We used to mix pineapple vodka, vanilla rum, and a splash of pineapple soda. Chill as cold as you can on a hot day and it's amazing. We named it "panty droppers" cause it sneaked up on ya so fast. We also substituted coconut rum or coconut…
HT1 - won a locally made apple pie in a silent auction last night. HT2 - Found some forgotten vanilla ice cream. It went exquisitely well on the pie for breakfast. HT3 - Breakfast will make cleaning the house more enjoyable
Attended a small town play last night. Actually, a musical. Afterwards, found a small bar & grill that had a phenomenal grilled cheese with smoked pulled pork, and sautéed jalapeños. Coupled with a great dark local beer and my lovely Lady,…
Security camera just captured the commercial bee keeper delivering hives. He typically stages about 250 hives while waiting for the next move for crop pollination.
"That's the kind of product that has no legitimate civilian use. I can't even see a use for typical law enforcement or even military." The same can be said for boats, muscle cars, sport bikes, art, .....
Attended the NRA convention in Houston over the weekend. Lots of toys to spend money on. The wildest money sink displayed was a lever action rifle with a sideways folding stock, a 50 round drum magazine, and a flame thrower mounted below t…
More chickens? Hopefully never. We don't eat a lot of eggs; mainly from scheduling issues. We have six nesting boxes for the six birds. They are too young to tell if we have a rooster yet. These six birds will easily produce more eggs than…
Flip-flops, this is our first time raising chickens. Most folks around here build simple coups and runs. We built an elaborate structur. I call it our chicken palace. It includes a rain water system with automatic waters. Gravity feeders.…
Careful! Those Hamletons can become a "gateway" to several models. chuckling For context, the head of the speed adjustment screw has a diameter of about .049 inches. The threaded part is maybe half that. The smallest electronic screwdriver…
Reading my previous, previous post, I see that my phone was heping again. No "matchmakers" were involved. Only "watchmakers". The A11 wrist watch is fairly easy to find on ebay. But most require significant repairs/replacement of the dial…
Interesting that a kink/LS site discusses recipes, gardening, hunting, and now time pieces. chuckling This specific watch is a Hamilton 5992b produced in the 40s for the Army Air Corps. I've played with taking a wrist watch apart and then…
Had somewhat of the same simple help. Only this time it was helping me. A matchmaker on the east coast had serviced a vintage watch for me. The hands were not aligned properly. He coached me on adjusting the hands. I had fun playing matchm…
The little cold snap Monday did a number on the citrus and volunteer tomato plants. Have a lemon, lime, and artic Satsuma to repot in small garden wheelbarrows today. Gona try an idea to make it easier to wheel plants inside and give them…
A buddy helps me with the hives. He sells the honey at a local store. ATM, we have maybe 40 gallons of processed honey as payment for allowing a commercial beekeeper to winter about 250 hives in our pasture. I use it to brew mead. We are a…
Planting carrot and leek seeds, and making seedling pots for other seed starters today. Plan to pickup chicks next weekend. We have a space set up for the chicks to mature. We have two bee hives left of last year's eight. Looking for three…
Scream Labs X1 Interrogator?? I've found only one pic and if correct, this isn't your simple e-stimulator. We may be building some furniture soon. I prefer foldable type that be hidden in the living room.
A couple years ago we made beef burgandy for the first time with the idea of canning it. It was a delightful success! But a lot of unexpected work. We've been thinking of trying it again. Just need a whole day clear of other commitments to…
The "hamburger " menu button is in the upper left as normal. When I click on it the background will change, but the drop down menu doesn't appear. When in "messages", the drop down does appear.
It's possible there has been a browser update I'm unaware of. But I've been using the same browser on this site for maybe a decade without issues. I thought it may have had something to do with the new beta site since the issues started no…
I've been accessing the web page via my android for years without any major issues. For the last couple of weeks the pull down menu is only accessible when I'm on the messages page. I can step through the forum page once I get there. I can…
We have a Symbian. It was her Christmas present some years ago. I hear the motobunny is cheaper and just as good. They are fun, but storage and transport are issues.
Have had multiple robo-litter boxes. They are a requirement in our 3-cat house. Litter Maid was great, till they left the market. Thus far, the popur box is doing well. It's big, but it works.
We've been considering making a weekend trip there to see the amenities. But we don't have an RV, and setting up our tent (it's 18x20 feet including ropes) is a bit much for a weekend event. It's difficult to plan this getaway far enough i…
Someonescomong, it's possible that your horse is taking slight differences in stirrup pressure or slight differences in hip pressure as a que. The more highly trained a horse is, the lighter the ques may be. My fist horse knew when to igno…
Farming and ranching is a lot of year round work. Hunting leases are relatively simple and can bring in about the same yearly income. Sometimes economic reality bites. Years ago, when practicing for archery off horseback, square bales were…
Looking for suggestions and reviews on sex swings. I'm looking for advice on a door mount and a single or dual mount versions. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
In the back seat of a friend's car, through the open car door, in a restaurant parking lot, after dinner this evening. It was delightful for all involved.
Have garlic to plant. But spent the day meeting contractors, getting horse feed, and trimming the herbs. Also giving everything a shot of EM-1 microbe fertilizer. Tried this spring and everything did very well.
Wow, 12 hours just to cut shooting lanes. It takes me a minimum of 16 hours to cut my pastures. Break downs, maintenance, and "trimming" (backing the bush hog into the tree lines) are extra.
When I bought my bike, I also started buying the HD t-shirts. They had Looney Tunes characters. Some of the sexyiest female rabbits I've ever seen. chuckling
Many years ago, I sold my 1974, Honda 750-4 to buy a horse. Who's name was,,,,, Harley. He had a soft, white tail. grinning I decided that my next bike would be a Goldwing. Then they started attaching plastic covers to it. In '08, after re…
Man! These things have gotten a bit pricey. I gave her a Sybian for Christmas several years ago. It has been a lot of fun, but still a lot of money to sit in the closet.
Back when I had the time, fishing and hunting was more about getting outside. Now that I have a few acres, I'm always fixing or tending something. So just relaxing under a tree while the wind blows through the tree tops is a treat.
With fall approaching I'm looking forward to just sitting at the base of a tree to just listen. After a summer of gardening, canning, harvesting, it's nice to just listen to the quiet. I rarely see anything since the dog are usually runnin…
We have a half black lab, half blue healer. He can't swim and be bites his water instead of licking it. He isn't afraid of water, but when his butt sinks he can't pull it back up. He just floats like a cork and flails at the water. He alwa…
Had six friends over to help harvest muscadines. Got to show off the new chicken palace (too nice to be a coup), ate about 14 pounds of pork/beef/venison, two home made pies, about a gallon of ice cream, half gallon of sasaphrass tea, a bo…
@Beachcpl, I've hauled horses and heavy trailers for years. A huge help when hauling a bumper pull are leveling air bags. They only work on leaf springs. Dodge uses rear springs, so you can't get leveling air bags for them. They do make an…
Chuckling, now. The guy leading the group was passed at us. The gal with them had a big, embarrased grin, another guy looked like I could have high-fived him. Right after C19 we played in a store dressing room. Gave me a whole new outlook…
I've enjoyed my Saga 12 and 410. The club where I had a membership wouldn't allow it on the skeet ranges because the barrel was too short. They weren't taking any chances with someone not remaining between the verticle barriers at the shoo…
Picked up a lever gun "that doesn't exist", per a guy claiming to be a Winchester guru. Was hoping to install a tang peep sight. But having trouble finding one that mounts with a tang safety.
Both of us had engaged in the LS prior to meeting, but didn't know here was a term for it. After meeting we realized we both enjoyed it and there were websites for it. That was when a lyric in a Van Halen song made sense.
My Lady has had 10 inches. She enjoyed the experience, but she felt bruised afterwards. One guy was just too big around. He couldn't fit. His member seemed to cover half her face. Lol
I've been fortunate enough to own or shoot several types of 12 ga shotguns. I bought a very nice Chiapa remake of the Winchester 1887 lever action. I was considering using it in cowboy shooting. The light loads used in competition shooting…
BF1: two bees (might have been wasps) stung me on the forehead while mowing around the hives. First time this has happened in the three years I've had active hives. BF2: didn't finish the mowing. Mainly because I developed a mild-medium ca…
I managed to keep a pineapple plant alive long enough to harvest a ripe pineapple. It was the best tasting we've ever had. The second plant has a nicely formed pineapple, but both plants are now looking poorly. Not sure it it's the summer…
The squirrels are doing a good job of stealing our pears and peaches one at a time. The dogs help, but many times they don't see the varmit till it's too late.
Which party are you interested in? The canning party, the vineyard trimming party, blueberry harvesting party, spicy bourbon pickle party, or the play party? Chuckling
Got a little over zealous Sunday trying to clear freezer room for the muscadine harvest coming. We smoked two 12# brisket, a pork loin, a pork roast, and ribs. The ribs were dinner. The rest now needs to be canned. A lot for one day.
When I was flying, it was called the $100 hamburger. Basically an excuse to fly somewhere for lunch. Today the plan is to take the bike on a 2.5 hour spin for lunch. Five hours of riding time with my sweet-pea. I should probably install th…
