It wasnt unexpected.  The unusual thing for us was to get such a long run of stability.

We can have the hottest summer's day follwed by the coldest of winter... all in the same day - at any time of year.  If the weather comes from the north, by the time it reaches us its heated off the hot continental interior... and if it comes from the south, there's nothing between us and Antarctica.

Wood supply status is officially "inadequate".  But its not yet that cold.

Reverse the weather directions...

and you live here.

Say what?

maybe DP's inbox was overwhelming full ?!?!?!


last night after running a low key 3 miler to stretch before Saturday morning's half marathon...I made chili for dolci's office chili contest....

3 - 32oz cans of whole peeled italian plum tomatoes
1 - 10oz can of tomato paste
2 - 10oz cans of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2.3 lbs of 85/15 ground beef
1 whole small yellow onion
about 2.5 bulbs of garlic
1.5oz package of dried pasilla peppers

soaked the pasilla peppers and the used the water to dilute the tomato paste
chopped and diced and then sauted the onions and garlic and then added the ground beef
seasoned that mixture with cayenne pepper and hot hungarian paprika
put the peeled tomatoes and chipotles with adobo in the crock pot
added the tomato paste/pasilla water
put the immersion blender in and brought to a preferable texture.
added onion powder, garlic powder, ancho powder, some dried & chopped jalapeno's, brown sugar and salt and stirred
added in the ground beef mixture and stirred

put the lid on the crock pot and let it go go go overnight...

this morning when it was checked on, the oil raised to the top ready to be skimmed off and then 1 32oz can of small red kidney beans can be added and VOILA!!!...since she works in the financial industry...we are jokingly calling it "Hot Commodity" chili.

sad that I can't it it till after Saturday morning's race....but tonight is a pre St. Patties day pub run fund raiser for breast cancer...so I get to run to drink beer to save boobies!

I get 2 or 3 emails a day to my email address from people responding to notification mails.

Phones...

I honestly don't see the need to constantly be 'connected', and if you do...figure out the damn technology.

morning, I do hope I am reaching the right thread . . .

today, bank, visiting and ALF, going to the church to see if they have someone with a housing/food need and already have some people back home looking for apartment and a person who is trained to take care of elderly people; yes those are my choices:

1.-Get her in an ALF[assisted living facility]
2.-Get someone appointed by local church to live with her, just room and board no $$$ or very little $
3.-Take her with me to Panama <her least favorite choice>

See ya later, gotta go get some coffee and cuban tostadas

Good thing you spelled it out.  Thinking something else...

Just got back to the hotel after dinner at one of our dealer's homes in Truckee, CA.

Amazing place. 



Here's an article on it: http://luxuryhomequarterly.com/ward-young-architects/

Clearly I'm not doing it right.

Too much work.

Too much to keep clean...  Too many things to keep breaking...

I seriouly think the only way you can go though life and not piss somebody off... is to be dead.

Some can even take issue with that:

Environmental issues with conventional burial

Each year, 22,500 cemeteries across the United States bury approximately:[2]
30 million board feet (70,000 m3) of hardwood caskets
90,272 tons of steel caskets
14,000 tons of steel vaults
2,700 tons of copper and bronze caskets
1,636,000 tons of reinforced concrete vaults
827,060 US gallons (3,130 m3) of embalming fluid, which usually includes formaldehyde.[3]
When formaldehyde is used for embalming, it breaks down, and the chemicals released into the ground after burial and ensuing decomposition are inert. The problems with the use of formaldehyde and its constituent components in natural burial are the exposure of mortuary workers to it[4] and the destruction of the decomposer microbes necessary for breakdown of the body in the soil.[5]

The fence company says that a 3.5' vinyl gate is going to cost $468 not including the hardware. The standard panels are about $48.00

The plan is to cut one of those down and use that for the gate.
