Well he is in for a long night. An hour ago they told me he was leaving for OR in 30 min. Seems like he should be there now. Fingers crossed. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. Wayne

Sad but true, Dad stood up yesterday morning and fell. We are not sure if the hip broke before he fell or was a result of the fall.. He laid on the floor for 10 min trying to call for mom but she was sound asleep. He's damn stubborn, he wouldn't let her call 911. He got up went to the bathroom and ate breakfast and finally said you better call the ambulance. He wouldn't let her call me until he left in the ambulance. He is now waiting for an opening in the OR for a half hip replacement. This is the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and al the OR's are at min staff. As you all know he is not in the best of health and 89. He's in God's hands. Our Covid count is filling the hospitals so I can not even go in to comfort him. Very scary operation for someone in his condition anything can happen. He is on OR stand. Wayne

Beautiful spot!

I love cooking and love eating that’s why I’m a FAT SKINNY GUY LOL. Thanks for all the great comments! Stay tuned for the pickled beets and Cinnamon Apple jelly coming to a theatre near you in the next 2 weeks. I know now why people sell home preserves for $10.00 a bottle. It should be $15. It takes a lot of work.

GAG a MAGOT LOL

For lack of a better description this is pickled green tomatoes. I generally eat it with a roast, chicken, Turkey beef or pork. I love eating it with my mashed potatoes and gravy it is sweet and sour. Full of vinegar, sugar, onions and pickling spices. Cooked for about 2 hours and put in mason jars. Yesterday I cut up 22 pounds of my green tomatoes, 9 pounds of my onions and I layered the tomatoes and onions sprinkling each layer with pickling salt. Soaked them over night. Mrs weed drained the salt brine off added white vinegar and did the cooking. After it was cooked we teamed up and bottled it. Mmm very good. If you like pickles you’ll like these. You might notice all the lids haven’t sealed yet I took the picture when the bottles were still hot. All sealed now! I posted the batch we did last year as well.

You may also learn to hate @AusiGirl she is a prolific pain in the but always shooting newb tubes and mowing everyone down with that big ass gun.

Welcome to the forums. I don’t believe I’ve played while you’ve been on yet. Are you playing on Server 1? As far as @wildthing is concerned you may find the use of the player MUTE your friend lolol! Sorry @wildthing I had to say it before someone else did! Weed

So sorry about your dad! Glad you all had a good trip. Yes we have a great beautiful country to see. Wayne

Sorry I missed this post, looks great @tsw 8.5keep these cooking post going.

Welcome to the clan.

Everyone tells me I look like my dad. What do you folks think? This picture was taken in January on our way to dialysis

Thanks everyone, grandchildren are the best! The oldest one is a miracle child (long story) the youngest is shall we say pig headed lol. I really feel sorry for any man who falls in love with either of them. They should come with a warning! Lol I consider them gifts from god. Love the wonderful comments! Wayne

You’re so young 12 years! La petite fille I hope I copied that from my google search correctly lol!

In Canada we are allowed to grow 4 plants each for personal use! We don't use that stuff but maybe we could barter it lol!

The Mrs. turned 65 today! She will now receive her Canadian Old Age Security (OAS) check every month for life! It’s the government pension here in Canada. I will receive my first check next June. Yes she is a cradle robber. With our OAS our CPP and the little bit of savings we have we will survive! Cheers have a great day! Wayne

Thanks for organizing these sales. Takes a lot of your personal time.

I'll take one each!

It was EVE'S CHERRY that Adam plucked and yes we MEN have been paying for that ever since! lol

Hell were all you punks rich? I had 5 siblings we were poor but didn’t know it because everyone was poor lol. I was born in 1957. All the kids in the neighborhood (not HOOD like the gangsters <GANGBANGERS> of today) would get together in the fall to play football. No one could afford a football so we used a bleach bottle, true story. When I was in grade 11 taking electrical training the teachers used slide rules and we used trig tables. After a trade show one of our teachers showed us a pocket calculator he bought, I think it was like $80 and was able to add, multiply subtract band divide. My how times have changed.

Any hair is good hair at my age! I don’t care what colour it is!

As some of you know I’ve done a bit of hunting, shooting and reloading over the years. Over the last 20 years the increase of firearms, ammunition and reloading supplies sales in North America, (Canada too) has gone through the roof. For several years items have been out of stock and price gouging has occurred. This year I was fortunate to draw a moose tag her in my home province of New Brunswick. Thank god I have a fairly good supply of reloading components to build a good hunting load for moose. I did however start looking for other optional projectiles BUT NINE ARE available anywhere. I called Both Speer and Sierra bully smiths only to be told nothing is available for reloader’s as they are trying to supply the bullet manufacturing industry. I got the same answer from both Speer and Sierra “The fear of more stringent GUN CONTROL in the USA has driven gun, ammunition and reloading components individuals into panic buying and hoarding.” I was also told “Over 10,000,000 more Americans have purchased firearms for the first time and over 5,000,000 have started reloading” Please folks don’t make this into another debate along political lines. My statement is just to highlight the supply shortages the shooting industry is now experiencing. @Ruggerxi the short story is if you see some grab them quick and grab more than you need. Good luck

Sad news, my condolences to you and your family.

I believe @Timmah! had this happen to him.
