Thanks for fighting in the Revolutionary War, Lary... we depend on old timer's like you!


Really though, my hat is off to the men and women that made this Country free... they paid with their blood, and the tears, hope and prayers of their families... in my house, you sacrifices did not go in vain.

Semper FI!!!!! MARINE CORPS!!!!!!!!

 

Thats just about perfect for me.
Thanks for all you guys and gals who are serving or have served and for those who might not have gone in but support our military even though you might not agree with some of the fronts we are fighting on (had to add that because I remember there actually being a few very good (but misguided IMOP) people during Vietnam who didnt like us being there but would fight to the death for our guys who were).
WoW! That was long winded.
Ummm, to summarize : Thanks again.

Some problems at the old folks home have been keeping me busy but now I am putting 30lbs of pork ribs in brine to start smoking tommorrow for Monday. They are going to be good. Also making mashed cauliflower to bake with cheese. Its good for people with Bsugar problems and tastes good when done right. Sigh, all I get tonight is a frozen corn dog but will make up for it on Monday.

 

Morning to the gang. Coffee is ready along with ph00 and some home baked banana bread. Get that ph00 before the sadistic Canuck gets here.

I add my thanks to all who have served in the services - - your sacrifice does not go unnoticed - - we appreciate you. You too HardHat.

OK, off for breaky and get ready for church. Ya'll have a good holiday.

Bob

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished.

 

Morning boys and girls. Have a great long weekend and hope you all survive the effects of over eating and over drinking.

Have had a smattering of rain here in Paradise, but only enough to consolidate the dust on the vehicles into muddy messes. Lots of thunder and lightening at times, but they are only threats. Everything is very brown and dusty here now.

 

Catching up from last week:

That's because the value has dropped like a stone, keep fighting.

Happy Birthday! Isn't this like the 12th time you've turned 49?

Hey!!!!!!!

I'm so glad I was finished with my coffee. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
