Now don't quote me.....Brownie chunks.....chocolate pudding and cool whip make up that spessshull desert....I call it "Bad Memory Puddin' ".....Time wasn't something she would spend on cooking...just throw it together...Try as I might I couldn't make her grasp the low and slow style I've perfected....

Water in the basement....I watched for years as my Dad siphoned Mom's basement with a hose...It's a below grade basement and such but the grade drops pretty fast too a creek between our houses..When Dad passed and draining the basement became my job....well I ain't got time for no dang hose...I waited for rain and marked the lowest spot with a brick...When the water receded I cut a trench in the concrete with my trusty body shop air hammer...One catch basin and drain pipe later....No hose required...Pretty soon that repair will be twenty years and still holding....

50* now and a high of 49* tomorrow....Still raining....

Congrats to the Niners and Wharf!!!! Woot woot!!! Playoff bound baby!!!! Yeah! I cannot help but hear in my head, "Montana to Rice for the touchdown!!!!" :) That was some fantastic football.

Rice was commentator on last nights game and they showed some clips from his days. No matter how good a QB is without good receivers they get no where and Rice was one of the greats.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!!!

43* outside....Not real happy about that but I know many would love it to be 43*...Not adequate for me....

I'll pause a minute later and visit the grave sites of those not with me this holiday season...I miss them more on this day than any other...

9ers are in as they should be...I feel the Hawks should be as well and hope they make it...The Raider Nation will ride with either....9ers preferred....Dennis Allen's staff has come to the end of their contracts...Allen asked for extensions and was denied by Raider owner mark Davis...Word in the Raider Nation is "Chucky" wants to come home...We're 69 million under the cap and will pick no lower than 8th in the draft...A dismal season ends against the Donkies...Trust we don't have any love for no Donkey....I gotta go and call Chucky....

I'm not very good at rooting. I rooted for the Seahawks to beat the Cards and they lost. So next week I'm rooting for the Seahawks again. If things go the way they usually do for me, the Rams will win. If the '9ers do what they are supposed to do, we get a 1st round bye and don't have to play in Seattle ! (scared to play there :blink:)

Sorry 5er...... it's my job :blush:

Are you for hire, Dee? :laugh: Our basement has spots on 3 sides where the water comes in. I marked them as best I could last time it flooded and smushed a sheet ton of waterproof sealant in those areas. Fortunately the rain stopped, very little water in the basement, and it's stopped coming in. Some of the patches held, some it just seeped in around. I have no illusions that when the pressure builds up behind those spots, the seals will blow out.

Beautiful sunny 40* outside right now! I'll take it even if I could stand just a tad warmer.

Merry Christmas Eve my wonderful virtual family!!!
