Tarheel Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Raining again....grass will be a foot high before the rainy spell stops. Cooking dinner for a school chum who has been diagnosed with lung cancer. His wife too! He's a year younger than me and a good guy. We played Little League baseball together. Neither he nor his wife are smokers. Bought a 2 pack of chuck roast and a key lime pie from Costco. Cutting up onions, carrots, leaving the new potatoes whole. Flour, salt and pepper and brown it off on all sides. Into the oven for three hours with the vegetables added after two hours. Dinner rolls and that's it. It's enough for several meals and since they are both sick it will come in handy. Feeling sad..... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Windy here as we wait on a tropical storm. It's been extremely unremarkable here today other than the abnormal breeze out of the north. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet your wife has seen some stuff over the years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Carl's hurricane checklist, Vodka, ice chest full of ice for the shaker, food and just for tradition the standard "bread and milk", for some reason the first thing they run out of at the stores ? It would be good to be his neighbor, as long as you like music ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughing it in style, well with a whole house generator you're not roughing it at all. Reminds me of when we broke down once in Kevins bus, were on the side of the road waiting on the huge tow truck, in the AC with a drink eating fried chicken, and of course sat TV. I told him I have never been stuck on the side of the road quite like this before, we were not really stuck, he was towing his truck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
