Good Morning!

[bobberineyes]

Thanks reb , nuttin  like a good night of sleep . It sure is nice getting outside doing the mess around but ya Lindell we sure get a little sore. Those are going to be some awesome burgers lbbg,  and 74 to boot!! With another porky in the brine...awesome . Turned up the garden yesterday witch went really well, kinda surprised , picked up some veggie seeds and some of rebs secret grass seed so let's get the growing season started!!!!   Oh yeah,  the frigging sparrows have already taking up residence in the house...oh well.

it's far from morning but I've held out long enough.  I need new tires on my truck.  Frankly, I've needed them for a while but now that we have three rigs around here I don't drive my truck a lot but with Spring and Summer coming up I will be driving up to the cabin a lot. 

It's tough, the ones I have now are cool looking and/or were when they had some tread on them.  They are so loud though that I can't even hear the cat calls from the ladies which is counterproductive.  My dilemma is I'm three years older than when I got the tires so I'm thinking I need to get even cooler tires to compensate.  Presently I have Hankcok Dynapros something 285/55R 20 inchers.  I think I'm going to step them up a notch at least it will be different road noise.  Other option is to get some old man tire like Del would get that is super quite, mechanically efficient but look awful.  

Oh well, I will call the best tire store in the world in Corcoran tomorrow and see what they suggest.  It's on the edge of farm country so sometimes they are working on a tractor.  Makes me feel like I live where I want to.

I can't help it. It's the engineer in me. I can't buy dumb tires that don't work just to look cool.

But I did get a picture of the next truck you can get to really look cool.

Sitting in the driveway of a multi million dollar house on the water in LA Jolla Shores.  Texas plates.

Ayup, now there's something that makes a lot of sense: a brush bar on a vehicle with less than 8" ground clearance....with street tires and rims. Kinda like a wing and hood scoop on those little toy Hondas. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......

[LindellProStaf]

Must be a drug lord friend of Del's.  lolol   You would look cool in that LL.    I got those Hancooks Dynapros for my knock around truck and they are great in the snow.  When I drag round bales out for the horses they work great.  Didn't even need to use the Ol' 1951 Allis WD all winter due to low snow levels.  The chinese sounding name does not go well with my made in America program though.  So the middle aged crazys are kicking in huh LL?  I've been there still doing it. 

[delcecchi]

Nope, don't know anyone with that kind of money.   Just walk by the houses....and the Ferrari dealer, and..nearly get run over by teslas.  

 

[LindellProStaf]

Del you might want to be careful who and what you take pictures of down there.  They may think you are 60 Minutes and you know as they say, "it is never good when 60 Minutes comes calling".

[delcecchi]

I'm old enough to be on 60 minutes. 

 

[bobberineyes]

Paparazzi!!!!

[delcecchi]

Got a picture of Reb's chair overlooking the water.

I ran a twenty-eight on those plates, and they belong to someone with the last name of "Escobar". See ya around, Del. 

[LindellProStaf]

Thanks Reb.  I was just trying to help Del stay out of trouble.  People go on vacation to places like Cabo thinking it is safe.  Those are the same places the Drug Lords hang out.  Wouldn't you if you had a wad of cash?  So DEL BE CAREFUL.  Everyone isn't Minnesota nice.

[RebelSS]

No prob, LPS.    He'll be wondering why those barrel cactus seem to be moving around out front....and why Pedro the waiter is staring him down...

[lovebigbluegills]

Meanwhile, at Dotch's place......

HAHAHAHA! 

[lovebigbluegills]

Just you wait buddy... I've got a ton more now that you told me how to get them on here.

[leechlake]

Wasn't Del the one saying wild rice was grass?  Everything he thinks about is grass...drug dealers think that way.

I want to give Rebellss a pat on the back for starting this thread. It reminds me of a never ending story at a gas station or a bait shop where every time someone comes in the door the conversation changes. For the few who complain about the dribble written here it is not written for you but for the people who interact and have some good fun poking at each other. I don’t think anything here can be called off topic because that is just what the topic of the day is here, that and of course what you are having breakfast. I was busy today and just now I got on, first place I went was to Good Morning..

[RebelSS]

Thanks, Bobby. You described exactly what I intended it to be. Know why? I got tired of starting my day, sitting here after a rough nite, with my cup of coffee, and reading news of more murders, accidents, etc.  You can't judge someone until you know what their life entails, and what works for them. Nothing I love more than laughing.  (My ribs run a close second, though) If I can pass that around a bit, and get  laughs in return, that's great. Best way I know of to start the day. By the way, I think RH mentioned it somewhere on here, about the movie Alone in the Wilderness...anywho, it's on channel 15, KSMQ, Austin, Mn, off and on all this week. Just recorded it, the original full length of Richard Proennoke's story. Catch it if ya can. Keep up the laughs guys; you never know who you may be helping to smile.  

[RebelSS]

Boy, sure is quiet and dark for a Monday......Dotch must be out countin' sheep...LL suckin' down cawfee and daydreaming already....lbbg and the rest dreaming of giant smoked and stuffed patties....  Looks like a dreary week. Rain, fog, sleet, snow, drizzle, snizzle. They miss anything? I need to come up with something for supper...I'm wiped out as far as ideas, and want to use what's on hand. I did well on stocking the freezer to last until Spring, about 3 lbs hamburger left, 4-5 pks chicken, 2 pks pig chops, a small ham, bag of shrimp....and RH's wunnerful sausage. That's it.Only thing I bought all winter was chicken. Might have to make some of my fried rice and toss in a few of those shrimp. Reb's Rice-a-Roni Roulade. Have a couple big chicken breasts thawing out. Plan on soaking a bit in some lime juice, rubbing with some Mexican seasoning, and after melding, cook 'em topped with chunky salsa and shredded cheddar. Too bad I don't have some Mexican Rice-a-Roni for a side dish..... Have a good Monday, guys....

I used to love Mondays and I think that was because I'm a contrarian and wanted to love something everyone else seemed to hate.  Besides since Monday's happen anyway may as well make the best of it.  I'm back to loving Mondays and I think The Big Man upstairs had something to do with it, it's too complex to explain here so I will leave it at that.

Yesterday I waited in line at Cub behind a gal in a wheelchair.  We were at the "convenience" aisle and all I needed to do was get my old Cub receipts put on the gas card thing.  Thanks to you guys and another friend of mine I stood there like a statue as people behind us became upset.  She was buying some heaters and the clerk had to get her money out of her wallet and there was a lot of confusion.  After the transaction there was discussion about recent visits to the casino. It was apparent to me that this trip to Cub was the "event" of the day for the gal.  Eventually it was my turn and I got my business done.

Here's the bonus.  When I went out to my car the day seemed nicer, I had a spring in my step, the world was my oyster. If I got angry that wouldn't have happened, actually just the opposite.  Happy Monday fellers!!!

This morning at Dotch's, a halftime interview with the captain of team Bucks.....

[LindellProStaf]

Good morning to all of you.  Yup it is a gray day here too.  A few vehicles went through the lake this weekend. I heard 2 went all the way in and another 4 or 5 got hung up and only partly through. No open water at my place yet.  I give it 2 days till at least a little is open in the middle.  Like Carly Simon said, "Anticipation", I think it was her.  Hey LL good restraint on your part.  "Patience" is what Guns and Roses says.... Think of how tough each day is for people not as fortunate as us.  I think of that often. Helps my attitude at times too.  

Well I grilled chicken quarters that I got on sale on my Daniel Boone pellet stove last night.  Did them at 350 for an hour and 10 minutes.  Had them covered with Tatonka Dust on the top side and Cajun Seasoning on the bottom side.  Never even flipped them.  Turned out great.  Took them off in the nick of time.  Should have done a pic for you.  Will try to get into that more. I sure like looking at your pics so I should do it too.

Ok LL, the dreaming program now.  I kept dreaming last night that I got a great hunting spot in some woods with two trails that intersected.  I can still picture it.  I do dream in color.  Old friends are often in my dreams too.  Sometimes people who aren't with us anymore.  Well I was trying to decide if I should make another plywood 4' x 6' blind with 6' legs or get one of those new ones with the long legs and the fiberglass shelter on top.  I like to take my wife with me sometimes so was wondering if we would both fit in the new one?  She just started coming hunting with me at times about 3 years ago.. It is great!   I always seem to get the deer on the day she doesn't come along though.  Darn. Ok so now I wondering how much those blinds cost and how easy they are to move.  I even have the guys at work wondering about them too.  May have been an expensive dream.  

Boar, like I said I love spaghetti and now all I can think about is making a batch.  I have a hard time making a small batch.  I usually use 2 or 3 lbs of burger and go from there.  I like big chunks of burger in mine and lots of sauce with onions garlic etc.  I can eat it for 3 days or more without getting tired of it.  The wife can't make it that long.  I think we will have leftover chicken tonight and the spaghetti tomorrow.  AND  all of that Parmesan on it looks great.  Don't you feel good to have conquered one of your fears?  You are a better person for it.  

Ok this is long enough, always a pleasure and will check in later for more "Good Mornings"

Good morning all, just a gloomy rainy day here in the burg. I though the joke went why do sheep farmers wear the over sized boots ??
