Have done Reubens the last couple days with the ho'made sauerkraut. Really tasty and a nice change from the sandwiches we typically have here.

Been about 4 weeks so I jarred up the kraut. Got almost 3 quarts from two medium-sized cabbage heads. Flavor is very good. Quite a bit crunchier than store bought kraut. I think we’ll do Reubens this week.

Oh heck no, I’m not telling any grandma anything. Learned that long ago. Just get two containers of mushrooms - one for her and one for the short ribs 😄

Been about three weeks. Strained out the lemon peels and ran it through a coffee filter. Recipes are all over the place. Added a 3/1 mixture of sugar and water and cut it to 33% alcohol. Too strong and needed more sweet to improve the flavor. Cut it to about 15% with 50/50 sugar and water. Perfect! Served ice cold

Ok, before I bestow a like I gotta know what the green stuff is....

Bung holes. I can’t get bung holes out of my mind. 😄

What’s coming?

The first 4-5 times? How many times has this happened? You must be on their radar. They probably read OAF 😄

You should be with me during a sobriety check. I get right back on the road and sleep in my own bed 😄

Yeah, that’s a good approach. Let those a##holes how you think they oughta be doing it 😄

Here’s my policy: 1) Follow the rules 2) Smile and be nice to the authorities 3) No matter what, don’t argue It has worked well for me in many situations.

Shrimp tacos. Marinated in oil, chipotle powder, ancho chili powder and garlic powder. Mango salsa with red onion, jalapeño and lime juice. Sauce of mayo, chipotle powder, hot sauce.

You've clearly give this more thought than I ever did

Well I was under 18 too. Double jeopardy -- we're fine.

Trixie was hot!

Anybody remember this? or this?

I'll reciprocate!

I know you see that and think dinner. I see that and think that tomato thief better stay the he&& outta my attic!

Here's another angle...

But that's not how she was!

I'm about 8 months into this and I really love the camera. I get great pictures right out of the camera. Love the Auto-ISO, film simulations, much more. The only thing is...Fujifilm's next level up camera went on sale and Adorama will pay me enough for my old camera to make the upgrade less than if I had bought the better one to begin with. Make sense? Well, if it's a little squishy sounding that's because I'm justifyin' here! Bought the Fujifilm X-T3 and sold the X-T30. New one is a little larger, better build (magnesium alloy body), weather sealed and adds ISO and metering modes on external dials, rather than in menus. Shutter and exposure compensation are still on dials like on the previous one. Over the last several months I've really grown to love the external dials. Everything you need for exposure, metering and mode is on a dial. You can see where you are at a glance, make the adjustment and shoot quickly without fumbling through menus. These additions are what really got me thinking. That and the sale. And the beefier build. And the fact that I never buy anything for myself, which Kathy points out is what I say every time Since it's a little bigger it feels better in the hand. And, the buttons are spaced out more and there's the addition of a 4-axis d-pad for moving around in menus or changing focus points. Other than all that it's pretty similar to the old one specs-wise, mostly a better form factor and a few advanced features. There will be very little learning curve on this upgrade. Pretty jazzed about the upgrade. It's what I would have bought if I'd have had more confidence switching from Nikon to Fujifilm back in January. But I love the system, and I'm all in now. I've got the better body and the range covered from 15mm to 300mm in three zoom lenses and a 50mm prime. I'm in great shape -- just need to get out and shoot!! Here's a few of my favorites from the old camera:

I have had that happen on my phone when I have a very weak internet connection. I know it sounds weird but that's what I figured out. Try turning off WiFi and see if it works with cell, or get to a better WiFi connection.
