I also boil mine in water first mainly to release much of the extra grease, then brown them on the charcoal grill or on the George Foreman.

 

I guess so; although, I've seen it at restaurants served with a jam. Big Bill (William) Lipinski & his wife (Anne) were wonderful lifelong friends w/ my parents. Bill & Anne made their own handmade Kielbasa. I recall how fascinated I was watching them when I was a tiny dude. They had one of those sausage making machines - I was like mesmerized at 4 - 5 years of age.

 

Personally, I've found anytime I make any recipe w/ pork, I always boil the pork before using it in any recipe because it tenderizes the meat - especially pork ribs.

 

I've never owned a George Foreman. I recall when he began advertising them (1993) in infomercials. I knew a couple people who owned one or two.

 

Here's a classic I haven't made or consumed in a very, very long time which I really enjoy. Thinly sliced cucumbers & thinly sliced onions marinated in sugar + water O.N. in the refrigerator.

 

Mike, Ya need to wear your :Marry me fly fee t-shirt more often

Norm, + to trusses is span and ease of installation. The - [to me] his hiding equipment [cranes] from inspectors

 

I am enjoying watching Jacques Pepin's short cooking videos. He did onion sandwiches and radish sandwiches.

 

John, I iike them also

 

x2 Mom used to make them.

 

Had a great time at Keegan's first game of his baseball season. So, what's the perfect complimentary baseball position for a hockey goalie? Not too hard for you to guess probably. He played great, even catching a pop-up behind him near the screen. He hit well too, going 3 for 3, with a double.

 

Norm /John When ever this whiney kid axed '"When is super going to be ready" My mother would slap together apiece of bread with butter and onion to tide me over. Unlike Jacques, she NEVER cut the crust off

 

Good morning everyone.

Another typical Friday. Skeleton crew and no one is doing anything. It's gonna be a long day.

The hangar over at my shop is run down and crappy. I'd love to take it down and then reassemble it in my side yard at my house. I'm afraid that would cost more than having a new building built.

Jamesbo I've seen those shirts but I don't have one. There's another one that's more accurate. Marry Me Fly Free Standby.

Greg did you see the wagon?

I think my focus this weekend will be to get some tires and rims out of the crawlspace at Mom's. They've been in there so long I don't really remember what's there. I do know there's a pair of tires for a Gamma Goat. I got them because they are the same size as the DUKW. I think I brought them over from the other house so I've had them 20 years at least. And they were old and sucked when I got them.

Guess I'll go find a snack. Nothing is going to be happening here for awhile. Hope everyone has a good day.

 

Mike - I was not familiar with the model named "Gamma Goat" so I looked it up. After seeing a pic I immediately recognized it from Vietnam era war movies. I've never seen one in person though. Good luck getting them and other tires/wheels out of the crawlspace. I'm also curious about the Chevy Wagon Greg was going to go look at? Hope you have a great weekend!

 

Passed on the wagon- should have known better- This is the 2nd old car I have passed on in the last 6 months, 1st one was a '65 442 'vert. The wagon was repainted and very friendly... as in it waved at you as it goes by... A old patina car is one thing but a shiny, newly painted car that looks like **** I don't want, It would have to be redone. I would be embarrassed of it as is.

 

Greg - Smart decision. From your description I know the type you're referring to. I'd walk.

I hit the ball well, today. Cool weather w/ wind wasn't so nice. Supposed to have Member-Member golf tournament Sat. & Sun. Rain tomorrow, tournament reduced to one day (Sunday), now. Shotgun 9am.
Y'all talking about Bratwurst I stopped @ grocery store & picked up a pack of Original Johnsonvllle Brats & a pack of fresh Pepperidge Farm Sesame Hoagie Rolls. I steam my Hoagie Rolls since I like them to melt in my mouth. I already have a fresh jar of Sauerkraut and several brands of yellow mustard.

Mike - Watch out for Mr. No Shoulders in the crawlspace.

 

The house is too far from the lake or the woods for snakes to get in. Turns out I didn't get any wheels out of the crawlspace today anyway. The cable guy was on his way when I got there and I sat around listening to him pontificate about what was wrong and how he fixed it. That's fine, as long as it's fixed. When he left it was time for dinner, and I don't do anything after dinner.

Too bad about the wagon Greg. Something else will come along. I don't think I remember the 65, what was wrong with it? Hard to miss with a convertible.

The trouble with the Gamma Goat tires is that while they are the same size as DUKW tires, they are only 6 ply and the DUKW tires are 10 ply. So technically they are not strong enough. When a good source for tires was not available, people used Goat tires because they fit, and I don't think there were a lot of problems. Then for a long time a guy out of Dallas TX would take orders and about once a year have a batch of DUKW tires made. He has since gone out of business.

Well I'm beat. Three o'clock was a long time ago. Have a good evening everyone.

 

Finally broke ya down didn't we. Enjoy! 👍
Good luck Sunday.

 

Mike, yeah I didn't say anything about the 442, as it was advertised here on CO. It was way to much for me....

 

 

Chris - You still w/ us? Saw some nasty weather accounts of severe weather (hail = 5" diameter) passing through Springfield headed your way. Hope everyone is safe including your home.

 

Norm - I was at that Judged Car Show all day and just got done getting the car put away. I just took a look at the radar and see absolutely nothing coming our way. The hour by hour forecast is showing little to no chance of even light rain for the nexf 24-hours. Thanks for the heads-up though! I will post car show pics later after I get a bite to eat.

 

Doh...my fault. I was looking at 3-day old weather reports.

 

No problem, just appreciate you wanting to look out for us! 👍

 

Hi guys,

Spent the entire day at the judged car show about 40-miles from me. Great weather, and I had a great time, taking home a 1rst Place in my Class. You can check out the details and pics here:

Hi everyone.

Beautiful day here and I got a lot done, oddly enough. Two loads of laundry, got the kitchen cleaned up, and trimmed a bunch of branches and vines that had been growing onto the front porch. Also busted up several wooden chairs that will become firewood.

Chris the pictures look great. Not sure I have a favorite in them, well the 67 Olds for sure! I've been to one Summit cruise since they started the first of April. I hope I have better luck going to shows this summer than I did last summer.

Not sure what I'll do tomorrow after Walmart, besides rest that is, that place really sucks the life out of you. This week I'm gonna concentrate on my yard. I need to finish up that tree I cut down, finish up on the porch, and just generally straighten things up. Hell I need to get the tractor going, that throttle handle has been sitting on my kitchen counter for weeks.

But now, bed. Good night everyone.

 

Mike - I've been curious how the tractor is coming along.

 

Spent today out at the new place. We co-opted the berm house for target construction. The kids assembled conduit frames, I ripped luan, and my two buddies cut conduit and PVC. I stuck around and finished one.

 

 

Mike, This falls under the rather large umbrella of "None of my business' BUT if you really want to get a honey, I'd shy away from a Gama Goat and get a chick magnet like and E jag

 

Mike - Thanks for the compliment on the pics, glad you enjoyed them. Hope you've had both a productive and enjoyable day. Maggie has hurt one of her rear legs again, we're not really sure how she did it, but she's pretty gimpy! She has a regular Vet visit on Tuesday, so if she's not better by then we'll have the Vet check her out. What she really needs is to lose 10 to 15lbs.

 

Those should work great John, nice work! 👍 I've always thought it would be really fun to participate in one of your Appleseed events. That's something I'd really enjoy before I get too old!

 

Lowe's Home Improvement had the 26" EGO Hedger + 56V 2.5Ah Battery + Battery Charger on sale (on-line) $50 off ($229) until May 31, 2026. After my very mediocre golf game (Member-Member tournament) I picked it up. This is going to save me tons of time not to mention less impact on my decrepit bag of bones.

 

John - Nice job on the target frames & target backdrops.

 

Good deal Norm! 👍 I'm fixin here in a minute to start watching playoff hockey.

 

Chicken and Vegetables with Garlic Sauce, Extra Spicy (ton of Chinese Red Peppers)

 

Chris - Nice plate of food. Looks delicious.

 

Thanks Norm, it was!

 

Watching Cavaliers.
