Ate the last of the turkey this morning (turkey hash). I'm so done with turkey, even chicken at this point :-)
Dug ourselves out of about 10" of snow Friday. No Black Friday shopping, I don't do that foolishness anymore. Today it is drizzeling rain, a nice sit at home and watch TV day.
Good week to all!
Save that hambone to make some really good soup! Ocasionall our Honey Baked has the hambones on sale after Holidays cheap. I usuall buy about 6 of them, and there usually id a pound of meat still on them.

Now that cold weather has settled in, I'm finding that I sit around and watch TV - and snack. When it gets dark around 4pm, it is just draining. I need some motivation and new hobbies. I like to cook, but there is only my wife and I now, and she is not that adventurous as I. Just made son corned venison that turned out great. She won't touch it, so I'll just share it with my brother (who got the deer) and entice our sone who is adventurous.
Today we are going on a road trip about an hour away. Place called Granpa's Cheese Barn. Yes, the stuff to do struggle is real :-)
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Got the last cut of the season for the lawn last week. Still have to pull out the old tomatoe plants and a few things around the yard. Swapped out the rakes for snow shovels. Yuk.
Browns - Steelers game today. It has always been a rivalry, but what is making the news around here is the going price of tickets. They are going as low as $6.00 
Edit: Ravens, not Steelers. My sports ignorance is shining through :-)

I was up early, but didn't have anything to post, so I waited for Don to :-)
Totally forgot Tuesday is Veterans Day. My dad was in the Navy during WWII. He didn't talk much about it ecxept he hated the reconstituted powdered eggs, and that by the timing of gunfire was relative to how close planes were to the ship, and eating iguanna in the Philippines.

Embracing the extra hour of sleep. Early darkness not so much.
Hope fully get the grass cut tomorrow, possibly the last for the season.
Great week to all!

The nice weather streak is officially over for our area. I hired an apprentice from work to scrape another side of the house and then painted it myself. I think I'm all done and will get to another side next year. Somewhere down the line I will spend the money and get it sided. Ladders beyond 6' are not a good idea for me :-) Cooler temps and rain in for forcast with only a break next Friday. That may be a grass cutting day. Pool is covered and pump/filter and all supporting stuff put away in shed.
I even got some garlic planted, going to try my hand at that.
A nice productive week!
Good week to all.

Going to a clambake fund raiser today. There is going to be way too much food, and obviously from my recent weigh-ins, I am not eating resposibly. I'm having a hard time with it. I have a check up with my PCP in two weeks. Time for a discussion.
Good Week To All!

Everyday IS coffee day, very truw! Mostly decaff since my WLS, but ocasional cup of the real stuff when I need a pick me up.
I need to start checking what I am eating as weight is starting to creep up, and I can't keep blaming meds.
Good weather here, so some yard work will be enjoyed!

Nothing new. Got yardwork done. Weather is comfortably cool, and I think pool season is over.
Pool closinf and opening are two seasonal things that suck. Up North here pool season is about two and a half monts, three at best even with a heater. Within the next week or two I'll have to vacuum the pool, clobber it with chemicals, remove the pump and filter, disconnect the heater and haul that stuff to the shed. Then winter cover and then leaf net. OK, it's not really that bad, but it still sucks :-)
Finally found someone to hire to paint the house. A friend who is on vacation next week took my generous offer. He had several rental properties that I know he did a lot of maintenace on, so I know he will do good work. Also the reason I offered much more per hour that I would of to the non existant neighbor kids who would like to earn some cash.
Good week to all!

Yesterday was a day at the Cleveland Air Show. All cool stuff, but absolutley love the jets and especially the Thunderbirds! Many years ago when I was an apprentice, I got to work at the hangar where they had the planes before each show. Up close and personal with the crew. I've been a fan ever since.
Today In laws over for a rib cook out and picnic. It's a beautiful weekend for northern Ohio.
Good week to all!
I'm hoping to find that person!
Your refrigerator sound like ours. 2 year old LG needed a new compressorlast fall. From what I read, they replace it with the same compressor that has known problems.
I have an old GE refrigerator from late 40's early 50's in my garage that is still running!

Man has this summer flown by. Hard to think that next week is Labor Day weekend already. House is in need of painting. I have one side scraped (did that in June) but have been putting it off. I can't find a single high school or college kid that wants to earn some extra money. I may have to settle doing it myself, and just the scraped side this year.
Cooler weather here, so that may motivate me :-)

A better week also.
The dog days of Summer are here. Doing yard work can be brutal, but usually gives satisfaction on the scale at least for a day or two :-)

Finally two days in a row with no rain, but side yard still too wet to cut (and it's Father's Day) Tomorrow is supposed to be dry, so I'll be cutting two weeks worth of growth.
Temperatures still way below normal. Todays high will be 71. This is the latest we have not been able to use the pool since we've had one.
Happy Father's Day to all!
