    Actually I was just going to have a cup of tea, and possibly a bacon and egg sammich, but that's all good too. :D

    I finally replaced my long lost, beloved grain scoop yesterday. Went with a #12 this time instead of #14 - back strength isn't what it once was.

    Tie rod ends, sway bar link, tires, and alignment this week too. The grey area is now ready for holiday travel. :clap

    Also ready for that drag race with Krevin's stupid Jeep. bandana waving girl applications will be taken in the order they are received. :deal

    So I took my ex to the airport Tuesday as she is off to spend Christmas with her boyfriend in Greece where he is from. (yeah... don't ask...it's complicated...but not really. We still get along quite well)

    Anyhoo...as my fee I'm getting some new swag from the ACE Cafe.

    See kids... something good can come out of divorce. LOL!!

    Ace Hardware - True Temper, 'assembled in the USA from foreign and domestic components'. The Frattalone's Ace in uptown had #10, #12, and #14 in stock. They have a few hardware stores over by you, check it out. :thumb

    family food allergy situation has caused a no-pie holiday celebration. :cry

    instead I'm making a bunch of caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, candied pecans, whipped cream, and other ice cream toppings, to be applied to somewhat suspect lactose free ice cream. perhaps some brownies to use as a base.

    I guess the Mayans were right. It IS the end of the world.

    My sister has some screwed up intestinal situation where pretty much any starch causes problems. So I'd have to experiment with pie crusts made from almond flour or some crap, and make something without much sugar in it.

    Glad to hear it. It was skeery to ride in that thing as it was.

    Funny what you get used to when it slowly deteriorates. None of it was expensive, though the sway bar link was a 'so we have your car on the lift' phone call surprise. Still got out of there for three bills, and within four dollars of their estimate. I can't complain. Parent's Auto Care.

    No kidding. My Dodge Dakota seemed fine to me after driving it for +275K, but I'm sure it was a thrill ride for anyone else.

    Oh, there will be bacon.

    Current favorite is Lorentz Farms out of Northfield, love their uncured, sometimes I mix it up and get their peppered bacon. Available at my local co-op, sliced nice and thick. :dg

    I just spent five minutes browsing a thread in CS&M. You couldn't find that much stupid in a bjillion Jeff Foxworthy shows.

    Kleigh, I don't know how you can find entertainment on that playground.
