So, I get to Huntsville, and get a guided tour of NASA. Great stuff. Still pissed that my security bad was misnamed, though- Bad Roamy! No splodey for you!
Still, between being fed and given guided tours, I can’t really complain much. Next on the tour was the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.
Hey, Roamy, can I get a picture of Uranus?
I was really looking for planet Urmom.
Every time I look at Uranus I get a little stiff…
That's not a rocket in my pants. I'm just happy to see you.
Lots of cool shit there. Really good exhibit on the whole Apollo/Saturn V program. Like, the fecal matter collection bags. The sign on the exhibit (they only showed an empty bag) said the crap was returned for analysis. That sounds like a job for Wiser.

True fact:
Mrs. Cuffy doesn’t believe in space.
Space doesn’t believe in Mrs. Cuffy.
But I do.
At least I want to believe.
I believe in phlogiston and crystal spheres. I’m pretty sure Keplerism is just a passing fad.
Mrs. Cuffy is real, and she’s spectacular!
Oh, wait. I had that wrong.

No ‘splodey for me, XBrad? **puppeh eyes**
If you tape a fecal matter collection bag to Rosetta, I’ll find you some good splodey.
Will do. **grabs duct tape**
It was funny with the situation reversed, and you telling me all about the various missile systems and vehicles. I always kinda skipped over those.
Seriously, I think the coolest thing in the park was the Gamma Goat.

Also, sometimes they grow out of it. I did.
Well, he’s 15. He’s running out of “growing out of it” time.
You need the cavalry to ride to the rescue, PG?
Bathrooms scrubbed. Dusted. Laundry. Fluffed the couch. I’ve got to sweep and mop then I’m going for a run.
Fluffed the couch
I’d make a Hostage comment here, but Carin can easily kick my ass.
One thing that XBrad left out from the Space and Rocket Center was the warning sign on one display for those with heart conditions.
The graduation ceremony was awesome. Five hundred kids, principal did an impressive job of making it personal.
They started with a moment of silence for lives lost in Joplin, then they made special mention of Memorial Day and had the kids enlisting stand and then the vets stand for a standing ‘o’. Then he went on to talk about this class and various individuals. Theme was perseverance. Mentioned Randy Pausch and his last lecture – ‘brick walls are not there to keep you out, they are there to see how badly you want something’. Excellent.
Not sure if anyone from my family showed up.
Sounds great, beasn! The Randy Pausch lecture is a good one.
If your family didn’t show up, it’s their loss.
Roamy, did you make mini-me’s bday cake or did you have it made?
*waits for pictures*
Beasn, I am going to make the cake after church today. I was going to make it last night, but I was tired.
Lots to do today. I still need to tell my dad this, but I was selected for a Spaceflight Awareness award to go see the rollout of STS-135 and the STS-134 landing. I get to bring one guest over the age of 12 with me, so that will be Rocketboy. I think it’s a silly name for the award, because if you are working at NASA, you ought to be pretty aware that there’s space flight going on. Nevertheless, it’s a very nice recognition for a part-timer and troublemaker like me.
I’m going to be scarce around here for the next week, and I’d like someone to volunteer to do HHD this week, please.
I counted all the laudes and 102 out of 500 kids were honored thusly. 3.8 gpa and above. Not bad.
HAHAHAHA…..when I came downstairs after getting ready, the son looked at me hard and said, “Did you put stuff on your eyes? Dad, mom did something to her eyes.”
I start laughing and then he says, “It makes you look like a girl. You better not dye your hair or I will really freak out.”
Wiserghey would LUV to do HHD for you.
Let me be among the first to say that all you H2 wimmens look beautiful this morning.

They’re the “Fun Ships” — your kids would have a blast, plus they hang out with their new buddies at the kids’ groups and Mom and Dad can do their own thing.
Chief, it’s a commemorative swizzle stick!

Garden got about 300 sq feet bigger though, so we should have plenty of terrible tasting vegetables to eat in a few months.

I shoulda skipped the gym. I wasn’t fully recovered from last time. Also found out they’re open tomorrow from 8-3, so I could have gone, but I have to leave for the Tigers game at 10.
Oh well.

Leon here is the question: What would car in do?
She’d have gone for a run anyhow, then lamented how poorly it went. I just did a light day to stay strong and pounded back some food (less than I’d have eaten at a cookout) and took a nap. Then I lamented.
We’re under a tornado watch until 8. I’m in the ghetto bar. This place is bullet-proof.
Beans, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, a bunch of different greens probably some squash, basil and perhaps some strawberry.
Just got off the phone with my sis. Dang, Good. Time!
Time for a second White Wine Sangria.
Meant to say earlier that I visited PattyAnn today on the way home from church. She was very tired and uncomfy. But considering everything, that’s totally expected. If you want to pray something specific for her, pray that both she and John get some solid sleep. They both need it big-time.
*looks around*
Sausagefest?
I’m very glad this is a three day weekend. I need the extra break.
We’re under a tornado watch until 8. I’m in the ghetto bar. This place is bullet-proof.
The sirens were on near the house about an hour ago, but the rain stopped about 630.
I don’t really need the extra day, and I’m headed to a ball game with the in-laws tomorrow. They’re fine, but it’s still going to be more stressful to me than a workday would have been.
With your inlaws?
WTF
Drink lots of beer.
I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I slap my MIL on the ass and tell her husband what I’m going to do to his daughter later.
I like the cut of pupster’s jib.
Make her dinner and vacuum the house?

How’d you do that?
Pupster, one nice thing about the family is that I don’t have a father-in-law. He departed long before I entered the picture.
I miss my ex’s dad, though, he was good people. Taught me to shoot.
I hadn’t thought of trying to drink my way through the day. Do they have gluten-free beer at ballparks?

So Mrs. Andy was in Colorado this weekend. She put her return flight for today in her Blackberry calendar and got to the airport about 2 hours early.
Except that thing doesn’t change time zones automatically, which means she got there about the time her plane was leaving!
Fuckin’ time zones. How do they work?
Do they have gluten-free beer at ballparks?
Depends on which ballpark; some of them do…..
And now, back to the couch –
We’re watching the Extreme Couponing marathon on TLC. I’m pretty sure that cereal, Vitamin Water, and paper towels are free if purchased correctly.
The phone knows where it is. I am surprised they don’t adjust.
My Blackberry Curve adjusted when we were in AZ. Weird.
It has something to do with longitude. Really hard.
I dunno about that couponing thing. I just don’t have the time to spend doing that shit. I already shop at the salvage store. I LOVE the salvage store.
She has the same BB I do, and that fucker most definitely doesn’t adjust itself.
Thing is, she knew she was supposed to get back here around 11pm. How she thought you could leave Denver at 7:30 local and accomplish that is beyond me.
Fuckin’ Warp Factor 10. How does it work?
Yeah, for most of these people it’s a decent-paying part-time job handling coupons. And it’s almost all packaged food, of which I consume basically none. Paper towels, though, peaked my interest. I go through a lot of those with two cats and a dog.
I will not allow this to turn into a cost-cutting blog.
You have no idea how crazy I’ll go to stop it.
Most stuff I eat isn’t coupon-y stuff anyway, Yeah, some, because John likes doritoes and cheezymac, but I mostly cook from scratch. My baking is probably 95% scratch and the rest I get at cost through work. Like chocolate and fondant from Albert Uster. I never see coupons for Guittard chocolate, which is what I buy when I can find it, and I get a lot of dairy from the ss. I also love me some SavALot and most of their stuff is their own brand and not coupon friendly.
http://fwd4.me/02bP
Fine. Then we’ll talk about my chicken-flavored leg. It’s not so terrible. One really bad spot in the middle, which is where I think I caught the corner of the firebox and 3rd degree burned it. Brown and shit… The rest is just typical kitcheny burn. My stepdad has some Silva-Dene (w/e) burn cream that is excellent, so I have some of that slathered on it.
I have that CD in my car!!! LOL!!!
So, who is watching “The Event” or “Falling Skies”?
I wish I knew how to do the Couponing thing and what is a salvage store?
There are never coupons for beef or broccoli, so I mostly wait for sales. I freeze roasts that were on sale in a week I didn’t need them, that’s as frugal as I can get with my diet.
There’s a grass-fed cattle farm about 2 miles from the new place we’re buying, though, and the barn has room enough for a big chest freezer, so we’re thinking we might buy beef by the side in the near future.
http://tinyurl.com/dh74jf
Salvage Stores are places that buy pallets of stuff that get damaged. If a pallet gets dropped on the corner and the corner is crushed, the whole pallet is marked as damaged, the store gets credit from the shipper or home office (depends on who damaged it) and they sell it cheap to these places. I’ve gotten boxes of tea 2/1.00 that are normally 4.59 or so. Not the damaged ones, good, sealed boxes. They also buy overstock that stores can’t find room for. I bought a whole filet mignon for 28.00 or so. Ribeyes for 3.99/lb., milk for 1.50 cheaper a gallon, Hormel Black Label bacon for 1.99. That sorta stuff.
SavALot is just a chain of stores that don’t stock 30 different kids of each item and mostly sell their own brand. I get most of my dairy from there- their American cheese is the best I’ve had.
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why. . .
http://fwd4.me/02bQ
So this is a coupon blog now?
Leon- There’s a guy who sells natural beef by my house. I love it. It has a weird smell when you cook it, but that’s actually the way meat is supposed to smell. The only complaint I have is that you pay for the whole side, bones, fat, everything, and then you only get the meat weight after it’s cleaned and trimmed. You can’t pick what you want your meat to look like. The taste and texture are phenomenal, but I’m picky about the meat I eat so after two buys, I wasn’t 100% satisfied. Best thing I can recommend is find a slaughterhouse that sells to the public. We had one of those but they closed about six months after we moved here. I had rabbit, buffalo, sausage, roast, all kinds of stuff. I wish another would open.
You’re just angry about no coupons for rubber fists and extra heavy lube, Scott.

Just got home from watching the 2011 World Series Champion Brewers bitch slap the Giants. Sweet.
I have uses for bone and fat if I can get the guy to vac-pack them for me. They do slaughter and butchering on-site. It’s going to end up costing more than my regular grocery store, but less than Whole Foods would charge me for grass-fed beef.

My body aches are immune to booze.
FUCK YOU ROTOTILLER!
I think you might be doin’ it wrong Scott.
Brisket on the smoker, smells awesome, with the hickory smoke around here.
Can’t wait to try it tomorrow!
rototiller?
damnnnn… I just did powerwashing.. rototillin, NFW
DaveinTejas – Have your ribs healed up?
And yes Licky, you have me pegged.
Scott??? Uh, no. You might want to check your dictionary of deviant sexual terms…
I wanna see cakey pics! I do not think I am having your facechimp, Roamy. Can someone clue me in… I know you morons have means to contact me.
CAKE!!!!!!!
I think I can smell your brisket from here Jay. http://is.gd/0c2EAe
I’m gonna catch a movie with the boys. Later cool kids.
[I got your email Licky..TY]
Later, Tater! Thanks so much!
yeah, the busted ribs are good.
LL, how’s yore laig hon? You ok?
What did you do your ribs, DiT? Glad you’re better, whatever happened.
Mah laig is fahn. Got some SilvaDene or however it’s spelled on it. It looks nasty, though.
Hm. CPO killed his wife in Algiers the other day. Apparently, he stabbed her with an inkpen.

Goodfellas style?
My first try at a brisket, Cyn. I’m hoping I don’t screw it up.
I’ve hit the firebox with my leg before, too, Licky, though not quite as severe as you.
Certainly gets your attention.
CPO killed his wife in Algiers the other day.
I DID NOT! I cannot remember how long it’s been since I spent a week in the Maison DuPuy!!!

Figure you’ll do fine. Low slow heat… not too much smoke. Cool it completely before you slice it and slice it cross grain. Fin.
Let us know how you do.
I did brisket today! It was yummy. Smoked it with some oak and a good dry rub. I like it at about 250 for about an hour over its weight in hours. This one was a small one because I had a ton of other food.
I’m sure you’ll do fine…
I dunno much about the CPO. It was a blurb. He ran, they found him in AL, I think.
Trying to keep the heat down, Cathy, but it wants to burn hotter. Got the vents closed, and the temp is finally down to 230. Want it down another 10-20 from there.
Thanks for the tips!
I usually braise brisket. Season, trim, wrap in a foil envelope and bake at 300F for 3 hours.
I’ve only had brisket a couple of times, Licky, and it was kinda dry. I don’t think they cooked it long enough.
My mom said my aunt used to make a kick ass brisket, and she’s gonna get the recipe for it. She had that, but I didn’t get to. But, at least I get to use the smoker, again. Should have thrown some wings and jalepeno poppers too.
I do chicken thighs. Leave the skin on, season under it and on both sides, cook skin side down, then turn it over to finish. Some sausage, burgers, hotdogs, and a bunch of other stuff today and everyone was happy!
Might have been cooked at too high a temp. Never over 250.
I’ve only had brisket a couple of times, Licky, and it was kinda dry
That’s why I braise it wrapped in foil. Hard to end up dry with that method.
Yeah, love doing chicken on the smoker. I’ve been using smoked chicken breasts for salad during the week, tastes awesome cold!
Thighs are really good on the smoker. They are a little tougher, so they benefit from the longer cooking time. They taste great!

I missed the LickyLicky leg accident. CAN SOMEONE FILL ME IN? Fanx.
That silvadene cream is amazing. It was new and very expensive when I was a burn team chaplain. Glad it’s easily accessible these days.
That’s a good idea, leon. Never tried brisket before, but I will do that, if it rains and I need to finish it off.
Licky burned her leg on the firebox of her smoker. I think it got to 3rd degree at some parts of it.
Sounds pretty painful.
Getting sleepy. Not going to fight it. G’night.
Thanks Jay. I’ll bet someone could smell that leg smokin’
*ouch*
Night, leon. Have fun at the tiger game!
I kicked the damper shut on the firebox of the smoker today and I just kinda lost my balance a little and hit the corner of the box with my calf. Got a nasty burn with a really bad spot on it, but I’m kinda used to burns at this point.
My neighbor, a retired RN, recommended SilvaDene a few months back when my stepdad had radiation burns from cancer treatment. My mom brought me some today. I have aloe out back so I grabbed some of that maybe a minute after I did it. I’ll live!
Move over, bacon, here’s something leaner!
Sizzler!
When I served at Brooke Army Med Center over ten years ago, that silvadene cream was a new product and a large jar of it cost hundreds of dollars… The medical team loved the stuff. Don’t know if their version was stronger, but I hope it works for you.
I’ll be interested in hearing how you heal up, LickyLicky. Take care.
Did you get to see the cake pics on Facebook?
Goodnight hawt chicks and creepy stalker guys!
I don’t think I have Roamy on my fb…
Neighbor said her BIL burned himself really, really bad with hot grease and he had some of it from the nurses at the hospital where he was an equipment rep. His doc was amazed at how quickly and well he healed and wanted to know how. Given that the nurses would have gotten in lots of trouble, he just played it off. It worked well for my stepdad.
Night, MCPO. Don’t go all stabby now!
I’ll friend you guys, LickyLicky.
*yawning*
Gonna take a dip in the pool and retire.
G’Night lovely folks.

Heh, I’ll bet Breitbart already has em.
Licky, check yur facechimp.
Licky’s calf, the other white meat.
Hey gal, 4 years ago I splashed hot oil on the inside of my left forearm, pretty much all of it. 3rd degree burn. That silver stuff, it was prescribed.. today you can’t even see but just the faintest scar on my arm. Works.
Got it, Brad. TY.
Wow. Clicked on Eddie’s link.. I did see the original pic after all.
Sounds like that siver stuff is something to have on hand.
Derp.
Mr. RFH received a late b’day present today – a Hostage kind of T-shirt. “In dog beers, I’ve had only one.” Gonna steal that one for the next meetup.
Happy late Birthday Mr. RFH!
and Licky is my friend! 🙂
Happy birfday Mr. Roamy.

I should be finished packing, but I’m not. Rocketboy handed me a pile of clothes. No socks, no underwear, and no outfit for the award ceremony, even though we’ve talked several times about the need for a button-down shirt, tie, and dress pants. I should go kick him awake, but there’s time in the morning to finish. I’m just pissed off, which is not a good mood for Momma to be in at the beginning of a trip.
You gotta watch that one, Roamy. ::whispers:: she’s crazy!
and Licky is my friend! 🙂
And so!
Eh, just kick him awake for the fun of it! Ice water in a spray bottle is awesssssssome! Mean, but awesome. Heh. No, really, I saw it on YouBoobTube.
And who said that about me? Just because I choked the last dissident with cake doesn’t mean I’m crazy! And they couldn’t prove it was me anyway. It… was… cakeMIX!
Damn, I always hated traveling with my mom when I was a teen, but if I tried to get her to pack for me, I wouldn’t be here now. Especially if I left shit out like that.
Nice one, Sean.
Guess you haven’t licked the toad yet.
THIS. IS. CAKETOWN!
My dad always favored a coaches whistle, when we erred from the path.
Just sayin.
It’s a LOOOOOOONG time away from toad time, Roamy.
J’ames: if this patriot usa guy isn’t donning his flack jacket for the assault the leftosphere will unleash on him, he better soon since actually investigating Weinergate is too hard for them.
Dave?
Watching “Amok Time” reminded me of this. (not work safe with the volume on)

Night, morons. I need to go to bed. I am tired from everything today. You all have a good night,
Too bad Weiner isn’t a Republican, then we could see just how investigative those reporters could be, huh eddie?
Pretty sure it’s Palin’s fault, though.
yes on both

If you see a Twilight Zone episode that’s in color, is it pretty much for-sure crappy, or am I just getting unlucky?
Wakey wakey.
Leon, you’ll have to invite me over for your brisket, because I’ve never had one I liked.
Always dry.
Will do. I haven’t made it in awhile, I usually wait for brisket to be on sale.
Mornin’, dick tweeters.
Good post at Ace’s, Andy. When you’re doing junk-blogging, it’s nice to break it up a little.
Yeah, a Weiner respite was needed for sure.
Yeah, a Weiner respite was needed for sure.
This whole thing is hilarious. Verum Serum, I think, was noting that Weiner was also following a porn star. What will be the fate of our favorite “little tent Democrat”? Senator, if history is any guide.
Headed off to the cemetery soon. At noon, the local American Legion puts on a brief program, complete with the junior high band, firing squad, etc. There’s a section set aside for those killed in combat, complete with a Sherman tank.
My daughter is playing in the band at our little town’s ceremony this evening. It ends with a march to the cemetery where they’ll read the names of the fallen beginning with, IIRC, the French and Indian War.
How many black-outs does your band generally have every year? We always seem to have one kid who locks his knees and goes down for the count. Tradition!
It’ll be around 90 at noon, so this year is primo.
You should invite MCPO, Andy.
Since he’s a veteran of that war.
Morning Scott, coffee is ready.

Tomato growing tips that seem pretty good. I’d never heard of some of them.
I thought I’d read about grass clippings, but I want to double check this morning before I did it. It not only keeps the plant’s moisture, but also can help prevent blight – which comes from the soil and splashes up on the leaves.
Memorial Day activities around here have pretty much been cancelled.
Severe storm warnings earlier had towns cancelling everything.
Unfortunately the severe storms turned out to be light showers.
Stupid alarmists.
Scott, did your read Sean’s link how La Jolla is canceling the fireworks display because some green asshole is using a new douche law to say that the impact of the fireworks needs to be studied. Kids parties at the park need to be reviewed also.
California is full of these pathetic losers.

I played trombone, Roamy.
I’m not proud of it.
Band Camp and Band Trips where the highlight of my yout.
Again, not proud.
I can’t believe these people really think it is environmentally that important. They just like using the law to prevent fun, and bully others.
What’s the best cleaner for auto-glass? I’ve got about a years worth of cigarette haze and dog drool on my car windows, and the glass cleaner I’m using just smears it around.
I’m about to try this method:

The hard part is down low on the windshield where it meets the dashboard.
Xbrad, I’m sure they also got a kick out of putting a stop to something patriotic.

D’oh! How could I forget THAT component of it, Mare?

Trombone.
Better than clarinet.
Happy Memorial Day, Mare.

Also, I’m trying to clean the glass out in the hot sun, and I guess the glass cleaner is drying to a haze before I can wipe it off.

We coat quite a few old boat hatches at the shop I always use acetone to clean the old glass. Works like a champ. Probably should use acetone for the heavy lifting then go back with just straight up Windex to clean off the acetone and get rid of the smell.
Thanks, Pup!
The xbrad, funneh gif made me LOL
Sorry, xbrad.
I snickered just a bit at it also, Mare.

This past April our city banned smoking from all restaurants, bars, and work places.
I voted no ’cause I don’t have to go out to eat.
I overheard my mom say that another city – Kirkwood even banned it from outdoors. You can only smoke in your house/on your property. She is all over that. Fraggin nazis. If it is that bad, ban cigarettes. Period.
“If it is that bad, ban cigarettes.”
And lose all of that revenue?
Think of the children!
HOBO!
*sharpens a toothpick
And lose all of that revenue?
First they came for the smokers…..
Come on up to the new poat.
I’m doing all I can to support children’s health care.
