Lets see if this works…LeeAnn there was a post of 40? Camping Hacks. Some looked like they might be useful, some pretty not so much!
See it this will get you there…

And here's J's tofu and veggie fried rice that we made tonight. I dry fried the tofu for him, and cut up the carrots and broccoli (though we cut it smaller as the broccoli fried) and I cracked the eggs into a bowl. The bell peppers and onions were already sliced and frozen. He made up the sauce and did most of the stir frying.
I did take one small bite, just to taste it. I'll still say I think he makes a better fried rice than I do...and I taught him how to make it!

Good Friday Morning!
I'm sitting here chuckling over the fried rice and who taught who, and who's tastes best! It looks delicious btw. And I may have to make a wok full. I used to make fried rice all the time when the kids were smaller. They loved it, and it was an easy way to get a bit of chicken or ham, egg, and a bite or two of veggies in their little bodies!
I don't think I'm seeing sun this morning??? Guess I'd best hunt up the weather, and plan my day accordingly.
List goes like this…gym, Walmart for Sobe's, and Whole foods. They have a nice selection of veggies and fruits on sale…and then there's the hot bar!! I may or may not find a nice vegan entree, hopefully they will have their to die for chocolate (and vegan) mousse! Other than that, the day is mine!
I need to scroll back and check when Don's leaving for the mountains. I don't envy him the bike ride, but I do wish I could be a fly and sit on his shoulder to see (with all my fly eyes) the vista's he will see. Its beautiful up there.
LeeAnn, are you camping this weekend, or have we overwhelmed you with camping and camp cooking ideas?
Roger, I have been watching your walking progress! You are doing great! Your 'mileage' has doubled and then some! Great job!!!
I'm reading a book (e-book version) that my chiro recently wrote. Last nights chapter was on gratitude. And boy do I have a long list of things I'm grateful for. Also time to pull out my 'random acts of kindness' list and get a few more check marks on it too. I love doing unexpected nice, and often small, gestures for people. Makes my day, and hopefully theirs as well.

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! Working a long middle today. It's supposed to be a good chance of rain by the time I leave so will need to bring an umbrella with me. At least dinner is already prepared for J and I can just fry some ham and steam some broccoli for mine.

Good morning friends!! Happy Friday...last day of school for DH...all the teachers did a happy dance yesterday as the kids left for the summer. I think the teachers are more relieved than the kids!! hehehe
Having Dannon FF Yogurt and NS French Toast for breakfast...a NS Burger for lunch and a nice 2 mile walk. It is supposed to be 95 here in NC today. Whew...we went from Spring to the heat of Summer really quickly this year!

Hi Millie,
95 already? Summer surely did land in NC!! We're supposed to be 90 over the weekend…so we're not that far behind you. (Atl GA)
Happy for your DH..I think teachers have 'always' been happier than the kids when the final bell rings for the year!
Enjoy your walk…

Hi All
I hope everybody is having a good Friday
I ended up not walking today, it was in the 70s overnight before sunrise. By the time I hit the front door it was terrible out in the sun so I cancelled todays walk. Tomorrow I need to get going earlier.
It looks like another day in the 90s today. Only the second in a row so far and tomorrow should be a little cooler.
No Bananas for tomorrow unless I get to the Produce store. Sadly it opens a 8Am and I would like to be done by then. Oh well, I could always overpay at the Quik Chek.
Cheers

Good Saturday Morning.
Cool 70 here at the moment, cats fed..I'm sipping my way thru that first cup of coffee! Ah, the good life!!
I have to look up the perennial, stock. Or maybe Ed knows… will it grow here, or is it too hot for it in the summer. LOL, I mistyped summer and it originally said "or is it too hot for it in the SIMMER"….a slip of the finger= a basket full of truth. Our summers do SIMMER, sometimes to a full rolling boil!
After that I think I'd better work a little more on my coffee.
Hair appt and visit with DS2, and dinner somewhere in ATL today. And hockey tonite. It will be a full day.

Hi All
It was still 76 degrees at 7:05 when I said to myself I skipped my Walk Yesterday so I'm going today. 1 Hour later and 1.9 miles later with a stop at the Quick Chek for a extra Large Black Coffee I tottered up to the house, Then I started the sprinkler for the flower bed in the front of the house. I decided to get double duty from it and put the hanging plants down where they got watered too. Then while that was going I went in back and watered the garden that rings the Patio.
That was the conclusion of my exciting morning Right now I'm sitting here with a Soup Mug used as a coffee cup with Decaf coffee in it. IE Fresh brewed using Folgers coffee bags, Just in case they work like tea bags.
Have a Great Weekend

Hi Valerie
It was warmer than that at its coolest overnight, 76 degrees at Sunrise.
Enjoy Your day.

Well, my new Pebble 301 smartwatch arrived yesterday, so I spent part of the evening and part of the day configuring it and installing the apps and watch face that I wanted.
Now to figure out how to configure the protection from meandering elephants and polar bears...but maybe that's just built in, since I haven't SEEN any meandering elephants or polar bears. I guess it's working!

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! I've been up for hours and quite surprised no one has posted yet! I got distracted by all sorts of things. Working a 7 hour middle today so will be leaving shortly.

Good Sunday Morning.
Sorry I missed Ed…hope he doesn't melt out there in the fuel center today…it is a full simmer day!, with the promise of rolling full boil the rest of the week…I guess Ga is saying. Welcome To Summer just a week early.
Yesterday was OH MY…got my hair done, arrived at DS2's and after my hug and how are you Mother, he asked if I wanted to run an errand. I said yes, thinking along the lines of Trader Joes, and Richards Variety…both places Iwanted a few things. SO…off we go to the mall. ?to the MALL? This is the kid who doesn't shop…what the heck?
And into the Apple store we go???, blue shirt asked us if she could help (blue shirts are the Apple store sales/helper folk), and Ted says I have an online pick up…a couple beeps from her barcode reader and his iPhone, and I was holding a brand new 13 inch MacBook Air….OMG!
I still can't believe it. Rest of my evening went to getting it set up, (I suck at that) Poor Ted had to help me via a Face Time phone call (s). But its up and running…and I do mean running! Its lightening fast. MacBookPro is 6 years old and a bit slow and quite a bit cranky!
And then I about died from tired, but I did it, I stayed up and watched the entire hockey game…Nate was happy, Detroit won! I was soooo happy to be in my bed!!!
Today I got outside not nearly early enough, (but I did watch pajama church), and I scrubbed out the big trash container…it was STINKY…and then I trimmed everything with the trimmer..and by then it was 90 outside, no breeze, and noon….so came in and fixed some lunch and watched the news..
I think a nice shower and a nap are in my future…very Near Future!
Later…
Ed, hope you love your Pebble Smart Watch….don't know about elephants, but bears could be an issue!
Roger, you had a great morning yesterday, and I was really surprised at how hot it is in NJ already. YIKES! Good job on your walk.
I hope I didn't miss anybody, but I have GOT to hit the shower…..0 -
Monday, Monday...
It's back to work today and the end of my series of 3-day weekends. I went to the White Mountains on the motorcycle last Thursday to a rally and stayed until Sunday. It was a beautiful weekend with some perfect days in the mountains with great riding with friends topped off by a delicious pig roast on Saturday night. It was great, I needed a "fun" weekend. Today I go back and deal with whatever came in while I was out. Hope everyone is doing well, time to make the doughnuts...............0 -
Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Off work today. I've been up for quite a while though, despite being off. I have been distracted by feeding Lilo, feeding me (ham and eggs, toast with my homemade no sugar added blackberry jam, small bowl made from my homegrown blackberries!) and getting the dishes all put in the dishwasher.
I really should get to the farmers market, as I'm about out of ghee, but don't want to do anything today. Maybe I'll just have a lazy day instead...

Good Monday Morning!
I think Im going to have a lazy day or two, and not by choice. I weed whacked yesterday, and by evening could hardly walk....that left hip really hurts, to the point I got my cane back out. What is it with weed whacking and my hip. Already have a chiro appt for Wednesday morning, so I will just 'wait it out'.
Don, sorry your long weekends are over, but so glad you had a good weekend in the mountains. It had to be perfect weather and I remember how beautiful those mountains are. Hopefully that new person you've trained will have kept the lid on everything while you were gone.
Need more coffee...trip to the kitchen. We'll see how that goes...

I decided to go for the farmers market before it got too late, busy, and hot.
Went to the Buford Highway Farmers Market today. I didn't buy much as I was really only going for ghee, which I was almost out of. But while there I did score all of this:
Ghee! My reason for going!
Left to right: Asian pear, Taylor Gold pear, Yali pear.
Left to right: Abate pear, Fragrant pear, zapote mamey (albeit a very small one).

Hey Ed...nice haul from the farmers market!0
-
If you've never tried a mamey, you should try it once. Have to wait until it's fairly soft to eat it though. All of the pears also will need to ripen for a few days and soften up, but I'm used to that anyway.
Looking forward to trying the four varieties I've never tried before.

Have a Good Week

Hi Ed
I would eat the fruit while it is crispy as that is How I Like it. When it gets too ripe and juicy and thus messy I palm it off on my brother.
Cheers

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Working a long middle (8 hours) today. Bleah. It's supposed to be terribly hot, so I hope the air conditioning thing in the kiosk is in good working order!
I will start eating the pears before they are TOO soft, but I do want them to achieve full sweetness before eating.

Good Tuesday Morning 6-16-15 Already!!! EIYYYY
Sunny and promised swelter for today. I think its an 'indoor' day!!
Gwinnett county is fighting over keeping chickens. (AGAIN) They do this every so often, I think when they get bored??
I can (and at one time did) understand keeping a couple hens...nice fresh eggs. But, some fool peeps also keep roosters, and other fool peeps complain about the crowing. They all need to wise up/grow up!!!!
Laundry sounds like it needs help into the dryer...

Hi All
I went out walking again this morning, Rerun of yesterdays walk, same distance and time. It was somewhat cooler @ 67 degrees when I left and 68 degrees when I returned home. I picked up my Large Black Coffee at McDonalds. Still way humid and even at 68 degrees I was perspiring.
I also picked and ate a few Nice ripe & sweet wild Blackberries along the way. Not as big as the ones in the produce store but so much better taste, sweet & juicy.
Have a Great Day
Roger
Addendum: My Brother & I have been using a Yard Service for the last tow or three years, however with the price increase and the increase in our energy from the weight loss we have decided to do it ourselves. So This morning we went out to the shed, Found there was still Gas in the can, Starting Fluid in that can and tried the mower. Voila! it lit off with a few pulls and only with the starting fluid as the old gas ran OK but had lost its starting additives. So we Mowed the Yard between us. The Temps were OK, Humidity not good but it is what it is.
Tomorrow I will be out and about and will get new gas for the next mow on the way back from Motor Vehicle when I go to renew my License Plates and make an appointment for the every other year state inspection.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Tuesday Morning 6-16-15 Already!!! EIYYYY

Hi Kat
Not to hot out but oh so humid!
I was going to vacuum today but after mowing 1/2 of the yard and walking I am now experiencing an energy shortage.
It only takes a couple of people to spoil it for everybody, Do they really need the Roosters too?
Egg prices are going up and that is another reason to keep Egg Layers, Not Roosters.
Have a Good Tuesday

I agree Roger! My chicken days came to an end, with a poaching HAWK. No chickens, no eggs, lots more bugs in the back yard. No, I don't think they need a rooster, unless they want fertile eggs, and they have a broody hen, Then...there will be chicks...yellow, soft, downy cute little chicks 0

Hi All
I decided to take a day off from walking today. I have been doing it pretty steady lately.
Have a Great Wednesday

Hi Valerie
I hear You on the Hawk, You did not have chickens to serve as wildlife food
I have been having some garden problems, I figure it is Rabbits or Squirrels. My bean plants would sprout get a couple of leafs and become bare stumps suddenly. Then I set out some started Sunflower plants, They seem to have become a critter buffet too. The Tomatoes, Squash, Peppers & Basil they seem to leave alone. I noticed that the Marigolds seem to be getting nibbled on too. My intent was to raise people food, not four legged critter food.
Oh Well, Lesson learned, do not plant unprotected bean plants or Sunflower plants.
Cheers

Good Wednesday morning!
Roger...what a problem. I know how you feel. When In TN I had a great garden...except for the peas...one day I found out what was eating my rows of peas...RATS from the huge fields behind my yard! I was furious...and I am deathly afraid of rats....all my life...so No More Peas!
Whatever is eating your future produce is one hungry critter, as marigolds are not usually considered 'gourmet critter food'.... curious to know whats eating at Rogers Buffet!
Chiro day, and shopping day, and DS1 day. I guess I'd best get going.
Will stop in later!0 -
Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Working a short middle today. I should be there from 10:30 to 2:30 so that's not too bad.
I do need to do "big water" indoors sometime today too.

Good Thursday Morning!
I've been up about an hour, fed cats, door open to enjoy a few cooler moments, watch the sun patterns in the woods, and enjoy my coffee.
Hip still fairly sore, but there is improvement. Still not ready for long walks, but I think I can get a few things done around here.
Have a great day!
