The Ark

Quoting theshepherd:
" hanging in the tiki hut is soooo hard."

Especially if they have a burger grill.
:)))

They do, plus turkey fryers (ours), couple smokers not including mine, fry daddy (ours), LOL I think we own all the cookers except a 4 burner with side burner BBQ, Life is a big cook out and I still have time to fish, who knew?

Quoting RTLSNK:


Thanks Ski, of course it won't go to my head, knew
about it already, I tend to keep up on little odd
things like that! :)

Being born on Ground Hogs Day sort of just lends
itself to the strange and unique don't you know.
And an Aquarius to boot!

.

Quoting RobDaHood:
Well strange and unique is one way to put it.
Anybody notice that 'Snake keeps dropping subtle hints lately?
Reckon we oughta throw him a party.

Sounds like Ski is gonna have a fun time.
Sounds like Shep is gonna have a fun time.

I just need a week in a dark quiet box by myself.

Party.... I got the chilled Tea..kill.ya shots. NO I do not do salt or lime you bloody yanks LOL, lub U

I am trying on my cowboy boots right now, yep feet still same size as when I was 18 yrs old, It's the little things that count. (wish my butt was included in that)

Quoting RobDaHood:
Well, I have to admit to being a bit of a salt fiend.
Go easy...that stuff is a lot more fun tonight than it will be in the morning.

But then you already know that.

Silly :)

We know yer a salty dog,

On a side note thats a good drink as well.

Vodka, (crap vodka is good your mixing it.) grapefruit, salted rim, make that a tripple, don't have to worry about the grapefruit. It only scandalizes the drink anyway.

Quoting RobDaHood:


Well, that great thing about blogs. If you hadn't told us, we'd have never knowed!

I got to stop reading Maxine.

Quoting RobDaHood:
Yeah, but if you leave out the grapefruit juice, you need to use the good vodka!
LOL
No, you are a long ways from being Maxine.

Thats why you get the big money,

Your right on all accounts

Quoting RobDaHood:
Tried the trashcan smoker thing.
Now what exactly am I supposed to do about all the melted plastic on my chicken?

:o)

Plastic, rubber, paper cans do not work! I say do not work if you light them inside a dwelling.

Make crop circle in your backyard. Place TIN can in centre. Fill with flamiables, pour starter fluid on it, run, come back when just a bit of smoke is coming out.(can starter fluid it again, but thats for the flare up and the wow factor., cooking time lessens.

When the fun is over, throw food in cooker shut lid, go watch a game, pub crawl, drink more, you got a few hrs. GO FISH

Quoting RTLSNK:


Of course I read it my good man, I wrote it remember?
And since you didn't remember, and you just used my
copywrighted document, please forward my usual fee to
my acct in the Caymans. heh heh heh

Er, um, well, I lost the acc. # dont you know?
Please send the #, along with the current balance, and a copy of your signature, and I'll see to it right away.

:):))

Quoting RobDaHood:
Hey Pottery!

How does he do that ?

Never mind, I dont want to know!

Quoting RobDaHood:
If there is such a thing as too much coffee, I've never reached that point. If I totally did away with caffeine and nicotine, I'd probably slip into a coma.

Did you fall of the smoke wagon?

Me I am up to 6 weeks again, its easier not to eat and exercise, cripes

Looks like Sheph has a Project...........

Quoting RobDaHood:
LOL
I pay off the jumbies!

I wondered why they were acting all suspicious-like.

And yeah, the maps are a little confusing, showing a gentle cloud-cover. But today we got another inch....
Not a breath of wind, just constant dribble for most of the day.
Clear now though. Nice evening !

close to this but smaller

Quoting RobDaHood:

They are fun when you do them by choice.
Not so much when you have to.

True, that !
I wonder if he'll take the opportunity to tweak the motor a bit.
Another 40HP would be more fun.....

Raku chicken ??
I better try that next time I'm firing the kiln.

Quoting RobDaHood:
That's good news Pottery. (the nice evening part)
Been crazy wet here for the dry season. Mainly because we've had a few lines just train overhead. Got 10 inches precip in one week last month. Never happens!

That's heavy stuff.
My total for Dec. is a pinch over 12", which is 3" above the average.
What was different was the fact that it rained for 22 days in the month.
Normally, about 12 days. And Jan has been the same.

Hi Arkers!

Just checking in, the small group Bible Study Sugar Bear and I used to go to on Tuesday nights has been changed to Monday nights this year so I'll be back about this time on Mondays from now on.

Wow, cooking in a garbage can, sort of a dual purpose unit I must say. :) Rather handy after dinner too!

Hey Pottery, see the Ark above? It has a camera in it.
When you click on the blog it can see you, you might
want to put some more clothes on the next time you
show up here ok?

heh heh heh

Oh HO !

I do wish you had told me this before.

I spent several hours last night removing all pictures, books, furniture (including the ones that are permanently fixed to concrete walls), took the paint off large sections, dismantled the desk, removed the door and window frames, lifted some suspicious looking flooring, and so on.

I had no idea he was so clever......

Morning Arkers!

Last chilly morning around here, temps are supposed to
go back into the 70's in the next few days. Strange
winter weather, eh?

My honey do list now contains a lot of raking and
gathering of various plant thingies that SugarBear has
dug up out of the gardens and thrown willie nillie
into the yard during her winter purge of the gardens
and landscape areas. It seems that the "New and Improved"
landscape plan calls for a complete change
of something she calls "The Look". This is sort of a
new design known only to SugarBear and her laptop
landscape design software that she spends untold hours
developing in the wee hours of the night.

Due to the tender and as yet unrepaired right shoulder
I have been spared the digging portion of this new
design and the pallets of compost I would normally be
dumping in all of the gardens at this time of year have
been put off until close to spring time when she expects
me to be "post operative", totally repaired, and ready
to do the heavy work to which I am accustomed.

A slave driver she is, a slave driver. :)

Quoting RobDaHood:
RTLSNK gives me too much credit Pottery.
That ark is apparently made of wood. I am not clever enough to fashion a camera out of wood. In reality, it is composed of pixels. I've been working on it, but am lacking the technology to hide a camera in a pixel...yet.

No, a pink toed arachnid keeps watch, reports to a jumbie, who in turn tells a wood nymph, who finally sends me a text. All reports are duly entered into a database and forwarded to Santa Clause at the beginning of December.

So now you know.

RTLSNK.
2 words...Plastic Flowers!


Oh, and Good Morning Everyone!

That's all very well.
But who's going to help me rebuild my house is what I wanna know !

And I think plastic flowers is a Very Fine Idea.
He already has plastic joints. Or was that Titanium. I forget.

Lunch time.

Hmmm, plastic flowers, not a bad idea if you think about it.
No watering problems, no fertilizer, no topsoil needed,
no compost needed, bugs don't eat them, birds don't bother them.
I wonder how long they last in direct sunlight? Hmmm.

Dinner is in the Crock Pot, what a great time saver.
Put everything into the crock pot at 9 AM, turn it on low,
dinner is ready at 6 PM. How easy is that?

Chinese pork with veggies and noodles. Yum.

Quoting RobDaHood:
Whew!
Quittin' time. Not a minute too soon.
Getting a headache.

9am to 6pm. Dem noodles ain't gonna be mushy?

Salmon on the grill.

No, sorry, left that part out, it should have been:

put everything in the crock pot except the noodles!

You do the noodles separate and then put the noodles
on your plate and add what's in the crock pot on top.
The chinese noodles are the little curly q noodles
that only take 3 minutes to boil. Piece of cake. :)

Quoting RobDaHood:
Okay, I understand about the noodles now.
What kind of cake?
Does it go on top too, or on the side?

That was good wise guy, and quick too! :)

Cake is a no no now. No more cake until our Birthday Party.

SugarBear has requested an Orange Pound Cake with
Chocolate Icing this year. YUM

We still have 14 Christmas Nut Cookies left. It is
against family policy to throw away nut cookies so
we are being forced to have a few each day until the
cookie tin is empty. We are just forcing ourselves to
eat them. heh heh heh

Quoting RobDaHood:
Thought I'd throw that in there because banana bread taste like cake, but it's not cake because it can't be cake if it's bread!

Therefore, not a violation of the "no cake" policy!

You are a Prince among Men my good man!!!

Of course Sugar Bear just said I am not allowed
to talk to you any more. :)

Dinner is ready, back later.

It was just a joke buddy, really, just a joke!
SugarBear laughed like crazy with the rest of us.

Then she said sort of quietly under her breath,
of course I do have Angie's phone number.

They can be scary can't they?
