The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Planning my day…

(Hopefully sex)
2nd coat of paint for the kiln (early before it gets too cold)
Put a coat of paint on the cherry boards so they don’t split
Round more logs and bring them down for splitting.
Split wood if I have time
My sister is arriving at 3pm
Have a fire outside
Eat soup I’m making all day
America’s funnest videos
Sleep
Trying to bounce back from the hitch and trip home still...
I've about shaken off the trail dust, now I need to make my to do list.
It starts with celebrating Naked Sunday and spoiling my Goddess.
We did finally try the Cajun restaurant that we've been wanting to and it was really, really good... I can easily see that being a guilty pleasure that we do after every hitch.
I hope all of you wonderful Spoonies are having an outstanding weekend!
 
Happy Saturday! Got home and realised I left the damn computer in work town. Imagine the litany of vulgarity, triple it, and you will be close to what was said. So it goes.

Went to see Dr Tyler on the way home. After yesterday‘s hand job phone call with the healthcare providers, I did not see any improvement. If anything, there may be some deterioration. Basically, she’s just waiting around to die I think. It happens, I suppose.

So it goes….
Sorry about your mom. Hopefully she finds some peace. This is never easy.

RIP to Todd Snider. 1966-2025

A great singer songwriter and one funny dude…

One of my daughter’s favorite songs. I’d sing it to her at bedtime. ⬇️


I’m an all right guy!
Oh man. He was young? Our age maybe? Our eclectic radio station plays a lot of his music. These musicians burned the candle at both ends.

Worked around the yard yesterday, put the lazy kid to work raking, made a Home Depot run to basically just get a pair of gardening gloves. Walked out with two small trees that had bows on them…in the Christmas spirit kind of thing…

********OK, RANT********
I don’t do anything Christmas until after Turkey Day. It’s just how the laws of the Holidays are written. Ya Do Halloween—Ya Do Thanksgiving——THEN the very next day if’n you please, Go Full ON Christmas.

At least if I ran this man’s Army…
*********Rant OVer*******

So, I buy the trees, NOT because of the bow and one is basically a real Christmas tree (Alberta Spruce) but because I have two pots on the patio that needed fill’n and evergreen’s (the other was an arborvitae) look good in those pots…

So, I’m in Turkey mode…just so ya know.😂.

OH, and a new bird feeder and food…just because…I like tweety.

Dropped in for a health&wellness for momma, and made semi plans for the big feast next week. We’re scaling back because the kids are heading to TX, and SWMBO may be in tow, so it will only be she and I and my youngest. We’re even talking about nixing the bird and going full hog…Honey Baked Ham and fixings. If SWMBO stays, she will make a bird…she’s very good at it.

****I really don’t care when you get in the Christmas spirit…just please…can we NOT have Christmas music till after Thanksgiving? Please?*******

Grandmas roll out cookies..... soooo yummy
The frosting is from my 70 yr old betty crocker cookbook. Firms up so they can be stacked in the tin picnic basket i got from her
Oh Lawd those good! I haven’t seen that kind of frosting in ages! My mother has one of my grandmothers Betty Crocker cookbooks. Probably around that same age. She also has either an old church cookbook or something that has Turtle Soup in it.

No, not the little Florida cooters and box type…the Big Endangered or protected Loggerhead type! 😮. Filed under Seafood…I kid ye not. I’ll look for it and paste it here…
 
Ghirardelli, Lindt, Tazo... 😋
Anything over 80% cacao ... and no citrus
sad, but the orange and dark will have to sit on the shelves for the rest of you
For years momma would put one of those dark chocolate and orange things in my stocking…I don’t like that mix either! After about ten years I told her to save her money…just get me pistachio’s!

Sounds like an ideal day!!

We just ticked our first item off the list! 😜

Happy naked Sunday!
 
I probably live with 75-80% of pork as a main dish, but that is because of the meat market I use, having some of the very best I've ever laid hands on!


That would certainly have a great deal to do with the decision-making process.


I wind up out West full-time and we’re gonna start buying half a cow and see how it works out.

Decades ago, I went on a beef kick, eating 3 to 4, 20 to 26 Oz sirloins a day.

Having built and operated commercial hog farms, I can "smell/detect" commercially raised pork upon ENTERING a Kroger, or any other store... Miller's meat market has ZERO of that... even the fat is delectable!

I am 100% agreement.

Nothing against tose who do, but I personally don’t like that when I got it stores and the Christmas shit is out on September 1st.

Mrs. Wonderer knows that when I run for political office, it will be under these three rules.

Halloween cannot be celebrated until October 1 at the earliest.

The month of Thanksgiving is for Thanksgiving!

When I am president, it will be illegal to put up anything related to Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving.

That’s just gonna be the way it is!!

OK… my rant is over!!

Merry thanksgiving!!
