I sese a theme thonight among Mumpers. 😉 **Flytrap** , khan you stop with the Horde obsession? **swampy** , but they serve pork wings and redneck eggrolls. That’s worth the pass.😃 ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 67 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 96 for the day. Factor in the heat index and it’ll feel like over a hunnert by mid afternoon. ICK! The weather PTB say a fifty percent chance of rain tomorrow. We shall see. **Magnum** appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed re the gig. As soon as I have enough daylight, I shall commence with smokeage. I scored some nice hickory chips and I will add some apple juice to the water to impart a nice hickory/apple flavor to the chikin and \ butts! \ ‘Twill be nummy. I’m also fryin’ up some wings and gettin’ ‘em sauced (as in puttin’ hot sauce on ‘em, not gettin’ the wings drunk. don’t want to do that. wings are a mean drunk. :D). I like it when the wings marinate in the sauce for a while, in this case about 24 hours. I’ll stick ‘em in the slow cooker tomorrow mornin’ to heat up. They along with some stuffed jalapeños the wild twins are bringin’ shall be munchies durin cee-mint pond time. We shall feast and drink big time tomorrow. Oh, and I intend to accomplish mowage this mornin’. Tell me I don’t know how to go wild on a day off! **doggio** ok, I’ll give 'em a pass for the pork wings and redneck aigrolls. Really though, you should start a petition to get rid of the fart blossoms. 😛 Ok, I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Happy Firday Y’all! ---

Appendages crossed for the job, **magnum**. Hope your knee feels better soon, **butters** Working on a project for the daughters of two of my cousins in the studio today. They wanted copies of my mom’s recipes like I made for Dad and the sisters a couple of years ago. Fortunately, I saved the graphics to CD, so much of it is print and assemble. I’m happy to see that they’ve taken an interest. ---

Mornin’! Happy Firday! Up. Not yet caffernated. Thanks for tying up your appendages, **doggio** and **swampy**. I hope you can get untangled in time for uses appropriate and inappropriate. **Bobbio** , I think I’m catching on. Slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww-leeeeeeee. **EmilyG** , _ **how yooz dooin** _’? With each passing blurf, hopefully it gets a little better. Have a great day, and a greater long weekend! Signed, **Magnum** ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > [Pork Tots](http://www.backyardbistro.com/chefs-features/). The pig wings are good, too. I love pig wings! Except we usually call them hogsickles. The one place near me did them in all the same flavors as their usual wings; I gained 10 pounds before they stopped. ---

**Butters** hope the knee is better soonest. I’ve been a bzzy bear this mornin’. I have mowed da yahd, trimmed some tree branches from over the drive, cleaned the cee-mint pond, and have taken the chikin and the two small \ butts \ off the smoker. The two bigger \ butts \ will smoke another three hours. Also, I have baked a chawklit sheetcake which shall be covered in chawklit/pee-kahn icin’ in a little while. The cake needs to cool a little more and I need to make the icin’ still. For now, however I shall chill for a bit. I earned me some chillage! ---

I have bruched, Walked Gordie, cleaned the kitchen, swept the porch, and dusted ( **FCM** , :p). Now to run some errands. Hope the knee is better, **Butters**. **Magnum** , of course pigs have wings. How else do the fly? 😉 : waves at the **Capt’n** : ---

> [@Sahirrnee](#): > > The HFH are acting weird. You say that like it’s unusual. 🙂 Working on waking up to head for work. Closing shifts the next two days. Yay. School is moderately OK so far, but I’m pounding my head on a wall trying to access content for the online course where so far as I can tell, the links just don’t exist yet, and the deadline for this assignment is Sunday. Haven’t gotten a response from the professor in e-mail either. Probably going to have to call her. Had to buy a wheeled bag for my school stuff, it was just too heavy for a shoulder bag. Still haven’t figured out what we’re doing about my birthday, which was Tuesday. BTW, the “birthday cake” flavor of M&M is not THAT impressive (was given some at work). ---

Hey **Magnum**. Thanks for asking how I’ve been doing. I’ve been rather busy this past little while. Still sad about the cat, but my sister is even sadder. It was her cat, that she’d brought back from Ottawa. I went out today and bought some apples and renewed my bus pass. I should go practice the alto clarinet in a bit.
