Verizon keeps hounding me with texts and offers of upgrading to Pixel 7 for free or Pixel 7 Pro for $180 if I go to a 5G plan. I have a Pixel 3A that is working perfectly fine (but I don't like smart phones). Verizon lied to me a few years ago about 3G being dropped off the network very soon...

Began experimenting at making my own sauce. Been looking at the list of ingredients on barbecue sauce bottles. Have also reviewed many barbecue sauce recipes. It's amazing how many store-bought sauces list high fructose corn syrup as their first ingredient. After that some also have...

I grew up fishing the Gasconade River in Missouri. Beautiful and winding gravel bottomed river. In some spots you could float for 50 miles on the river and only have traveled 5 miles in a straight line from put in point to take out point. I used to wade the river near the camp gounds during...

No, never played it. I need to get out my guitar and practice. I wanted to go to a guitar workshop in August but I haven't played in so long that I don't know if I have enough time to get ready after my restrictions are lifted. There will be other workshops though.

Went up to town to run a couple of errands this morning. Stopped at Scheel's for fun. Geez Louise! Prices are outrageous. Good I didn't really need anything. I'm going to have to watch Wally World for sales. I've accepted the fact that I'm going to stick to bank fishing which is fine. I'd...

On Youtube it appears that for fishing there are mostly videos of fishing from boats. Next are the videos showing fishing from a kayak. Then come the videos showing bank fishing. Which type of fishing do you guys prefer? Do you fish rivers, lakes, ponds, the ocean, or other bodies of water...

Thanks Timbo! I had a decompression and fusion done during that surgery. After the 6 weeks are up I don't have any restrictions. Just having trouble waiting it out but I know it will all be worth it.

Today, two weeks completed with four more to go. Bored to tears but feeling great. That scares me because I'm afraid I'll absent-mindedly do something that will screw up my bone grafts.

Excellent! Thanks. "Barbecue sauce is basically spiced ketchup so we make our own." How true, how true. At least in most parts of the U.S. I like the ideas behind the sauces from the Carolinas too.

Too thick and sweet for me so I thin it down with apple cider vinegar. High fructose corn syrup is the main ingredient and that annoys me but I still buy it.

I was born and raised in St. Louis and Maull's was the BEST. It's tomato based but thinner and spicier than a lot of sauces. I consider it a mop sauce. Moved to Iowa almost 30 years ago and still haven't learned to live on bland food and wimpy sauces. For me the hardest part of moving to...

I'm looking for store bought or recipes for homemade. What's your favorite?

Good idea! The prices on some of those presses are outrageous. The Weber burger press is around $15 and there's really not much to it; 2 pieces of plastic. This idea is close enough to some of the commercial products that I'll give it a try and save some $$$. :)

That looks like my current burger press machine. :)

Do you have a burger press you recommend? I'm referring to the type that initially forms the raw patty, not the type that presses the patty to the grill while cooking.

Looks like a fairly nice, sunny day today. If I get outside early enough the ground will still be frozen. That will make it easier for my walker on the grassy areas. I'd like to walk down to the pond and do some fishing but I think I'll wait until after my first follow up visit to the doctor...

1 week into a 6 week recovery after my surgery and I could almost scream but I won't. I can't even hold my guitar yet so I can plink around. Maybe I should learn how to play the harmonica. I get up and move around every hour or so as ordered but I can't do any chores around the house except...

Very nice and handy I would imagine! Sometimes you just can't stick a rod holder in the dirt. These would work on my jon boat too. Thanks for sharing.

Timbo said, "Nice stuff, odd they didn't scream for handover as that would currently happen to me if I did that. But yes they'd also wait for over a week to schedule a meeting about it too." The boss said he was doing that intentionally but I don't know why. Glad Friday...

Not quite. I emailed my boss that I planned to resign and he said he wanted to meet with me first and would set up a meeting. I waited for a meeting for a week then sent him an email at 5 pm that that was my last day. He called me the next morning and said he wanted a 2 week notice and that I...
