Boo

My head was all over the place when I hopped on the Train. Veteran quitters showed me the way. I am forever grateful and indebted to all the folks who took time to show greenhorn Boo how it's done. Now that I'm one of the veterans, I try to be a steady hand on the wheel for folks just starting out. The veterans help the greenhorns. The greenhorns energize the veterans. It's a symbiotic relationship we've got going here.

Getting all of my ducks in a row to start my next project. I'm building a small greenhouse on Boo Acres. I already have more than enough cedar to frame up the house. Yesterday, I picked up a truckload of old windows from a friend of mine that flips houses. All the windows cost me was a case of Yuengling beer...a good deal. We're starting small and learning on the fly, but becoming increasingly food independent is more important now than ever.

Mindset is everything. Once you commit, really commit, to never smoking again you find the way. Godspeed Kdad.

It's Strawberry Festival time folks...

Perusing an online article with 77 recipes you can put together using strawberries. The Tennessee Strawberry Festival is underway here in my neck of the woods. We've got a parade. We've got live music. We've got a classic car show. We've got a "distinguished young woman" pageant. We've got vendors selling arts and crafts. And of course, we've got strawberries for days. If you're in the neighborhood, swing by and say hey.

Great job Denali. Congratulations.

Congratulations Steven. Prepare the Lido Deck. We've got one coming in hot.

Ensnared by my own stupid prank. I find it amusing to annoy my wife and friends by playing really stupid songs. It's all fun and games until you get one of those stupid songs stuck in your head. And that's where I find myself now...BA-NANA!

Contemplating the fact that I was guilty of two of the seven deadly sins tonight, and that was just at suppertime. I grilled Korean Barbecue for the first time tonight. Took a brisket, sliced it paper thin, and made Bulgogi. So long as I'm bragging about my culinary skills, I also made the marinade and Ssamjang sauce myself. I take pride in how well my barbecue turned out and gluttony was bound to ensue.

Present and accounted for.

Great job Sunnyside. Keep on keeping on...

Condolences to you and yours Yoda. The ones we loved and lost live on through us.

Great job Yoda.

I need to learn the lyrics to this song or really get my whistling game on-point. Johnny Knoxville and Roger Alan Wade played this song last week as a palate cleanser. It's been in my head ever since and I played it for Maddie and Jackson tonight.
