"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." - Will Rogers


Pot Pooree 

  • 25 mph winds and 15% humidity makes my eyes feel like marbles covered with sandpaper. 
  • Animals don't do music. It's one of the things separating humans from the rest of creation. It's also one of God's good gifts. Therapeutic.
  • No matter their protestations, the govt. officials in Pakistan are a joke on six different levels. Either they knew OBL was there and didn't do anything about it (bad) or they didn't know he was there (worse). We sent in three choppers to a compound a couple of blocks from their equivalent of West Point and they didn't know until after we were gone 40 minutes later. Keystone Cops, and their posturing just makes them look like Jr. High boys.
  • I'm disgusted by the new Google Chrome ads aimed at kids who (think they) are homosexual. 
  • I really like the new Fruit of the Loom ad for low-rise briefs. If you haven't seen it keep an eye out. Clever! (Note: men in Sun City don't wear low-rise briefs.)
  • I find working on Ilsa therapeutic too. Wrenching and tunes. The wrenching part might not be as relaxing when I'm in over my head on an engine rebuild, but right now I'm just taking things apart. I've decided to clean up the parts as I take them off, before storing them away until reassembly. Some pieces clean up well and others will have to be replaced. So far a lot more of the former than the latter. 
  • How come I now drool when I fall asleep in my chair? Just the last month or so. What's she feeding me?
  • Actually, I know what she's feeding me, and it's good. For reasons I'm not going to question we've had real meat several times over the last few weeks. You know, the kind of meat you need a knife to cut - not like tuna fish or hamburger. Tonight it was pork tenderloin. I could get used to this.
  • I'm going to stare out the window tomorrow. That may be a window at Cabin Coffee.

Maybe you're pregnant? Waking up from a nap in a puddle of drool was the first telltale sign of pregnancy for me with both A and H! I'm just sayin'...... ;-)

The only birthing for Craig will be Ilsa. Let's see if the gestation period lasts 9 mos or is more like the 22 months of an elephant.

Maybe you keep dreaming about that pork tenderloin. *drool*

We had that the other day. I marinated it with a variation of this recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/saras-secrets/marinated-grilled-pork-tenderloin-recipe/index.html

Then, Dave grilled it with his apple wood chips underneath. He is the grillmeister! Thankfully, we made enough for two meals. Once would NOT have been enough.

And, no, we did not marinate drool. I know that's what you're going to say next. Picky-picky.

Ah, Jen, you know me well. That was exactly my reaction.
