Good morning!!!!

Yes, the salt content is high..... I am sure there are a bunch of other nasties in it also..... you only live once right?. When I was a kid, it was practically a Saturday morning staple....

Now there is this stuff called "Scrapple" .... THAT, I cannot eat.... can't even stand the smell of it cooking.... my sisters loved it.

Too funny, Ted.
I know what scrapple is, but there was a jersey diner that I almost always ordered it for breakfast. Fried with a nice crust.
As for the Pork Roll, we shared our meals generously with the dogs (after the company left of course), found it just OK, nothing special.
SPAM, that’s a local, in Hawaii favorite and we usually have a can or 2 in the pantry. Can even get it at Mickey D’s breakfast.

Not a highly productive day. Watched some football, got yesterday’s lumber nailed together.
Grilled a couple of ribeyes, along with possibly the end of our corn, marinated tomatoes, pickled cucumbers, and air fryer eggplant fries.
Just gonna take it easy rest of the day.

Mostly, a bit strange to me as well. Apparently, Spam and Macaroni salad were two staples back in WWII. Amazing to me to see the Spam displays in the stores. Vienna sausages another. As I understand it, Spam was the most readily available protein, macaroni was used to supplement potatoes.

68 right now...high in the mid-70's today

Well, sold the 4520...no complaints about the deal and I got all cash.
Thanks to another TBN member (you know who you are!), I got invaluable information about the Kioti I was looking at. Turns out, it's not a 2011 model...it's a 2001 model. Don't think the seller was trying to rip me off...good chance he got ripped off when he bought the machine a year ago.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do...other then keep looking.

The grass is white over with frost this morning for the first time this autumn. Fortunately only did a small amount of pointing yesterday, so was able to cover it with a 4'x8' sheet of insulation. Much quieter now the swallows have left, hope a robbin will soon take over the early morning sing song.

I patched some cracks in my Muck boots yesterday...really need waterproof boots this time of year since the grass is thick and so wet with dew every morning. I opened a tube of Aquaseal...supposed to use for my waders, but hoping it will work on these boots.

Wng, I have had limited success using Aquaseal on welly boots. It lasted more than long enough to get a new pair, however after a few months it gradually peeled away, partially I think because it is doesn't flex as much as rubber. Also it doesn't bond well if silicon spray has been periodically used on the rubber to keep it from cracking, so last time I used even more glass paper to remove the top layer of rubber - and ended up with an even bigger hole to fix !

good morning all. Warm morning, 68 out now, light rain last night was not expected but cleared out now and up to mid 80's today.
I'm off to urologist this morning over in Washington, get my prescription for Flomax renewed (BPH) and ask him about what I can do about "frequency".
The joys of getting older........

Yes, the salt content is high..... I am sure there are a bunch of other nasties in it also..... you only live once right?.
I'd say that will be today's understatement. I too grew up with parents who loved to fry scrapple on Sunday morning, and being from PA we sure had Taylor Pork Roll, which
I thought tasted like really interesting spicy sausage. But gosh, read the labels...Taylor Pork Roll is seriously full of nitrites and nitrates and that funny burgundy color comes from chemicals, not
natural. And scrapple? It must be 75% fat. Two of the most unhealthy things one can eat. Plus scrapple has to be cooked crispy to not be gross and that cooking adds cancer causing issues all by itself. If I were offered some at a friend's home I think I would take one bite to remind me what it tasted like (scrapple is often peppery which I like) and then hide the rest. Pork roll is often served with cheese so the total fat grams is simply off the chart. I think I'd rather get my fat from a nice juicy burger, not that stuff...

The issue is do you want to be sick while you live or be healthy and pain free without a ton of prescription pills taken every day? If so, foods like these are the IEDs of the food world.
How many times can your Hummer drive over one before it stops humming?...

Had a nice zoom meeting with my sister last night, she was tuckered out from having grandkids over for much of the day and playing down on the beach. She has always been immensely supportive of me and I love her dearly. I just wish she wasn't 3000 miles away while I hate flying.

Hope you all have a good start to the week.

Sorry about Tractor Roy sure something else will pop up

Prayers for all

Mixed news about tractor Roy. Maybe Kioti seller would reset price based on the updated knowledge. Good luck regardless.
