Good morning!!!!

The next day, my wife saw the other little girl's mother, and she said to my wife, "I've just got to ask what you had for supper last night, because my daughter said you had jail food.":laughing:

:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Very amusing, Bird, thanks for sharing.

I'd have been one of those guys sending out for lunch on butter bean day, as limas have always just stuck in my throat when I tried to swallow them. Just goes to show how much tastes and preferences vary, though. My mother loved limas. That or she loved watching my dad and I suffer on jail food night.:laughing:

69°F and another 1.09 inches rain. Sun shining now.

Back to regular programming in the garage today.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Got the garage door insulated and it made a huge difference. Took 3 sheets of foam and cost less than $15 a sheet. Also got a can of spray foam and a roll of foil tape. A new door would be better but about $60 bucks will do just fine for now.

Mama used to make butter beans (the little ones) on the wood cook stove. Put the pan on the back of the stove right after breakfast with butter beans, a couple big blobs of bacon grease and 1/4 cup of sugar. Let them cook right slow all day and have them for supper. :licking: Not good for you but good to you.

Bird, jail food sounds good to me. Might have to talk to the wife. Ed

That's awesome, Randy. Put a boy on a tractor of any size, and he's good to go for the rest of the day.

That one only has a 57” wheelbase and it has power steering, so he can handle it. The bigger tractors and manual transmissions are bit too much yet.

Growing up a sandwich was most anything stuck between 2 slices of bread, but it also could be a single slice of bread folded in half. I can remember Mom cutting a slice vertically to make two, but the fold method was more common. An open face sandwich was a single slice with something on top, usually meat, always gravy. Looking back, a sandwich was probably most anything we want to eat holding in our hands or not involving a plate.
My paternal grandfather was big on bean sandwiches. Always homemade Boston baked beans. Usually had them cold or sometimes fried.

Yep, same here. Until I was about 16 years old, my Dad would not eat "light bread"; i.e., store bought bread. My mother baked biscuits, cornbread, or yeast rolls for every meal if Dad was going to be there at meal time. For 5 or 6 years, his job had him spending one night a week in the Kincaid Hotel in Oklahoma City. So if I could find enough pop bottles to sell for 2 cents each, we'd buy a loaf of bread and some baloney and have baloney sandwiches that night. Hard to believe now that those baloney sandwiches were a real treat. But then when I was 10 years old and we moved to Healdton, OK, and I was raising registered Berkshire hogs for the 4-H Club and showing them at the Fair in Ardmore, I could buy "day old" bread at the local bakery for 3 cents a loaf to feed my hogs. Mother would take me to the bakery and I'd buy 100 loaves at a time, so I got all the bread I wanted to eat; didn't give it all to the hogs.:laughing: In fact, it was 3 cents a package, whether it was a loaf of bread, a cake, a package of cinnamon rolls, or a pie.

We use to drive from South Mills, NC over to Norfolk, VA to the bakery and buy day old stuff by the pickup load, some went to the hogs and a lot of Twinkies and such went to we three boys.

Gotta love those memories of day old stuff - some of the best treats.

Good evening all. 80F for the start, partly cloudy, light breeze. Wind picked up, sky cleared off and high temp was 101F. Bike ride this morning, followed by rehydrating time. Nap after lunch and is very difficult to go outside in the afternoon these days. Did do some truck and van searching this evening.
Prayers for all.

MostlyG, I have the bike in back of the truck and will take it in for an estimate to make it road worthy. Now, the question is at what $ would it be wiser to just get another road bike? I have not started to shop, I guess I should before I spend too much.
