You got more guts than I ever will!

I don’t mind too much just being on a ladder and cleaning out gutters. But once I get off the ladder and onto the roof…. Like Miss k, I’m feeling all queasy inside.

And it’s like a zillion times worse for me, coming off a roof and trying to get on a ladder.


OSHA dictates (dick-tastes) that you have three rungs over the edge of the eave to use the ladder. It does help. Still, there is all of that being careful shit, too.


Sensible footwear helps too.
 
I fell asleep early on the couch last night. Thus I was up from two thirtyish to almost 5. But then fell asleep again from 5 to 8.

I was all ready to go to Lowe’s and get a couple of bolts and work on my trailer, but then I realized it was Sunday and I should take it easy a little bit…

Yesterday we cleaned up a little bit more around the house and then we wanted to get a pick up truck full of junk out of our mill building.

I also finished making the sliding vents for my kiln. A bit crude, but they will do the job.

Then we went to a party last night. Ate too much and fell asleep pretty quickly on the couch watching the original Star Wars.

Where L2 been? I might’ve missed it, but maybe she is away?
She said, due to, the holiday weekend and other obligations.She would be off and on throughout the next several days.
 
That’s a lot like me. Typically wanna go in a store, I have a purpose, and my goal is to get that thing and get out of there as quickly as possible.

Unless you get me into a good antique store or a record store or a good gun store… then I might do some gathering for about 45 minutes. Then my patience runs runs out.


Gun shows. I can usually make the whole circuit inside of two hours. Nothing appeals? Then I'm gone.
 
A guy stuck his head into a barbershop and asked, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looked around the shop full of customers and said, "About 2 hours." The guy left. A few days later, the same guy stuck his head in the door and asked, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looked around at the shop and said, "About 3 hours." The guy left. A week later, the same guy stuck his head in the shop and asked, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looked around the shop and said, "About an hour and a half." The guy left. The barber turned to his friend and said, "Hey, Bob, do me a favor, follow him and see where he goes. He keeps asking how long he has to wait for a haircut, but he never comes back." A little while later, Bob returned to the shop, laughing hysterically. The barber asked, "So, where does he go when he leaves?" Bob looked up, wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Your house!"
 
Looks like a rainy day NB and then nasty 60 mph winds tonight and tomorrow. The weather is weird.
Weird weather here. 36 and rain when we left. Now is 33 and rain. Somewhere between here and there it's supposed to start freezing up. So we're in rush mode to get as far a possible before then...
 
Roast recipe:


  • 7-8 pound roast
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper


  • Two hours before roasting, remove the meat from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (see Cook's Note).

  • Place the oven rack on the second lowest position.

  • Place the roast in a pan large enough to hold it comfortably, bone-side down, and spread the top thickly with the salt and pepper. Roast the meat for 45 minutes.

  • Without removing the meat from the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and roast for another 30 minutes.

  • Finally, increase the temperature to 450 degrees F and roast for another 15 to 30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the meat is 125 degrees F. (Be sure the thermometer is exactly in the center of the roast.) The total cooking time will be between 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hours. Meanwhile, make the sauce.

  • Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil and allow the meat to rest for 20 minutes. Carve and serve with the sauce.
Wow! That sounds really good!!
