Bobby's Floridian filter is what makes the coffee weak.
Depends are just too thick.
Temp is rising to a balmy plus 5 Celsius today.
Thanks for the bloatmeal Bobbydependable!

I didn't know Mickey met his maker that way.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Nebraska...
Cletus is passing by Billy Bob 's hay barn one day when, through a gap in the door, he sees Billy Bob doing a slow and sensual striptease in front of an old John Deere tractor.
Buttocks clenched, he performs a slow pirouette, and gently slides off first the right strap of his overalls, followed by the left. He then hunches his
shoulders forward and in a classic striptease move, lets his overalls fall down to his hips, revealing a torn and frayed plaid shirt.
Then, grabbing both sides of his shirt, he rips it apart to reveal his stained T-shirt underneath. With a final flourish, he tears the T-shirt from his body, and hurls his baseball cap onto a pile of hay.
Having seen enough, Cletus rushes in and says, "What the world're ya doing, Billy Bob ?"
"Good grief, Cletus, ya scared the bejeebers out of me," says an obviously embarrassed Billy Bob ..
"But me 'n the wife been havin trouble lately in the bedroom d'partment, and the therapist suggested I do something sexy to a tractor."
(Don't make me come splain this to you educated folks!
Read the last line again, slowly)

Ah yes, another public education pun.
Never tell a pun to a kleptomaniac. They will take it, literally.

Happy Sunday all y'all. It is good to see we are all up to our normal level of dysfunction. It is a beautiful day on the edge of the prairies. We have had about a week of continuous daytime temperatures above freezing. It is dropping slightly below freezing every night. This is all good. There is so much snow that if it got really hot and stayed above freezing at night we would be having issues with overland flooding. The ground is still frozen and will be for a while yet so the melt water has to run to low spots instead of soaking into the ground.
My to-do list for the day involves tightening a squealing power steering belt on my Echo. The job stupid. To get to the PS pump you have to jack up the car, remove right front wheel and then remove a bunch of wheel well liner stuff. That take most of an hour. Then you spend 1 minute tightening the belt and another 45 mins or so putting everything back together. Geeze Louise. Now you can understand why I have been putting the job off for a month.
Have a good day everyone, play safe all y'all.

Happy birthday Justin - hopefully the world treats you well today.
DW and I are excited about dinner for the first time in a while. We have been very uninspired in the food dept for a while. Hopefully we will break out of our slump tonight. We have a pork loin roast marinating in bourbon, Dijon mustard, soy, Worchestershire sauce and brown sugar. Just before cooking it gets a nice spice rub and then smoke cooked in cherry wood smoke. I hope it ends up as good as the recipe sounds.

Thanks for the breakroom Bob and the history Scott, howdy RRone and Claude,
Yes and no. It was on 02-26-14 at 6:42 PM on the day before your DOT physical and apparently I was more bored than you were to even remember it.
I saw a show on that awhile back. His partner was behind his murder but it took them many years to figure it out. Sad stuff.
Boo,,,Hiss,,,
Nice seeing you! Got eight pounds of Landjaeger from Wisconsin River Meats in the mail. With shipping it came to over $10 bucks a pound but it was worth it.
Happy Birthday! Get something good when you get off work. Eat a whole pizza or something.
Did you tunnel out yet?
Maybe rest up that body of yours a little?
Ripping down the suspended ceiling in the upstairs. It was installed originally in 1977. They sure did hide a lot of poor construction behind it but now I know were some of the drafts have been coming from.
