Hey, last time I was in Boston I drove right in and right back out. Picked up at 730AM. I think it was exit 24 I used off the Mass Pike, right at the end of the (closed at the time) big dig. Got loaded with chinese blankets and stuff by a bunch of Puerto Ricans. 53' trailer couldn't be dropped on the dock without blocking traffic so they loaded me on the side street. The guy stacking could imitate the crosswalk sirens perfectly. It was funny watching all the prissy boys with their little backpacks on and their chests stuck out jump up and spin out in mid-air trying to get out of the street.

 

Bark - can you make good smoked salmon with fish that has previously been frozen? The couple of times I have tried, the stuff that has already been frozen seems to go mushy on me.

 

Evening all
Sitting in hotel near KCI Airport waiting on wrecker capable of jumping the truck...fuel gelled and I killed it trying to get it going .. Supposed to be here in the morning then homeward bound

Hvy, drove in Boston once, will never do it again....

We officially got 13.2 inches of snow here yesterday, almost all of it in about 4 hours, they've had a couple roofs collapse, but surprisingly, no major car accidents, tho the police impounded over 500 vehicles that either got stuck or stalled and were abandoned on the highways...$200 a pop, the wreckers made some good money

I'm happy tho, this is badly needed moisture, maybe the drought has broken, we got more snow in the forecast for Sunday

Ok, I'm bored, so off to see what the Waffle House next door has to offer......my expectations aren't high....

 

Yeah, but moving is part of my life... it's kind of nice, getting out of this crap hole...

Snort... ha, yeah, that's not it.

Dude, you're not having any luck... maybe you should never leave home again!

Evenin. Got all the crap together for the yard sale tomorrow... just a bunch of junk I don't want to haul to the dump...

 

Naw, I try not to see it that way, the truck waited until I was at a cozy warm place to throw it tantrum, rather than out in the middle of nowhere in a blizzard
I got a beautiful woman waiting on me to get home,rather than an empty house
It's not a major breakdown , but a nuisance delay

I ain't 1200 miles from home, sitting in a barracks wondering if mortars are on the evening menu


I ain't unlucky at all........

 

snicker....ok, how many of us here can imagine Madhat having a yard sale?
"YOU WILL MAKE A PURCHASE!" NONE of this (spreads muscle arm over view of items) will remain here.

Yikes, Chris. just have a hankering for bad hotel and food? yeah, hope the water table gets on par.

Bark, hope ya feel better for the trip to CA and parts....my pills make the insides flip, hope yours are better! like groooooovy man...60s

can't wait till PT on Monday...I think they are gonna use the computer tech guy to fix me this time....rewire me or such

 

Hat - REALLY - Yuma has been a crap hole?? I don't know anything about your work life there, but it sure looked like you, Angie and the boys made it a fun place to be outside of work....

 

You know what's really funny about that picture? I really never had any desire to get a tattoo but I always threaten that if I ever do, that'll be the one.

Maybe it's time to change the program a bit AND solve the mystery at the same time. This year, lay the salmon all over you instead of the su-bor-roo. That way you'll get a yearly bath and find out who's been cleaning the car as well.

Mark, I don't envy all that packing. I helped my nephew move his FIL while I was home last week. I think I'll die right here before I move again.

Heidi, you always have soooo much fun.

Evening to everybody.

 

Well, good on you for being positive. It was a lot further than 1200 miles, and mortars were for dessert

Na, you have the wrong idea of me... I'm a great salesman. Some dude came over the other night to look at one ATV helmet, ended up buying four and the riding shirts I had too. Gave the guy a beer, chatted him and his kids up... I'm a nice guy (when I'm trying to sell you something)

It's the climate and region... we are not fans of the desert southwest. The border gangs a few miles away coupled with the 120 degree weather for four-five months of the year, the dust and super dry climate... may be someone's cup of tea, but not this guy, and for sure not my wife. We're from the south, and miss it terribly. I won't complain about Yuma too much, I've been to 29 palms... THAT place is a CRAP HOLE!

We try to make the best of what we have, you know?

Ah, it's an adventure. You never know how much crap you don't need until you move... I'm getting pretty good at it, too.

Evening again. I sold a little 50 cc quad to one of my buddies... that cheap SOB paid me in a scratch off lottery ticket... It was a 100 dollar winner, but, dang man!

 

For hot smoking I prefer fresh but all I ever use for the cold smoker is frozen.
It does start off a little softer but after the pellicle forms it firms up and after it dries I can't tell the difference from fresh.
I do the cold smoking during the winter because of the 0 humidity and I can keep it cold while it dries.

This is todays batch. Lots of fresh pepper on it. Another hour with the fan than 24 hours in the smoker.

Sniff...No good pills but the cough medicine they gave me makes me see shrews on the walls.

My wife says thats a good idea but my Mom said that maybe I should just point one of the cameras at it instead.

Wife and I love that area Jan-March. Made the mistake of going through it in August.

 

Yeah, I bet you enjoyed that crap. Weather is great in the winter. Not worth it in the summer.

 

Well all y'all, time for this little cowpoke to put himself, his little doggie and DW to bed for the night. DW and I have been singing our lungs out for the past 90 mins to good country music. Now, time for head on pillow time. See everyone when the sun makes most of a trip around this big blue marble.

 

Ok so my geography ain't that good, but ya get my point ????

 

Ever got up in the middle of the night, dropped a deuce, and had a bowl of cereal because you were so hungry you felt like you could eat a big steak dinner by the time you had the fire stoked?

You sure it's the drugs and not really shrews?

 

managed to thread the needle and miss most of Q. over in alberta now. headed hm now with a 3 day run starting tomorrow...then...fingers crossed...surgery on Friday. Our daughter is getting a Bravery and Leadership award next Thurs...on our anniversary.
