OT - What are you doing right now?

Cleaned garage while smoking butt.  

Did a freezer swap too. (Grabbed an upright and put it in basement storage room and transferred garage chest freezer contents into it.) Chest freezer going back to work.

Edit: photo is misleading. While taking the photo, behind me is about 12 bikes 4 scooters, storage tubs, etc. To the right of that fridge is a shelving unit with about 50 pairs of shoes. On the other side of Yukon is tools, tubs, BGEs, century bob, etc.  

The pic was to show my wife that her car was in the stable.

Cue up a certain person with a propensity for butt holes to comment on the culinary delicacy of squirrel anus.

Keeping it weird and fun!

Got anything planned for the weekend?  Are you getting a new King? Nope, thought not - just me then. And you’ll be reassured to learn that it is raining already and unlikely to change until Monday.  I don’t think the Coronation has reverted to being an indoor only event, but it would speed things along a tad. Only regret for me is the flypast of both airworthy craft that comprise our mighty RAF will be sacked off if there’s any drizzle.  

Saturday 

Bournemouth v Chelsea, 13th host 12th and both safe from the drop. Two features there that were not on Chelsea’s radar back in August. They have been a total shambles and no deviation foreseen. Strong odds on a home win, so 2-1

Man City v Leeds, 4-0 despite the Bat symbol being illuminated in the night sky over Leeds this week with Big Sam being pulled from a museum and installed as kamikaze navigator for their final four games.

Spurs v Palace, the main event in London this weekend is at White Hart Lane. Genuinely any result is possible and about 15 goals inevitable.  Spurs have one point from the last four games, Palace are scoring for fun and conceding at a marginally slower rate. 3-2

Wolves v Villa, as predicted Wolves fed the media narrative and handed the Filthy Seagulls the easiest possible three points last week. I hope they all catch the raging pox. Villa’s Euro ambitions took a dent last time out and will fancy reversing that here. 0-2

Liverpool v Brentford, five wins on the bounce for big bonkers Jurgy and he welcomes the resurrected Bees to Anfield. Far from certain but you’ve got to go with form and so it’s a narrow 2-1

Sunday

Newcastle v Arsenal, 3rd welcome 2nd; that’s right lads the Gunners have slipped and let’s be honest, the game’s up for them. They dared to dream but totally took their eye off the ball.  A Toon win won’t change much in the title context but will nudge them towards certain Champions League next season. 2-1

West Ham v Man Utd,   An away win feels probable and won’t necessarily spell disaster for the Hammers but it will leave them perilously close to the drop. Their guests also conspired to feed the media narrative by gifting the Filthy Seagulls a win last night. Feels a bit drawy so 1-1

Monday

Fulham v Leicester, the Foxes are playing with fire near the relegation zone but have shored up their defences to grind out draws recently and inching towards safety. Fulham have more or less declared and are preoccupied by holiday plans. 0-1

Brighton v Everton, the media conspiracy has been laid bare with two inexplicable wins gifted to the Fifty Seagulls this week, and guess what - free-falling Everton are next up.  What’s the point? 3-0 and I hope they can sleep at night.

Forest v Southampton, Saints are certainly sunk. Forest threw a lead away last week in the last moments, had they not and then gone on to win this match their safety would be assured. But they didn’t and so it isn’t. Home win does put even more pressure on Leeds, Everton and maybe Leicester. 2-0.

OK that’s it because I need to practice tugging my forelock, bowing, stooping, fawning and laying across puddles.

Speaking of… be mindful of your garage door height if you plan on pulling the kubota in @billt01. We added a foot of height to ours to accommodate.

I pull mine right into the house garage.  Nice barn though

I would probably move the man door to a side wall fwiw

why, I was thinking a pull through so I can drop the trailer with equipment still loaded in the event of inclement weather..

That works. I just like the man door on the side out of the way. Coat rack or bench or beer fridge whatever there is room. More of a personal preference I guess

Is it strictly dry storage or serve as your shop as well? If it's a shop, could you push out the walls for a workbench, tool box, fridge, saws, etc? Unless you plan on using the back right half of the shed but wall space is nice for storage.

I think he was talking about "man door" not "main door".  I tend to agree, I would have a man door on the sidewall, probably both sidewalls if I had a choice.

I don't see a "woman door" so this really is a "man cave" then?

CBS 60 Minutes had a story about a fútbal star from the US, 6'11", who had just graduated with an engineering degree (had played BB in college) and got an out-of-the-blue offer to try out fútbal in Australia, and he's becoming a star.  He knew little about the sport.  The Aussie version is a hell of a lot more violent, different field configuration, and was hella fun to watch.  Here's the clip:

Being Canadian, I experience long winters and am overjoyed by looking at the emerging vegetation this time of year.

Retorquing my Kentucky Derby investments once again.  Had a horse in the mix scratch yesterday due to high fever and another today, same issue.

I thought horses were clear of Covid...

Naw, they gotta be careful too.  'specially if they're attending a CDC conference.

Trying this new cooking technique.  Direct, raiser, butterfly'd whole chickens.  Cut the spine out, pull the wishbone, and flatten.  I might patent this technique.

There has been a dismemberment.

@Ozzie_Isaac  you just need to refine your surgical approach. However the end result will be worth your slice and dice attempt.

Next time-smaller and sharper knife- you will be justly rewarded for your tuned skills. Trust me on a Friday night...

Those were dismembered with tongs.  I think a knife would have been better.  When I flipped them the legs came off like Mark 48 torpedoes  headed towards a Typhon Class Russian sub.

@Ozzie_Isaac  you read way too much sci-fi  although you do use contemporary terms that have some level of reality. 

Gotta admit I never thought I would read the above on a Q forum in 2023.

Smokin’ a pork butt and cigar..prepping for a derby party tomorrow. Any thought on who will win it?
