Invidiosulus Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 It’s time to make a couple of gallons of chili for the Parrish chili cook off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I've been in a couple of chili cook-offs. One thing I learned ... call the spice level Medium, even if it is red hot lava. You don't want to scare people from trying it. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won’t even have a description. just bowl A,B,C,D, etc. I wouldn’t be surprised if mine was the hottest offering. Last year was a bunch of bland/sweet ground beef tomato soups with two random outliers that were different. My kids insisted that I sign up this year so they would have at least one chili they would really like… It can’t be that hot if my kids eat it, right? 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 My chili came in 2nd place. Not bad for being the spiciest of the bunch. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroMara Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I left my house again , can´t stand it there anymore because of continuing troubble w/the wife. Living by a good friend of mine in a neighbor town for a while. Due to my accident at work approx. 2 month ago I can´t work and beeing ill still. Have to look for an appartment as intended a couple of month ago. When I´m in better physical condition I have to find a new job as well. Things aren´t that funny here. Happy that my friend welcomed me with open arms and heart, he´s got a brilliant home audio system as well . This friendship is more than 40 years old . If the accident at work had not happened, I would have a new apartment long ago. My marriage is now finally over, I had in the summer still hope that my wife and I find together again, this hope I have now finally buried. You will hear less from me in the coming months, but I'll keep you up to date, I promise 🙂 2 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Thanks for the update @MicroMara. Sad for everyone involved and I'm sure you'll get it sorted out. You're a good man and when good men disappear I kind of wonder why. Not such a great thing to hear but it's life today. God's speed brother and know you're family in here will miss you. Stay safe! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 How's thing's in the land of cactus @grasshopper? 76 here today. Warmin up again with no rain in sight til the middle of next week. First day of fall is Saturday so there's that. Mowed til dark last nite for some strange reason so now it's just watering all the bushes. Gotta replace the rope on the flag pole out front, which is usually a pita. Aside from that it's just another day at the office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy parked his refurb'd '45 Mack fire truck out front so everybody could find it. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather is being closer to normal. Sunny and dry . Just like when it wasn't sposed to be. ------------------------------ had a scare yesterday. You could consider this a PSA My other wife [wife's secretary] Didn't show up for work and wife had talked to her the evening before... Very much not like her.... Wife did a welfare check... The gal had fallen. Couldn't get up... couldn't reach her phone. Broke her hip and collarbone. ....if it weren't for her being missed at work [like if this happened on the weekend], the outcome could have been very bad. I am not endorsing any particular product or service. ------------------------------- on the lighter side when we bought this place, we got an unusual perk. Spaces in the town cemetery........ that cinched the deal -------------------------------- an "on-topic" comment. Mark your calendars drinking this medium/dark roast Kona. A little cream ans sugar makes it pretty good. I need to look at my grinder. The selector for amount the machine grinds has gotten temperamental. Hoping it just needs the coffee dust cleaned from it. We have a couple back-up grinders.... burr mills... hand crank 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 @grasshopper Sorry to hear about that second wifey. Good thing mama bear did some nosin. Man that kind of stuff makes me wonder. I think the oldest checks to see if I'm on line daily. At least that's what she told me. lol Otherwise I could be laying around for days blowing up like a small Goodyear blimp. My buddy the mailman keeps an eye on things too. lol He's getting close to retirement though. The lil hotty that's gonna replace him just doesn't have it figured out yet. lol Normal today. He gives me a couple days to get my mail and if I don't he's bangin on the front window laffin at me. Cruel and unusual punishment for sure. That Kona is like drinking JP4 for me. I put on my roller skates when I drink that stuff. Lil tune for ya weather wise. Enjoy! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
