I wonder if the CC&Rs call out "Bass Boat", or boats in general?  If they call out boats are ships ok?  Maybe they say trailers?  If you remove tires is it still a trailer or is it just a platform and are platforms ok?  Or is it just no "stuff" in side yard?  That would be simplest way to do it, but then you could just call it "art" and then it would be ok.  Remember one man's art is another man's trash, or is it treasure?  Also, is the house with the offending, jealous inducing, boat on the street, next door, or just in the neighborhood?  So many unanswered questions.

We have to repopulate the world after the coronapalpyse, pickles a very prescient purchase.

HAHAHAHAHA! I Don't think that is the case. At least I hope not. I'm 40. That's too damn old to chase kids around.

Her explanation was that she hadn't been able to get Claussen's for months. I asked "No pickle chips?"...I'm sure we'll have 3 jars of those soon

Let me check if that homemade submarine is still available on Craigslist. No way HOA has thought about someone owning a submarine.

Interesting tool. Silly me, at first I thought it must take great skill to sharpen grinder blade on bench grinder

Thanks. Had a great lunch, I made cole slaw and SIL made SD buns...

Made some breakfast enchiladas for brunch. My FIL passed a few years ago and they always went to brunch to celebrate. With COVID around and the buffets closed I tried to make up for it. This recipe is a keeper.

This cat adopted me about a month ago. Found her under the hood of my 4Runner after a gym visit. 4 miles and up to 45 MPH, don’t know how she made it to our house but she did.

Awesome spread!

Now you need to make a necklace out of the teeth and a spear from the skull.  Or at least a totem.

This will reface the plates as well.

Trying my first attempt at gumbo. We shall see how this turns out.

SWMBOs Uncle’s kitchenaid is back in action. I had to ask what and the hell he was doing to shred these cast gears. It’s typically the nylon failsafe gear that goes. His answer “Grinding 20 lbs of sausage”! Dude...you need a meat grinder or at least a bigger kitchenaid 🤣

Right.  Excessive load. These kitchenaids are not commercial tools, even if they say "Professional" on them.  Doesn't take much to smell the insulation on the motor either.   Once you start wearing down the gears, the grit only accelerates the wear.

I'm not saying I don't like them, I love mine.  But yeah, not designed for continuous duty under heavy load.

Going to check if it’ll work with my vintage Moulinex electric grinder.

This one is a classic plus 275 watt. I wouldn’t do 20 lbs of sausage with my Professional 600.

I’ve been appreciating Miller Lite ever since I damn near got Piney kicked out of Dan Nicholas Park at BB19 over leaving some sitting on his dog’s cabins porch 😂

True, but we live on a quiet short cul de sac, trick or treaters prefer roads with more houses for better ROI.  Even before COVID, for many years we’ve been lights out, after the year when less than five little ones dropped by.

I've put at least 20 lbs of sausage/chili beef thru my KitchenAid, and it's only an "Artisan" (albeit 5 or less lbs at a time).  
That didn't sound like a heavy load to me, at all.
