go eat BBQ. For breakfast.
One of my coworkers just got back from a trip to Istanbul and brought back baklava. OMG it’s good. I’ve made baklava, but it’s never turned out quite like that.
I guess I’ll just have to try again, won’t I?
Oh, swaaaaaaampie!!!
A few months ago, Invisible Tenant’s boss had some motorcycle mayhem. Apparently, his gas cap came loose. By the time he noticed, his crotch was wet with gas, and the gas did what gas does best - it found an ignition source and lit itself on fire.
A whole new meaning to the terms “crotch rocket” and “weenie roast” YOWCH!
:Turns green with envy: I am now officially jealous!
Wow… what triggered the testing? Glad it’s negative, anyway!
OK. Jealous and hungry, now!

Saw Quasi-Daughter off to France and Spain (maybe she’ll punch your Mom for you if she’s in the area, Nava?) and we’ll see her again end of August,
And Gnat’s up, so off I go.
Prompted by the “Things not to do with a dead bat” thread, I should report that the bat squatting in Outer Manland has been missing for a week, and I didn’t do a thing to get rid of it.
Oh well. If only the frakkin’ cats would disappear, too…
Hey all! My head is stupid with a new/old med I have begun taking again for my neuropathy, so please forgive my lapses.
{{{HockeyMonkey}}}
Nava I am so jealous! Being predominantly Scots/Irish I would love to be there. Enjoy it for me!
I have dogs, and unfortunately I see evidence of their favorite flavor daily. :rolleyes:
The reds are running, halibut is winding down and salmon is gearing up. One would think it was spring here!
Okay, I am just rambling on, so I’ll stop. Just thought I would stop in and say hi! (Hi Taters!)
pokes head in
So, did anyone miss me? Huh? Huh?
Crazy busy playing catchup at work, so this is just a drive-by to let y’all know I’m back from my travels and still in one piece (well, except for a teensy bit of my shin that got chomped by a black fly). Be back this evening with a real response, I promise.
blows kisses
Wiki! Dahlink!

lieu I like that. BBQ for brekkies as a cure for everything!
Worthy of embroirerin’ on a throw pillow!
I am all relaxated. I have been in le pool. ‘Twas heavenly! Ribs are fallin’ off the bone tender and oh so moist! They’re steamin’ in the slow cooker all wrapped in foil. I made a slight change in dindin. Well, an addition, actually.
After I showered, I decided I’d go fill up Big Red so I wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore this week. Since I was close by, I decided I’d go on down to see what the folks at the veggie stand had to offer. They had some nice lookin’ corn. Thus, corn on the cob is added to the menu. YUM!
Glad you’re back all safe and sound Muppet. We await bein’ regaled with tales of your trip.
kai when salmon gear up, what do they wear? 
ETA: Congrats to the nephew and his team lieu!
That looks like shite with your hair color, dear.
Where is she going? I know you mentioned it, but my head has turned to cheese lately.
Will do.
And it’s ALL. YOUR. FAULT!!
Hi Muppet!! Hi Kai!! Long time no see (in no small part because I’ve been semi-MIA myself lately)
I am so NOT responsible for your hair color! I wasn’t there when you got it!
While we were out riding our bikes on Saturday, we stopped at the food co-op and saw some “reduced for quick sale” stickers on grass-fed beef tenderloin. So we picked one up - just a little 1/2 lb one - and grilled it for dinner last night. It was goood.
And I made MagicEye’s Tibetan curry potatoes. Those things are addictive!
See? That’s what I mean!! Where were you at the time, huh!? :rolleyes:
