(Old) When Mom's Away...A Coasterless MMP

Do you ever see feral finches, parakeets or parrots out your way? Sis in Houston gets a few of them at her bird feeder.

They were ribs like you would barbeque. Essentially, just cook them low and slow with vegetation and seasoning of your choice, de-bone them, add broth and barley and in a couple more hours of crockpotting, you have stew.

He’s just a little bit bigger than Nelson. I wonder who would win in a cage match? :stuck_out_tongue:

I irked for the first Monday since the second week in December. The department next to mine is on mandatory. OT for the rest of the week. I hope it doesn’t spill over.

It made it above freezing today, so stuff is melting…Yay! It is supposed to be nearly 60F Wednesday.

I’ve been a bit down today. A guy who grew up down the street from me and married one of the girls across the street passed. Skip was older than we were and, while very functional, was a bit of an emotional mess when he came back from Vietnam. If I had to guess, liver damage likely took him out. It was always reassuring to me that anytime my dad needed a hand for a plumbing job, he was right there. After he retired, he wouldn’t even take pay for it, so Dad would buy him a case of beer “for his dog”. :slight_smile: RIP Skip.

Stay safe and healthy y’all!
