Hot doggies, Christmas is almost here, gang. I cleaned the place up, put up a little tree in the corner, I did NOT hang an mistletoe - - no way, Jose. Fresh Coffee, Ph00, hot water and wonderful hot cider - - yummie - - you can smell it when you walk in. Christmas assorted goodies are on the counter. Check under the tree to see if Santa left anything for you.

OK, off to get my day up and running. Have a great one and

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!! AND TO ALL, A - - - A - - - NO, YOU CANNOT GO BACK TO BED - - - A GOOD DAY - - THERE, THAT WILL WORK.

Today's thought:
When a person assists a criminal in breaking the law before the criminal gets arrested, we call him an accomplice. When a person assists a criminal in breaking the law after the criminal gets arrested, we call him a defense lawyer.


Bob, I think when people refer to hot cider, they're talking about it's actual temperature, not the amount of cayenne pepper in it.

TOB&F today PLEASE!It DOES work!

Scotty

Greeting Scottkwa and Bobbends.

I rebuilt my drivers seat with some new foam.

Ho Ho Ho time to go.

Hanyday

Morning All!. Fantastic Tree, Thanks! The Big family gathering is today because of schedules. Kids asleep all over the house. The better Half said she expects about 20 other people today. After grumbling and playing "Walter", I finally made a huge double batch of P-nut butter cookies. You know, that made it ok. I put a plate on the counter, help yourself.

Morning all
I don't normally stop in last time I think I stepped in something, but did want to say Merry Christmas yes that right I said it and I hope it offended some Muslim somewhere .

I think Jake has peed on the tree looks a little wet over there . Have a good day.

Morning kids. Cheap trick moving the dumpster near the door. It's covering up the smell of the cider and goodies.
Going to head into town and work on the Jeep some more and let the snow pack thaw.

Afternoon, all.

Had meet and greet for Sunday School this morning, Angie made these sausage bites... ground breakfast sausage, cream cheese, bisquick, regular cheddar, formed them into *****, then baked them. They're like a sausage biscuit, but better. mmm...

Nothing much going on in the madhat world. Hope everyone has a safe and merry Christmas.

No Mo Ho.... humbug.

Hey, still smells good in here. Yummy. Good day in church and new people in my Sunday School class. Fun. The blonde arrives in less than 12 hours - - hot didgity dog. Sure missed her. Gotta be sweeter to her and let her know how special she is - - we can get forgetful and sloppy in that. Shame on us. Important.

OK, grabbing cider and out of here - - uuuhhhh, YEH - - CIDER. Ph00ey on the ph00 with cider around. .....................

Afternoon.

Evening all back over at girlfriends house for a day or so everything at my house is ready for the kids to show up at noon on Christmas day.

I heard Santa is replacing reideer with 2 5.9 Cummins to power his trip this year.

everybody have a good evening.

I'd be as likely to pay that as to buy obamacare.
Let me go buy a fax machine. Like I'd even remember what to do when they got here.
I was really tired. Can't even remember why. Probably stayed up too late Wednesday. And Tuesday. And Monday. I notice I tend to do that around the full moon. Doesn't get dark out and I don't get sleepy til I get to where I can almost hardly function.
That's easy, you live in Florida. All we need is a video camera and a live feed back to base and we just look for the spot where a house should be.

What's this under the tree? Saw gas? And a chain!! YAY! I don't have to stop at the hardware before I can cut some more firewood Wednesday. Yeah, I know, exciting, huh? I'm getting to not like the holidays more every year.

Do have a combination Christmas/New Years party to go to next week.

Went to the new bar in McCook last night. Friends I don't see much anymore were there. Captain Morgan is 4 flippin bucks but they do mix it strong. Didn't really like it but the bar maids didn't really get around the entire place too much and 2 of the 4 people behind the bar didn't do much.

Gotta go back to court tomorrow. Hopefully they don't get too mad when they only get 150 of the $373 I owe yet. I need 2 oil changes, 4 tires, a transmission service, exhaust system, chainsaw muffler, chain, and chain cover, that aren't happening because the state treats someone with a CDL as a cash cow and writes tickets in the name of "safety", when I was within 2 MPH of the speed limit the whole trip and the friggin cop that stopped me covered 3 city blocks in the time I covered one, and almost ran through a stop sign and into the nose of the truck to stop me.

Been kinda crabby lately. Think it is because of this:

Bark

Yeah, if it wasn't for G=kids and stuff I would just as soon skip most of Christmas stuff.
Now New Years is a good holiday. Bon Fires, Fireworks, Firewater and slabs of meat cooked over Fire.

I have made similar but not with the cream cheese. Sounds like its what I need to make em a little less dry and tastier.

Watched the Seahawks lose today with the kids. I tried to look unhappy.
Nothing going on here. Everybody is doing well.
Hope the rest of you are doing as good.

I forgot to mention, it being dark at 530 doesn't help, either. At least seasonal depression isn't seeming to be coming on. Two more weeks and I'll notice the days getting longer again!!!

Message me if you want the recipe, buddy!
