I’ve been wondering too. I heard some familiar names on the news:Willard, Nixa. I hope everybody made out ok.

I had a boss many years back that used that term when something looked out of whack. Usually something like, ‘Holy $&@“ing sh$&, we got us a defalcation!’

Defalcation?🤪

Those Kansans are suckers! Coulda got one off Etsy for $9! 😀 Link is ness guaranteed safe. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1261765924/african-milk-tree?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_ps-e-home_and_living&utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAjwq7fABhB2EiwAwk-YbBcEnqZTZM8ZqyeKfBNgHutV0i5Svh1UM1cQWP9dwsS1kcSZFq7haRoCq3IQAvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_22198874560_171325089581_731770528547_aud-2087868701483:pla-303628061699_m__1261765924_12768591&utm_custom2=22198874560&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRLvXKCBS5EDDmScSEn-qlOOQ&gclid=CjwKCAjwq7fABhB2EiwAwk-YbBcEnqZTZM8ZqyeKfBNgHutV0i5Svh1UM1cQWP9dwsS1kcSZFq7haRoCq3IQAvD_BwE

Man, this is simple, pure, fun fishing and I love it!

Here’s a whole recipe that Kathy does. Delicious! Brown Sugar Bourbon Glazed Salmon Jul12 by John Ingredients ½ cup brown sugar 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon minced garlic ½ teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons bourbon (optional) ½ cup chopped pecans toasted 2 pounds salmon filets Instructions For the Marinade: 1. Combine all ingredients except the pecans and salmon in a bowl. 3. Place half of the marinade and the salmon in a Ziplock bag. Squeeze out the air and zip the bag tightly. Set aside the other half of the marinade to use as a glaze. Marinate the Salmon for 1-3 hours. Flip the bag every ½ hour or so to marinate evenly. For the Glaze: 1. Place the remaining half of the marinade in a small saucepan on the stove. Bring to a boil, then reduce the temperature to low and simmer until the mixture thickens and reduces a little. For the Pecan Topping: 1. Place the chopped pecans on a flat baking sheet which has been covered with aluminum foil or parchment paper. 2. Toast the pecan for 3-5 minutes, until they darken a little and they start to smell sooo good. Watch closely – the nuts can burn quickly! For the Salmon: 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2. Cover a baking dish or pan with aluminum foil and spray the foil-covered pan with nonstick spray. Take the salmon out of the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the Salmon (skin-side down) on the prepared pan. Sprinkle the salmon with the toasted pecans pressing the pecans firmly into the salmon. Brush or spoon ⅓ of the glaze onto the salmon. 3. Place the salmon in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily. Re-glaze the salmon with the glaze every 8-10 minutes (about 3 times).

File them extensions and get outside!

We went on a bike ride Saturday and I stopped at a place along the trail where I’d found them before. Really only gave a half-hearted go of it. Nada.

I'm working from home today and heard the school bus stop out front to pick up the neighbor kids, and this popped into my head... A friend of mine owned a farm southeast of KC and invited me and my young twin boys to come out and look for morels. This was going to be their first long time outdoors away from a toilet, so before we left home I gave them a little talk about going to the bathroom outside. Of course, as soon as we hopped out of the car they both had to go . It was a good time and we found quite a few. Now it had never occurred to me to tell the boys when NOT to go to the bathroom outside.... The following Monday the boys headed outside to wait for the school bus. And yep, ness 2.3 opens up his pants and begins to do his business right there on the lawn.

Looks great. Looks like some chicken thighs but not sure what else. L’il help?

Oh my goodness!!!

Bananas Foster, a healthy fruit-based dessert.

I don’t need it delivered as much as I need it postmarked 😀

Gotta mail a couple checks tomorrow. I wonder if these stamps are still accepted?😀 @Gavin??

Ah, the old "wind knot".

There’s a documentary on Netflix currently about the 2011 Joplin tornado called ‘The Twister’. Lots of interviews with people that went through it, footage and news coverage from it. It’s pretty interesting but, in my humble opinion, not really a well-crafted documentary. Regardless, it documents a really tragic event that’s pretty close to home for a lot of us. Certainly worth a watch.

I’m gonna sit this one out.

3 and 9 are dead to me 😀

Pasta with a vodka cream sauce Grandma Vi’s pancakes

Or a retired person😀

I just noticed we've passed the 10-year mark with this thread last month. Almost 1400 pages at 10 posts per page. That's kinda crazy!

We did a quick drive up to a town we like north of KC. I was encouraged by the number of red and white buds I saw once well outside the suburbs.

Homemade pizza! I’m sure people will ask so I’ll provide the recipe: Ingredients 1 Totino’s Hamburger Party Pizza 1/2 glob grated cheese, chef’s choice Directions 1. Place pizza on a cooking thing. 2. Add cheese. 3. Cook according to package directions but add 5 minutes. Seriously: the missus and I both had a busy week and are tired of cooking and eating out too. We saw those pizzas at the store, chuckled and thought what the heck?? 🤪

They already have here largely. I will say they seem to be out in the open fields, along roadsides or forest edges, not so much penetrating into the woods.

The problem is, in my experience, the root systems will send up suckers long after the tree is down. I've been spraying the suckers that come up from the ones I took out for a few years. It's getting to be less and less and maybe none this year, but they're a bugger to get rid of.
