Or any other kind of latte.

In that event, is it too presumptuous of me to respectfully request a large cup of cowboy coffee with a slice of cinamon pumpkin pie on the side?
I thought of handing out this:

I like pumpkin with spices, but as pumpkin with spices, not in everything. I like anchovy pizza also but sure as heck don't want it in my coffee.
::)

Hmmm good Idea Del , thinking left of center just seems right !
-
Had a pair of pumpkin muffins for breakfast after my visit to the vampire this morning ::)

And, I'll be having a special blended drink ( and lots of it!) for dinner... :o
-
I had errands to run this morning. I had Lunch at my favorite place to eat, CFS, Fries, Pinto Beans, and a Salad. It sure was tasty. I went home and took a little nap. I am thinking about taking another one. No clue for Supper.

Got back from the big city (Omaha ;D) Decided I like this GI doc, first time for everything, gal about 30, guessing from India or Pakistan, listened to what I said, agreed that was what was wrong, no sense is doing the drink and X-Ray since we know it's there. Said there were several ways to go about it, medicine, diet see if loosing a few pounds would maybe help, or just fix it, yep, bingo.
She said most are to worried about it and mess with it and are misrible for years. Told her I had enough lapros it didn't bother me. Anyway got to go Wed and they are going to put me out and make sure the espogus ain't damaged and then she's sending me to UNO Med Center, she said they have a good surgeon over there for this stuff. Asked her if it was Olinikuf and she said it was. Yep I know him, he helped develpe the wrap to keep adhesions from sticking after surgery and I was one of his first patients on that.
-
We had Chinese take-out for Supper tonight. It was good. It got dark on the Patio and I had to finish eating by the light of the Citranilla candle.
-
After my early morning pain the azz exploration, I had a fancy coffee and pumpkin (aka pum'kin) bread. Nice to have some solid food and caffeine again!
-

I slept in this morning. The Cawffee woke me enough to get up and get dressed. I had some stuff to do in the front yard, so I got it done before it got hot. I am going to drink another cup of Cawffee and take a nap.
-
The wonderful Miss Red is making rice to go with the leftover shrimp creole for lunch today....
MmmmMMMmmm!
-
I had leftover Sasame Chicken for Lunch. I'll be hungry again in a couple of hours, an afternoon snack may be in order.
-
Del,
I would guess the pumpkin itself is okay?
What is it about or within the spices that you don't like?
I like my coffee straight up and black. The Flavored coffee's are ok, only occasionally, but I don't care much for it on a full time bases.
My best,
Blair

For me, the best place to use Pumpkin Pie Spice, is in a pumpkin pie. Can't comment on Pumpkin Pie Spiced coffee products, since I don't drink either spiced or regular coffee.
-
Nothing wrong with pumpkin or other winter squash spiced up with what ever you choose, my mix for two Winter squash (pumpkin is a winter squash) sweet tater or carrot pie or the same roasted.
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of allspice
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
But it does not belong in everything else just cause it's October, I like soy sauce on some things but I sure ain't going to put it in my coffee.
-
Like Pumpkin pie..... :)
tried pumpkin soup once .... BLAHHHHHHHHHHH ! barf !
I could imagine , not caring for pumpkin coffee either.
-
At least pumpkin soup is an old dish dating to before Columbus and also before pumpkin pie. It ain't something companies are try to cash in on Yuppies and their buying stupid things because it's cool.
-
Was out and about with the wife today. Del, you got me noticing stuff again. Kept seeing pumpkin flavored stuff all over the place. Even saw a pumpkin cheese cake milk shake at Arby's. Another thing I saw was Hostess Sno-Balls colored orange and called Glo-Balls ::)
Hope things can be corrected GI-wise again. Same problem as last time? ::) :(
-
Forgot, it never got any higher than low 60's today here. It's trying to start raining here now, and quite breezy ::)

Mornin Y'all, it's 47 and raining here.supposed to rain for the next 3 days, then get some sun on Wed.lows in the low 40's highs in mid 60's.What happened to summer???
-
We got lows in the mid 60s at night around here. The Cawffee tastes extra good with the cooler weather. I had some toast with the Cawffee.
-
Had my coffee on the way to the range this mornin'. With hunting season around the corner, and cool temperatures, the range filled up pretty quickly. I'm happy....I got there early, and my 45-70 carbine BP load grouped well!
-
I slept through Lunch, No clue for Supper. I am watching Football. TCU is shutting out the UT Longhorns, 44-0. Baylor is playing Texas Tech in about an hour at Cowboy Stadium. A good day for a football in Texas, temps in the high 60s-low 70s.

Made spaghetti for supper Wednesday.
Finally got some much needed rain Thursday. It would rain hard for a while then almost quit, then pour again. Had one big peal of thunder at the start that sent the cats off to parts unknown, then all was quiet the rest of the day.
Friday was deep fried catfish and hush-puppies.
Tonight it will be rice stuffed Cornish hens on the grill, but it will have to be consumed inside, as our high temps are only getting to the low 70’s. By the time we eat it’ll be a tad too nippy for the wife on the patio.
-
Yesterday there was an unexpected surprise, in the form of large box left at my gate by UPS.
Seems 2 of my lead men, got together with the crew and ordered and had delivered, as a gift one of these :o
I haven't had a Grill since the Barn Fire several years ago, just never got one. We did miss it but never replaced the propane one we had.... :-[
This is a electric smoker, both the Carpenter (leads) have one and I tasted the Ribs etc that come from them. I won't be able to use it until I return from Texas , I'm looking forward to it :)
-
M2,
Are you going to try for a Florida Black Bear a little later this month?
Then there is always the wild porkers.
Just some thoughts on the new grill/smoker.
My best,
Blair

Pum'kin spice belongs in Pum'kin bread and pie only!
One of my fondest memories is the pum'kin pie my Grandmother gave me at Thanksgiving...an entire pie! She made both pecan and pum'kin, and each of her grandchildren got an entire pie of their choice.
But, for today, I'll enjoy my Folger's with French Vanilla creamer while reloading, and then head to the Gun Show at the Pasadena (TX) convention center.

Love "punkin pie", if it's made right; of course what's right to me might not suit someone else, but most pun'kin pie is good - now pun'kin pie spice in other stuff? Not so much.
Here's a funny story from my fambly past:
My uncle love his mom's pumpkin pie, so much so that he always asked for his own whole pie. He also did not like squash of any kind, and always complained about having squash at Sunday meals, so much so that his mom got sort of ticked at him about it. So one Sunday, after church as usual, we went to the grandparents house for dinner, and whaddayaknow? No squash, even though it was the height of Summer - but there were a few pumpkin pies, and Uncle requaested his own as usual and was rewarded with a whole pie and all the whipped cream he wanted. So, after he'd pretty well decimated that pie, commenting that he thought it was about the best "pumpkin pie" she had ever mad, Mammaw asked everyone what they thought of her banana squash pie. He got so mad about being fooled that he took his family and left, and was not in evidence for a couple of weeks after. After that, he avoided pumpkin pie.
-
I cooked Breakfast on the Patio(scrambled eggs/bacon). There is no better smell than frying bacon outside. I had wonderful weather for it.
-
I took a nap this afternoon. The temps are in the middle 70s, I could get used to this cooler weather. No clue for Supper. We had kabobs, baked potatoes and a salad for Supper last night.
-
Hope the weather holds, I'll be there tomorrow , TLD
I'm booked at the Sheraton Dallas
-
What is funny is I made a squash pie one time and the wife wouldn't eat it, said she didn't like squash. LOL pumpkins are just a group of cultavars of winter squash generally round and orange. Although sometimes called the Dickensen Field Pumpkin, the most common cultavar for store bought pumpkin looks more like a squash, or rather what people think a squash looks like.
Grandpa used to grow these. What is funny is most of the pumpkins you find at the store this month ain't fit to eat being bred to carve. If you want to make pie from scratch look for the small pie/sugar pumpkins and if you have no luck finding them just use butternut squash and no one will know the differance. LOL
-
Miss Red cooked some butternut squash for dinner tonight....along with a salad and baked chicken.
MMMmmmMMM....A good meal for the beginning of fall.
-
I had fried catfish, cole slaw, and green beans for Supper tonight. M2, The weather has been cooler around here lately. Do you which Sheraton? The one Downtown is a 42 story one at 400 Olive ave.

See you soon :)

I have decided the latest conspriracy to worry about is the Pumpkin Spice everything. I am sure they are putting it in something in the pumpkin pie spice mixes that takes over peoples minds, and it does not affect people like me who mix their own. Making a pie with a store box mix is just a gateway drug and it will take over and you'll want all that weird stuf. ::)
It's as bad as the green match head one I pointed out a couple years ago, (thanks to a friend I am now getting red head matches made in Chili that are better than the long gone Ohio Blue tips).
We need to fight this Yuppie conspiracy or we'll all be driving Prius's, Smart Cars and BMW SUV's and drinking weird lattes made with soy milk and pooping out digested tofu. Just say no to pumpkin spice unless it's a real homemade pumpkin pie.
-
Must be the new flavor-du-jour,Del. ::) :o
My MIL used to make a pumpkin chiffon pie. Them things were great, had a graham cracker crust ;)
50 here, dawn's just breaking ::)

Afternoon y'all,I'm sitting in the waiting room of Albany Medical waiting to see my Brother in law, he was life flighted here because he was too stubborn to go to the doctor 3 weeks ago. His heart is working at about 10% and his lungs were half filled with fluid. The Doctor thinks they can pull him through, but it wouldn't hurt to keep him in your thoughts. His name is tom,he's 58 years old. Thanks
-
Prayers in progress for him and his family.

Good thoughts & wishes for Tom ,....
landed in Dallas a couple of hours ago... nice weather

Thoughts and prayers out for Tom. Hope the Docs pull him through!

Good luck, do wait till he's better and then all of you need to sit down and have a talk with him.
I know that sounds bad but had to do that in 1989 with my Dad, Mom called me from work and I went and got my brother and told him to get in my car so we could go to the ER nice or we would hag tie him. Was there for about 10 days.

They said he could be in CCU for 2 to 3 weeks,maybe longer.

The Cawffee and Hot water are ready to drink. Enjoy! We went out to eat for Supper last night. Moose was in the mood for Tex-Mex, so we went to our favorite place to eat. I had some cold Coronas to wash it down. I ate too much as usual. I've had my second cup of Cawffee, No clue for Breakfast or Lunch.
-
I could get used to this cool weather. It was 59 at sun up and a high of 86 at 5 pm. I think that Fall has finally arrived here in the Metroplex.
-
I fixed myself some French Toast for Breakfast, and another cup of Cawffee. No clue for Lunch or Supper.
-
We ended up with Pizza Hut Pizza for Supper. We ate on the Patio and had some adult beverages to wash down the Pizza.
-
I'll start the pots going.
"tis 58 and dark here. Keys to the kingdom today, we mowed yesterday, probably trim some today ::)
-
worked to 6:30 , got back to the Hotel..and just grabbed a sandwich and Ice tea at the bar ..

and Ice tea at the bar ..
That wouldn't have been a Long Island Ice Tea??
Great day hear on the coastal plains. 54 years ago, my mother had her first born. She and my dad, did an excellent job of raising him.
I am grateful for my parents bringing me into this world, and guiding me to find my way. Cheers, mom and dad...have a cup of coffee on me...

Happy Birthday Troy!
The hens turned out great! We started to get rain about the time I was bringing them in. Over Thursday and Friday we got about 3/4”, about the most we’ve had over the entire summer.
Been a spending some cash the last couple days. Scheduled some tree trimming for this coming Monday, had a leak in the sprinkler system manifold repaired, and patched holes in the wood trim made by a now late woodpecker (did the last part on mine own, no charge).
Ordered a new desk chair for the “Eclectic Den”, should be here tomorrow.
Last mowing done on Saturday, followed by a final sprinkler test tomorrow. Then I’ll be shutting it down for the winter. The grass is starting to go dormant.
Supper tonight will be grilled pork steaks with leftover rice from the hens. After a phone conference about our retirement investments (might be having supper for breakfast).
-
Happy 54th Troy...nope just Ice tea , don't partake in the dram...
Another long day, not to bad though, had good CFS at a quaint downtown Dallas steakhouse.
-
I'll start the pots ;)
52 and still dark here. We assembled furniture for one of the models yesterday. Mostly made in China or Viet Nam, not very good stuff. ::) :(
-
Happy 54th Troy...nope just Ice tea , don't partake in the dram...
Thanks Major 2!
I don't partake either...everybody has their limit. Mine was in 1995!!
-
Happy Birthday Troy!
Thank you, Russ T! Yesterday, I was the "birthday boy", but today, I'm back to being an old guy, getting lazier and fatter!

My last was in 85.
OK, things are looking up, went to the big city (Omaha) for some testing tube down the throat and all, things are not as bad as first thought. Not hernia any more, must have slipped back sometime (Not uncommon) The e tube was real narrow, they stretched it and gave me some muscle relaxers to help it stay that way, will try to see if I can wean off them in a month or so.
Good thing, got my first full night sleep in a long time, even missed the 2 am plumbing check, firgue not being able to drink most the day yesterday had something to do with it.
-
Del...
Good to hear that things weren't as bad as expected.
And, good to hear 85, too!
-
Del Hope things continue to improve.
Troy Just after the first of the year I’ll turn 65 and I can get my Senior discounts and all. Then I plan on callin’ it quits on birthdays too.
Pork steaks were great last night. Finished of f the leftover rice with them. Got the night off from cooking, but as we’re running low on leftovers, may have the wife pick up some fried chicken breasts from the offsite pantry’s deli while she’s shopping
The new desk chair has made it to Reno, but 'taint made it to the den yet.
-
I slept in today. I had late cup of Cawffee after I got up. The temps are warmer today. I had a couple of Chik-Filet sandwiches for Supper last night. No clue for Lunch or Supper today.
-
this says it all......
-
I like plain Beef Tacos, no Pumpkin Spice ones. Pumpkin pie is okay, but I would rather have sweet potato. I had some cheese crackers and some ham for Lunch. No clue for Supper.
-
It looks like we're having Burgers tonight for Supper, cooked on the patio, on the gas grill. They should be good tasting. We've not had grilled burgers in awhile.
-
Stayed on the mild side, but made some beef burritos tonight for supper, tasted good and no problem so far. I think we got it fixed, have heard from other people today who have had this done or know of others and it seems a lot of times it needes done from time to time. Was having trouble this summer swallowing salt tablets when it was hot out and I needed them, just chewed them. Ain't going to let it go that long next time since I know what is up.
-
Del Sounds like you got’er whooped! Just take’r easy for a while.
TLD Burgers on the grill are on the menu for tomorrow. I think are warming trend will allow for dinning on the terrace.
The chair arrived this afternoon and is now ensconced in the den under my behind as I type. Very comfortable!
-
It's comfortable out this morning. Having a cup of coffee, then packing up for a visit to the range. Going to try out some Olde E BP in my TD carbine, then practice some awful (off) hand shooting.
-
Rained a little last night, I think the first in several weeks. No range time for me, just more "route time"

Well I think the Eclectic Den is now complete. New sign and new chair have finished it up!
The weather was very accommodating last night and the burgers were consumed on the terrace. Flashlights were brought into use to keep track of our feline friends after it got really dark. A truly enjoyable evening.
I think I’m getting out of cooking tonight. We are heading downtown for the annual Octoberfest on Virginia Street. Grape stompin’, food, beer, music and lots’a people.
-
I slept in this morning, Thanks for the Cawffee. Moose has a haircut appointment this morning. Victoria and I are holding down the Fort until she gets back. It is time for a nap. We are in for Hot weather next week, the temps are going back to the 90s.
-
Moose has decided for us to have grilled burgers outside for Supper tonight. She is fixing potato salad and baked beans. Victoria and I had a good nap.
-
The Grill is ready to go for tonight. Moose is fixing the Baked Beans and Potato Salad. Things are coming together.
-
The Burgers were great, as well as the Baked Beans and Potato Salad. I finished eating before it got too dark to see the food.
-
Well we started out spending the afternoon at an Italian Fest, but ended up eating Greek for supper. There is a great little Greek restaurant just around the corner in downtown Reno. They have the best gyros around, so that’s what we had for supper.
-
We got one here in down town, but it's always been a PIA because of parking, I don't mind walking 3-4 blocks but Rita's knees won't handle it. They gave her a sticker now till she can get them fixed so we can park in the cripple spots. (My SD got mad at me for saying that, but told her since I was also legally disabled I could say that, kinda like some people and the N word. She was not pleased with me at all. )

You can't please everyone all the time.

Football fever in Dallas, the faithful turned out to root the home team as The Longhorns worked over Oklahoma...

Women ah girls eye candy everywhere in some shortlist skirts I've seen, in some cases I've seen wider belts !
The watering holes downtown were spilling out at the seams ... My Hotel was party central...
after a 8am-11pm work day, all I wanted was to get horizontal....

No joy here in Mudville some guys claiming to be from Slim's state come down and beat the locals by 2 points, sad, now they are 4 and 2 this year, heard they ain't lost 4 games in a year since the 50's, got them a new coach again, still paying at least 2 of the former ones last I heard, this one came with a 30 day warrenty and they waited to long and now it's up. LOL, they wanted to make more money and changed leauges and now it's bitting them in the arse, can't get the gigs to run up the points no more and play a lot more better teams.
Whining is the proper thing to do I guess.

Our teams won yesterday, Baylor, TCU, and Oklahma State. It took overtime for OSU to win over West Virginia. I really enjoyed hearing that the Longhorns beating Zero U. I slept in this morning, and I am enjoying a good cup of Cawffee on the Patio. Moose is taking Victoria to the Park. Breakfast on the Patio is in order when the girls get back from the Park. We have a slight breeze this morning, before the heat gets here this afternoon.
-
We had scrambled eggs and bacon for our outdoor Breakfast today. It was mighty tasty. We had some juice and Cawffee to wash it down. We had a little breeze, but the sun came out and temps began to rise. The forecast high today is 90. The heat has returned for a few days.

Moose is taking me out to Supper tonight for my Birthday. It is hard to believe that I am 68 years old.

Happy birthday TLD!! You've got about three years on me.
Got the trees trimmed yesterday. Leftover burgers for supper tonight. Beer, tuna salad and Brats for supper tomorrow.

I think if I had tried to take better care of myself, I don't think I'd have had as much fun getting to where I am!! :o ::) ;D

I believe both these statement to be very true.
However, when we were all much younger and less wise than we have become in our older years, we thought we would live forever.
Much of what we once did for fun and recreation, has come back to haunt us.
That is just part of living.
My best,

Rita went and got here teeth refitted today, she's gonna try cheesesteak for supper, been hungry for that the last few days.

Moose took me to Cotton Patch restaurant for my birthday. I had CFS, Mashed potatoes, and Corn. I had Blackberry cobbler for dessert. It was delicious. I ate too much, but it was worth it. I will be ready to go back there in about a year or so.

I slept in again this morning. I had a cup of Cawffee and a granola bar for Breakfast. No clue for Lunch or Supper today. The heat continues today with temps in the 90s.
Started out this morning in the low 60's, and we may reach/pass the record high of 92 set back in '09. But, oddly, it isn't very humid even near the coast...We'll take what we are dealt.
-
Woke up to 38(feels like 36) temp on the WC. Plus, it was foggier than blue blazes ::) :oIn the 60's now with sun ::)
-
Kinda lonely in here :o
Sun's out, but haven't checked the temp lately. Was up at 0230, when the wife got the call that our first great-grand child was on his way, Still waiting for his debut as of now ::)
-
Went and got a flu shot this morning, having coffee, I'm feeling much better, just a little worn out, I quit taking the muscle relaxers and it helped and no flair up.
-
Buck Hope by now you’ve got your new little great grand kid!
Tonight’s going to be grilled chicken and Mrs. Dash’s tater’s for supper. I don’t think the weather is going to allow dining on the terrace, as they are predicting th’orms around 5 or 6 tonight.
-
I slept in this morning. I had a cup of Cawffee and went back to sleep for awhile. We are in for a cold front this weekend, it is going to be in the low 80s, and still no rain,
-
No debut yet, but it shouldn't be much longer,I 'spect ::)
-
No clue for Supper tonight. I ordered a light to clip on the Patio umbrella to see after dark. I installed it this afternoon. I am anxious to see how it works when it gets dark. Moose will probably bring something home for Supper.
-
It looks like we are having Pizza Hut take-out Pizza tonight for Supper, and some Bud Lights to wash the Pizza down.
-
'Tis 41. High tomorrow 51. ::)

Went to the 6th Floor Museum, Texas Book Depository building site of the JFK Assassination.
Very interesting, I stood at the sniper nest, you are given a electronic head set guided tour
not much in the way of artifacts mostly photos & such.
Then we went to Kuby's Sausage House , I had a potato pancake & applesauce, Wiener Schnitzel , red cabbage & German potato salad.
It's in row of restaurants of all kinds, I enjoyed it .
There a was an live Accordion player, she played Lili Marlene for me
"...My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene"
I requested Edelweiss too, but see had not played it by the time we left ...oh well , I would have gotten misty eyed anyway.
-
Russ T, that's the same dinner we had. Wife cooked it and met me after work, we picnicked in the park. Walked around after as he tried to get pics of the changing leaves, sunset, and a 2 year old that won't pose. was a bit chilly, though, probably upper 50's at the time.
M2, maybe you should have asked if you could set up some targets out in the street and fire off a few rounds? :o
-
He made his debut at 5:25 P.M. our time. 7 pounds 4 Ozs, 20 1/2" long. Mother and baby are doing fine. Great Gramma is already in bed, all tuckered out ::) ;)
-
Congrats Buck :)
Here are two views , from the 6th Floor window firing position & the view of the Texas Book Depository note: the square window
at the Snipers nest as it appears today ...
I recall the day, where I was and what I was doing... Mr Stroke's Jr. High Science class.
Changed the World to a totally different reality.... Probably Johnson would have never been POTUS.
I doubt ,Nixon would have run , so no Watergate ( no Eagleton is spy on ) dirty tricks.
-
Morning y'all.
Coffee is hot.
Congrats, Buck.
'Tis 28 and mostly cloudy. High of 51.

Congratulations Buck!!!!
Now that the fretting is over, the doting can begin!
Pony, the weather prevented patio dining, being a tad too cool for the wife. The rain held off until sometime in the middle of the night, but no lightning or thunder. That’s back on the list for about 7:30 this morning.
Having friends over for grilled salmon ,rice and grilled spare-geese tonight. Supposed to be a little cool for outside dining, but if the rain holds off, may light a fire in the mobile fireplace and make some s’mores.
-
I slept in this morning, the low last night was 51. I had my morning Cawffee on the Patio, and temp was 55. Moose took Victoria to the Park for a walk. I am sure she will enjoy herself. She is a cool weather dog.
-
We had Blueberry waffles, scrambled eggs, and Little Smokies for Breakfast. We had Breakfast on the Patio, we were entertained by the squirrels running along the fence and jumping from branch to branch. The animals love this cool weather.
-

Might have been a lot of mushrooms around also. ::)

I hope this cool weather lasts a little longer. No clue for Supper tonight.

I'm thinking too, The Joint Chiefs recommended their use in Viet Nam
so did former President Eisenhower & Barry Goldwater... Fortunately, Johnson resisted them , we might have been closer without LBJ.
-
Wife is back up at the hospital. I've got the yard work done and the yearly mileage rebate paper work done with Kia ::)
-
34 degrees this morning! drove two hours to visit my Mother at the nursing home in Atlantic, IA. At least she still recognizes me, but can't remember where I live or work

I try not to remember where I work, seems like the truck knows the way by itself. But at least it knows the way home, too.

Have to go to verk today for the monthly systems outage/updates.

The rain let up enough to allow me to grill the salmon and the spare=geese, but started coming down again to put a damper on the outside fire. So, we had one in the Livingroom fireplace after dinner.
The Honey Locust tree in the front yard is doing a good job of covering up the grass, so I quess fall has finally fell. The Viirginia Creeper in the front corner is a nice shade of orange and yellow. Guess I’ll have to cut it back sometime this week and get ready for next year.
-
I'll start the pots ;)
It's 29 here(with a feels like of 26!) and dark :o Might shove the Boss's intention of skirting the big home back a day because of it ::)
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
'Tis 45 and dark. High of 70.

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. We had kabobs, baked potatoes, and a salad last night for Supper. We ate on the Patio. It was a little cool, but nice. I guess that Fall has finally here in the Metroplex.
-
56° in the Metroplex. yeah I'm still in Dallas about two more days, then over to Greenville ,
They're saying rain Wed. and cooler Friday ...that's to my liking :)
Heading out shortly for another day , to finish the CEDIA Loadout , we return in 2016 to do it all again, then San Diego in 2017... Denver in 18.
-
Went to the Twisted Root place for a Burger ...they claim " the best Burger in Texas " :-\
Stood in line , ordered the Kevin Bacon... Bacon & Danish Blue Cheese w/ onion straws ( fried)
I don't know about best in Texas, not even sure its the best on that street, in Deep Ellum :-\
It's in a Quaint, old section re- purposed row of eatery's ...busy, youth hang, kinda place
Given a choice, I'd op out on a return, not that it was bad, it was OK to good , just not great or the best ...IMHO
I should mention it is a Bison Burger , which would account it being rather dry .
On a scale of 1-10 it gets a 5
Points added for the ol homeless bum sitting in the entry , munching on a hand out burger
-
Best burger in Houston area is a toss up of me...Miller's Cafe on the corner of Space Center and Bay Area Blvd., and Dry Creek in the Heights area.
Glad to be back in Tejas, this morning. The high is to be around 82! Finally, something resembling Fall weather.
Went to Pass Christian Mississippi with Miss Red this weekend for a fund raising event and reunion for her High School. Ever seen a monkey in a black tie? I sure felt like one. The event had great food hosted by area restuarants, an awesome band, too. They raised over $200K!
If anybody would like a deal on some property facing the Gulf, there is plenty to be had...I said a deal, not cheap! A lot of folks didn't rebuild after Katrina, and the community is much less populated than it used to be...and New Orleans is the only one that got any press...something ain't right with this picture.
On my second cup of coffee and back to work....for now.
-
Well Major I would never judge a place on a burger that I had ordered moldy cheese on, seems like that ain't hardly fair. ::) ;)
-
Thought some here might like this that I made up today, hopefully I won't have to explain it to anyone, if I have to, please ask someone so I don't have to use the Y word on you. LOL

Morning y'all.
Coffee is hot.
My wife got it, Del. ;)

-
I slept in this morning. I managed to find a dab of Cawffee left on the fire. I made some French Toast for my breakfast. No Lunch planned. Moose has a School function tonight, so she will probably bring Supper tonight.
-
I took an afternoon nap and grabbed a snack. Supper is an unknown, till Moose gets home tonight.
-
Brats and baked beans for supper.
Slim
-
Up early, so I’ll put the pots on. Enjoy!
Making nachos for supper tonight. Maybe some Tecates to go with them
-
Thanks for the coffee. On my second cup now. 'pose ta rain today with increasing chances through Saturday.
Sounds like a good weekend to reload, and do some leather work.
-
Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. We are expecting rain through the weekend. I hope that it does not dampen the NCOWS shoot at Greenville this weekend.
-
Me too.... I head over tomorrow... I'm off today, CEDIA when extremely well...
-
I had some errands to run today. I got them done and got some Taco Bell for lunch. Victoria and I had Lunch on the Patio. No clue for Supper tonight. The weather folks are forecasting Rain for tomorrow and Friday.
-
Pizza tonight. We finished skirting the Titanic(76 ft, long) today. Got our Kia over to the dealership to finalize the the mileage rebate forms. Will do the SIL's Friday ::)
-
Ate Taco Bell Sat night, was out and about and we were hungry, was after 11 and the one we go to for quick Tex-Mex closes at 11. ::) Guess it's been about 5 years so I was due. Still ain't ate at BK or MD this Century and only twice at Wendys. LOL
-
Last night in the Dallas Sheraton .... took my crew to Love Airport earlier, they should be @ 30,000 by now....
I drive over the Greenville in the morning, and shoot Fri & Sat. , guessers say rain . hope not
-
Another early morning! Hot water and coffee is ready!

Moose made a pot of Cawffee this morning. I slept in again this morning. No clue for Breakfast or Lunch. We had Kung Pao chicken and Egg Rolls for Supper last night, no leftovers. No clue for Supper tonight.
-
Got to Greenville, a tad early to check in so I went out to the range... a number of pards were there, just wrapping up lunch.
Yuma & RCJ , Okla Tom, Dakota Ike , saw Cole & TJ...and several others.
About 14 of us when to the Cotton Patch for dinner...I see why TLD like it, I didn't get the CFS , but tried the the Catfish & shrimp plate
which I enjoyed.
Going down for breakfast shortly to see what the day will bring weather wise. :-\
-
Moose took me to Cotton Patch for my Birthday, the CFS is the Best. I may have to eat Supper there tonight. I did not get much sleep last night. The power kept going off. I have to pack my bags and I will be off to Greenville this morning.
-
Coffee and water are up, not so much the sun yet!

Morning y'all.

Planning on homemade Hooter’s wings and fries for supper. I don’t look as good as the Hooter’s girls in shorts and tee shirts, so I think I’ll go with serving the food in my sweats!
-
It's gone to far now. >:( ::) :P ;D
-
It's gone to far now. >:( ::) :P ;D
That's just wrong!
Maybe instead we could have Hoppes #9 flavored latte?
-
I have a 1/2 of a pint bottle of the old #9, maybe should bring a bottle (I have some cute little corked perfume bottles that hold about an 1/2 ounce) to the muster next year, we could all smell good at the banquit.
(LOL maybe a second as a door prize.)
-
I miss the old Hoppe's. :(
We got to the part we needed to be outside and we got rained out. Hopefully it won't be raining tomorrow.

Morning y'all.
Coffee is hot.
1.5" of rain.
'Tis 55, overcast and blustery. High of 58.

-
The wings were great last night, and I didn’t embarrass myself by trying the tee shirt and shorts. The sweats worked just fine!
Time for the first cleanup of fall. Need to mow the pine needles in the back yard, and cut down the Virginia creeper in the front.
Pan fried Cajun catfish, Cat Head biscuits and dirty rice (gotta get a shovelful of dirt before the frost sets in) for supper tonight.
-
Morning y'all.
Coffee is hot.

Missed seeing you last night Jim, they had some great TexMex , a very good feed.... Berger Sharpshooters are the bench mark of how a Regional is run.... a true class act....
I have officially altered my profile Major Smudge is now Major Mud ;D
Coined as such at the NCOWS South Wet Regional ...thank you all, I had great time
-
The cat fish turned out great! Added cayenne to mine, but left the wife’s more mild. The dirty rice wasn’t too dirty and the Cat Head biscuits weren’t too furry.
We’ve got our afternoon winds back. 17 mph with gusts to 30.

"SHE" had a rough day, tried her hand at repainting the front bedroom yesterday
First she had to Spackle in all the tiny holes from my daughters pictures, ribbons and general stuff kids put up on walls.
then we have these heave wooden deco shutters , which "SHE" tried to remove and got CLOCKED on the noggin
and saw "STARS" .... "SHE" jammed stubbed her big toe, stumbling out the door, I doubt it's broken , but "SHE" goes on as if it is ...
Then as "SHE" was going to the Airport to pick me up after 3 weeks in Texas ( Job ), the door of my X-over caught her finger....
So I took her to Outback for dinner, that helped but I'm sure how much , I'll catch flack even though I was nowhere to blame )
Oh! and the room.... not so good , unfinished with holiday's everywhere.... far be it from me to say " pea turkey !
you saw it here...in print ...now mums the word ...I'll say nothing ...course when "SHE" asks, it will be a loaded question
and then I tread lightly ....pray for me :-\

Bad move, come in next time, listen to the whining and then just say, "suck it up butter cup." Go on, I dare you. ;D
Dang they want you to do things then you help and they is never happy, no good deed goes unpunished.
Mine came home last night, been at a Halloween thing at the church, took a big dutchoven and spoon, they old dry ice thing. Had a big chunk left, didn't know what to do with it, asked me if I knew what to do. Guess dropping it in the toilet wasn't what she had in mind. ::)
-
Forgot, I had a hissy fit at Menards SAT, wasn't my idea to go there, but that's where little brother bought the shingles for Mom's house ::) Was short so we went to get 2 more bundles, our friend Charles drove and I rode along cause I was expecting trouble, Charles being a little shy, I figured he might need help. Anyway, went inside and paid for them, headed to the yard, found the shingles, of course SKU #'s and the numbers on the bundles don't jive. Only one other group in the yard, but plenty of yard birds wandering around, but neither group getting help.
OK, guy came over near us, I hollered for him to come over he did, explained the problem, he said he was busy with a customer inside and would be back, hmm went inside and didn't take anthing, bet he had to poop and didn't want to admit it. ::) ::) ::)
Anyway, I called 411 and got the CS desk #, called them, told them we were over by the shingles in a white pick-up and needed help now and that nobody seemed to want to help us. He said he'd page. One of the fork-lifts came over, explained we needed to find the right shingles and showed him the paper, said he didn't know, would go seek out help, never got off. As I was dialing customer service two more showed up, one walking, one with fork-lift, FL made it first, we explained the problem to him, he did get off and say that this one pile was what he thought was right. I cut open a corner with my knife and we decided it was right, so he said how many do you need. told him two and he said he could load them fro us if we wanted. (load it dummy, yer hardly old enough to shave and we're both pushing 60) ::) No movement out of him, I grabbed one loaded it and grabbed another, as he's telling me he can help. Told him not to bother, and he asked if I had the right amount, told him the paper he looked at said 2, I loaded one and then another one, and when I went to school 1+1=2, but doubted his education taught him that.
As we were getting in he told us to have a nice day, and I told him it was hard when dealing with lazy stupid people.
Yes I was rude, yes they all were stupid and lazy, all seemed to be listening to the feetball game or someting on their phones.
-
BTW I'm posting smut all over the internet today, don't tell Slim. ;D
-
Told one of that breed "lazy stupid people" It'd take less time hunting what I was looking for " , than explain... "what I was looking for was, and how it used " ::)
Now this genius, had on a orange vest with " PRO LOADER " inked on it , pro loader ? .... right up there with French Fry specialist.
I'm not there to educate the fricking hired help.... >:( go professionally load something....
-
Go to the bulk nail bin with a dial caliper sometime and sort nails into rejects and keepers, most of them don't know you can use nails for other than nailing boards together, when making knife rivets you don't want the slightly oversize ones ( figure they are from different machines.)
-
Done, teeth set and sharpened, wood oiled with Canola, tested it on a scrap 2X4, works great.
-
Two man or one,Del? ::)
40 some degrees here,still dark. Rain in the offing. Part of that hurricane they're saying. We set two post lamps yesterday to replace bad ones,two more to go. ::)

Brought the rain in from Texas it appears , it twas nice yesterday , decided to do something I just don't do any more
I went to a Cinema :-\
Wanted to see "The Martian " Ridley Scott does good stuff , Damon is good & deadpan funny
good film.
Had a good "ol" fashion American burger at Johnny Rockets , and a Chocolate shake.
I had been working 10- 12 hours a day for 3 weeks , returned form Texas and treated me to some R&R PTO
Figured Movie & burger & shake was a good reward....
Planned to shoot today, but the rain, :( I had enough of that shooting in Texas ::) so ... not sure what I'll do
maybe reload, or head to FFL :-\ for poke around. Always something cool there to buy drool lust for.
often when I'm tapped out , gun money wise.
maybe Sonic's for Chicago dog :-\ Willy's would be better , but I don't care to drive over 20 miles for Hot-dog today.
-
The Buck saw, one man, no eyes. ::) ;D
Ahh, Chicago type hot dogs, guy I worked with was from around there, was going back and was telling his first stop was going to be some place that had the best dogs in Sheet-cargo. Lead him on, asked him what he was gonna have on it, gave me a big list, and then I tord him just go down to Wilbur to Karpasecki's and he could get dogs so good you only needed a little mustard on them. ;D
-
Saw #2 done, a bit odd, paid $5 for it a couple years ago. Homemade from a piece of a bigger cross cut, it is 19" long at the blade. Front appears to have been cut with a chisel, most likely hot from the look, but probally wrapped in wet rags to protect the temper. (Temper seems the same the length when I sharpened it) Handle holes are punched, most likely also hot. As a cross cut the teeth don't need set, and it sharpened up nice and cut a 4X2 in half easily.
A friend who grew up in timber country told me he'd seen a lot of those homemade ones like that used as topping saws before light wight chainsaws were around A good use for a 2 man missing a couple teeth from damage.
Did the handle with Canola oil also, a lot of surface rust on the blade, but have it clean and stablized, some pretty good pitting but it will cut fine.
-
Kind of has a character of it's own, Del ;)
51 here,raining pretty good. Been like that all night. Got both poles changed, the last one was a real stinker. Found that somehow, the under ground part of the power cable had the jacket cut. Had to redo the bad sections in situ( not easy). Plus, since the resident wasn't home, we couldn't check our work after finishing. Believe the breaker is probably tripped because of the short. Will have to go back to that one at some point ::)
-
Looking at 68° and a 83° High... Chance of rain 80% , figures my last Vacation day , .... ::)
Did nothing of yesterday's pass times, no shooting, or reloading , no FFL visit, and no Hot-dog either , course there is today :)
X-Over needs a bath , but it's raining and an exorcise in futility, need to presser-wash the north siding .....again it's raining.
Guess I'll try for the FFL visit & a hot-dog... I'm sure work will call with some question or need , It's been that way.
maybe one of TLD's naps ;D
-
Early morning for me...after gaining 8 lbs in the past 4 months and reaching a record weight for me, I got up early and went to the gym to try and regain my girlish figure. Coffee (no pumpkin spice, black only!) is ready now, and I could use a cup.
-
Rained last night, and off and on today.
Slim
-
Rained most the day, cleared about 3 :ish
FFL had a piece I'm interested in ... H&R Mod 649 with 18" barrel , in un-fired condition not sure I saw the second Cyl. though :-\
I collect H&R's , the working mans gun, functional , well constructed , reliable & in many cases butt ugly .
they were inexpensive, but not cheap made , H&R took pride.... some like the Mod. 999 & 646 can command $500-600 +
un-fired in the box.
Photo is an example, not the gun I looked at....

Rained most of the day yesterday. Got off early as we couldn't do anything in the rain. Felt like crap anyway with this cold/sinus stuff ::) :(

Thanks for the coffee...58 degress, 7:30 and still not good daylight, yet. I'll be glad when we quit saving time.

I'll be glad when we quit saving time.
Not me. I'll be going to work in the dark regardless, and when we change to "daylight wasting time" I'll come home in the dark, too. I vote that we should keep "springing forward" enough that it never gets dark before 8PM.

All good points! Where I live, it never really gets dark with all the light pollution!
-
Well we got some rain yesterday. Not even much a drizzle most of the morning, then started to come down heavy about midafternoon. It did quit just in time to put brats on the grill, but the beer, brats and tater salad had to be consumed inside.
Getting’ close to a hard frost overnight, so the wife has started bringing in some of the patio plants. Now I’ve got to find places around the house to put hangers to put them (It was easier when she just had annuals outside). At least these are all in hanging pots and don’t require any digging.
-
Major, H&R used to make a Handy Gun set in 20 ga, 30-30 and 22 Hornet, all in a take down case, always thought that was the coolest, would make just a wonderful truck gun.
About 30 years ago, helped a friend get a good deal on one of those H&R in 22 LR that sorta kinda resembled a SA. Unique gun, should have had documentation done on it and kept it for myself. Gun belonged to Jesus, bought it from his wife, (not sure it was quite leagal ;D) ex worked with Jesus's wife, see Jesus was in the hospital and she needed the money, and she really didn't want Jesus to have it when he got out and got rid of the long sleeved coat. (No Jesus was not Mexican and didn't pronounce it Hey-zus ::))
-
Wife is moving plants in as we speak(type). Had frost already, but she still had some on the porch, likely to get too cold for them to stay there soon.
-
We’ve had the frost on roofs and cars exposed to our clear night skies a couple of times, so the potted stuff is all huddling on the patio under the large pine tree in the backyard. However next Monday overnight ambient temps are going to be below freezing, so this weekend will be time to decide what we want to save and what gets replaced next year. Luckily most of what’s left outside are annuals, so they get sacrificed to the lack of places to put them.
White puffy cumulus clouds in a deep blue sky today, with a high of 54 and a warming trend through Saturday, and then we start cooling off.
Got a by on cooking tonight. Planning on grilled pork steaks with a side of stuffing tomorrow.
-
Cooking for left overs, did a ham yesterday, cooked pintos in the ham bone from the last one, this one will go into something. Pintos are re-fritoing in skillet now for burritos, got a whole hog worth of ribs in the smoker ( a gift from someone who don't like ribs but bought a hot) will smoke them good a couple hours and tomorrow will go in the lectick roaster with some homemade sauce, don't have time to baby the 10 hours as is proper, and will still be good.

Del the Handy Rifle is still made, unknown in the set you mention though...

See when the beefed up the frames they dropped the hornet and 30-30, both those calibers make sense in a truck gun.
-
Coffee and water are hot and ready. Dive in!
Modified the menu for tonight. Swapped out the pork steaks and goin' for grilled chicken instead.

I fell in my backyard last Friday in the rain. I have been on a cane since then. I felt well enough to go out for Supper last night. I had CFS, mashed garlic potatoes, green beans, and a salad. I had Peach cobbler for dessert.

Take her easy out there. I slipped on the two step stairway from the garage to the house a little while ago. Screwed up my left wrist and hand (nothing broken). Took forever to get back to normal, just don’t recover as quick as I used to.

You can say THAT again,Rus-t :o ::)
Wife has a beef stew going in the Crock-Pot, smells pretty good so far ::)
In the 40's here,cloudy. Took the hamster-mobile in for warranty extra rust proof this morning. They did an inspection and came up with over 1300 bucks worth of stuff they say needs to be done :o I'm thinking they just want to increase their bottom line ::) :-\

+ 2 Rus-t...I resemble that remark....
fell in the mud, flat on my face in Greenville TX. twice ! ...still aching
-
I guess once we break 60, we have to be careful not to break anything else.
Dinner has been prepped waiting on "She Who Still Works" to get home before I start the coals in the grill.

Was gonna prep the boiling oil, Rita hid it. ::)
She's off to go buy candy and other errands, not allowed to hand out candy either, after the one year she went with the kids and left me in charge, I thought it was funny, the kids and parents thought it was funny, Rita got home and didn't. ::)
Had on the nightshirt and cap, dog on a leash, when they came to the door and hollored Trick or Treat, I looked at them and said, "you woke me for this?"
-
No Trick or Treat here... too rural ... to far between and back to folks doors :-\
We used to take Kelly to Melbourne to make the rounds with her cousins...
Now she inters Pet costume contests sponsored Pets Mart , has wins or places most every year.... She puts a lot into it.
Last year, She won a years supply of dog food from Purina, and Photo session for a road side Billboard.
She donated the food back to an animal shelter, and she & her dog were on a Bill Board for 6 Months.
She entered one at Disney's Celebrations last week , she won dog food , pet toys and I think some $$

We don'thave many kids live in our neighborhood, but we get 150-200, young ones, minority kids what ever that means, nice kids, figure they come over because they live in bad neighborhoods to the east of us. So we pass it out, most the neighbors do and are home, mostly an over 40 area we live in.
-
Over the past twenty or more years from when I came back to this house to live, at the most there have only be twelve kids on one night time that have shown up for trick or treat. Almost doesn't make buying treats to hand out worth while. The past two years there have been None!
It seems most Parents these days take the kids to the Mall's
I have Microwave Pop Corn bags for tonight should any show up.
I'll just have to wait and see.
My best,
Blair

We get very few trick or treaters where I live. I expect even fewer today as the weather isn't cooperating. Miss Red was clever and bought Skiddles...which I don't like, but the kids seem to like them.
-
Very few Trick or Treaters around here either. Very few kids in the neighborhood. We’ve got candy just in case, and I do crave a pumpkin every year just for the fun of it.
-
Skiddles, yuck , not the candy it's :o Skiddles-pox turns my stomach .... whomever though of it was a pure commercial
genius, ( you remember the brand ::) ) but to approved that disgusting display, just sick.
-
While I really do crave a pumpkin PIE, I meant I usually CARVE a pumpkin each year. :-[
-
Skiddles-pox ... I'm glad it's not contagious!
-
Miss Red dressed up today in her period correct clothes (same as in my profile picture) for work at the resale shop today. She strapped on a bling black belt and some black bling holsters I made. She couldn't take the Rugers that she sometimes shoots. No license for open carry. She didn't scare anybody, but she did get called "Annie Oakley" :)
She is making us some cheesy shrimp and grits for supper tonight...mmmmMMMMmmm! ;D
-
Looks like our last nice day for a while. 72 right now, but it starts dropping after this.
Steaks on the Barbie tonight, along with baked taters, veggies and garlic bread.
-
Left over stew tonight for us, after the Trick or Treaters get done. Our next to youngest son was over today and started in painting our ceilings. I'm a little fumey right now( cough, cough) ::)
-
Home alone ..."SHE" has gone over the Melbourne to visit her sister... and help her with treater's
The deer are braving the road sides feeding , and they are getting hit , so rather than a run back late night "SHE" going spend the night....
I closed the gate and the house is 400' back and mostly dark , I expect as per usual, no one ...
some TV , and the rack , nothing more spooky than that....
-
Skittles, remember them well worked at a place the biddy in the front office ran around drinking coffee. eating Skittles and complained to the vending machine guy when the caffeine free diet Pepsi ran out before he got back. ::)
-
No trick or treaters here, they go to town instead of coming here where there's one house per mile. Our church was going to have a bonfire and hayride at one member's farm, cancelled due to rain and mud, just had it in the church gym(without the fire and hay, of course).

Y'all go here Adios October
