Yes, Rice in Hawaii.
Two stories. My main helper building the house took ill and was in the hospital shortly after we moved in. We went to the hospital to visit. He was doing well, but had 1 complaint - rice with every meal, 3x a day. And he hated rice.

A few years back one of the local radio shows sponsored a contest, about Christmas time as I recall. One of the main prizes was a years supply of rice, either a 25 or 50lb bag per month for a year donated by a local store. Pretty sure it was the 50lb as I recall often commenting what a lit of rice it was. Contest lasted several weeks, with daily winners during the week that became eligible. I don’t even recall what the other prizes were, but the rice was the most coveted.

And yes, we always have bag in the pantry. Brown rice is good, but good ole Japanese style white is our go to.

 

[Buppies]

Rice was one of my favorite go to foods rice pudding the best diabetes saw end to that

Prayers for all silent or spoken our Country

Coffee is done brewing. 29° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 59° with mostly sunny skies. Got flasher installed in lighthouse and programed to be like a real light house. Remembered that I had not mounted toolbox on trailer yet. Got that done. Did more pond cleanup. Need to start getting all the small stones out of pond that get stuck in vacuum hose. Even got all tool and benches cleaned up. Grocery shopping this morning. Then mow grass in afternoon.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

probably the best thing about fixing the coffee machine is that I no longer site on two pieces of wood (which were staring to “grow” which were on a cafeteria tray, to keep the water leak from spreading across the countertop!

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

51.1F, raining since zero-dark-hunnert, going to upper 50’s. Rain, showers, rain, rain showers rain.

yesterday was primarily an admin day, but the rain did stop for a bit in the afternoon, so I went back to working on the tiller, and about ten minutes after I got into it, rain resumed — even though radar indicated it would be clear for about three hours. A green blob just popped up, right over our area…

Senior dog came out with me while I was working, mainly to giver her a break from the puppy, and she promptly went to her “Happy Place”, which is sitting in TukTuk, all easy to go for a ride up to the woodlot. That wasn’t going to happen, and she stayed in TukTuk (which is under cover) for the next three hours, in spite of the rain. This is the dog that, six years ago, couldn’t go 50 feet (maybe 40) in a vehicle without yakking. Now she looks forward to rides!


today is looking like an “Administrative Day”, with intermission this afternoon to go to Kubota dealer again and see about actually pulling the trigger.
I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

Pull the trigger! Pull the trigger!

Good morning, 44 going to 68 nice day and sunny

Back to PT appointment for shoulder this afternoon. Shoulder continues to improve and using more resistance with the rubber workout tubes. Also worked out a series of exercises for the legs and some stretches with straps and rubber bands. I am definitely not very flexible. Remembered I had the tie up straps for planting trees and cut off some to help with the exercises.

Kil, good luck at the dealer.

 

[m7040]

Daughter is in the air landing Dulles this afternoon. All went well in Vienna and she will be off to the next adventure. Stay tuned.

 

[Looking4new]

C'mon, even suggesting that is poor form.

Might be, but ..

45 and damp, going to 71 then probably rain.

With low wind, while changing the oil in my truck, it was a delight to smell the competing aromas drifting by from Sweet Betsy, Royal Paulownia, and Lilac. I'm a fan of all 3, but together was something special.

My wife had her stitches removed yesterday, and the doctor gave her 12 really clear color photograghs of the inside of her shoulder during last week's surgery...showing the tools inside, and the damage they repaired, every step of the way. I didn't know they had enough clearance to get such clear photography, but it makes sense since that's how they do the surgery. This doctor team/company works on the Washington Redskins Commanders. They have a complete surgical center inside their doctors' office building. But the bad news is he said no driving for 2 more weeks.

Morning all, 47 going up to 59 and wet
Calling for rain next 4-5 days.
Got some of the bigger holes patched on the driveway.
Another local paving company showed up out of the blue yesterday, they must not be busy as this is the first year we had them just show up down our long drive.
Will meet up with neighbor to discuss whether he wants to move forward and then I will call a few for real quotes.

Son's band now has two songs on Spotify!

Be well,


We do have an amazing selection of Vines here, 2 of the 40 or so that I see in the woods.

 

[KilroyJC]

Pull the trigger! Pull the trigger!

We will, i am just not a big fan of “new”. I miss setting points with a matchbook. I get so little use from my SAE sockets anymore…

 

[KilroyJC]

Might be, but ..

He could always say he came out as “trans” and say she refused to accept it, and he couldn’t take the abuse, then she will be the one vilified and he will be the victim and get a book advance and movie deal. It is California, after all…

They should have kept the name but changed the mascot to a potato. Just to freak out the haters.

Good morning, the low is 36 and the high to 53°F. Wind N 5 mph. 2% chance of rain.

I am glad the gravel came yesterday in the rain. I didn't have to waste my water packing it all down.

Next battle is the PO. I will do that while I am doing the dump/town run today.

If I offended you check, I am sorry. My comment was made in jest.

Have a safe day all

White rice stores better than brown rice.

Yes, but, white rice has the husk, bran, and germ removed, which extends shelf life but at a cost. White rice contains less fiber, protein, antioxidants, and certain vitamins and minerals than brown rice. We always buy brown rice and have never had any rice gone bad. Has anyone?

Good morning! a wonderful 1" rain last night and more expected tomorrow, so I hope it dries enough by this evening to mow or I'll have to set the lawn mower up another inch.

60˚ heading to the mid 70s, cloudy now but is suppose to be sunny this afternoon. NW wind.

Pull the trigger! Pull the trigger!
