I got tired and sore just reading all the work that Ken did. The playing with the grandkids was actually much more strenuous than anything else. They NEVER stop, but that's ok and I welcome it. It sounds like 400 lbs of lime is a lot, but in reality, that's only 10, 40 lb bags with the broadcast sp...

Quite a productive weekend for me. Friday, got a shit-ton of yardwork done including spreading 400 lbs of lime on the lawn, finally getting to transplant my sweet peas beneath their trellises (been too cold of a spring so far), replacing the burners on the Weber, and splitting a last bit of wood tha...

Would love to see one of these two have a supernova of luck and lack of mistakes and win.

Their Country Fried Steak looks pretty good. If I'm down that way, definitely stopping in. They have great chicken fried steak in Texas. Goodson's Cafe in Tomball is the best I've had. https://goodsonscafe.com/ About 15 minutes from my shop. I visited a customer in the deep south of Georgia last Ju...

At Galatoire's in the French Quarter getting primed for the evening parades. I took a customer to dinner there about 12 years ago. She and I knew each other quite well as we've both been in the industry for quite some time together. Apparently, the maitre d thought we were husband/wife out for a ro...

I’m about to watch a LifeFlight chopper land at a tiny rural hospital in South Central Alabama. Laid back veeeerrrry slow day. Nice. Two girls just loaded a stretcher with equipment. Maybe a couple coolers of beer. ??? That made zero effing sense. Returned from Columbus, OH this morn after a confer...

This one is very wild. I have to wear leather gloves to prune it and still the thorns will stick through if I’m not careful. None of the others here have any thorns at all. They’re all variations of the blue flowers. Does anyone grow these back where you are? No. I'm certainly not a Ceanothus exper...

Rather boring little state I live in. Only geographical thing we have that could be unique is the highest point in the state is not at the top of a mountain. Well, here's one for ya about CT...

Interesting. It might even be a tad west, but probably not. I am sure Reno is to your west.

It absolutely is. Reno is even further west than Los Angeles.

And maybe Louisiana as well?

Yep. San Diego's latitude is on par w/Charleston's (or maybe Savannah's?, can't remember)

-Angle Inlet, a part of Minnesota, is only accessible by boat from the US w/out going through Canadian customs. Otherwise, one would have to drive through customs. When the treaty was negotiated, their maps were incomplete. Angle Inlet was supposed to be the point where the Mississippi River crosse...

It’s funny that you would ask that. It’s a variety of ceanothus (California Lilac) called ceanothus spinosus (Greenbark Ceanothus). There are more than 60 varieties and cultivars of this genus, very common in different parts of California, described on this grower’s website: https://www.laspilitas....

I do love me some roasted Brussels sprouts. Didn’t know that they grew in the snow. Brussels sprouts can easily withstand temperatures in the low 20's and even for short periods in the upper teens. It is standard practice for home gardeners in the midwest, northern plains, NorthEast, etc to allow a...

Look into 'Coffee and Cigarettes', directed by Jim Jarmuch. The film actually was developed over a 10+ yr. period. According to Prime Video, Steven Wright was part of the origin story. Love me some Steven Wright. Doesn't surprise me... if I recall correctly, he is in the very first scene. Steven Wr...

Air is okay but you might mix it up with a different Nike movie. Have you seen Prefontaine? I'm not a big movie fan. Never heard of Prefontaine, among countless others that most of you are aware of.

Another relaxing weekend for me... a 3-day weekend, thank goodness. Just finished making a pot of chicken (thigh meat) and white bean chili. Will be devouring a bowl of that shortly.

I don't capitalize upon reward-earning credit cards like I should. I only use credit when booking flights, hotels, trips. Yes, I'm missing out and I know that. While I do carry cash on me, about 95% of the time I use my debit card. Also, do my best to tip in cash.

Two lasers were fired simultaneously -- one 14.4 miles away and one 23 miles away. The two lasers, at greatly differing distances, were simultaneously visible, on the same line, on the horizon.
