I noticed the syrup choice too. And from a Chef no less! I couldn't read the container very well, what is that, 5W-20?! Full synthetic I imagine?'

Aunt Jemima high fructose corn syrup artificially maple flavored pancake slobber with preservatives.

LF's MIL had the brain tumor removed yesterday at Duke.  She will have a plastic dome replacing the skull that was lost due to surgery.  She is already up on her feet and feeling fine.  Tough 82 year old!

Wow, that's great.

 

When I first started reading the post I initially thought it was a post about a car.  Here at work, MIL stands for Malfunction Indicator Lamp (check engine light).

So I'm correct - full synthetic. The weights a bit off  though - 0W-20 and 0W40 are syrups of choice here -

Was told by an older Volvo mechanic that a check engine light would never leave you stranded beside the road. So far so good and have removed the electrical tape covering the light on dash...:emotion-21:

They typically only leave you stranded once they start flashing.

When the ETM went out, I was in limp mode. Was at work in Tally and had to go home in that condition, until I could sort out the problem. Could only go so fast and riled up a young guy with his GF in his new car. Had a few laughs with him. and berated his new car before limping onto interstate. How embarissing.  Only cost several hundred to repair. Just missed the deadline for free replacement.If I would have gotten her a 98, it would not have been a problem. Oh well, after several years, still going. Think I remember it flashing...:emotion-21:

Don't be chugging it.

 

Well helll, you're close enough to the border to start thinking about a US version of the famed Sugar Shacks!! Make those snow cones with maple syrup poured over the top - mmm good. Crispy maple syrup. Good idea eh?!

When I was little (yes, a looooong time ago) an older lady down the street would cook down maple syrup and when we had a fresh snow she'd scoop some clean snow, pour the thickened syrup over it and give it to us for a treat.  Now days, I'd be afraid to do that with the acid rain we have.  Who knows, maybe it was bad then but it sure was good.

Looks comfy.

It is indeed. I bought that in 92 while stationed in S.Korea as one of those "mink" blankets. It's now over the lazy boy recliner for the winter months. That chair with that blanket knocks out everyone who stays in it. Super comfy. Best $20 I spent on a blanket.
