Leftover tuna casserole (with peas of course) pan fried in butter to put a crispy crust on both sides. Frank's Red Hot to give a little extra pizazz, cup of good fresh coffee. No pictures, I already ate it.😎

Corn cobs for TP in the old outhouse. Those were the days.

See. Right again.

I'm sure it was. I've been lucky in that regard, knock on wood.

Fewer tornadoes in HOA, more tornadoes in trailer park?

Hey!

Dropped off a deer at the local processing plant about noon on Saturday. Picked it up today. So, you never know. Edit: There were six or seven people on the floor when I got there. Working up venison the right way. Clean, place looked great. Nice looking equipment and people. Not cheap but worth it to me.

Now I'm hungry for a frito chili pie.😔

I miss deer camp too. They used to be quite something.

An honest to gosh whopper! Congratulations.

4 lbs ground beef or venison 1 lb williams mild sausage 1 large yellow onion chopped 2 heaping tablespoons minced garlic 1/3 cup chili powder 3 cans (16 oz) red beans drained and rinsed 2 cans (14.5 oz)diced tomatoes 1 can (14 oz) beef broth 2 cans (4 oz) diced green chiles 5 beef boullion cubes 3 tsp garlic powder 3 tsp cumin 1 tsp black pepper Mix the meat with all the dry seasonings. Make it into a big patty and cook on a smoker letting the juices drip into a large dutch oven. When the meat is done mix everything else with it and cook maybe 250 degrees or so on the smoker for two or three hours. I added a can of original rotel to the recipe above. Like all chili, its better the next day.

Credit where credit is due. I got the recipe from Les, who in turn got it from one of his friends. It's a great recipe!

I know. I still like the venison though. So still go. But it's now almost sad to kill anything. Almost. But I still do.

My best friend that I used to process all our deer together with up and died on me. I still have the stuff and the know how but find myself lacking the want to. Our local processing plant is working deer just like alwways.

If there was a middle finger emoji, I'd use it!!!!

Stay safe above all. This crap is going to be more or less under control in a few months, (thanks to election of Joe Biden) See you in the springtime after we're vaccinated.

Hoping for good news for all concerned.

I don't really think of myself as high risk until I realize I'm 68 and that makes me high risk whether I like it or not. Appreciate you understanding. Gonna miss you guys. Sounds like some really good news on the vaccine situation so maybe we can do something in the spring.

Only if you go through Springfield. I'll take a rain check though!

Salad and cheesecake from my St. Louis type bro's. What could be better? Wait. Pete, send Gioia's too. 😎

You guys may hate me for this but I want to let you know sooner than later. In light of this big virus wave and all the professional advice to stay home, I'm going to wait until I've been vaccinated to be in any large or even largish gatherings. So have fun without me OK? JestersHK do you need my address to send me a cheesecake?

My neighbor's son in law shot a six point in the neck this morning at an honest 450+ yards. I need to step it off. Remington 700 heavy barrel .308 with target stock and a big danged Zeiss scope. His wife and mother in law watched it happen out the back window of their house. They had texted him to look for the deer. Man what a shot. I don't think it was an accident either. They said the deer dropped and never even moved a hoof. Seeing where it was hit, I believe it.

I do like the meat and killed a young doe this morning.😎

I wrapped my first canoe - glass square stern thing - around a tree on Center Creek in 1974. Pulled it off with a tractor. It popped back into shape and I repaired it with woven fiberglass and epoxy inside and out. Never a problem with the repair and I used that boat for a lot of years when I was in college and very poor. An aluminum boat would have been toast.

When I was the operations manager, I had a sign in both bathrooms that informed everyone their mother didn't work here and it was their responsibility to clean up after themselves. Didn't work either, dang it.
