The PUB light's ON! :D

We eat our green beans steamed with a lashing of butter or a dash of soy sauce or balsamic. Or sauteed in butter with almonds. Never cooked 'em with bacon. The dry beans are good in so many dishes that I won't even start. But I make a lot of Mediterranean-style things with beans and what-have-you: leftover rice, green tomatoes, carrots, assorted greens, coarse corn meal, et many ceteras. The Wolf Goddess makes chili with beans, while I prefer it without, and beans on the side.

I love beans.

I like all veggies, but like any good Okie boy I season the heck outa all of them.

Lawn bowls.... I like that game. My father was exceptionally good at it, and almost never lost until we started changing the rules to make it harder for him.

Quite a few of the RSA chapters (Returned Services Association) have lawns for bowling, and a good many rural pubs. It's also a great game for cruising. We played on several island beaches around the Hauraki Gulf.

By "Changing the rules" I meant that he had to bowl blindfolded, or while balancing a beer on his forehead, or other such things..... We started out by saying he had to bowl left handed, but he did just as well with the left as he did with the right. He's naturally gifted in pretty much any sport he tries/tried..... At on of my cousins' weddings he got talked into playing pool with me (Partners) against some locals at a local bar..... He was hitting double bank shots like Minesota Slim..... The locals called him a ringer and started getting rude.... My father explained that this was the second time in his life that he'd played pool, and that it must be because he was an architect that he could "see" the angles..... They finally bought his story after he bought a round for the house.....

[ChrisBen]

Snack time? Not vegan? Oh well, sorry.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

You are a bad man!

[Mrleft8]

You do know that they make medicine to help get RID of those things, don't you CB?.....

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Hows about Jar of Herradura and a Lone Star for my fence building friend, he must be resting by now. I aint even worryin bout that Chris guy.

[seanz]

A song, Chip?

I found this one, the images were put together by Canadian.....same same.



Now if that doesn't get you crying in your beer, nothing will.

The pub crew will be pleased to hear, I'm sure, that the ANZAC day tradition in Oz is a tot of rum and a game of two-up.

Drinking and gambling.....freedoms worth fighting for.

[ChrisBen]

You do know that they make medicine to help get RID of those things, don't you CB?.....

I used my teeth, got rid of em right quick.

[ChrisBen]

I propose we all raise a glass for the Aussies and ANZAC day.

Cheers

Did I miss sumthin? I didint see any RIP thread about his truck.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

No, he is just probably missin it.

[ChrisBen]

Oh, I thought he was gettin it back today. More'n likely he's mourning the fact that he don't got that new chainsaw.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Well I would be cryin over that meself, Loss of a new tool is really hard to deal with.

[ChrisBen]

Kinda like wakin up Christmas mornin and not findin that Red Ryder BB gun under the tree.

[SaltyD from BC]

Man what would I do without you guys all worried about me like. Or more like waiting for more tales of doom and gloom

The Chevy is in the building! Wiff a new hub/bearing assembley or whatever it is you call what was a hub on a real truck with solid axles as opposed to these in dye pendant suspension stupid idea that they have now adays to improve our lives. Last time I did a bearing on an old (real) truck the bearing was 50 bucks. Now its hidden in the thingy with studs what yer wheel bolts on to and its 400 bucks. Don't cha love progress?

And. I. Bought. The. Saw. so there. No doom here it is pretty gloomy out though and rain'n hard. Man that saw is dead shexy! Can't wait to try it out.

Beer me please.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Fire that baby up,Tells us all about it. I will hold your beer.

[ChrisBen]

Here you go, sorry it's a Stihl.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Now thats a pro beer drinker.

[SaltyD from BC]

LOL love it Chris... wonder how many bottles he broke before he figured that trick out .. Bobby I still need to get my saw pants and maybe my fallers hat.. or is it here, dunno. This thing is a bit of a monster - 33" bar with a full 5 horse power. I'll be use'n all the safety gear with this monkey. As Lefty says though, I shall return - with maybe some pics of it and some good old fashion Salty BS about it down the road a bit. Mean time, we drink!

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Becareful with that baby, ya need all your parts. Let's do the beer thang.

[ChrisBen]

Mean time, we drink!

Sounds like a plan.

[SaltyD from BC]

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Gots to go guys, my company thinks it is rude to play on the computer and ignore them.

[ChrisBen]

Night Bobby, see ya for coffee.

[Mrleft8]

I've opened beers with a chainsaw before..... Cans even.....
The real trick is to open a twist off cap.....
But that's a nice looking saw......
A 33" bar?..... I used to have a saw with a 32" bar, but I swapped it out for an 18".... I figured that most of the tree is branches and such, and even if the tree is 3' Dia, (Which most around here aren't) only 2-3 cuts are that wide, and you can get those from both sides.... So I finally kinda sorta measured each cut of a big (2+' Dia.) oak tree I cut up.... Most of the cuts were under 1' Dia...... But the long bars do look so cool!

[SaltyD from BC]

Not much limbing at all in this program Lefty like said I'll take some pics one of these days. Plus got the old little saw for that. But c'mon its a mid life crisis thing I want the loooooooooong bar, and the kewel factor The other pay off is you don't need to buck with yer back hunched over like a dog humping a football. Specially my war wounded back

[SaltyD from BC]

o forgot to say that's the way the local shop had her rigged up for a good price

[Chip-skiff]

Late night music: Hollie Smith live. (Big dynamic range- cut the treble a bit or she'll nail you).
