Oh Raynes what I wouldn't give for some of that homemade bread,YUM! We have one of those bread machines but it doesn't come close to the bread my Mother use to make but it's still better than store bought. Irish Soda Bread is our fave out of the machine and if I weren't so lazy this morning I would go fire that thing up. I guess I will just have to live vicariously through you this morning. Saw the Power Company Trucks on the way to taking my Daughter to school this morning so with a little luck we will have power today and I can shut off the over worked generator until the next storm. Living up here in the mountains if you don't have a good generator you would freeze your tush off, we loose power if they even talk about a storm... Good Morning all and thanks for making the High Octane Coffee Raynes...
Yes it does,Shelly uses my Grandmother's recipe. Nothing says love like homemade bread IMO.There's nothing like homemade bread, it's better than cake. When I was a kid and the family got together, everyone gathered in the kitchen to have coffee and my grandma's homemade bread. So it not only tastes wonderful, it brings back good memories.
They sure don't cut you any slack especially if your from another state. Glad you made it home safe and sound Uncle just sorry you got a ticketGotta check that rearview mirror BEFORE you pass, Uncle. You are helping some "local economy" though it is unfortunate that you're stuck doing it.
Morning Rave,it was my pleasure to make coffee this morning,usually someone else has it made before I get home. I hope your feeling better.
If we depended on the county around here nothing would get done. We have to mow their right of ways so we can see the road,the lazy jokers. Personally I think everyone needs a generator and keep kerosene lamps,plus having a grill if its where you can.
BTW I love your avi.

A big WELCOME to SPOON.
Good afternoon, y'all. Homemade bread sounds great; that would really hit the spot for sure. Glad to hear from everyone safe and sound post-Sandy.![]()
I am SOOOO envious I haven't seen not ONE deer in my backyard and you have FAWNS !!! No turkeys --nothing except squirrels and doves.
What makes it so bad is I feed them too !!! Here I was up at 3am with binoculars quiet as a mouse no coffee nothing not even a vape hoping to see them. Nope nada.
Morning Semi, I brought some home made bread by its still warm,some real butter,home made jellies and preserves,there's fruit in the fridge.
Main thing COFFEE IS READY !!! First pot has triple shots of Expresso the other pot just strong coffee

Heh that's me right now. Had Halloween off got a cold, next day off is 10 days away. Meh at least the pay check will be nice.
Oh and hi! I'm new here finally to the point I can post in most of the forums now. My name is Jay, but its Spoon to just about everyone. I'm an electrical engineer in the fibre optics business.
Anyway back to work I'm sure that I'm late for some random meeting.

You didn't make me feel bad at all, I just wonder what I'm doing wrong. It may still be too warm here its in the 70's and we still have a lot of green leaves and stuff. I sure would love to visit you sometime maybe we could camp out.Aw maaan! I didn't mean to make ya feel bad. Well, I guess that just means that you'll have to come visit me sometime. We've got quite a few deer right now. If it makes you feel better, I hardly ever see them if I'm actually looking for 'em.
So I'm guessing he's taking a rain check on dinner?I thoroughly grossed out my son today - which is actually almost impossible. That is, unless you're having a can of spinach for dinner.![]()

Today was a good training day. Having a little trouble with Zanne wanting to rear when I ask her to back. So what I did was groom her and apply pressure to her chest until I felt her lean back. When the lesson was completed she had backed a total of three steps at various times. I'll take it. Everything ended on a positive note. Think I've just about brushed all the gray out of her coat though with all the grooming it took just to get those three steps. GEESH
