Good tip

[leechlake]

This may be a good one for you Grandpas but anyone can use it.  My daughter and I were brainstorming something to do years ago and we decided to go to Target and we bought inexpensive plastic bowls and ice cream and all the fixings.  We then went home and everyone got a bowl and we had a bunch of Sharpies and everyone decorated their bowl how they wanted.  We called it "Sundae Sundays".

I'm a terrible artist but the girls were pretty good and my son did an admirable job.  It's a great little activity and who doesn't like ice cream?  You can do it for girlfriends, wives, kids, grandkids and obviously neighbor friends also.  You can find the bowls for a buck or two and it takes years for the Sharpie to wash off the bowl.  Go get em fellas, you'll be a hero.

Cute idea.

And here's another good, very important tip...keeping yer marriage happy. With all the recipes and smoked foods on here, there's bound to be some poor air quality issues, or as LL is pointing out that someone may have, "intermittent explosive disorder". Now, there's something to wipe those worries away, and keep you and that significant other happy, without having to resort to those cumbersome and silly looking gas masks, or being banned to sleeping on the couch. Behold, the magic marriage blanket....

good point and I wish I could pull up an old FM post I wrote on carbon suits.  It was some class A writing that proved that carbon suits basically absorb odors at the plant and become saturated.  Putting them in the inadequate heat of a dryer does not recharge them.  The heat required to "recharge" the suit would burn the suit as though it was in my grill for five days on high.  

For me and our King sized bed the wife sleeps so far away I'm not sure smell molecules can travel that far.  Also, I can blame a dog.  Everyone needs their own solution but this is an excellent point on keeping things happy.  Thanks Reb.

Bake her a rhubarb cake.  She will think you slaved for hours instead of 10 minutes of prep, and an hour of drinking beer and playing on the computer while it bakes.

She makes rhubarb cake and she can't cook so she knows the ease

[delcecchi]

Oh snap.

As long as we're on the subject, any of you big sportsman headed to the sports show tomorrow or this weekend? 

[leechlake]

hijack alert.

Man they must not promote this very well.  I didn't even know it was going on this weekend.  Haven't been to it in years and it's right near our warehouse.  

[RebelSS]

I was hoping Del was gonna run up there and spend some of his money, so I could ride along and slobber over all the new boats and gear.  I'd even pack some of those PBJ school lunches.

I spose all the mods have to take turns at the hso booth reb, you handing out t-shirts?

[leechlake]

good point bobber...I guess they aren't trying to attract young women to the cite or they'd have asked Bobber and I to come and bring our labs.

[RebelSS]

Sure am, bobber. HSO logo, with "Tune in to Rockin' Reb on the Morning thread".

I heard LPS and his wife are banned from the RV/Camper section at the show due to their recent activities in their new camper.  Can't trust em.  

[delcecchi]

sport show?  I thought it was over.   I would be interested.  

[RebelSS]

I also noted that no Smurf costumes will be allowed this year at the kiddie pool "catch a fish" pond, as last year it turned into quite a fiasco with a drunken Smurf wading in and out and scaring fish and children alike.

For $24 in additon to  the food up there, (usually $6 for a burger, $5 for brat, $4 for a cup of pop) I can go wander around Fleet Farm, then go to the boat dealer, take myself out to lunch, buy a big bag of beef jerky, AND have enough  money left over to buy supper. Those prices are insane.
