I like the Gross HP 4431 reading. Is that @ 1024 rpm idle? Is there more? LOTS more?

Picture of deceased, dismembered, chicken parts. I thought of using molasses, but it's like never-seize. One drop, and it covers everything.

Half-a-dozen things going on yesterday, forgot I had nothing for lunch sandwiches. Tossed two chicken breasts in the skillet, olive oil & low heat. Tired of sliced meat, so I put a small pot on w/half a cup of ketchup, two heaping spoonfuls of brown sugar, little white vinegar, little malted vinegar, salt, pepper, & cayenne for kicks. Cut the breasts up, dropped them in the pot with the makeshift concoction, and pulled them apart with a fork while simmering. Chicken on toasted wheat, mustard & mayonnaise, and lettuce to top. Damn, wish I had written that recipe down, because I'm looking forward to lunch. Anyone have favorites for home-made BBQ sauces?

Saturdays & Sundays all day long Sponge, Weekdays things pick up after 3:00pm. Bring it on!

Sold, Dave & I split the nice profit. One less thingy sitting around. Honda & trolling motor will get tried out on a 16' Alumacraft we have sitting around, AFTER we come back from fishing. Much nicer playing with things in your backyard, rather than hauling them 150miles & working on motors while vacationing.

Pulled off everything I want, currently at Dave's & on marketplace. Dave has a 10 year newer open bow w/90hp Evinrude, and it's a sweet ride. I have a 1974 AMF Crestliner w/115hp Johnson that is in beautiful, unrestored shape. Lousy for fishing, but it's a nice river boat. Deep vees are very stable, but have tall freeboards that make pulling fish in a little more challenging, especially paper mouth crappies. We fished out of Dale's 14' Starcraft for years, but you were shoulder to shoulder w/three, and two had to lean back when netting, or you'd upend her. Going to Olney after quarter mailing, taking Dave's 17 1/2' Sea Nymph, and Jeff's 16' Tracker. 7 guys total, should have room for everyone. Docks are fine to fish from if the boats get crowded, and less chance of spilling your beer.

Leftover from lunch bake yesterday, but I'm still jealous tsw 8.5.

Yeah, I saw that too. Some group must have pissed off the chi-coms. I thought they loved crypto, if only to undercut the dollar. They must see it as a threat to their control of currency.

We fish small lakes, three guys go out on the average. Jeff has a tracker, 3 pedestals, Jimmy has a Sea Nymph, 3 pedestals, 16' boats, and the ones everyone wants to climb aboard. Dave has a 17 1/2' open bow, seats four, but you have to cast around the console. For what we do, open floor and three pedestals is fine. Throw a 30-50hp tiller onboard, we're good to go. Most of the time we're running on trolling power anyway. That's my argument to convert this hull to tiller and be done with it.

Picked this up on the cheap. 82 Sea Nymph, 90hp Force, 10hp Honda BF100 kicker, & Minn Kota 24v foot control troller. Honda went straight into the garage, along with the Minn Kota. Stripped off all the paraphernalia. Hull is beautiful w/dock rash, but no dings. Fudz wants me to bring it over for a quick resale, but I'm tempted to gut the interior, put three pedestals in, and make an open floor tiller ride.

You may address me as Lord Renaldo, Emperor of the Outer Rings of Saturn. I identify as a yellow elephant in a red sundress with a set of black pumps. Anyone not fulfilling my narcissistic fantasy will be banned to Iron Bottom Sound.

One of my favorite maps to kill Rocket

.303, 30-30, .308, 8mm Mauser, .44 mag, .45 auto, .38 special, .357 mag, .22, .5.56mm, 12 gauge, and a few .20 pellets. Oh yeah, Rock Chucker reloading press with turret, powder, primers, and pills to refill everything. Large supply of rocks and a few baseball bats.

I'm there. Don't demonize people like Fauchi, they created this monstrosity. Blame the people that don't trust government. That's easy. Use that to segregate and divide. The unvaxxed are the enemy, so says government. CDC tells you the truth, on any given moment, so whom do you place blame? On whomever the media tell you to hate. Piss on fauchi, piss on the cdc, and piss on the who, whomever funds their crap.

Bring a cage & some peanut butter, they are all over my yard. Be careful what you wish for, they dig holes under everything. Cute? Yes, but destructive.

May push my retirement plans forward over this. Pisses me off nobody cares about the folks that remained working during the whole event. Natural immunity? Not possible, and we don't count it as existing. You took the chance and kept things running before there were vaccines? Tough shit, Emperors orders, get vaxxed or be shut out of life. Afghanistan & Central Americans dropped in your lap? Oh, they're fine, we just want to hold you responsible. What an ever-loving crock of shit.

I normally don't agree with anything you say, but in this case you hit the nail right on the head. This guy was looking to cause a flap, and he got it. Not helping anything or anyone with his irresponsibility.

“A lady came up to me one day and said 'Sir! You are drunk', to which I replied 'I am drunk today madam, and tomorrow I shall be sober but you will still be ugly.” ― Winston Churchill

No shit, a sixer ain't gonna do it for the hardcore. Imagine the horror when they wake up sober.

Dale gave me a bunch of split tomatoes from his garden. OK, what to do.... blanch & stew! Cut a large onion & fried it up in the skillet with butter. Hamburger? Damn, frozen....thaw & wait. Almost ready, no canned beans on the shelf...really? I'm losing my mind. Clean a pound of pintos, bring them to a boil, then cover. Text message, we're going to the boat club, meet us @ 4:00. Um, ok, cover everything and get half-drunk. Return home, brown hamburger, put pintos back on to boil...& continue drinking. Toss in a large helping of chili powder, Jalapenos, salt, & cracked pepper. Add browned hamburger, beans when soft, then bring the whole mess to a slow boil in one pot. The house smells like chili, I think I'm having chili for breakfast after I wake up from my IPA binge. Happy Labor Day!

Love to, Sticky Fingers ok? Bag of Nails near Buckingham Stables? Ah, dammit. Forgot about the covid nonsense. Guess I'll just drink here in the states & wish I was in England. Have a pint of Fullers ESB for me.

Took a welding course while at junior college, and went to work at a local Millwright shop when money got low. Spent the next 10 years climbing in and around sand plants, quarries, chemical works, and factories up and down the Illinois River. Went to work in Iowa after mom passed away, and had the time of my life with family row-crop & cattle farming, but mostly we made money by running a couple bulldozers for the tri-county water & conservation district. Lost track of how many dams we built, waterways created, and terraces put in. Been across thousands of acres of ground, that still fill my dreams at night. Toward the end (another decade), traveled with my Brother after he split off from Southwest Research and created his own company. Did corrosion inspection for Chevron, BP, Conoco-Phillips and others from Alaska, California, Texas and the Southeast. Refineries, Oil fields, and off-shore piping was our specialty. Met a gal from Illinois, and we got married, she was a Dr. of Pharmacy, so it made sense to come back here. Took a year off to clear property and build a new home. Put my CDL to work from 2006-2016 at Ferrelgas, Conway Freight, and United Suppliers. Lori passed away from cancer, and it was my sad duty to be her hospice nurse. Since her death, I took a position at a local company (thought they were a print shop), and honed an entirely different set of skills, although my machining experience proved invaluable. Hopefully, this was the last time I have to prove myself, because this challenge forced me to drag up brains long atrophied. Looking to retire in 18 months, and further my bottle emptying hobby.

Howdy Froggy, glad you finally made it to the forums.
