I like this time at night on HBT

[BobbiLynn]

I never tried stretching or working slow before but dang sure will in the future

Oh, I stretch and work slow every time this happens to me! Just stretch however makes it feel good and hold it slow, then slowly start moving again. When I said I was 39, I lied.

Good morning!

We still have about 2ft of snow on the ground, haven't even thought about breaking out the mower. The weather wizards are predicting a good melt for the next week or so. Break up is coming!

I feel and empathize for those with back pain, gentle stretching and slowly working back up to what I'm trying to do almost always seems to do the trick.

You all and your Schnitzels. I am salivating like crazy. I've made them with moose and caribou that I soaked in milk or buttermilk, pounded thin between parchement paper. They didn't turn out bad and I was also happy the kids seemed to enjoy it.

LG - love your Bacon Seed poster!

 

[BobbiLynn]

Argh, my 4-wheeler is screwed I think. Motor might be blown, I won't doubt it. Going to have to walk to the field to get the rest of the sorghum planted. Maybe that will be just the warm-up I need. I've already planted most of it. 16 wide rows X 200 feet per row(approximate), I know it's not quite as long as a football field, or maybe they are 300 feet, the length of a football field, looks like a long ways when you are standing on one end. I bundled them in rows about 3 feet wide, just scattered the seed. Left another yard between rows to get through and harvest them. Planted last batch right before a heavy rain and worked out good. We are expecting heavy rain again tomorrow so gotta get the rest scattered.

I didn't even hear hubby pulling back up when typing the last message. Jump started my ATC with the truck and it's running fine. Might just need a new battery. I over-reacted, again.

 

[BobbiLynn]

Err... spark plugs, simple enough.

 

[Varmintman]

I love it when it turns out to be a simple fix. Most times for me it turns out three times worse than it could be

Well I have to decide on if I am going to work on chainsaws today or brew. It is a nice day so I might work outside and then brew tonight after dark.

 

[snaps10]

I guess I'm a few days late to update.

In the past few days I've:

Paid the government as much in taxes as buying the 3.5bbl brewing system we wanted to buy.

Met with the vice-principle of my kids school because my daughter hid in a bathroom with some friend. 1/2 hr later the school was on lockdown for 45 minutes because there were three girls missing.

Applied for the job I want at the company I want, but can't take it even if I get it because try don't give benefits for a long time.

Applied at a rival employer for the exact position in the exact type of facility as I'm in now, hoping for a few more bucks an hour and a less hostile environment.

Ripped out three more trees and replanted two.

Found 2 roaches and sprayed the house accordingly.

Oh, all the while my wife's non-profit radio station has been doing their pledge drive raising funding for the next year. So I've been virtually single parenting three kids.






I need a beer.

 

[BobbiLynn]

The whole field of sorghum is planted. Moved the bigger chickens to a larger brooder. Another snake on the porch and hubby freaked out, did I tell you he killed the last one when it was out of my sight? He said he took it to a far away place to live but he lied. He killed it and measured it, my nephew told me. 4.25 feet long. I'm kind of mad but when he told me he was taking it somewhere far away to live in peace, I believed him but not really. Wasn't surprised he killed it. So the new snake, this one smaller, I coaxed it away and hope it stays away. Otherwise hubby will kill another innocent white oak just looking for a nice meal. If I find out hubby is planning to kill this one when I'm not looking, I will kill it myself and feed it to him in a stew. Once he got me to eat chicken feet with rice, so ha!!!!

How is the beer? Get one yet?

The chickens are smarter than hubby thought, they are trying to pick the locks. Hubby tied small wire in black plastic coating to hold the door on. They are pecking at it like crazy, trying to pick the lock. I bet they could loosen it enough to open the door. I will just re-enforce that spot.

I fee bad. I told the boy that I would not cosign his rental agreement. The boy and two of his college buds decided to get a 3 bedroom apartment. Of course it is a shared instead of an individual lease. Of course none of them can pass a credit check at this point in their lives. I've looked at the rental agreement and all of a sudden I'm not really comfortable supplying my SSN or even the whole act of cosigning. I'm not worrying about my credit score, but I don't know the other kids and I don't know their parents. The boy said that his future roommates will never be a problem and they will always make their payments to the landlord for their share of the rent on time. Turns out that instead of cosigning, they can pay the first and last month rent plus the deposit. He seems OK with the decision, but I'm just not happy about the downside of that situation. I told him that if he wants to go find an individual apartment, I would gladly cosign.

 

[Leadgolem]

Sorry to hear that LG.

Well, it could be good could be bad. My job isn't going away, at least not immediately. I'm just working for corporate now.

The real question is what is going to happen with my pay. I'm currently hitting incentive pay on a regular basis. Corporate doesn't have an incentive pay system. I know how that kind of thing has been handled in the past, but I'll just have to wait and see.

It sounds like you did the right thing. When you are young, you always think things will work out with your friends. After all, they would never do anything nasty to you right? When you are talking about money though, people get kinda funny.

Here's the latest update on the red rice yeast batches. I'm not really sure if it's the temperature, or the presence of the oolong tea in one batch, or even the missing rice yeast balls that's the problem. The available data has me leaning more toward the temperature, but I can't really be certain.

 

[Leadgolem]

Hmm. I'm drinking my cider from December. I have to say, I'm not impressed. It's ok, but not great. Nothing even close to the previous batch from august. I thought the two batches were about the same. Then I reread my notes. They contain about the same ingredients, but there are some huge procedural differences. Ok. I'll just have to run a bunch more batches to see if I can nail down witch one was important.

Whenever I see a sleeping cat, I want to go over and poke them to wake them up.

I can understand that, looks like an interesting sight. My slow old computer seems to have a problem making it work though.

It sounds like you have the windows virus.

Yeah, 15.5% cider. I'm glad I put that bottle away after pouring one glass.

 

[opus345]

More crazyness. Carjacking, chase, automatic gunfire, grenades, another officer might be down, and one possibly two suspects in custody in Watertown, MA. Thoughts and prayers to the family of the MIT officer killed earlier.

 

[Dan]

Tunes anybody? I might get deep so skip to the video if you don't feel like reading a few lines.

First off. Billy Jack. Okay it's a movie. He was a Native American who became a Marine, maybe Army. Either way, the guy in the movie served our country. He went back home after combat tours. Once he got there he hooked up with a group of American natives who were shunned by the local townspeople.

Maybe the movie is far fetched. I was around 7 years old when it came out. That's not important.

This would probably be better posted on the hippy thread. Both this and that little thread have no theme except good people coming together.

I'm going to post this on both threads.

If you listen to it please read the description from the person who posted it on YouTube.

I don't know why I tell you all so much but I do.

I'm leaving for Hawaii day after tomorrow to visit my wife. We have been apart for the last 2 years, 4 months and 17 days. We have spent weeks together during that time here or there. But day to day with out her I'm just a shell.

I'm moving to Hawaii by the end of the year or sooner. Going to take a big leap of faith that I find a job there. My wife is from Hawaii and moved to the mainland with me while I was active duty military. Second marriages for both of us, no offspring between us but we both have children from previous marriages.

Why we been apart so long? I was suppose to get a job in Hawaii after I retired from the military. It didn't work out. Some bad stuff happened after that and I couldn't leave CA. I'm at a point now I'm ready to take a big leap of faith.

I spend quite a bit of my time on HBT now and do enjoy the friendship and camaraderie and support I've found here. Many very wonderful people on this site.

This sounds a bit demanding and probably is. Please send good vibes, a silent prayer, for Jan and I to be back together again. Healthy, safe and a happy life together.

Dan

You can know that I'm praying, Brother.

Pomaika`i, hoapili!

 

[Varmintman]

You go Dan.

I wish I had some kind of stat for second marriages. I know my second one is my last one and that while there are still problems to work through it is a ton easier than the first one was.

Hmm I wonder why that is. I guess because as a older person we are not disillusioned about what marriage is but get married for love first and foremost.

 

[opus345]

Dan,

What are you doing sitting around talking to us. Go to the airport now!

Godspeed mate.

I hope I'm 1 and done. I held out stubbornly until the ripe old age of 32 in an attempt to grow up adequately before I took the plunge.

 

[lschiavo]

Best of luck Dan. I hope everything goes well for you my friend.

You go Dan! I was 40 when I married the first and only time. Couldn't see myself raising a family or even being married while I was punching holes in the ocean all those years. I wouldn't trade my wife for anything!
Be with your friend, partner, lover and mate and have peace in your lives together. Know that we are your friends, for both of you!

 

[Stauffbier]

Best of wishes to you Dan!
