The PUB light's ON! :D

[Mrleft8]

That's one of the reasons I don't lock the cellar..... Remember what happened when Kevin got locked down there "by mistake" one night?..... I mean besides the bit about Amber's cousin Jet, that got locked down there "by mistake" with him..... That was an expensive lock on that door after that night..... The damned thing only cost $14 to begin with..... They prolly coulda picked it with a hair pin, or paperclip.....

[Bobby of Tulsa]

[Mrleft8]

OK, I'm getting the hairy eyeball from Carter and Sammo..... Gotta go be sociable while I cook them dinner.... (Duck breast with a red wine/raspberry reduction, jasmine rice, and asparagus)

[Bobby of Tulsa]

[Bobby of Tulsa]

[Mrleft8]

[SaltyD from BC]

And his arsenal of samarai bows!

How was the duck boss?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

They always seem to go around us, Just something about our location I guess. That big one that came in 99 was coming straight down our street I thought this was gonna be it, about two blocks away it made a sharp right turn, took out a church and school but missed us. It had stayed on a straight course all the way from Oklahoma city, go figger.

[SaltyD from BC]

That's cause your a clean liv'n son of a gun Bobby, you got the karma goin on..

I unrested me back today to see if'n I could do it. I did it. But it hurts again, not as bad as yesterday. Man it feels like just a ways back ago that I was chucking 250 lb pails of railroad spikes around all day without much fuss. I guess it was all of those 30 some years though. Think I'll have a beer now

Ya need to settle down a bit. Those sore backs don't just get up and leave ya know. I was thinkin about how it used to be. I could easily carry four, five gallon cans of paint across our shop. Two in each hand. Now I do good to get a case of beer into the house. My hundred pound daughter does most of my lifting.

[SaltyD from BC]

I hear ya pal I'm usually more carefull but was under the gun to get stuff out of the last place. My wife just told me to smarten up a little 2 thank gosh fer friends eh?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I Think if the wimmens, would not try to find so many things for us guys to do. Well I never heard of a guy hurting himself opening a beer. Jus sayin.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I wonder if one of those deck ornaments caught Chrisben???

[SaltyD from BC]

That sun soak'n bum is up to somethin Bobby I knows that much. Hey, I just popped a beer. No injuries

[SaltyD from BC]

I think that cat figures you're OK mr Boyles boats

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Coffee is ready, rise and shine.

[ChrisBen]

Coffee is ready, rise and shine.

Mornin Bobby, I'm ready for some of the good black stuff.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Mornin Chris, Extra strong this mornin.

[ChrisBen]

Stormy out there in Okieland yesterday huh? Glad they missed you.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

SaltyD and I were just about to send a rescue squad after ya. I mean we know how bad ya got it down there in the land of boats and sunshine and kinis.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Stormy out there in Okieland yesterday huh? Glad they missed you.

Those storms can stay away for my part.

[ChrisBen]

Spent the day sandin and varnishin, no distractions. (Well maybe a few).

[Bobby of Tulsa]

It would be hard for me to work when everyone else was out playin. I get distracted easily. Responsible is not a word that sticks to me.

[ChrisBen]

Yeah, it's like those pics constantly all day Sat & Sun. Not quite as busy on the weekdays but still hard ta concentrate on my duties.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I guess when you remember ya needs ta eat and have a good bed to sleep in, kinda helps motivate you to keep workin. Course my thinkin only goes about a couple of hours into the future.

[ChrisBen]

I got another nice day today, not to hot maybe up to 80º and nice breeze. So I'll be able to do some more sandin and varnishin today, with fewer distractions (damn).

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I think my day is planned for me, the boss is home today. Probably go shopping for plants and a new saw blade. Come home and supervise planting of new plants.

[ChrisBen]

Just leave the diggin to the younguns and save your breath.

[Glen Longino]

Good morning Bobby and ChrisBen!
The coffee is just right!

[ChrisBen]

Mornin Glen, how's things down your way?

[Glen Longino]

Quiet this morning, Chris, since the wind quit blowing and storms passed through yesterday morning.

[ChrisBen]

Quiet this morning, Chris, since the wind quit blowing and storms passed through yesterday morning.

Yeah, saw it on the news, scary. Glad we only have to deal with the occasional hurricane here.

[Mrleft8]

I'm exhausted.... How did I used to stay up all night, and go to work the next day? Hell.... I had 2 extra beers last night, just to be sociable, dontcha know... And I was up every other hour, all night long wearing a rut in the floor back and forth to the bathroom..... Sheeeeeesssshhhh!!!!!!
It's sunny, warm, and not windy today.... Supposed to be warmer today than it was all last summer.... Put together...

Worked in the yard yesterday - was almost too warm. Gonna be working in the basement this evening stitching a kayak skin where it's nice and cool.

Yannow, be glad the doc hasn't prescribed diuretics. (DAMHIKT)

[Mrleft8]

Yeah.... Been there, done that......
Part of me thinks that this would be a good day to finish pulling up rotted decking on the balcony. Part of me really doesn't want to be perched 16' above the ground, on iffy framing with nobody but Aldo around to drag my battered body into the woods, should I plummet to my death.....
The alternative is to finish painting the stairwell walls, while hanging by my toenails from the spiral steel staircase.... The basement floor would be a much swifter death than the dirt, and squirrel poo that I'd land in off the deck...... Decisions, decisions, decisions......

[Canoez]

That's what safety harnesses were invented for... Seems like a nice day to sit in the yard and squirrel watch - with a rifle. Anyway, it might be just a bit too humid to paint.

Say - I gotta question. Seeing as how the Reverend isn't around to ask, is Memphis BBQ an indirect heat operation? I got a nice Memphis style rub that was a gift and have some nice country-style boneless strips sitting in it to cook tonite. That, some sweet onion poppyseed coleslaw, some broccoli and rice followed up by some strawberry shortcake.

[Mrleft8]

Chili cheese dogs, grilled, or steamed. Hamburgers, cheeseburgers,turkeyburgers,and (gasp!) tofuburgers... Grilled over hardwood charcoal, and topped with anything under the sun that you can imagine... (We had a customer last year who liked to put twinkie fillets on his cheeseburgers...)
And we have grilled baby octopus, with a zesty West Indies sweet/hot pepper sauce.
All served with fries,and/or onion rings and a small side salad.
Special on tap: Pearl Lager.

[Mrleft8]

Funny you should ask that, Noey..... I talked to MMike yesterday (He's doing very well, and says to say "Hi" to all us good people), and he was cooking his signature BBQ steak wraps, while watching the kids run their bicycles into his car...
I'd say that indirect would be the way to do it, but you might should oughtta give them a little blast of direct hot to give them that nice crust we all love..... If I was doing a whole batch of ribs (30-40Lbs) I'd just smoke em for 6 hours, but a small batch like you have might just turn to cardboard that way.....

[Canoez]

Yeah, I can't cook 'em as long and low as I'd like. I'm going to add some pecan smoke to 'em, but I was thinking to sear on both sides to get the crust and then turn it down low and cover to let the smoke do it's thing for maybe 45 minutes or so. There is just enough fat in the meat that I'm thinkin' they'll be reasonably tender.

[Mrleft8]

Let us know how it works.....
Sugar in the marinade should help seal in the juices.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I guess I missed Glen. How did the time at the lake go? Lots of booze and Women, or was this a church social?

[Mrleft8]

From what I've seen, Booze and wimmin, and church social are not mutually exclusive.....

[Mrleft8]

[Bobby of Tulsa]

From what I've seen, Booze and wimmin, and church social are not mutually exclusive.....

Those Texas church folks will not even go in a restaurant that serves alkeehol, Thats why they invented Cracker Barrel.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Yanno, If I was down in the land of sunshine and kinis, I could be drinkin beer and watching Chris, sand and varnish, and snap pics that he would other wise miss.

[Mrleft8]

Cracker barrel?.... I thought that was where the Hooters girls were trained....
It's like a TGI Fridays but fatter idnit?

[ChrisBen]

I coulda used ya just now, managed ta catch the tail end of this one.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Cracker barrel?.... I thought that was where the Hooters girls were trained....
It's like a TGI Fridays but fatter idnit?

I don't think you can compare TGI Fridays with Cracker Barrel, at least not down here. Fridays has really good booze. The other place only serves old fashion southern food with coffee, tea or pop

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Dangit Chris, I guess I am going to have to catch a ride down there. I got outa going to the plant farm, but she is on her way home to get me to go to Lowes with her. I think I can talk her into stopping off at the Buffalo Wild Wings place.
