Good Morning-Weekend Edition

[Dotch]

My guess might be so you could make pork rinds del. That coarse hair is frowned upon in your teeth.

Just cuddling up with some tincture after a brutal day of moving snow, shoveling out the chit spreader and making sure the apron chains weren't frozen down. Got a load of screenings about 15 miles away that had been stuck in the snow for a couple weeks so that took a few hours. Had to shovel a crust of snow off the top of that. The long promised skidloader showed up so now if the sun, the moon and the stars align I should finish barn cleaning in the a.m.

After finishing chores, seeing Sessi made me chuckle. What a cute little bugger. Don't dare show Mrs. Cheviot any pictures of her or she'll want another Sheltie.

My mother rendered lard, but don't recall pork rinds.

I do recall side pork still having skin on when sliced and fried.

Good morning.  Had a decent day fishing yesterday.  Got some rainbows and one nice brown trout on Grindstone.  Windy day and got some excersise in pulling my portable to my spot.  Should have brought by wheeler but I'm glad I didn't the landing was packed and there would be no room to park the truck and the trailer.  Wore my arm out trying to start my auger until I figured out to put the on switch on. Senior moment.  Busy day today with lots of running around.  Lake time is better.  good luck.

Well my cleaning out under the Refridge and stove went ok, but my wife decided to get rid of some stuff down the garbage disposal that didn't go so well. Had to replace it, I think it may have been the Kalamata olives that were left ( quite a few), definitely gagged the disposal.

[leechlake]

my wife thinks our disposal is a wood chipper.  Seems the counter top is going to come unglued from the base cabinets some times with the torque being applied to the disposal.  Like a seen from Fargo.

Game time...kid is back to playing hockey today and his team is in the Championship bracket of a tourney and have two games today.  The Clown left his skates at the sharpening place and forgot to pick them up before they closed so we need to pull some strings to get them out of the store before they open which is after the start of his game.

Throwing a chuck roast on the smoker before we leave and probably will finish it in the crock pot after 4 hours or so in the smoker.  My favorite snow storm quote I heard yesterday from a field reporter, he was in Central Park NYC:

"we weren't expecting the snow to fall this fast."  Guess he was living in a cave the past few day.

[delcecchi]

Actually the forcast  for NYC  was, up until the last minute, for considerably less than they got. 

[leechlake]

Not in the world I live in.  My buddies daughter lives in Manhattan and that's all him and her were talking about.  Couple that with predictions for record snow, including NY and NYC and I'm calling hogwash.  Then again since I'm right and it did snow over 2 feet I still think the reported is a clown.

[Juneau4]

 Good morning to all- balmy 30 degrees and looking to maybe reach 40 today.  No jobs to do around the house today so going to go to an auction and let the wife have a day for herself (She's going shopping-yippee).

I'd bet neither of us will get any bargains. Have a good day no matter what your up to.

[bobberineyes]

Mornin all as well.  I don't get much for coffee during the week so I'm hitting it hard now . Not surewhat the day will bring but it'll be better than working. 

Probably split more wood,  although during the week had a big scare while splitting a stubborn log, the dog decided to run between me and the log at the same time I was swinging the axe , the head of the axe hit the log but the handle got the pooch in the middle of his back. After some yelping he was back to running around he's ok..Wow that was close. Well have a good day gents..

[Boar]

morning yet another grand mornig on a grand lake. 

[Bryce]

Start of the day on Winnie. Soon be light enough to throw the camera down to try and get a glimpse of my phone. I almost got 2 weeks out of it.

[leechlake]

I've been babbling on here a bit too much in the morning.  All I will say is Bobby Bass made my day yesterday and slipped me into a lakeiwantotbethere story and it was pretty funny and sly.  When I read his stuff I can almost see myself living what he rights and when he threw me in the story I had a clear picture of being right there.  He's a great writer.

[RebelSS]

Good lord...I've blown it. Slept in until 9:00 am, that's really a first. Now it's 10. Days half over. I got caught up in the gun thread. Wish more guys would start the day on the good morning thread, kinda goes well with that coffee, until ya wake up. After cup #2, gonna be some thick-sliced bacon, toast, over queasy eggs, and maybe even a toaster waffle. There's a squirrel staring at me from my spruce tree outside the window, hope he doesn't  think I stole his nuts.I have enough problems with my own. I don't need a surprise attack when I go out on the deck. Sure would like to get out ice fishing this weekend, urge is bad. O well, you guys are gonna have to do it for me. I'm getting around lately about as well as Jimmy on South Park.   Enjoy your day, guys.

Finally made 'er! Hope you're mobile again soon Reb. Got a late 7:30 start. Did chores, plucked the Christmas tree off the deck and got some "meat" out to thaw. Fed myself some oatmeal and made coffee. Watched a little TV while Ruby napped curled up beside me. Finished updating email lists. Now am watching the world's fattest fox squirrels although I saw one didn't make it back to the neighbor's last night when I came home. Must've waddled too slowly and got squashed. Bet he won't do that again. See the pheasants are going nuts at their ear corn feeder. Got a nice present from the gal who keeps the books for the seed dealer at our office. She moonlights at a hardware distribution center and gets out of code and products that don't sell. Wound up with 90+ lbs. of birder's blend mix that should keep the birds and squirrels occupied. Gopher hockey on later so better get at the honeydew projects. Plaza Morena later so looking forward to that. Mrs. Cheviot probably won't look forward to Sunday.  Ciao! 

[reinhard1]

Got two out of 5 grandkids today.  Going to take them to the movies.  Some cartoon movie.  Whipping out the wallet once more.  No empty nest syndrome around here, but that's the way we like it.  Going to put the wheeler on the trailer today for next Thursday's trip to Grindstone.  When I come back from that trip, it's staying on there.  Ready to go on a moments notice, because that's all the notice I get sometimes.  I'm determined to get more fishing time this year than last.  Tired of that guilt trip I have every time i go knowing there is stuff to do around here.  I made breakfast for everyone this morning with some home smoked Canadian bacon, onions, and eggs. Told my wife, when I was a kid in Duluth my mom took me to a place where they made a dish like this called a "Denver".  Maybe I should look it up and see if I'm missing anything but it was good.  good luck.

Must be a squirrelly kind of day. I had a tailless squirrel at the bird feeder, then a pure white one, black one and 2 greys chasing each other in the maple...pretty cool. Have to look closely but you can see all four in the top pic.

[RebelSS]

An albino, a melanistic, a tailless....you live near a nuclear plant?! 

[delcecchi]

Reb, you ever ice fish chester woods park?

[RebelSS]

Nope. I can't walk any distance, or pull/carry anything, or I'd be all over every reservoir. That's why I'm stuck here.

Mornin people,  the bobber house hold has been up for a while with the Java flowing. The Mrs slapped on the apron and whipped up some toasted bagels with egg, pepper jack cheese, avocado bacon and sausage. ...have a great day!!

[lovebigbluegills]

Looks great Bobber!!!

Good morning all!!!

I've been up for a bit too-- started the coffee about 6, then monkeyed around in the garage for a while after I got the fire going. The wife and i mixed up and stuffed 20lbs of snack sticks yesterday, and i brought those over to the neighbors at 8 for him to smoke (he's got a big smoker made out of an old commercial refrigerator or freezer and has a rack in there for hanging), way easier than trying to do it in my 30" masterbuilt.

Back home for a bit now, gonna eat breakfast and maybe haul some wood in, before I head back to the neighbors around 10 or so.

After the sticks are bagged up, I'll find something to do outside for the afternoon. Maybe go cut some wood.

Have a great day everybody!!!
