Since it came up multiple times I will answer the question everyone asked: that was indeed the worlds largest pistachio.
Although, I have no way to verify that claim.
This is my review of Kneedeep Brewing No Seeds|No Stems Triple IPA:
One of everyone’s favorite topics of contention is identifying the objective standards put forth in determining what is in fact, the best hot sauce. It’s probably better than trying to figure out how your hot sauce is determinative of your sex life. I’m not going to take a position on this matter, other than to say the best is obviously Tapatio. Its a real product, made by real people, entertained by real Mariachis.
Whatever standard these are determined, whether it be the PPM count of vinegar, barrel aging, preference for habanero, its availability in an MRE (damn you Tabasco), or the fact you’re a nutcase that buys the green version of everything, we can at least agree what is being sold is genuine, right?
Wrong. Authenticity is paramount, to the point in this case the courts need to get involved.
They claim that because the products are labeled as “Texas Products” people are being tricked into buying Texas Pete.
“Defendant has cheated its way to a market-leading position in the $3 billion-dollar hot-sauce industry at the expense of law-abiding competitors and consumers nationwide who desire authentic Texas hot sauce and reasonably, but incorrectly, believe that is what they are getting when they purchase Texas Pete,” the suit reads.
This guy does have point. After all every chow hall I have had the um, “privilege” of eating had a bottle of Texas Pete at the table. Presumably due to the overwhelming number of Texans in the military. Plus every Texan that chose to engage in the best hot sauce ever litigation always defended Texas Pete as if it were a real Texas thing—though it is not. Quite frankly, the Texas Pete people have stated as such on their website:
Legend has it that, when Sam Garner and his three sons, Thad, Ralph and Harold, were trying to come up with a brand name for this spicy new sauce they had created, a marketing advisor suggested the name “Mexican Joe” to connote the piquant flavor reminiscent of the favorite foods of our neighbors to the south. “Nope!” said the patriarch of the Garner family. “It’s got to have an American name!” Sam suggested they move across the border to Texas, which also had a reputation for spicy cuisine. Then he glanced at son Harold, whose nickname was “Pete” and the Texas Pete cowboy was born.
It would appear they intended to lie about the origins from the beginning by misrepresenting it as Mexican. If not for my distaste for the frivolous nature of our loser pays civil court system leaving me no choice but hope they throw it out of court, I know which way I would rule.
Knee Deep Brewing created a genuine product with their No Seeds|No Stems Triple IPA as this beer contains neither seeds nor stems. Too bad though, it might have improved it a bit had they lead me to believe the fizzy blast of booze and bitter fruit followed by an almost nauseating aftertaste was a byproduct of trying to infuse it with cannabis. That said, it is exactly what it says it is and it is indeed an IPA. I had it when I finally got a free evening to watch the Beavis and Butthead reboot, so it seemed appropriate enough to be the only thing disappointing about the evening. 10% ABV, 90 IBU. Kneedeep Brewing No Seeds|No Stems Triple IPA: 2.0/5
There is no “best” hot sauce as if you enjoy the heat then you really need at least three types in your cupboard (not your fridge dammit!). But these guys produce some of the best stuff out there, particularly if you enjoy it very spicy. !Muy saborosa!
https://www.shopelyucateco.com/
Everything they make is great, but their Caribbean Habanero and the Kutbil-Ik XXXtra Hot are special and both pack plenty of heat.
Taco Bell Mild is the only hot sauce that’ll ever pass the test for a guy in the North Woods. I grow hot peppers but even my wife is complaining about the heat. She knows her hot sauce, as well.
Heheh, I actually really like the Taco Bell mild and hot sauces. But then again that is my favorite fast food joint. I get made fun of by my family plenty because of that. 2 tostadas, 2 regular crunchy tacos, and 2 soft tacos with a Coke is a great meal now and then.
A while back I used some boxes to pack things away. Step-son’s buddy worked at Taco Bell and gave us the boxes. Printed on the boxes: “Grade C Ground Beef But Fit for Human Consumption”
I make my own tacos.
Hot sauce: Tabasco for heat, Louisiana Hot sauce for pepper flavor. Also, grow and pickle your own Tabasco peppers for use on beans/peas etc.
It isn’t just about the hot, the pepper flavor is just as important. Habeneros are pretty damned good too in both departments.
*Make taco meat. Spoon onto a won-ton wrapper. Wet your finger and dampen the edges of the wrapper. Roll up lengthwise and twist ends like a tootsie roll wrapper. Deep fry at 350F for about 3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Dip in sour cream and picante sauce. They are worse than Doritoes. You won’t be able to stop eating them so make a bunch.
I think I put on five glorious pounds just reading the recipe.
Heheh, I don’t doubt your story. I will still eat T Bell 🔔 as it is good. But really we are talking 4-5 times a year. It isn’t Mexican food, it’s American fast food. If I want a real taco, there are dozens of great Mexican joints within a few miles.
Thanks for the recipe Suth, sounds delicious, will definitely try it out.
I used to like Taco Bell as a kid back when the restaurants had actual mission bells on the roof that high schoolers liked to steal. Fortunately there’s a lot more choices in Mexican food now.
Their sauce isn’t bad at all.
^This. I’m not big into a lot of heat but use the green chile habanero every morning on my eggs.
Tapito and Cholula live in my house but I agree, there is no “best” but there are some worst. La Victoria “hot sauce” comes to mind.
I have crushed, dried Chiltepin on hand. I use that on whatever needs a kick.
Tapatio forever!!!!!
Claro que sí.
Winston-Salem?! Git a rope.
Finally, a man of taste.
When I stopped in Rock Springs, Wyoming the other night, I picked up a six pack of Land Shark. Very good. Would drink again.
fizzy blast of booze and bitter fruit followed by an almost nauseating aftertaste
Hipster douchebags of the world, unite.
Crystal is the best cayenne pepper sauce and Salsa Huichol is the best Mexican/taco sauce. Glad to see its finally available in US stores.
After all every chow hall I have had the um, “privilege” of eating had a bottle of Texas Pete at the table.
Must be a recent development. Louisiana brand hot sauce was the prevalent one when I was in. First time I saw Texas Pete was at a Hampton Inn in Raleigh.
And Louisiana’s sister brand Red Rooster
https://www.reddit.com/r/spicy/comments/6r84hi/louisiana_hot_sauce_rebranded_as_red_rooster_for/
Maybe. I should note I was married and thus was not required to eat at the chow hall while stateside.
A lot of restaurants have stopped using Tabasco because shitheads steal it. Now it is cheaper stuff on the tables.
Hey, at least it’s not made in New York City.
Jinx, 🍻!
Jeebus you really took one for the team this week MS. That beer sounded like a disaster going in. I hope TPTB gave you hazard pay.
Um, about our legal system, it isn’t loser pays. Parties pay their own fees and costs unless there is a fee shifting statute applicable to their case.
Negative. TPTB payment structure like the court system is a cruel joke.
There’s a reason my contracts all have a loser pays provision. Because it’s the only way to get the bastards to make us whole after I whip their ass in court.
Minimizes frivolous lawsuits. All of our store leases were written with loser pays, makes both sides more honest.
You couldn’t just send a guy to break their legs?
On our ships there was always a pretty big variety on every condiment stand – Tapatio, Tabasco, Texas Pete, Sriracha, etc.
Good reminder – Cholula was common too.
New Tank-Man just dropped. (h/t ADV China)
Whoa. I only watched the first five minutes (video is over two hours long) but that took balls.
I should have clarified – the segment I’m referencing is only about 15 min long – should be starting from the link. The last hour is probably the casual chat they do on the podcast – they normally cut that chunk out the Monday after the Friday stream.
More funny clips of Chinese media stealing western tiktok footage to make war propaganda.
The Dude has balls.
I wonder if his heart, lungs and kidneys have already been sold.
In the “before times” El Tapatio was widely used in the shit shack. Buts since da Vid government overreaction screwed up the supply web it has been arriving only occasionally. Cholula is an acceptable replacement.
I have all the standards, but these days brooklyn delhi seems to find its way onto my plate most of the time
Not in this kitchen.
You all have successfully inspired me to clean out the old/empty condiments from the fridge door.
I find both Tapatio and Cholula vaguely disappointing. I prefer Tabasco, but Bro Dean gave me a monthly subscription to small batch/ hipster hot sauces that have been excellent, so I can’t really nominate a “best” one.
Speaking of spicy – who or what collateralizes a $100m size bond for a defendant?

Did you see the thing I linked last night? I recently got a 3D printer and printed the STL from your 3D series.
No. I’ll check it out. I know you are a machinist so I’m guessing it wasn’t awful for you to set up.
The CAD/CAM side of things are pretty straightforward for me, but all the print settings are whole new world. haha. Honestly, I think I got a bit lucky that things just worked from the get-go. I still have some dialing in to do, but I’ve been getting perfectly usable prints. And the vast majority of projects I will be doing will be functional, so I’m not too concerned if things don’t look quite as good as they could.

I have heard that it was Sanford and not Mount Dora.
Mount Dora make more sense, though. At the time the novel was written, Sanford was home to a Naval Air Station that housed nuclear strike aircraft. So in an all-out Soviet attack, it (along with the SAC base that became Orlando International Airport) would likely have been flattened, while the relatively isolated and idyllic artists’ colony of Mount Dory would escape with little relative harm.

We get this Pedderdoux sauce from the Irish pub we go to. Not really a hot sauce, more a pepper sauce. It is heavenly. Billed as French Louisiana Pepper Sauce
Best hot sauce ever….dammit, I cant remember the name. It is right on the tip of my tongue. Small batch stuff, photo of a hummingbird on the label, mediumish hot on par with Tabasco, excellent pepper flavor. Made in Elton, Louisiana. I Called the guy up and ordered a case and requested a tour. A week later he sold the brand to Southeastern Mills in New Iberia. Those dummies fazed out the brand. They could have swept the market with that stuff.
Sounds great. I cannot get this sauce outside the pub. All internet searches show out of stock.
Southeastern Mills must be rolling up hot sauces. They bought Louisiana brand from Bruce Foods a couple of years ago.
President Fixit
“Bringing down elevated inflation remains President Biden’s top economic priority, even as we know the Federal Reserve plays the primary role in maintaining stable prices,” Yellen said.
Printing press go BRRRRRR.
All hands on deck to circle the wagons that anything negative is everyone else’s fault and anything remotely good is all the presidents doing.
I give us 3.5 years before the US is no more
The word ‘inflation’ means inflating the money supply, thus making dollars worth less. Price numbers go up to keep pace.
Maintaining stable prices….who the fuck do these people think they are fooling? Jeebus.
Everything these leftist fucktards are doing is designed to destroy our economy, culture and western civilization in general. It is planned, deliberate and done with malice.
Are we going to end up having to shoot them?
Hazelnut has to be my favorite nut. Brazil nut not far behind.
Apparently you have never had a small pecan, the ones highest in oil and flavor. I pity you. I pity you.
I like pecans too..actually I like all nuts. Just those are my favorites
The little pecans are wild. The commercial ones are large and thin shelled but not nearly as good.
Now that I think of it…wild hickory and black walnuts are damned good also but a lot of work. I had an uncle that spent a couple of weeks every year picking out hickory nuts and made a cake with them. My god that was good stuff.
Most black walnut was cut and used for gun stocks in WWII. Nobody except someone you know plants them because “Why? I aint never gonna see nuthin out of that.”. Pecan as well but twice that many.
My grandchildren will see it. That is all that matters to me. I have planted about 5K of them. some are over 20 feet tall now. Mature they will be worth millions.
I envy your pecan privilege. And satsumas. Ones from CA aren’t nearly as good. The place we used to get them from stopped after the storm last year or year before that tore up their orchard and covid related supply issues put a nail on it.
Blood oranges Brother. Blood oranges. Try one and you will never go back.
I squeeze them and make ice cubes with them. Mrs. Suthenboy get a bit testy if I let them run out.
Best citrus ever, and not by a little bit.
We always call the little ones “seedling” pecans – the ones that are wild, or volunteer from fallen ones. And yeah, they are (or are at least closer to) the wild version. The others are all Stuarts or Sumners or an old version called Manan with really long nuts. The little seedlings do have the best flavor and are the best ones for pies, etc.
“Now that I think of it…wild hickory and black walnuts are damned good also but a lot of work.”
Especially the walnuts, so I hear. The Shagbark Hickory in my backyard produced zero nuts this year, which is highly disappointing. Especially for the local squirrels and chipmunks who will be having a difficult spring. I will gather a bunch of walnuts tomorrow from the tree two blocks down and give them a try, I hear they are worth the effort.
Grab a hammer and watch your fingers.
Hrm. Hazelnut. I am sure I’ve had one. I can’t remember if I like it or not. Hard to dislike a nut. I’ve also never knowingly had a Brazil nut. I’m quite certain that I’ve never eaten a peach as a hand fruit. Peaches, sure, but from a can or something.
I need to think of a fun essay to put out to my readership by Tuesday. I should get on that. It won’t be about nuts, but it will be written by one.
I’ve got a bunch of different nuts and seeds in the pantry.
And nut butters.
Mine is the only nut named for a Scotsman.
I always associated them with Hawaii, but South Africa has been the world leader in production for the last decade, followed by Queensland, Australia.
I tried planting some of those. Dammit. They won’t grow here.

Frank’s RedHot was the standard where I grew up. You rarely even saw another brand. Now even the shitty little halal grocery store across the street has a dozen different brands – I was just there so I checked. Picked up ¡Sabor! Texas Pete “Mexican Style” – we’ll see how that goes. I suppose I can try a different one every few trips.
I love Frank’s, though. Have it almost every day on my eggs.
The only correct hot sauce for Buffalo wings.
Soo is Frank’s a hot sauce or Buffalo sauce?
Both. And made in Colombia now.
Sorry, that’s Trappey’s made there now. I get those two brands mixed up.
Hot sauce. Combine with butter (and a dash of molasses) for hot wings
Wing sauce is just Frank’s with butter. But yeah, they sell a “Buffalo” version too.
Yeah, Frank’s is good. I kept buying it for years even when I noticed there was more variety now.
My brother got me on to Frank’s on pizza. It’s really good.

You watched Chainsaw Man yet? Saw a lot on twitter about that manga over the last couple years – prob gonna pick up vol 1 next month.
Season 2 (or S1 part 2) of Spy x Family is looking good so far too.
I have chainsaw man on my list, but usually that genre isn’t my thing. I’ll still likely try the first episode.
I’ve been enjoying Spy x Family. Took me to Episode 3, but everybody loved it so much I persevered and was happy I did.
Surprisingly graphic/bloody – at least for what I assume is the “target audience” – more than Maid War – but doesn’t really feel as dark as something like Dorohedoro.

I’m not following you. Saban is a .800 coach…he is definitely one of the three greatest college coaches of all time. Why the anecdata?
Just remembering the 2011 loss to LSU and the Kick Six in ’13. You coach enough games, you lose a few close ones.
The other team had something to do with it, of course.

Greetings from the 2020 USPSA Race Gun Nationals (still ongoing)!
We have been very successful at getting our squads through the sage on time… except for the lady’s super squad. So, so chatty. The eye candy here is overwhelmingly of the wholesome type, and I’ve never seen a female shooter dressed in skintight clothing that couldn’t wear it successfully (unlike RenFaire women *shudders*). There was one shooter who I kid you not, looked EXACTLY like an anime ninja girl, down to the knee socks.
I got really lucky my first Nats getting paired with really excellent CROs. This year, not so much. Just to let you know how much of an asshole he is, his income comes from being a Sharepoint consultant. I am sharing a bay with the genius who designed the stages for the NYS Championship (Jay Tovey) so that’s nice. The new hotness seems to be double-tapping the activator poppers in order to make them fall faster. Having seen squads that try that, and other squads that engage an additional target while it’s falling, the technique doesn’t actually save any time, but since the top shooters are all going with the “make it fall faster!” lines everyone will think that it’s a Secret Technique that make you go faster when the truth is the reason they’re faster is that they’re just so much better than everyone else.
Time travelling is more of my thing.
Would you like a jelly baby?
Grab your 9mm AR or AK and join in the fun!
Sir, I have a Scorpion.
That works.
At some point I will finish the article about why Practical Shooting is the bestest sport ever.
Please tell me your squad has all matching Glibs jerseys.
I was the only Glib in my squad, but I did wear my jersey.
The Glibs logo looks excellent on the back of Techwear’s Gasden Rush polo.
This is excellent.
Somewhere in the media library I’ve got pictures of it.
“I’ve never seen a female shooter dressed in skintight clothing that couldn’t wear it successfully[…]There was one shooter who I kid you not, looked EXACTLY like an anime ninja girl, down to the knee socks”
Go do some extracurricular skeet shooting.
I can’t find any picture of her online, alas. REALLY impressive though.
Here I thought it was just Tulsi doing photo shoots like that.
Sharepoint consultant? Is there any way you could arrange a small accident?
I should do Nats next year…
It’d have to be offsite, I’d hate to get a rep for running an unsafe stage.
On that note, apparently CO Nats was a shitshow RO-wise, with people hanging the WRONG targets and an unreasonably large percentage of the competitors given reshoots. Also they hung IPSC targets upside down. This match has been better from my limited vantage point, though someone got DQ’d from the staff match for NDing while holstered. The stagrs this year are more interesting than the last one I shot. I didn’t do as well as I usually do, and I don’t know if it was me sucking or because these stages are more challenging than I’m used to.
I’ve also seen some really great RM calls, like the guy who insisted that the double on the target was really triple. There are also these little round beetles (like ladybugs, only dark brown) that are about 8mm across. You know how funny it would be if one of them got scored as a hit? The answer is, not funny at all.
If I was on the jury, I wouldn’t convict…

Did you know Republicans are extreme when it comes to abortion? Because they are. Extreme that is. So very, extremely extreme.
Not wanting to kill 6 month old babies is extreme.
The Dem candidates are all reading from the same playbook, aren’t they.
The actors in the commercials are certainly reading from the same script.
I am reminded every day. That and how prevalent rape must be in this state.
Extremely.
Trying to watch the USC – Utah game. The officiating is incredibly bad.
Bro, don’t give me none of your aggravation,
I’ve had it with your seconding.
Saturday night’s alright for Firsting,
I’ll get a little action in.

I want to congratulate MS on an article so strong it bumped the links.
How to undermine your cause in one easy step.

I’m a vegetarian and I hate these people.
They suffer from affluenza, as someone pointed out.
Didn’t anyone ever tell them there are kids starving in Africa?
Wish their parents would whip them.
Now every hard tackle is a penalty.
How long until they just give up and switch to flag football?
Give it 10 years.
Try the next NFL Pro Bowl.
I make a point of never watching the Pro Bowl. I suspect it’s about as exciting and meaningful as the pre-All Star Game “Home Run Derby” (AKA “batting practice.”)
For now we can watch them flag every play where a defenseman actually does his job.
She Hulk decided to basically tell Marvel fans to fuck off during their finale in a fourth-wall breaking scene.
This was written presumably months ago, well before there was any real fan reaction. It’s almost as if, as many have observed, the creators and writers of these woke shows know full well that they are going to get relentlessly mocked for the absolute shit they’re producing and go ahead, anyway. It’s almost as if they hide their complete lack of talent behind “controversy,” baiting some people who probably don’t even watch the property in question to defend it on reflex just because it is intentionally political.
Does anyone really think that Marvel was marketing this shit to 30-40 year old women who typically watch sitcoms? Does anyone really think that’s an audience you are going to get into comic book shows/movies?
I understand all the bullshit. It’s all been harped on to death. What I don’t get is the end game here. Are these people really SO fucking delusional that they think mocking their own fanbases and putting out products they hate is a good long term strategy? Marvel is dying, but it isn’t because of the long predicted Marvel fatigue. It’s because they’ve lost all sense of what actually allowed them to succeed.
But is it?
I don’t watch any of that stuff, but it seems like there’s no end to it.
There’s a lot of ruin in a multi-billion dollar company.
Yes. The numbers actually watching on Disney+ are dwindling. The box office numbers are disappointing. And the shit is so expensive to make, it doesn’t take too many flops to die.
The funny thing is that all of these characters/shows they are bringing in existed successfully and sold to comic book fans in their original form. It isn’t the “diversity” that is dooming them. Comic fans will watch female super hero bullshit. But when you are making content that isn’t just aimed at different demographics, at least superficially, but which actively mocks and shits on your long time fans, there is a breaking point.
It’s even funnier because Disney/Marvel waited until almost the end stages to start bringing in their minority and female characters from the comics and showcasing them. It isn’t the fans who wouldn’t have showed up for a Black Panther made in 2014, or who waited to make Captain Marvel. It was the same bunch of clowns who are making the decisions now, the ones all too proud of themselves for how enlightened they are for doing it now. It’s sort of like the MeToo thing. Hollywood is convinced the rest of us are just sexist racists because, well, they are sexist racists and deviants.
She is strong and brave, which is the most important thing. It’s not the writers fault if the stupid audience doesn’t appreciate it.
Somehow, Marvel fans have kept the character of She-Hulk around in comic form for decades, despite being such raging misogynistic sexists.
My buddy had this She-Hulk poster in his room in, like, 1986

I’m sure he was just biding his time, waiting for the right time to reveal his hatred of She-Hulk.
I miss this style of art, women are made to look so beautiful, and I suppose the ripped AF guys give something for the other sex to look at as well.
The Critical Drinker covered this in his last video. Nerdrotic is on board with you too.
I am working with some people from Marvel on developing a Firster comic book series and movie. They really like my story of Firsting and I think it’s going to be huge. I told them about you, and they seem on board with giving you a bit part in the movie. If it becomes official, you’ll be the first to know!
Noticed that Google Maps is getting onboard with the sweater wearing. Selecting the “eco friendly”(fuel efficient) route over direct/quickest route AND rather than allowing the faster route to just be selected, pops up a box about how much more efficient their chosen route is.
I noticed that recently. Their preferred route (1 minute faster) but eco-friendly, was not, in fact, faster. It was a 2-lane highway as opposed to the other route which had 4 lanes half the way to the destination.
Yup, they’re been busy breaking their second most popular feature. I have been suggested routes that are both longer in time AND cost me tolls.
WTF mates.
Our Babylon Bee mole is at it again.

Big thanks for sexy Tonio for hosting tonight and extra thanks for coming to my defense. I love you, ya great big fag. Smooches!
This is not becoming of a Firster. I can only set the example for you so much, Festus. The Great firster grows weary.
Fear not, Friend Bro. I still remain fond of you.
Is it too late to nominate Minnesoda’s “hot” sauce?
My wife eats that tomato sauce.
Not any peeps around at 2:30 CST?
Sleep is for the weak!
Sleep is for everyone.
Don’t say you can’t.
Waiting in the Richmond Airport for a flight to NOLA. Hoping I can stay unmurdered there till I leave Thurs night.
Internal server errors ate my shorts.

My ear worn today. You’re welcome.
DAMMIT
EAR WORM
It could be wearing out your ears as well, depending on how loud you play it…
Here you go
My husband has what I thought was an epic and well-deserved hangover, but this is like day two of it and he still feels like hammered dogshit.
I am not sure how to proceed, but I think I’ll let him nap a bit now and possibly drag his ass to Urgent Care if he isn’t better by dawn.
😕
Hope he’s alright- getting old sucks. I can’t drink like i used to. Food and water eventually is the cure.
I was about 50 when I finally learned the cause of the hangovers. Haven’t had one since. The things we learn along life’s journey…
Mornin peeps.
Fuck Joe Biden.
Of course!!
The fact that my workplace is legally required to put his stupid face up on all the administrative buildings, along with the dipshit secretary of energy, is infuriating, so I proudly sport my Let’s Go Brandon magnet/bumper sticker every day.
The security guards like it.
When I worked in government space I displayed my “Government” desk demotivator.
Did the government send you oversized pictures of the two the way the did at OBE’s workplace?

Super spreader event.
Good grief. Journalism is dead.
What do they mean ‘since’?
This is still an emergency, people.
Holy shit.

They do like meat in Uruguay.
I bet people are delicious.
But do we taste like chicken?
I assume like pork. Put some rosemary, garlic and slather with oil… roast up some nice leg o’ lad. Yum. /I assume
::imagines foodie Glibs debating the relative merits of leg o’ lad vs leg o’ lady and describing best sous vide techniques::
It’s pork.
Long story short, I boiled my first husband’s amputated (work accident) at his request so he could make the bone into jewelry (I mentioned he’s my EX).
Anyway, it was definitely pork scented.
I became an involuntary vegetarian for about a month.
Then filed for divorce.
Good morning, Shiny, hay, Sean, RoaT, Lack, and Fishy!
I wish Big Dumb-But-Sweet Cat wouldn’t decide he needs lap time when I wake up with my leg sore. 😣😺 Thankfully, he has a much shorter attention span than Little Black Cat.
‘Morning GT. How was payroll?
Payroll was fine, thanks, and I THINK they’ve fixed the latest problem of updated Vacation balances not flowing from the payroll program to the timekeeping program. ::knocks wood vigorously::
…AAAAAAND now it’s LBC’s turn. At least he doesn’t weigh nearly as much as BDBSC, but he’s liable to stay put all morning. 🙄🐱👤
Sunday mornin’ comin’ down
Coffee, fire going, Glibs in the morning, does life get any better?
I don’t see how it could possibly get better unless your favorite Glibs are with you in person! 😃
Good morning, 4(20)!
Tiled about 30 sq feet of wall with a nice arabesque yesterday, need to dot he last ~10sq ft today. Also need to go to baptismal class in about 2 hours. Wish I could have just got it over with this AM. Guess I will wait till evening.
The question becomes… do I let people use the stove today?
Use it as a cheap, tawdry excuse to grill outside (weather permitting?)
I’ve got four porterhouses to grill today.
#steak
@GT, that is a nice idea.
@Sean
My meat budget isn’t that big. I might do some chicken satay?
I bought some metal skewers and want to try them out.
Also need to go to baptismal class in about 2 hours.
On the bright side, you’re not becoming a Jew and getting your dick snipped.
The idiot docs already did that for me.
No, it is for my son.
