Kilroy, putting that apple in with the pork sounds wonderful. Have to remember that.
a little natural sweetness
Also adds a little body to the sauce. šŸ˜šŸ‘

for TxDon that pork is not attractive.
I'm thinking his lookalike probably is nicely seasoned and very good too.

sure does look melt in your mouth.
that's what I call meat candy.

Frits, you looked very fit when I saw you. (unlike me)
I think when you set your mind to something, you get it done.
Like Don does.

time to get moving, bring in empty trash cans, get in ice cold car and go downtown looking for lights.
let there be lights.

One of the things I always enjoyed with a pork roast was throwing in some quartered potatoes and letting them roast in the pan drippings. It was always a debate in my family as to whether it was better to turn them and let the, get browned on all sides, or not turn them and let the bottom get super-crunchy…

Good Morning.
29° with a high of 45° (figured I’d use the degree symbol on the iPad)
Rain this afternoon.

Yesterday’s breakfast was good, conversation was interesting, as usual.
My friend taught Constitutional History at the college level after he retired as a lawyer, so he is fairly knowledgeable. We have similar political leanings, so the conversation isn’t as ā€œspiritedā€ as it could be.

Got my wife and her alpaca wares loaded into-


After that chased down details for the sale of my friend’s plane. Had an interesting visit at the space that he rents to a Fiskars repair shop. Interesting cars, but way behind in technology from what I can see.

Got a full pork Tenderloin ready to go into the smoker this afternoon. It should be a nice test of the new FireBoard Drive controller. I postponed the hydraulic oil change until the 17 gallon drain pan I ordered arrives.

This should make it a lot easier, and at less than 7ā€ tall it will work for all my other machinery and vehicles. Just periodically pump it out into pails to take to get burned in the waste oil heater in another buddy’s shop.

All the talk of soup creep made me chuckle. This is a 20qt pot cooling off in the garage. Turkey based starting with the Thanksgiving carcass and bits from carving the 22lb beast.

Today I have a few more things to chase down for the airplane sale, have to help my wife figure out the best way. To set up display racks for the second market she is doing this weekend, actually our youngest son will man that show while she is at the other one.

Then I’ll fire up the smoker and think about what sides I’m gonna make for dinner.

Morning, 27 going up to 49 and some sun, rain later
Got Christmas tree last night, trimmed the lower branches and ready for wife to decorate.
More tests today, bloodwork etc.
Maybe get some yardwork done if I get some time before it rains.

I boil the turkey bones with some spices etc. and make a few 2-cups servings of stock for cooking.

Wish they had earlier appointments for blood work, 10:15 splits the morning too much.

Be well,

Good Morning Guys,
Ct, 31 to start going to Wow 49 !:)

TxDon, excellent post on what needs to be done on to stay at home ! We went through all of this with my parents a few years back. We were there 2 or 3 times per week shuttling food for them and then of course the doctor visits also, those were extra trips on a regular basis ! It was a lot of work on my wife and myself, but they wanted to die at home, and we wanted to make that happen for them !

Kyle, while working as a modelmaker for Pitney Bowes, we had a 3 axis and 5 axis Maho machining center. So I vaguely remember some of the G codes and programing ! Also the machine zero and part zero etc,,, I did do a few interesting jobs on the 3 axis, mostly polycarbonate or aluminum, so easy machining !

Two of the grands are here, so very busy, and all of a sudden the kitchen sink not draining correctly, Bill, so need to pull that all apart sometime today !:rolleyes::unsure:

A picture of story time last night with Nana !

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !
