Ya I caught that too, you're not hallucinating not sure who it was.

thanks Amigo , my memory has been slipping lately

it’s concerning me to the extent that I may seek medical intervention

here is an example of what’s been going on

Port Angeles is a new place for me so I am learning my way around

so the 5-7 mile drive to town and back is giving me a familiar pattern

but I’ll be damned if I forget where I am at and don’t know if I should turn left or right cause nothing looks familiar

even if I’ve been on that particular route a dozen times , one would think it would be fresh in the memory banks

but nooooooooo , I get to hear Swede tell me to turn the right way and then say that can’t I remember anything , we just came this way yesterday…

maybe there are some early signs of Alzheimer’s , I need to do some research

also , we want to buy some kind of stealthy hidden security cameras so we can keep an eye on the place while we are away

anyone have any recommendations?…

Well, it’s been two days since my timer failed and the lights in the flower tent stayed on for 24 hours straight. I’ve been watching things close and gladly there seems to be no ill effects.

I got lucky.

Keep an eye they don't appear overnite but you should be good.
I throw the big room lights on to water and feed every day for an hour havent hadn't repercussions in damn near 50 years.
Beware all them little running lights thou on your equipment they will cause a problem.
Had a humidifier mess with me also a hot water heater operating lights

I get that too with the memory banks but I could take you down to Illinois where all my growing, hunting, fishing grounds are without a problem.

Just like all this reduction in workforce, it happens.
My folks and my wife both x government employees.
My Dad contract specialist at the time put out the biggest contract in the government, was sent to the Pentagon numerous times to brief the Generals.
Mom responsible for Baretra 9's along with special holsters.
My wife sent Bradley and howitzer parts all over the world

I have lived with RIFS and Bracts all the shit in between. 14 years old at the time
They shutdown the Savanna ordinance depot back in the early 70's everybody either ended up at Huntsville or Texarkana or found a spot on their own.
We went to Fort McCoy Sparta Wisconsin.
Forced to sell the family Tavern, pu and move we did that 3 times.
My wife retired at 49 had her 25 years in her job was going to Fuckin Detroit and no way in hell were we going there.
TACOM was now headquartered there spent billions of taxpayers money with a building and new cpu programs that they don't even use.
Left a arsenal with more than enough room with Army 1 residing there now.
Now the Detriot based Tacom is now splitting up waste of money you can thank our politicians fir such a waste.
Clinton policys

Unless you been thru it nobody knows
You pull up your man panties like my dad did and carry the fuck on
Fuck all these politicians and people who don't know and think they know cuz they dont know shit, it's their own personal opinions

 

[oldmaninbc]

you got a recipe for that tater soup?

we like Yukon gold potatoes , a little celery , onions , a carrot , garlic , tons of butter and sour cream , salt and pepper…

easy peasy

The recipe is from my Mrs who learned it from her mom with some tweaks and she taught me.

I layer the bottom of the soup pot with onions, cook them in butter some, then add about 1/3-1/2 pot of thawed mashed potatoes I save from leftovers and was frozen until needed. I make a slurry of the onions and mashed potatoes by adding some water but keeping the slurry thickish. I cube up some potatoes and add them to the slurry with some milk and again keeping the soup on the thicker side. Eat when cubed potatoes cooked, you can add salt, pepper and parsley or whatever you like. It's simple but in this case it's simply good.

It needs to be stirred often.

Hi big

 

[Gray Wolf]

I want no part of that car way too fast for me.

Maybe auction off your turn?

 

[Putembk]

Maybe auction off your turn?

You are in charge…

 

[Gray Wolf]

You are in charge…

Do I get half?

 

[Putembk]

Mrs Pute’s visit to the podiatrist yesterday brought interesting news. She doesn’t have a bunion what she does have is arthritis. The protrusion on her foot is a combination of the arthritis and a reaction from too tight of a shoe.

So we’re off to REI today for a special wider pair of shoes. I forget the name. But I didn’t forget the price. Of course they’re expensive as hell.

 

[Putembk]

Do I get half?

You seem excited over the opportunity. Take it all and just tell me about it.

I was going to give my half to Boo to defer party expenses, so I'll toss in your half too!

I can see the smile on his face now!

I worked with a fellow at the Ginseng Farm whose high school aged son had shoes in the XXX XL size, like a basketball player. I don't remember exactly how much his specially made shoes were but it was extremely expensive.

So Mrs. Pute's diagnoses was swapped, one for the other. Sounds like she has some bone spurs or excess bone growth, that's painful. Painful feet are not nice. Hope she gets that sorted out, soon.

Hello Mr.Pute

Hi big

Big is good at stirring the pot… hey old man

 

[oldmaninbc]

A good potato soup starts with bacon.

When I was cooking the onions to translucent I was wondering about cooking them in bacon grease. I don't mind tweaking a favorite recipe but not too much. This is my Mrs favorite potato recipe I wouldn't want to ruin it for her.

Hello Sub
