Today’s low was a mostly sunny 35ºF and today’s high temperature was a mostly sunny 54ºF. It was a hectic day today. I dropped the R-1”s off with the tire center (ready tomorrow at 8:30AM), took a wasted trip to the local butcher/smokehouse who unexpectedly closed and then a trip down to the “Big City” to get meds, groceries, dog treats, and “supplies”
(treats for me). Wifey had a rather poor night last night due to pain which started before dinner so the family recipe brisket and latkes planned dinner for last night will be tonight’s. The extra cooking should not hurt the (smoked) brisket.
Peg- Is much better today.
We found out today that our Health Insurance will not cover out of country ER bills submitted in Spanish. Like the entire corporation does not have one Spanish speaking employee.
Don- I am happy to read that your Dad made his decision more on his terms than anyone else.
Personally I like using shopping carts except when unattended in parking lots.
I have a 50” something wall mounted TV which I installed with Wifey’s assistance. I did a decent job with the wall mount; next time a professional will do it if necessary.
Ted- A nicely dug trench. I rarely get a pic of what I cook; I am usually to
hungry. :embarrassed: Nice bags.
“…. Ron will be interesting to see how she handle the backward brake usage.”- Bruce. An interesting concept; tired hands may make for some sudden unexpected stops.
Eric- Thanks for explaining how some expended toilet paper rolls are recycled.
Roy- One benefit of working vacations/holidays is that supervisory personnel are not really focused on work. I agree with Thomas. The CT River Valley was under a temperature inversion today which kept nasty particulate matter and ozone at ground level. It did make for a pretty sunrise.
Paul- I celebrate Jewish holidays with my stomach. Wifey who has clergy ancestors that go back to the late 1600’s on this continent insists that I light the Menorah. … and sing the prayer(s)
“… Another of my favorites is potato latkes...mmm, mmmm.”- Ted I’ve refined my Mom’s recipe to include the use of our Cuisinart®. Definitely good eats that I will soon start making. I have less than + thoughts and wishes for “neighbors” like yours/those. We have a similar problem here and it really screwed the guy from whom we buy our firewood.
We are zoned agriculturally.
“…. I'm still at work, BTW...and glad I came in. The plant manager gave me a fifth of Jameson Irish Whiskey!!”- Roy Sometimes the extra effort pays off.
Lou- Your Christmas staple read like good eats. I’ll be smoking a boneless leg of lamb for Christmas. That and rosemary encrusted baked potatoes. The supermarket where I usually shop today closely resembled the traffic patterns in CR.
An interesting day.
My + thoughts and prayers.
