Jim, should have went "rubber neck'n" You could of asked the truck drivers to do their "washout" on your spillway.

Jim, They just poured a foundation 1/2 mile down the road from us. This is the first new neighbor in twenty years. The closest neighbor (.7 mile away) moved five years ago so now we will be back up to our population quota.

For plant based fat free (a.k.a. heart healthy)-
Sixdogs and Pacerron, here is the
Gravy recipe:

15 oz can of navy beans, drained/rinsed
1/4 to 1/2 cup vegetable broth
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cajun seasoning
1/4 tsp black pepper
a few drops of liquid smoke
(don't make too thick)
combine all in blender then heat in sauce pan.

Biscuits

1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
enough applesauce to moisten mixture

(optional spice - whatever you prefer - we use 2 tbsp rosemary/garlic mixture)

400˚ 13 minutes

Thanks to Lindsay Nixon for the base recipes.

Jim,
Did you add Brandi-Shade to your new tank?

Usually Bing is more current but in your case way behind Google maps in date unless your tanks both sprung a big leak..

It got down to 52 here last night..
Guess I will wrap my pipes when I get back..
Summer over:


When life was simple?

Running barefooted in the summer time
Stickers and hot sand didn't stand a change
Summer would end with a blast of cool wind

Then Fall with cold air
Jacket was all you would need
Put those shoes on before you leave

I don't want you getting sick
You never doubted it wasn稚 so
But you always got a runny nose

Winter you didn't need to be told
Those shoes were the first thing hit the floor
Wishing you had two pairs of socks or more

Breaking icicles off the edge of the roof
Knowing spring is on the way
You saw green grass today

Put that old jacket back in it place
Summer time and those shoes are off
Those stickers hurt and that sand is hot

Can you remember?
Lou

Sorry,, it was my mistake I forgot to carry the two,, minus the four.. multiply by six and add the eight.. then it came out correct.. how could I made a mistake like that after all of these year? :confused3ld age I guess,, this is Monday isn't it? Lou..

Lou,
I'm not sure what day it is. We worked Sunday night to have more days off for the Holidays. So I've been a day off all week.

I think your math has an error in it. You forgot to add two ferrets, subtract one cat, divide by one dog......and multiply by 20 odd catfish. Then there's the henweigh situation.
hugs, Brandi

bindian, She will love $.10/ hr. On all the catering gigs I've taken her on she worked for free. She makes a pretty good hand.

Charlie,
You got it wrong. You get $.10/ hr. She'll get $.15/hr.
hugs, Brandi

I live on a dead-end road, so anytime I see trucks or equipment coming by my house, they are always going to one of my neighbors. Yesterday, my wife saw several crews in pickups pulling trailers go by. Then, about an hour later I started seeing redi-mix trucks, 6 total. Somebody is pouring a new foundation, I think. I hate to go rubber necking up and down the road, but I'm always curious when there is building activity around. Out of 32 residences in this development, only 10 are built structures with foundations. The rest are all mobile homes. Anytime someone builds a shop or home, it's a big deal.

Cement Ponds to catch all the runoff to your ponds.

Lou,
Before you go off to Vegas.....
Have you ever had a paint with white sclera eyes where the white part was laced with color in some areas?
We were trimming hooves yesterday, She trims, I hold the rope, and I, as usual make a remark about the horse having
funny coloration in the back side of her eye. It is white but strewn with lines and spots of brown pigment. At normal distance it reminds me of a growth or something but is smooth and not projecting.
My wife brought it up this morning, as I must have caused her to worry about it.
I gotta learn to keep my mouth shut on her animal things.
From what I see on the net it is probably normal for paints, Apps, and some other breeds.
When the snow stops I may try to get a closeup picture. Meanwhile, it's time to eat.

Brandi-shade???:confused3: Do you mean the aqua-green dye? The green in that photo you posted is because of one little bag of fertilizer. The plankton went berserk. Can you say "over-fertilized" boys and girls? Anyhow, I drained/pumped all that water into the newer pond on the left and dug the first pond 4' deeper. That was then and this is now. It's never rained enough to collect over 4' deep since I dug it out more. That's why I think I dug just deep enough to expose the rain repellent.:confused2:

I think it's probably a company called Masonry Concepts Corp down the road from me. A fellow has built himself quite a business that he runs out of his 12 acre tract. He already has one big shop and a materials yard covering about 5 of the 12 acres.
