Nice save!

Yet you’re probably pretty happy with your hospital’s outcome, right?

What, and take a chance at getting bird flu???

I had a co-worker get the flu about 8-10 years ago. She was around 50, healthy, active and fun to be around. She got sick, then went to the hospital, then she died.

I get the shot every year too. There are a lot of naysayers, and it's not 100% effective, but the *science* shows it reduces the chances of getting the flu. And, the flu kills 10s of thousands each year. I'm also pretty diligent about washing my hands well and often, especially during the season. We don't know where this corona virus is going, but there is a tendency for hype and overreaction about stuff like this. Best of luck to your family.

We're seeing more cardinals recently. One likes to sit on our deck furniture and fight with himself in the reflection in the window.

Boy -- that brings back memories. Used to do leathercraft back in the 70's and the store I used was Tandy in Independence. They're still there! Here's a store locator -- I see there's one in Springfield. Looks like you can order online too.

I love them in my guacamole!

Geez...

Thought this was kinda cool. Nothing but a squirrel on it at this moment...

It really started going downhill with the 19th Amendment.

Just texted a doctor friend of mine. He admitted the electromyography is a total bunch of crap that they cooked up just to make money. He said not even the insurance companies are onto their little scam. Wanted to know who tipped me off, but I wouldn't tell him.

Well, after mine got skunked we were done for the weekend. Took them back to the room to try to get a little of the stink off, but wasn't too successful. Left an apology note and a big tip for the maid. Drove back to KC with the windows open. Not fun doing I-70 for 5ish hours with the windows open in November.

I've got my dad's lantern and Coleman stove too. Both would have been bought in the 60s. Can't seem to let them go even though I've got better stuff for both.

My Brittanys both got sprayed while bird hunting in western Kansas a few years ago. And it sucked.

Soup from the stock I made. Beef, taters, veggies. This was delicious.

I kinda wondered about smart TVs falling behind. They’ve go an operating system baked in, right? I don’t even remember how old my TV is. 10 or more years probably. It’s plasma 😄I’ve got Google fiber and an Apple TV box. Can get what I want through the apps or by casting. May be behind and paying too much, but doesn’t really want to jack with changing it. Went into Costco tonight and the 82 inch for $650 just inside the door kinda caught my eye. Our local Fox affiliate rebroadcast a 1994 Chiefs v Broncos game Friday night. We’ve sure come a long way. First off is the 3:2 aspect ratio. Then the resolution. Pre-replay too. Pretty interesting. Oh, and Elway scored for the lead with about a minute and a half left. Montana brought us the win with less than a minute.

Those loaves look great. Ho-made bread is something really special. Wish I could afford the calories and carbs, because I love it.

Beef stock has an amazing, rich, 'boney' flavor! Making some soup with it now. Over the weekend, did a ho-made chicken soup. Stock from the back and wings first, then did the soup from that with breast, leg and thigh meat. Good stuff -- a lot better than a store-bought stock-based soup and not all that much work for a Saturday.

Approximately how much stock will you make?
