    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 10/50 with an expected high of 21/69 and 50% chance of precipitation.

    Last day of the orchid show and I am not required or volunteered for anything today, though J is so I might go in with him, but his presentation's scheduled time conflicts with the time during which I'd like to nap.
    Hi Ed
    We hit 100% precipitation Sunday, It was done by 11AM Although things were slow drying off from it.

    In my humble opinion a nap is a good thing, I might be influenced in that opinion by the fact that my Grandparents took a nap every afternoon and lived a long life which could have been influenced by the daily nap.
    Kids Try Dim Sum
    I have had authentic Dim Sum in the San Francisco Chinatown area when on Vacation where my Aunt who lived in California for years picked the eatery. I did not eat some of the things from the selection they brought around to the table on the various trolleys, No Seafood for me, Chicken Feet, Nope, no way.

    Looks tasty and unlike my brother I do eat Feta or Blue Cheese.

    ULTIMATE CHEF VS CHEF JAPANESE FUSION BATTLE

    Put ¼ Pineapple On A Plate. After A Few Seconds, You Won't Believe Your Eyes!

    Many orchids grow naturally on trees or even rocks. Growers often try to duplicate the natural growing environment as closely as possible. Here is a short video showing how one man does that.
    I wondered about that, I had thought I remembered seeing them in trees on the TV.

    Thank You for the Videos

    Happy Daylight Savings Day??? (not exactly)
    More on that later...no, I think we are all 3 in agreement that its a sham, waste of time, outdated, etc etc..
    The reason for this quick post...

    mialjcpncndd.jpg

    They're coming Roger! Won't be long...I swiped this from one of my email health mailing lists, because I instantly thought of you, coming home from your walk and picking a handful of berries on your way to the door!!!

    Which makes me remember I have blueberries, and I have not had breakfast....

    Later...
    Hello Valerie
    I was left tired yesterday which I blame on the switch to Daylight Savings time robbing some of my sleep from me. I am still tired today and have two more clocks to set the new time on, one I need a stool or ladder to reach in the Kitchen where it is over the door to the Dining Room :smile:

    I saw a news report that California wants to switch to it year around, however they need Federal approval to do it ?

    I am waiting and I am hoping to beat the Squirrels to at least some of the two types of berries.

    Have a Nice Day
    Roger

    BTW I do not know if this sort of thing is interesting to either of You ?

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 11/51 with an expected high of 18/64 and 50% chance of mainly afternoon precipitation.

    Might get out. Might not. Might even do some laundry.

    Today is Orion's cat mitzvah! OK. Today is his birthday and he is officially a one year old CAT and no longer a kitten. He doesn't look terribly excited about it.

    He does still have a few more days worth of kitten food to finish up.

    I could be wrong however I think that a Mitzvah is a good deed ?

    Less than excited is a understatement IMO. Is it time to change the food ?

    I noticed that You have a Portable USB Turntable, I have a Ion USB turntable and a Ion USB Tape deck that I use to capture to MP3 form both. They are not portable and require that they be plugged into the mains. They have USB connectivity to the computer and Right and Left RCA jacks for audio to a sound system.

    Need to get that last load of laundry folded and put away and have to get out to yak with a doctor about the lab work.

    Hi!
    Its been a pretty good morning. I have a new neighbor. Met him today. They moved in Sunday he said. He was out walking their 3 small to medium sized dogs!
    And I've been to the gym, and am just finishing my lunch...
    I've been on the phone mostly..with State Farm about the billing from various doc's and the ambulance co, etc. I will be glad when this is all over!

    read your article Roger about the knives being hidden in plain sight. That was from Manchester England. Lucky we don't have to worry very much about knives in this country. People here don't get stabbed..we get shot!!! :(

    I enjoyed the Vegan Korean...and watched another of her video's after. She made a couple of things between the two that I may have to give a try.

    I don't know what else...oh, watched all the vid's ... loved the idea of the poor man's boiled cake. I'd heard of them before, but never got up the energy to find a recipe...lol.

    Ok, I'm going for a quick nap..Jack will be calling in about an hour...
    clothes also now in the dryer....

    Thats been my day........

    Later...

    Gym, Lunch and then the pain in the neck dealing with State Farm. How is State Farm doing for You, Helpful or picking nits.

    England has a huge problem with knifings due to the very strict gun laws. Take the guns away from the crooks and they will find a alternative.

    The last place I worked held the Christmas Party at Japanese Korean eateries so You could have either. The owner preferred Korean. Some of the Korean was tasty such as the thin marinated beef strips cooked on a Charcoal grill that they topped up with fresh charcoal as needed. I will say that the Korean food tended to run right through me and I suspect it was a ingredient as that happened at all of the various places the party was held.

    The Boiled Cake was a new one to me.

    Have a Nice Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!

    Nothing critical on the agenda for today. Just rest a bit perhaps. My bad knee (OK, neither one is really all that GOOD, but the right one has the old injury that flares up now and then) has been unhappy for a few days, and I am still getting over some small cold or something. And my left bicep is sore because I got shot yesterday, at the doctor's office, with a TDAP booster.

    Ok, quick Good Morning!
    Heading out for ATL in less than 10 minutes! Chiro, Whole Foods, then back out to Duluth and the Honda guys...I want a new 'trunk' thingy, and I want my Philly Flyers vanity plate mounted, and I'll let them do that too. See how nice I am???
    Got everything straightened out with State Farm...and the EMT's. It wasn't as hard to do as I thought it might be. I was concerned for my Credit Rating, and also that some of the bills were not paid by State Farm. Was told it was all good.
    Tom's out for the day. Sadly its overcast, but not going to rain. He had a great time yesterday, but it was sunny..can you say Cat Nap in the sun???
    I don't think my new neighbors dogs will bother the cat. I'm guessing they are indoor furries, other wise he wouldn't be walking them!?!?!?
    Hope Ed, that your Dr. chat about your blood work went well! You are one year ahead of me on the TDAP. My hands are in the dirt enough that I'm not about to miss the injection.
    Guys, Dr. Pat awaits......(I think unless I'm about to fall apart, this will be my official last 'auto accident' visit. :)

    Hello Ed
    I would not say I have bad knees neither would I brag about having good knees. Good Knees do not make cracking sounds when You get up from the chair :wink: Part of that could be from the cartilage surgery when back in the 90s I suppose OTOH only one knee was done and they both give off audible cracking noises.

    That is one of the reasons I hate shots in the arm, it seems to be sore for several days afterwards :(

    Interesting effect, Not that I would follow the recipe just to see the effect. Being a Lazy type I would be more likley to loose fry the Hamburger, drain the oil and then flavor to taste with Ketchup and Sweet Relish and use as is or in (on?) a sandwich. I have done that in the past and likely will again in the future.
    Amazing Food Processing Machines That Are At Another Level
    I suspect that these are all more than I want to spend. For example a Egg Breaking Machine ? I have hands :smiley:

    Hello Valerie
    Lots of running around I see. Is the Trunk Thingy the same sort of thing a Bed Liner in a Pickup Truck, A semi hard plastic fitted liner ?

    Just curious a Philly Flyers Vanity plate, Does that cause any comments where You are now residing.

    OTOH even indoors dogs can get free. The neighbors small dog manages to get out of the house a lot.

    Overcast beats rain :smiley:

    Are You worried about all three, tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis ?

    I hope the Doctor visit went well

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 42 degrees. That made me happy as I could shed one layer while walking, that layer was a moderately heavy Sweatshirt. OTOH I was out with my brother doing some running around and I spied 3 corroded Pennies So I did find three cents yesterday late in the moring.

    Before I forget Yesterday as I was sitting in the Living room eating my pre walk NS snack so as not to be putting coffee into a empty stomach I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and sure enough there was a Walking Appetite AKA Deer crossing the lawn. Then today on my way to pick up todays part Decaf and part regular coffee I had four of them crossing lawns ahead of me.
