Man cave... every man should have one...

Man cave:

So...want...man...cave...pant-pant-pant

You stop by, brother. I guarantee you Wisconsin isn't all that different from Alaska, aside from the mountains. I'll give ya the tour on your way to S.C.

That's yours? I am impressed. If I head for the Carolinas, I'll plan a stop, if possible. I'd like to visit as many of my CS friends as possible.

Yup, that's my man cave out in the shop. Consider it an open invite, pard. If southern WI isn't too far north on your way to the Carolina's, absolutely stop by.

Have a Great Day Nosmo !

Thank you! There is pleasure in decadence! And that cake is real decadence, ain't it?

Only the very best for our Nosmo KIng !!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
NOSMO KING

Thanks Foxy! Behold! The poodle! Has there ever been a more chipper mutt?

Just look at that smile! Under bite and all.

Awesome drone. What do you do with it? Spy on people?

"Not yet," ...

It does have a camera, but I haven't flown it outside much because I don't want to crash it in the snow or on the hard ground. I'll find out what it's capable of this spring and take some video. It'll take pictures as well. I'll have to post some of that.

I finally broke down and called the VA yesterday to get an appointment set up to look into why my back has hurt so bad for so long. Enough is enough. I could even need back surgery, don't know. That's what we're going to need to find out. I'm sick of the pain.

Backaches suck. I hafta sleep in a recliner so my back is bent forward gently. My doc said it won't get better..it will only get worse. RA sucks, too. But I won't take their damn poisons either, so....sigh. I gotta deal with it. In your case...if it is constant pain, then I am glad you are going to have it checked out. Let us know what the doc says.

I sleep in my recliner about 80% of the time, Gracie. I just set the timer on the tv to shut it off, kick back in the chair and pass out. I generally sleep pretty well. I actually think I sleep better in the recliner than the bed. I'd like to get one of those Craftmatic beds that you can incline your head and/or legs. I think I'd sleep good on that.

Yeah back aches suck. I have an appointment with the VA on Mar. 3rd.

Woke up to find out that it is Thursday! Funny because it seems like just yesterday it was Wednesday. Mrs. BBD is going to go over to the neighbor's house and quilt all day. I'm going to the computer fix it up place to pick up my desktop Mac and mostly just laze around. Not much happening today. Maybe I will have another cup of coffee and consult with Taco to see how we can best waste the hours of this day. I saw the photo of the Gov's Palace in Williamsburg somebody had posted and suggested it was a man cave. Got a chuckle out of it.

Gov's mansion, wasn't the location, it was the decoration and why did you get a chuckle out of it?

End of the month, customer billing time.

Met a customer half way for a car delivery. Used a casino parking lot for the paperwork and exchange. The casino got $160 of my money (Mrs. Liberty helped) and we got a buffet. Felt like we lost.

I didn't lose power here, but did lose cable. That's alright though. I was very thankful to have kept electricity. Without electricity, no heat, and I would have had to either go to a relative's or friend's house or go to a shelter. Needless to say, I really didn't want to any of those things, so although it was boring with no television and no internet, I still had my music, my lights, my heat, my hot water.

Thanks for your concern Foxy! You are a sweetie!

Last summer I bought a big 9000KW generator. I'm planning on having my electrician buddy install what he calls a "transfer switch" on the pole where my service comes in, so that in the event I lose my power, I can pull the generator out by the pole, plug into the transfer switch, start the generator, throw the switch, and I'm back in power, for everything.

Have you priced transfer switches? Been thinking myself My 7,500 watt generator would handle most everything here but the AC and oven.

I asked my buddy one time and if my memory serves me, I think he told something like a couple hundred bucks.

Not horrible. That would beat finding all the extension cords in the dark.

Agree. Just one heavy gauge cable to plug in and light it up.

The switch I posted appears to need a plug in point and breakers, but at 99 bucks....

Good afternoon folks, I hope everyone is having a great Wednesday thus far. I am sitting down and enjoying a nice cup of tea before I try and finish my tasks for the day. I've been a busy-bee around here so I've earned a relaxing break with a cup of Constant Comment.

I LOVE Constant Comment For an every day inexpensive flavored tea, it is hard to beat.

I love Constant Comment myself. In fact, I almost went to work for Bigelow back in the day.

I'm also big on Earl Grey. Twinnings seems to have the best readily available in a supermarket.

I almost posted this in Sherry's Thread of Many Colors thread, but then thought naw, not the thing to do.

(Our younger Coffee Shoppers might not get this, but I bet anybody over 50 will.)

Edit: Ah found it:

Yes, start off flying low. It would be a shame if it broke.

My favorite breakfast, no matter the season, is cereal and milk. Anything else is a poor substitute.

I'm actually unhappy right now that we are out of cereal and milk, I haven't had my normal bowl for breakfast in 2 days and it makes me grumpy.

I'm a waffle guy. Lots of times when leaving Docs late, we will all stop at Waffle House for breakfast. The wife is steak and eggs, but my standard order is 2 waffles with bacon and 2 eggs over easy with lots of butter and syrup.
If I know I'll closing up with the crew, I'll put a bottle of real maple syrup in the truck before I head in.

After a week of heavy snow and cripplingly cold temperatures, we finally made it to the park for a walk yesterday. Daisy the Mutt took full advantage, running headlong into the plowed snow at the edge of the roads only to emerge caked in snow. Walking a miniature poodle in the snow is like dragging a Q-Tip through the snow. Gobs of the stuff the size of golf balls clung to her curly fur. Snow packed its way across every crevasse on her thirteen pound frame. And she enjoyed it thoroughly. All I could see was two dark eyes, a black tip of her nose and a pink tongue hanging from her smiling mouth.

When we got back in the car, she began chewing the snow off of herself the way a four year old eats an ice cream cone, with intensity and no regard for drips.

So, I consider her cleaned by frolic and frozen water. Tonight is dinner at Mom's. The whole family will be there. She is serving roast beef. Mom does not like meat. Not that she's a vegetarian, but the taste of beef or pork or mutton just turns her off. Consequently, she over cooks every cut of meat that comes across her threshold. All flavor, all juices and any semblance to tenderness must be eradicated by force of heat. I was in college when I discovered that roast beef actually has a flavor. I always used a vat of Worchestershire sauce to impart some taste to Mom's roast beef.

And so, the tradition continues tonight.

Tonight I am the mom everyone will be joining for dinner

My sons birthday today and a standing rib roast is on the menu. I love a house full of everyone, makes me miss the old days when I was needed on a daily basis. Now I just show off I still cook the best and can afford the most. An abundance food is the way to celebrate in my world

Today is my birthday too. That's why Mom is cooking dinner. I asked for coffee and cake, but my sins will be punished on the dinner plate

Happy B-Day!

Maybe you should have met your customer at a savings bank?

Happy B'day, Nosmo!

I like chicken fried chicken too, but in our southwestern culture it just wouldn't be kosher to have it for breakfast--it has to be a lunch or dinner entre.

And Hombre and I do enjoy the traditional guarden variety homemade breakfast of eggs, sausage and/or bacon, hash browns, toast, preserves or jelly, with a side of fruit or juice. And while we can't have chicken fried chicken for breakfast, it IS permissable to have those bacon and eggs for supper.

Hombre also makes great pancakes. And we can make breakfast burritos for any meal.

Pancakes, yessss! I love blueberry pancakes, but chocolate chip pancakes are pretty good too. I also made a big giant pancake in a pie plate with apples on the bottom one time. That was delicious. Didn't even need syrup.

Intriguing. Do you still have your recipe?

I got it offline. I've made it since though, following other recipes and it turns out basically the same. Just make sure to use an apple that can stand up to the cooking and doesn't turn into mush. I made one with MacIntosh apples, and it didn't really come out very good because the apples were too watery and mushy by the end of the cooking, which in turn effected the way the pancake came out. Here, this one sounds like a good recipe for it. I use brown sugar instead of maple syrup too.

Light and Fluffy Baked Apple Pancake Recipe - Grace Parisi Food Wine

Thanks. That does look yummy but it doesn't really meet qualifications as a PANcake to me. And looks like way more work than a simple apple cobbler that is also yummy and would taste similar.

The recipe I used wasn't as complicated, but I can't find it. Also, just peeling and slicing the apples is a lot of work. That's why I've only made it a few times at most, but if you have company or something. It looks really nice and is very tasty. I think I want to make it again soon. I have a bag of Red Delicious apples right now as a matter of fact!

20 bucks....

Woke up to find out that it is Thursday! Funny because it seems like just yesterday it was Wednesday. Mrs. BBD is going to go over to the neighbor's house and quilt all day. I'm going to the computer fix it up place to pick up my desktop Mac and mostly just laze around. Not much happening today. Maybe I will have another cup of coffee and consult with Taco to see how we can best waste the hours of this day. I saw the photo of the Gov's Palace in Williamsburg somebody had posted and suggested it was a man cave. Got a chuckle out of it.

Gov's mansion, wasn't the location, it was the decoration and why did you get a chuckle out of it?

That sure does look like the front room of the Gov's mansion in Williamsburg, VA to me. Been there many many times and it's exactly as I remember it.

Just went down and picked up my big old Mac desktop computer from the "We Can Fix It Up" shop. This baby is humming now. Wow. Just like new.
