OT - What are you doing right now?

We bought plants this morning.   SWMBO tore out the old raised bed yesterday, was getting overgrown and ratty.  She planted this afternoon.  Nice thing about a small front yard is this work is scaled way down from a typical sprawling suburban yard.

Couple of those guys are going out on my boat for fishing tomorrow.  I’ll try to get some pics.  Fun to take out of state visitors out on the Louisiana waters.  Beautiful in its own way.

Its happy hour for the critters. Got a little rain and the food plot greened up 

@The Cen-Tex Smoker Beautiful shot right there.  What a vista.  Definitely  keeping everyone happy!  Thanks for that pic as it may be the first you have offered here. 
Stay healthy and safe out there-

these phones are getting really good. Iphone 12 from the front porch. Those trees in front are 200 yds or so. The valley ahead is 6 miles. 

I would have guess 500 yards. Beautiful spot you picked out.

Thanks we love it out here. Good thing because we are, shall we say, “fully committed” lol. This is the front 20 acres where the house is. There are 80 acres of raw land behind us.

Sounds like a great adventure ahead. Enjoy the ride.

That is some beautiful land.  My fam is in SA, if you are open for business, we are always looking for get together destinations.  I’ll talk offline.

This morning facebook "shared a memory" with me, our two shows for the '02 Winter Olympics:



Hard to believe it's been twenty years.

at&t sent me a free replacement maestro 4g phone to replace my 3g after last weeks 3g shutdown.  todays  screen is half chinese and half english, how is that possible. looks like a chinese menu.  (just assuming its chinese because i dont read chinese)  any idea how to fix that, the language is set for english. must be a really expensive phone to do that

See if you can order some Orange chicken with it.  If you can't, I'd return it.

was trying to figure out how to order it with white rice but nope.  its really strange, you can google with voice in english, the titles come up with chinese script, but the rest is mostly english. google and gif come up as english but maybe thats chinese as well. i think it needs a hammer reset but maybe i will get used to it

I laughed.  Then I was sad. The show ended too soon.

nolaegghead

Indeed.  That show had so much promise.  I guess Joss and the network execs had irreconcilable differences.  Maybe it will be resurrected one day.  For now, the space western is dead.

Subtly is one if my trademarks.  I will say this was my first try at Meringue and I was very pleased.  I watched Kenji Lopez-Alt do it in a video a few months back.

Life is too short to fight with a crappy phone.  Just buy a decent phone, Fish, forchrissakes.

I seem to recall Whedon saying a few years ago that he had no interest in reviving the series or making a sequel to the movie.

Perhaps he'd change his mind if Bezos threw enough money at him.

I know that at least three of the cast (Fillion, Baccarin, Tudyk) have current tv shows in production - might be hard to get the band back together.

Like many, I'd love to see it happen.

if i find that i dont use the features then im not likely to upgrade. found using it for the forum to be lousy so thats pretty much not an uprgrade.  it has solitaire so theres that...... going to wait anyways to see the small 400 dollar apple thats due out, or get an upgraded flip that looks like my old one. texting for me is typing refill when my meds are low

Prepping for a Mardi Gras ball. Man, I really don’t feel like putting on a tux let alone wearing one for 8 hours

It's an elective event, and I have elected to not participate in it anymore.  I've seen it/done it so many times, got all that youthful exuberance out of my system.  We might go walk around on fat Tuesday, but that's a big maybe.

We went to a ball with @Foghorn and family one year.  Fun, but the Tux's are a lot of work and it's a messy event.

Foghorn

Yeah, the Bacchus Ball was a lot of fun - but black tie tailgating at a convention center (pack all of your own food and drink while you are in tuxes and ball gowns) was interesting to say the least.

Beauty. That looks great. If you’re into cheesecake, consider trying this hybrid. One of my very favourite dessert recipes, and I’m not even a lemon guy. It’s that good. https://www.ricardocuisine.com/en/recipes/6469-lemon-meringue-cheesecake

We did one parade with the kids Saturday evening. More than enough for me. Ball somewhat mandatory as sister in law is royalty.
