None more than any other. Steve, we used to throw rocks at this big as hornets nest... then hop on our bikes and haul ***. This was in a neighborhood... Houses ten feet apart. Elden, to hook a mud hen using bread for bait was too easy... even when we weren't fishing for them... They put up a good fight... kids will play. I grew up in a big town.. Elkhart,IN ~45,000 my friends didn't live on the wrong side of the tracks ... but, we played in the railroad yard. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he is, he just ran in saying paw paw I caught fish, all he had was a lure. It's tiny but it's his second one today, and ever. So I got the i pad and took his pic, he wants to send it to his mom. 27 minutes ago, grasshopper said: kids will play.

This was in a neighborhood... Houses ten feet apart. Yeah, i heard the buzzing from a a bee hive in the neighbor’s shrubs. The shrubs were way taller than I was (probably seven years old) and ran the entire length of their yard. So, I took a brick and tossed it at the hive ... i don’t know how many bees came out, but there was a superhighway of bees coming out of that hive. My Mom happened to look outside and see what was going on and ran to get me, she actually had to duck down as there were so many bees flying out of the hive. Lucky, they were just flying around and not dive bombing us, there were so many it most likely would have been pretty serious if they started stinging us. One other time, a super long line of bikers came down the street. Our street was pretty long, not sure if it was them, but there was a Hell’s Angels headquarters in Oakland. But, i’m standing on the curb waving and they’re waving back. This lady comes running out of her house, grabs me, and takes me inside until the bikers had all rode by. I guess she was afraid one of them was going to grab me and ride off. I laugh now, but that lady probably thought she was saving my life and it was kinda brave of her, so i give her credit for an intended good deed. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily a thousand people there. It was outside and had a live band or two (the property was big). At one point, heading over to one of the many kegs stationed about the yard and happened upon the spot where all the bikers were hanging out. No idea how many bikes were there, hundred maybe. Told my buddy, we’d better go to a different keg because if i stumbled and fell onto one of those choppers, it would be lights out for me.

grasshopper Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Mornin' All Grandpa has final say... believe it or don't. She takes my words serious. If I tell her she gets ice cream if she eats her green beans, it means she gets ice cream when she finishes her green beans.Green beans isn't a good one to use. She likes my green beans. I've seen her and other folks beans ... "These aren't Grandpa's beans!" Don't know what makes mine special. I put some garlic, onion, salt and pepper in/on them... I don't cook fancy. our mean temp is 75`... 55` low --- 95` high.. It is kinda cool this AM. No complaints. Plenty of time for that later. Cool AMs in Oct means wood cutting season is soon. Go out in the AM and get a little chill -- summer is over. the other teacher is going around with her car. One of those hybrid Toyotas... Battery and wiring. Rats been gnawing on stuff. Even if you don't like them or are allergic... having a few cats [barn or house] are a necessary evil. I'm feeling like CaptJackSparrow and "Why is there always no rum?"...My coffee cup is always empty. ha... got 2 of the "C's" in. Mark your calendar.

BigStewMan Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Never was one that went for those joints. Went to one when i was 18 and had a beer, then walked into one in Vegas about 20 years ago, then turned and walked out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 After a few weeks of lock down Martinis I felt the need for a different drink. I decided on an Old Fashion with a twist. Instead of a sugar cube (I'm doing Atkins) I froze some liquid Splenda into miniature cubes. Three shakes of bitters and an orange peel to garnish and 2 oz of Gentleman Jack. Bien! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bien! i have to pick up groceries tomorrow ... placed my order for them to shop for me and bring the stuff out to the truck. On the way home, i will stop by the neighborhood liquor store, i called them and they have Colonel Taylor in stock. Will pick up a couple of bottles of that and one other of something that i’ve never had. My last experiment was a grand failure, Four Roses, yuk! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
