    We're in the mid to high 70's...in the first week of March. I don't like how this is shaping up.

    Well, amid all the frustration, I'm really proud of my team. They have seriously stepped up, and are doing a great job given all the issues we have had with contractors and suppliers and such. And as usually happens in tough times, I am seeing some of the quiet, under-the-radar types distinguish...

    Bye the way...hi, all. The move is utter pandemonium. I still have 150,000 square feet of material on the floor....racks are going up in the new half of the building, but not nearly quickly enough. The racking installers are falling behind. We are trying to move 28 trailer loads a day, and...

    You could always flunk 'em all immediately and get back inside where it's warm and dry! :evil:

    I'm sorry to hear this, Stretchy. I agree with FV on this one. I don't think keeping news like this from kids is sparing them anything except perhaps the chance to process the loss more gradually. I think youre right about preparing a little bit. I hope he gets all the love and support he...

    No, no.... We can reminisce without risking smoking again. Out of curiosity, I took a drag off of my son's cigarette a couple of years ago, and I spit for 10 minutes. However, I still love the smell of a good cigar, and I miss enjoying one myself now and then.

    I'd be happy with a 45/50 in the wind! Honestly, Id be happy with that in NO wind. I never shot a lot of trap, but I used to go shoot a couple of rounds before the start of bird season and I think that would have been about as good as I ever did. Sometimes I miss smoking, and especially a good...

    Good morning! I got a pickup truck in the mail too, and took it for a spin this morning. LOVE this!

    Actually, that was the rule in my house when I was a kid, too. I had one sister who spit out everything they gave her, and I told her after we were grown that she ruined more mealtimes than famine ever did. She sat for HOURS sometimes when the rest of us had mercifully finally finished eating...

    You must have been raised by the same kind of people who raised me. "This is dinner. Eat it...or starve." None of us are picky eaters as a result. :D I live within 15 miles of no less than THREE Amazon DC's. I can get almost anything free shipping next day with Prime. It's amazing. Also if...

    Well, the rest of my crew makes me omit the pickle, which I like, but they don't. :grr:

    I thought the traditional way was to make the rolls, then simmer (I should have said boil, actually) it in water...? The way I learned to make it from my 2nd-gen-from the old country ex-wife's family was to brown it in a hot skillet, then our water over it and simmer it covered. However, they...

    Hooray and nice shootin'! Are you shooting trap, skeet, or sporting clays? 50 max sounds like skeet, but its been a long time, so I probably disremember. I bought my kid a few rounds of sporting clays for Christmas at a place in North Carolina near where he lives. He's never shot sporting...

    Yay for roasting beans! Can I have some? I cooked rolladin, and am now remembering why I cook it so rarely. If I could only learn to love it like the Germans do it, WITHOUT browning in a hot skillet first. Those suckers boil everything. I should have done it with hot German-style "potato...

    Wow, what a transformation. That is beautiful! And good Saturday morning everyone. I am back from the (nearly) dead. That stupid cold or flu or whatever it was kicked me around for a week. I took one day off work then went back for the rest of the week, but I was hitting on about two cylinders...

    Oh, yeah. Wouldn't be the same unless you started it with "hold my beer".
