Good Morning!

[leechlake]

I think next time my wife cleans the garage I will call Dotch.  Do you know how much dog hair accumulates from three dogs in a year blowing around in the garage.  Probably 2 sheeps worth.  If we could market lab's wool instead of lamb's wool I'd be rich.

RH- my neighbor has just rented a dumpster some times instead of the garage sale.  I can't seem to bite the bullet but I think that's the ultimate garage solution.

Smurfy- I'm pretty sure I'm in second place in wishing I never brought something up, namely the fish fiasco.  First place is that guy that brought up his neighbor lady.  His name slips my mind right now...

 

That ain't a "guy"...That's an indeterminate miniature species that dances in the woodlands among the polka-dotted mushrooms...and smokes pipe bowls of strange stuff...

When I cleaned out my father-in-laws house I filled two 40 yd dumpsters.  I thought one was big enough.  Wrong.  They lived in Brooklyn Park.  I put stuff out on the lawn it was gone fast.  I am thinking about it though.  My daughters keep saying just wait one more year.  I have a big garage and I want it back.  good luck.

[smurfy]

I know Bloomington has one of those weekends set up where you can set out your stuff free for the taking. whats the phrase??????? one mans junk is another mans treasure.

hey mr cookie monster......................your the one that started it by mentioning the neighbor lady bringing her cookies over to your house!!!!!!!! so what.....I may just remind ya once in a while!!!!!!!!!!

hey..........that melding..........of posts is kinda cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

[leechlake]

I'm thinking the neighbor lady could help with the new computer hook up.  Always good to have a second set of hands with the set up.  You've got to get everything hooked into the right port usually in a tight cramped space under a desk.  You try to plug it in on your hands and knees and then have to stand up and look at the screen to see it you did it correctly.  With one of you plugging it in and the other looking at the screen I could see this being a pretty easy task.

Also, the conversation would be terrific.  Of course you'd probably have to make her supper as a thank you.  I've got a venison meatloaf recipe that many women just love.  Let me know and I will post it.  Good luck to the two of you Reb and let us all know how it goes.

Boy, comedy in stereo....Tom and Jerry. Snoop and Blab. Daffy and Porky. The 'puter hook-up is as follows: Desktop outlet...Plug in  *CLICK* Ethernet plug *CLICK* Hit power button. All systems go.  After 20 years of the neighbor lady living behind me, I can understand why she's single. She'd be a shoo-in for "People of Walmart". Quite the fashion trend setter. Walked by with her two cats the other day...purple pants, pink sweater, and a bright orange jacket and stocking cap with a big white ball on top. Looked like a fire hydrant on LSD. No mistaking her for a deer. After all the times she's asked for advice, it's obvious she's not quite dialed in. Asked for advice last year about the brand new car she bought...she'd waxed it in the sun with BOAT wax, and let it sit in the sun all day. Someone "at work'' (so she said) told her ya haveta let the wax "bake in", and boat wax is best. Now she couldn't get the wax to come off. I told her to go watch The Karate Kid for waxing tips. Told her remember to change that oil soon on a brand new car, then about every 3,000 miles. She just laughed and said the salesman told her she doesn't need to do anything until she hits 8,000 miles. Ayup. Sure. I foresee more auto-related questions in my future....

Some morning so far.....  Didn't sleep much last nite, then get woke up early by an obviously pre-recorded message in SPANISH blasting out of my answering device that lasted forever. Got up, and finally figgered out it was from Dell, not San Diego Del, but the computer company. WTH? Did I order in Spanish? I can say "uno burrito, por favor gracias"  and that's about it, besides when asked about Smurfy's brain, " Un poquito"  Put the cawfee on, and went on-line to check status of my computer, just what I wanted to do with one eye half open. Ended up with an online chat person named salweeh wangdooey or something, who chatted my order never went through. Gave them my confirmation #, the E-mail copy of it went thru, delivery date,receipt, production etc etc. Was told to call or chat with the "order troubleshooting" branch. She was nice; just felt not very informed. Decided I'll just call my good ol' Dell sales person Sai back (I had asked his extension in case of probs like this) he confirmed it went through; it's "in production" right now, being made. "There is no problem, Mr. Mark, it is in production" "Thank you for calling Dell and have a good day, sir". Well glad that's all solved. Now I have a headache to go with the tired aching body.

Boy, good thing you didn't buy an Apple.

HAHAAHAHAHAAAAAA!

Here's another important phrase you ought to know in Spanish--- uno mas cerveza por favor

[leechlake]

They are pretty expensive and we bought a Macbook Pro about 4 years ago and after a little adjustment period I all but ditched my office PC.  No pop up issues, virus issues, and all our other products from Apple benefit from us having one.    Backups and restore etc.  Frankly I think if you bought the cat's meow PC with every bell and whistle you'd have what a normal Mac just comes with.  Not to mention look at the quality stuff it types out to you guys all the time!

your just now seeing that smurf? hope you dont throw a spear as slow as you think, wait you must.

Im embarking on a smoking venture this weekend, Ive got 2 bear shoulder submersed in apple cider for 3 days, and i have to cold smoke some bacon for a guy. fun fun fun. oh and paint the bathroom.

[RebelSS]

Jeez, no one else up?? And I slept in until 7:30...*moan*  Had dreams last nite of east Indian people chasing me with laptops in their hands, shouting "but Mr. Mark, would you  like the three-year extended warranty? It comes with one year of free slushie refills at your Kwikee mart, please ask for me, I am Apu"....".thank you for calling Dell have a good day sir"      *GAAAAAAAA*  Worried that my order DIDN'T go thru, as I don't trust anyone, kept checking the page occasionally yday. Kept saying it was "in production",,,but Fed-ex called me at 2:00 PM, and said I have a pkg coming from Tennessee that needs to be signed for as it's over a certain $$$ amount. Dell page at 9:00 PM said it's still in production.....maybe Apu and those southern folks accents finally clashed, creating a black hole. O well, it will be here today. Sunny and 29* out, breezy. Mid 40's this weekend. May do a Cornish hen on the grill in a pan, have one left over from the two-pack that was my Thanksgiving dinner. Never tried it yet. I'll leave ya with a laugh...So anyway, this therapist has the idea that couples that make love once  a day are the happiest people .So, at a seminar, he asks "how many couples make love once a day?" Half of the crowd raise their hands, grinning widely. "Once a week?" A third raise their hand, grinning much less. "Once a month?" A few hands go up, with no grins on their faces. Then he asks "OK, just once a year?" One man in the back jumps up and down, waving his hands, and grinning widely. This shocks the therapist; does it disprove his theory? he asks the man ''if you do it only once a year, why are you so happy?" The man yells "Todays the day!!"    Have a good one, guys. Call up Dell and say "Hi" to Apu.

Wow! I usually get someone who tries to "Americanize" their name by saying it's Peeeter or Samuelle. I know their real name is probably Dogleash but I try to humor them. All I can think of is Babu Bhatt on Seinfeld. You berry bad man!

Oh where was I? CHORES are long done but they're getting more involved. Another set of twins so that makes 4 sets of those. One ewe lamb out of the bunch so far so looks like it's making up for all those years when we'd run streaks of 10 - 12 ewe lambs in a row, Live streamed the big upset game last night as our neighbor girl atoned for her TO error and won it for the Gophers over #5 Ohio State in OT. Office pest was a no-show so that has made today bearable. Was careful not to imbibe too much tincture last night. Luckily Mrs.Cheviot has taken the after midnight shift so I can focus on sleeping once again. Otherwise, this is some actual footage of me the morning after. 

  

[RebelSS]

HAHAHAHHAAA!    I just hope my Dell guy (his real name is "Sai" ) doesn't send Gurkha warriors armed with bejeweled scimitars after me for poking fun at him..........

[reinhard1]

Great stuff guy's.  Nothing much here today.  Taking Lucy for a walk again.  Really like those walks and I know she looks forward to them.  Looking forward more to my time with her in the boat.  A friend of mine gave me a recipe for what should be called a ABT sausage.  ABT's in the smoking world are sometimes called Atomic Buffalo Turds.  Jalapeno peppers commonly stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon.  So I look at his recipe and see no bacon.  What's up with that!!  Oh ya, he says.  Well I told him I like the rest of the ingredients and we should work in some crispy cooked bacon.  I'm going to try a 10 pound batch and show him what I come up with.  He's got cream cheese on his recipe and I'm going with high temp cheese.  Other ingredients are salt, black pepper, fresh cilantro, cumin , garlic, chopped onions, white wine, water, and 10 seeded fresh jalapeno peppers which I will blanch first.  Have to decide if I'm going to smoke, poach, or make it fresh.  Think I'll add some powdered milk to this as well.  I like trying new stuff and this could be tasty.  good luck.

[RebelSS]

RH, I like to mix some chopped chives instead of the onions into the cream cheese first....then add all the other stuff you listed. But , whatever works for ya. Makes 'em look pretty. They go on my deviled eggs, too...along with some dill weed. Use plenty of bacon.

Big hockey night last night.  My son's team was up 1-0 in a playoff game and other team scored with 4 seconds left to tie it.  In overtime a defenseman who hasn't scored all year buried one for the win.  Kids went nuts since they've been attempting to get him to score in some lopsided wins all year.  He ends up scoring the biggest goal of the year so far.  Fun stuff for sure.

Big dust up on the work front is looming on the horizon.  Can't say much about it here but sometimes a little excitement can fuel a guy for a while.  Seems someone made some bad choices and he's a jack wagon to begin with so that makes it easier.

State HS Hockey Tournament is coming up.  Besides hunting and fishing related times it may be my favorite time of the year.  My son may make the All Hockey Hair Team segment in a capacity of some sorts, he's pretty geared up.

[Dotch]

Made the trek home after my prime rib sammich at The Willows. Horseradish had some kick to it. Can feel my ear and nose hair growing as I type.  Anyways, checked the lambing barn to see what was up in there. Nothing except one ewe that hadn't lambed trying to claim one from another ewe that had. Little ewe lamb had managed to crawl out of a gap. Bugger is an escape artist. Got that under control and snapped some quick photos. The lambs do not sit still as you can see in some of them. Future lamb chops! 

 

[bobberineyes]

Rh, we love our walks as well,  usually up early on the weekends and walking the dog when the sun isn't quite up yet. That sausage thought sounds great,  reb hopefully Jim Carrey isn't the one delivering your new puter,  booting it all the way up to the door.  LL that's great they won , those are the kind of games us parents leave a little grayer. Lol. Dotch, I sure am a city slicker,  my youngest would already have them little ones named....and putting them on the table wouldn't fly, unless I lied and told them it's something else..

[leechlake]

Dotch

whats the lamb score?  I had it 5-0 bucks over ewe lambs but it sounds like it's changed?  Thanks.
