Wolfbane

Was the 409 the GM engine that had the weird and heavy cylinder heads? Had one come into the garage I worked in for one summer during High School. Seems long ago now but they were pretty rare up here. Wb

So did they make it or turn back to balmy Edmonton? I know It would be a close one to call... but I take my chances on Yellowknife and foam. 🛩 Wb

It usually the Urologist’s they love to annoy in the ER and non-urology wards. Other than that ‘all things in moderation’. 🏥 I’ll sent you a five lb bag of the good stuff (Dutch Or German licorice) in exchange for a few of your hand writing samples. Only requirement is that you have to consume it all in five contiguous days, or less. Also, you’ve got to wait until I have you heavily insured with me as sole beneficiary. Double indemnity if you have the big one. I of course, will pay the cost of shipping too.😉 Wb

Throw in some Hurst Lightning Rod Shifters and like maybe Linda Vaughn in her heyday? Which was before my heyday. Here's an interesting comparison between the 2019 Ford Mustang GT350 and the new 2020 Toyota Celica Supra to get back closer to on-topic: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a28783877/2020-toyota-supra-vs-2019-ford-mustang-shelby-gt350/ Wb

You can be eating more bananas daily than Magilla Gorilla, and a whole lot of all the other high K foods (baked potatoes, etc.) and still have a problem if you really over indulge on this stuff. I had about eight of the ten, or so, signs of Potassium Deficiency before I finally clued in. Took my BP (became high, in place of optimal) and had the blood work done and figured it out with my physician quickly. You are probably not over eating black licorice. I had been eating a few ozs of it per day for a couple of weeks in the desert heat here and thought it was the fact that I was not used to 80 to 100 degree F heat that had caused most of the symptoms. Wb

No chance of picking up chick’s either. Well maybe really old chicks. Wb

I don’t think he’s overstating the risk at all. I love the real deal black licorice (i.e. like the Dutch make, which can be sweet or salty or even both as licorice is naturally very sweet - not the pretend black licorice like Twizzlers). Consumed far too much of it over a few weeks a couple of years back and had to go on first IV K, then 198 mg of Potassium Citrate orally per day to counter act it. No running to the can as a timely warning either. Now, when I get some of the good stuff I restrict consumption to a single small piece a day. Still have to take the oral K supplement daily though. Sometimes too much of of a good thing really can be a bad thing! Wb

If you are talking the real deal made from Glycyrrhizinic acid (i.e.the real McCoy); mine too. Love the damn Dutch made stuff, it's addictive. Just got to be very careful of the amount of daily consumption. It can cause your Potassium level to plummet and blood pressure to sky-rocket. Trust me that is not good. Wb

Good for sleeping on warm nights: Wb

The penultimate day to have planted in the north was October 25th but it was freezing and windy with snow that night. Now that I’m south I could plant anytime at night between the full moon and the new moon here this month. Trouble is my seed garlic is a few thousand miles away and I would not have been able to bring bulbs across the border. Didn’t even want to try to talk C&BS into that one. Also, the soil here is far too crappy. I’m Werewolf proof as they naturally fear Wolfsbane and Wolfbane. Besides not one showed up here last night. Candy or not. Wb

Here they are called Popeye Candy Sticks now. All white, solid and no number 9 red dye on the end. Used to be called Popeye Candy Cigarettes. Like even a blind kid would equate them with tobacco! Wb

So were candied apples. When I started going without my father on Halloween I used to make a mental note of which neighbors provided the homemade stuff and not having an X-ray machine handy decide what I felt safe eating and what didn’t. Some of it consumed between houses. Wb

Good luck!👍 Wb

Thank - yes, enjoying my stay so far. Weather good, spouse trying to not be too helpful. (She still operates like a walking, talking volume remote regarding my stereo here). So things are getting done. I also get to play electrician and plumber for a couple of hours as home maintenance, like rust, never sleeps. I have been to Huntington Beach; having toured through California a number of times. That said: Mostly before the people running the large cities there decided to stop imposing common sense. Wb

They’d probably be mine if they were in Phoenix. Nice surprise for the wife too. Wb

Partially explains why the German’s keep coming every 20 to 50 years for extended stays. Of course, Napoleon did not improve the mood. Especially WRT the contingent from the former Prussia. Wb

Followed by a second sitting on a porcelain throne? Wb

To win the World Series. In any case it was a good game if you weren’t an Astro’s fan last night. Wb

My vote: Halloween Kisses. My parents used to throw those filing pullers in the trash. I did the same thing for my girls when they went trick or treating. Of course, I ‘inspected’ everything in their bags for quality control purposes. 😇 Wb

Flew in on Sunday. My arms are still tired!🤡 Wb

Chinese Military Yak? Must have got too old to carry ammunition to Hong Kong. Probably dispatched like George Patton did that donkey blocking ‘his bridge’ in Italy then added to cookie’s pot. Wb

Look on the bright-side: Snowing means relatively warm if it’s not windy.❄️ Barbecuing Rib Steak here tonight for dinner. Where it’s still Damn 🥵! Wb

Making a note of this now. ✍🏻 Let us us know here if you decide to move to Nigeria 🇳🇬? Or any suchother such paradise on earth. 🤑 Wb

I own upgraded Belles and before that upgraded Cornwall’s. 1982 and 1979 respectively. I preferred the Cornwall’s for Rock and Roll and the Belles for everything else. I have not heard the Jubilee’s that many people recommend.🎼 That said, bringing speakers any larger than the two pairs mentioned above and what I already have for home theatre use would probably result in great sound... until after the household women spot them. The next sound I’d expect to hear after that is the sound of soil hitting the dark box I’ve been dragged into; formerly known as Jubilee’s. It will be in the back forty on a dark and stormy night.☠️ Wb

Good deal on the mower! 👍 Forecasted high of 85 Degrees F here in the desert today. Hotter here today than the hottest summer day this year back north. I can see the residue of snow ❄️ in my home cameras back in the GWN. I fully serviced my snowblower and parked it in the garage awaiting my return. My Canada 🇨🇦 Goose parka in the front closet. Wb
