The PUB light's ON! :D

[David G]

Too many veggies in that meal David.... I'll pile some steak tartare on the bloody Mary, to bulk it up some.... How'd those copper thermoseses work out?
Luna Sueno tequila, and an icy cold Lonestar for Bobby.... (DRILL! BOBBY, DRILL! )

No one was interested in coffee. It was beer and rum all the way from breakfast to waytoolate.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I wonder how old this coffee is. It kinda looks like mud, oh well I will just nuke a cup.

[Mrleft8]

That's not mud.... It's condensed....
Glad to see you still kickin' Bobby.I'm gonna need you to mind the tap handles this afternoon through tomorrow.
Today we have that Chicken noodle soup, which has a bunch of fresh garden tailings.... Green beans, tomatoes, carrots. Served with crusty bread and butter.
Spaghetti and Italian sausage with fresh basil and garlic tomato sauce. Served with steaming hot garlic bread.
Grilled 2" thick chuck steak sliced paper thin, with white corn on the cob, and fresh baby green beans.
Boiled 1 1/4 Lb. lobster with drawn butter and lemon. Served with hand cut fried potatoes, and a crisp garden salad.
Special on tap:Sol lager

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Have a good trip and be careful. Got it covered on this end.

[Mrleft8]

Danke shoen!

[Mrleft8]

Gotta wonder what those people who think that just any chunk of wood will make just as good a guitar as any other think of that guitar that Willie plays.
I asked a friend, who is a world renowned guitar repairer/restorer about the wear hole in the top. His answer was "Lots of guitars have more than one hole in the top."

[Mrleft8]

OK... I'm out the door. See if you can talk Margo into ordering pizza... She's good at that!

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Well I guess the boss man is gone. Lets see what we can find, here is the new barrel of Tequila. Some LoneStar and RedStripe on ice. Big pot of chicken soup, Crackers. looks like we are all set.

[Canoez]

[Bobby of Tulsa]

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Kevin, are you around?

[Spin_Drift]

Kevin isn't here right now, but will I do?

Hi BobbyT. Would you like to try some of my lox when it's done? I'll paint the salmon with a mixture of brown sugar and good brandy and let it soak for the day and then cold smoke it for a bit...

Hope you're feeling better. How about a cuppa coffee with a shot of brandy?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Hi Ms.Spin, Always good to hear from you. Lox? I will try any thing at least once, sounds good to me. Cant drink any real stuff till after tomorrow.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

What is it about this place? You start talking to someone and the next thing you know you are best friends.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Ms.Spin, Is that fish done yet? Supper tonight, Skinless chicken breast or fish, baked. Fruit or veggies canned or fresh. No fat or alcohol. Hell I think they are trying to kill me.

Dang, did I? Bloody cranial liquifaction (aka Earthquake brain). Mmmmmm brandy, that'll take the chill off.

Tomorrow? Best of luck BobbyT

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Thanks guys.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

seanz, I sure aint lookin to fight with one of my best friends.

[Chip-skiff]

Just call 'im mate. If there's a drink coming across the bar, he'll give yer a right big grin.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

What a pretty guy or girl. How are you Mr.Skiff?

[seanz]

seanz, I sure aint lookin to fight with one of my best friends.

I'm just not in a fightin' mood.


Beer? The other half of the going out for lunch equation just walked in the door. Off we go.

Take-it-easy BobbyT.
We're all right behind you.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Just call 'im mate. If there's a drink coming across the bar, he'll give yer a right big grin.

I used to have a dog that would do that, waging his tail the whole time. I really miss him.

[Mrleft8]

OK... That trip was like driving in the shower. Freakin' POURED the whole way up and back, and it's STILL pouring! I'm feeling like I caught a bug of some sort..... What's going on tomorrow Bobby? Did I miss something, or is this just a sort of "Good luck" kinda thing?
GAH! I'll be back in a few....I need a nap....

[skipper68]

That snarling dog smile! Reminds me of this. What's going on with Bobby of Tulsa? Know he didn't feel well.Here to a Tequila to him.. Best wishes coming his way.

[Mrleft8]

Hey there Skippy! How ya doon?!
I'm making Bob some tequila lollipops to go to the hospital with..... They'll never suspect a thing!

[seanz]

Make vodka jellies instead. I heared they give you jelly in hospital.





Don't make liquer chocolates, they'll never make it past the nurse station.....that much I do know for sure.

[Mrleft8]

Liquor nipples might get you special treatment though.....

[Chip-skiff]

They call it the "Aussie Grin." On a sheepdog, that is. When an Aussie bloke grins like that, look out. He's about to uncork a barney.

Set up a round for lads (and the lasses, if they happen in to bless the house with their presence). And a virtual tequila for the Bobster, smuggled in on the aetheric plane.

The solar installers showed up with the correct parts and went at it, hammer and tongs.



I offered to help, but they didn't care for any, so I was off like a shot to sail again. What a grand sort of day, with the trees molten gold and the sky a pure blue that put heaven to shame, and the wind so sweet and perfect that I almost thought I was back in the GodZone.

I regret many deeds in this life, but I cannot recall ever having regretted the decision to go sailing.

Bobster, you staunch bugger— I was thinking of you and wishing you the best.

[Mrleft8]

Is that a union job Chip? that one guy's taking a nap.....

[Mrleft8]

Chippity doo dah.....

[Mrleft8]

Got those crossbow plans printed out Larry! (It's nice to have Carter around to do all that stuff I can't figure out yanno....) Thank you very much!

[Mrleft8]

[Spin_Drift]

Ms.Spin, Is that fish done yet? Supper tonight, Skinless chicken breast or fish, baked. Fruit or veggies canned or fresh. No fat or alcohol. Hell I think they are trying to kill me.

Wait a bit longer. I had to make the finishing touches. Here, almost done



Now that the last glazing is done, I've got to cold smoke it ...
.

[Spin_Drift]

BobbyT and others, here is the final nicely glazed, cold smoked lox. Now to slice it so thin you can read through the slice.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

[Canoez]

Best wishes, Bobby.

[Mrleft8]

Looks almost good enough to eat! (Salmon.....YETCH!)
I think it may have something to do with all the years of growing up with cats.... And cat food... "Kalo Salmon Buffet".... ICK!
It's not raining. Yet. Supposed to be cool, rainy and windy this evening through the weekend. The mildew problem has reached a critical mass. I NEED to eradicate it somehow. But it never stops raining, so every time I do something, like wipe everything down with a diluted bleach solution, it just comes back, because it never dries out. The cork floor in the big room is pretty much destroyed by moisture. Curled up, buckling, mildew stained. Anything with upholstery is damp, and stinky. The ceilings are speckled with dark gray mildew blooms.
But enough about that. It's Friday, and it's fairly mild (If soggy) out. Let's fire up the grills on the back porch and damn the fungi!
Slow smoked full sized pork spare ribs with a zesty molasses and vinegar based glaze.
Rotisserie leg of lamb, with rosemary mint baste.
Boneless rib eye steaks, thick cut chuck steaks, and marinated flank steaks.
Butterflied whole roaster chickens marinated in Thai seasonings, turkey drumsticks and wings (The wings have a sweet and zippy glaze, or a honey/bourbon barbeque sauce.), and whole rotisserie pheasants.
Tuna steaks, cut a full inch thick, straight up, or marinated in white wine, tarragon, and lemon juice. Piles of never frozen St. Augustine shrimp, and buckets of out famous cocktail sauce.
clams, mussels, and bay scallops.
Fresh hot baked beans, pasta salad, corn on the cob, crisp garden salad, coleslaw, and greek salad.
Chocolate pudding pie, Apple crisp, Apple pie a la mode, angel food cake with orange cream icing.
Special on tap: Sebago Brewing Co. Frye's Leap IPA

[Mrleft8]

Hey there Bobby, and Noey!
Noey, have you tried the McNeil's brewmaster's choice IPA? Or the Stone IPA?
