THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Happy is the man who can endure the highest and lowest fortune. He who has endured such vicissitudes with equanimity has deprived misfortune of its power.

Morning.
Happy Veterans day - thank you men and women for all the days you spent for us. The birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and PCSs; the weekend duty, exercises, TDYs, TADs, dets, and deployments. Last but not least, the ultimate sacrifice. That can never be repaid. Thank you.

Shorts, FO and T-Rad, DW and I make a mean batch of hot-wings. We started out with an online recipe that was supposed to be the same as Hooter's wings. Obviously they are deep fried and the sauce is equal parts butter and Frank's. mmmmmmmm
Just sauce, Ranch (DW's fave) or Blue Cheese (my fave), they are all good. They even reheat on the BBQ really well.
If you want the recipe, just let me know.

wings. Buffalo's Anchor bar started them to give customers something more to eat than pretzels/ get rid of chicken parts they did not use.
who'd a thunk it would be so popular. has to be cooked right though, Frank's wings were not greasy. mmmmm now you have me hungry for another Buffalo favorite- Mighty Taco suicidal hot soft tacos the size of a dinner plate.
bars last call at 4AM then hang out till breakfast at 5AM. shower, and so forth; at work at 6:45AM. I have no idea how I did that in the 70s.
great day. Thanks to DTR, the hub on the one ton is free. well it looks like each costs 250 bucks, but it is off the truck....
long motorcycle ride, gorgeous to be riding in november. passed a large M/C club party in the middle of three state forests, very good idea to keep moving but we found a legendary folklore place. Now have to go back when no people. so nice out, I even washed and waxed both bikes.
old school was let nature do it. now I have a pretty bike,ugh.

Tallguy, I'm a wimp. I probably couldn't handle the recipe. (Enter Grandma C's voice at DHs cousin's wedding in Ohio - my first major event meeting his extended family from the midwest...As we walk through the appetizer line and I pick the non spicy wings, "I thought you people liked spicy food?". This was preceeded by "You don't have much of an accent". I'm thinking Texan, she's meaning Speedy Gonzales.)
