OT - What are you doing right now?

Thanks.  Texas twinkies are a labour (nod) effort for me to get cleaned.  Great suggestion to initially cook whole.  Will give that a try next round.

Smiling and thinking about @CPFC1905 because I just checked the English football scores and learned that Crystal Palace beat Liverpool.

An abysmal set of predictions - but euphoric about the mighty Eagles trouncing (narrow win) Liverpool.

Is that Jim Bakker’s team?

Dreaming of a new putter. Have a putter fitting lined up for whenever I can put a shoe on again lol.

Salting 50 pounds of tritip , cooking tomorrow for an even Friday 

SamIAm2

Used my Greenworks Hedge Trimmer on the Podocarpus we planted over 40 years ago.
Trimmed all sides, including the neighbor's side. All the clippings go behind the neighbor's Sherriff's patrol car because he only has sugar sand next to the driveway where he parks after his shift; the actual driveway is reserved for the family vehicles.Beautiful day for climbing up and down the ladder to do the top, stair stepped hedge. Pressure washing the sidewalks and my driveway up next. Love springtime in Florida.

I would have sworn that was shoulder.  Bet the cook will be amazing!

Nice to see you post, and to admire your work @SamIAm2. Hope all is well with you. 

I know what you mean about springtime in Florida. We stayed at a friend’s place in Orlando and I pressured washed the driveway because the grime was bugging me, and because I wanted to help out as their guest. 

Now just be sure to mind yourself when installing those sails. 😉

Yesterday we had a class on our day off to keep up with some certifications. One of my best friends ended up getting into a motorcycle wreck on his way in. He will live, but it ended up shattering his pelvis, femur and detaching is quad. He has a huge road to recovery.

I just started the egg and poured myself a drink. I provided the pulled pork for a send off dinner for my son's high school music group who is headed to a national competition. Fed 60 kids plus staff. Got this feedback from the boy:




Just hot dogs for me and the wife tonight after all that effort. Road trip to watch the finals on Saturday.

I have a good friend who almost died 2 years ago on Father's day in a bad wreck.  I have a small idea what your friend is in for, and it isn't pretty, but modern medicine is amazing.  I'll leave the "should PD be responsible" to smarter folks than I.

My friend has a dark dark sense of humour and it helped for sure.  He also retired and now has a great private sector job that he loves way more than the politics.

@EzraBrooks - as you well know, those words mean so much more coming form your son and a high school student.
Nailed kid raising along with the pork.  Congrats.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Too many people I know have had incidents/accidents/close calls on bikes. I’ve dropped my M endorsement the day my wife told me she was pregnant. Hope he heals

That sucks, @Battleborn. Best wishes for your friend’s recovery. 

I have never ridden, and don’t think I ever will. Not throwing shade or trying to discourage anyone who does, but I’ve known many individuals who have had life-altering accidents (an accident that can be minor for a car can be life-ending for a motorcyclist; nothing you don’t know). Plus, it’s a poor choice of vehicle in a climate such as mine, where roads are snow-ridden for a stretch of every year.

We always do a Spring getaway to Colorado.  Had some lunch in Nederland then took the fabulous drive from there to Estes Park.  We'll be enjoying some hiking in RMNP for a few days.

Good luck to anyone trying to get Costco to do seasonal tire changeover, they're booking mid May

Never heard of seasonal tire change over until now , I do at some point go from shorts to pants , but I can do that without a booking

My seasonal change over consists of turning my AC in the car to “max”.

I used switch studds to mudds,  new tires seem good now, traction systems are pretty good now. Studds were fun in the summer though drifting with the spark show

It's not mandatory in Ontario (wish it is) to have winter tires but it's safer and we get insurance discount, for not wearing slippers in the snow so to speak.

It was fun in Quebec when it became law in 2008
