Our government is a giant shitball of incompetents, liars and fascist pricks.
What what
I left my fall planting advice on the last poat
And if I ever have a house with space for such, I will make use of it. Apartment life for me for a while. (At least next weekend’s move won’t be nearly as stressful as the final bugout from the old house.)
I made a video game, it’s called “Me Driving in Minnesota”

Scratch the cocoa and hand me a Caucasian (white Russian). Other than that, the list looks pretty much like autumn around these parts.
I got my honey out of the hive Friday and did the extraction this morning at my friend’s place. He’s got all the gear for it. Low yield this year, about a gallon as a rough estimate.
I always like to get him a bee themed gift as a way of saying thanks. Got him one of these this year

My bees are busy taking the leftover honey out of the frames. At least I hope they’re my bees. I left the frames by the hive and they’re busy taking it now. Could be bees from the field too. Some of the honey spilled in my truck so I left it out of the garage and it’s being swarmed too.
I sent the boy off to his grandparents for Youth Deer Day today. Got everything ready yesterday with the hunter orange clothes, rifle, keys for the lock and cartridges. Turns out what I thought was a box of .243 rounds was leftover brass from last year. He took his grandpa’s 30-30 instead. Oops.

Interesting euphamism.
If you give them crystallized honey, will they make it liquid again like brand new? Or will it reharden in the honeycomb after they puke it up?
They’ll use it to make liquid honey. Right now it’s liquid. You can’t really get all the honey out of the frames despite spinning the frames in what is essentially a giant centrifuge. If I ever put crystallized honey in there in the winter they’d use it for food to keep shivering for warmth.
I’ve started using mason jars to store my honey since it always ends up crystallizing by the time I use it. When I want liquid honey I just put it in a warm water bath and it melts down. When I used plastic containers they always warped and made me think I was eating plastic in my tea.
The nurse who makes all my calls for patient test results gets a jar and the orderly who trades me for some maple syrup in the spring gets a jar. Paula’s parents are on the list too. Her dad gives me hay bales to stack beside the hives as a winter windblock.
I am picturing Jimdro in full-on Oprah mode right now.
“YOU get a jar, and YOU get a jar, and YOU get a her… AAAAAEVERYBODY GETS A JAR!
Ben Shapiro’s latest. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have the introduction to the speech, where they basically said, if you try to disrupt this speech, you will get tossed and possibly expelled or arrested. Gives me hope that UT is coming back from the preferred pronoun mess.
We’re hosting a few of the boy’s friends tonight for video gaming and pizza after they go to Fright At The Fort.
http://z1073.com/fright-at-the-fort-2017-is-almost-here-video/
Paula went to the Dollar General down the road to load up on snacks and drinks for them as well as buying a few other things she needed. While in the aisles she spotted condoms and figured the older boy would never buy them on his own without prompting so she just grabbed a box and threw them in her cart. For some reason she’s always self conscious about buying tons of junk food and believes people will think she’s buying it for herself. So when she got to the register she told the clerk “Yeah, we’re having a bunch of teenagers over tonight” as an explanation for all the chips and soda. It was all good until the clerk grabbed the box of condoms. She was mortified.
I laughed a little too much when she told me that one.
LOL. My brother wanted Brunswick stew, so he got the recipe from Dad and gave it to SIL to make. Instead of Louisiana Hot Sauce “to taste”, she put the WHOLE bottle in. Dad is laughing his ass off, and we’re looking at each other saying, “Has she never had hot sauce before?” (Answer: no. Picky eater.)
I’ve never had Brunswick Stew but based on this recipe I think I’d like it

Does your recipe differ much Roamy?

Mine doesn’t have sugar or BBQ sauce. Gimme a few, and I’ll have it posted at the recipe site.
I’m like The Oprah in that gif when I open my hive in the spring and find they made it through the winter. Buying new bees is a pricey endeavor. And the deadline for ordering them is in March which is well before you know for certain they’ve survived.
BEES !!!
https://hostagerecipes.wordpress.com/2017/10/21/papas-brunswick-stew/
Original recipe says “serves 25”, but that’s not teenage boys.
I would guess the BBQ sauce makes up some of the flavor from the smoker. I usually don’t add any more salt, since the Worcestershire has enough, but I do add the black pepper.
Football game is delayed on fox, so they are showing Arizona St. Sparky makes me miss Cyn.
Man Brunswick stew was MADE for the PBC! Looks fantastic.
That looks great! I sent it to myself via email to refer to when I’m shopping next time. Lots of leftovers with that recipe which is a good thing. Eat it a few times and freeze the rest for weeknights.
Dad usually makes that or a cafeteria tray of pasta pie when all the kids visit. The Methodist church in his town makes “camp stew” (same thing but tastes like it has ketchup in it) for a fundraiser.
Hmm, what to watch tomorrow. No baseball, and no Chiefs.

We just finished season one of Hap and Leonard last night. Highly recommend.
Everybody ran off and started making Brunswick Stew.
Don’t have a kitchen yet or I would. Come to think about it, I’m not even sure I have a crock pot at the moment…
I just got us a new roasting pan and Paula requested a turkey to break it in. That’s the menu for tomorrow. She’s a bundle of nerves 5 days before surgery. What she wants she gets.
Brunswick Stew is going to have to wait a couple of weeks.
you have a PBC and you cook turkey in an oven?
Gotta break the pan in ya know!
turkey does sound good. I haven’t fried one in a while.
Home, finally. Class was fun.
Am I supposed to wakey wakey on the new poat?
Today was leg day.
One of the pieces we picked up weighs around 300 lbs.
Then I got to move all the bedroom furniture back upstairs.
You can wakey wakey on this poat in the morning. I’m betting it’ll still be here.
It’s gonna get up above 100° again here in the next few days. At this rate, we should finally get Fall sometime around Christmas.
Fall is for closers.
It’s not my fault that these leads are for shit.

I have to think way too hard during his movies.
Mr. RFH is not happy about this baseball game.
And that’s that. Congratulations, Houston, that was quite the series.
Scott,
Thank you.
I’ve not the fever, yet…
Hope you’re feeling better soon, ChrisP.
It’s probably your prostate.
Mr RFH is a Yankee fan?
You know all the teevee execs were right there with Mr. RFH. Oh well, no 1981 rematch.
Jay, very much so. He grew up in NJ, and his uncle was friends with some muckity-muck (exec at French’s Mustard, I think) with a skybox. He has a photo album of ticket stubs and autographs. Big fan of Thurman Munson.
The 1996 World Series between the Braves and the Yankees was total war in this house, all the more aggravating because he hadn’t followed his team all season (master’s degree and building a house).
This might cheer him up, roamy: There’s a good chance that a significant number of the free agents on the Astros’ roster will end up playing for the Yankees next year. So it’ll be like part of the team was in the World Series!
From
class today…
Night all
Very cool, Colex. Is that about the size of a lapel pin?
Nice Alex
How much?
G’night, Vman.
Sean, about that size, but too thick. We drill through the back and string it with a leather cord.
Vmax, the instructor said he usually sells them for $20.
I’m sitting in some dive bar between hipsters drinking pbr and some juggalos. Good times.
Seriously, it’s like some updated version of “long haired redneck”.
I read that sentence as saying that you were sitting between two hipsters and were drinking PBR and also drinking some juggalos.
Which, the second part sounds both implausible and gross.
Diana eschewed reading periodicals.
Beeeg pile of paperwork to plow through today. And I have to finish moving back into the bedroom (this calls for another round of KonMarie clothes-culling). And we’re getting our houseguest’s rug pad and area rug down today too.
After that, the Wiserbuds are coming over to eat. It would be nice if our neighbor wasn’t shooting his guns, so Tiki could come over too without getting freaked out.
Some weekends he shoots intermittently all day on Sunday. It’s annoying.
Anyway, my new bedroom looks awesome. Houseguest gave us a huge beautiful area rug with a lot of blue and cream in it that appears brand new and somehow matches the furniture and walls. All pulled together now. Last thing to do is put up shades and curtains. I want blackout shades. Any small piece of light wakes me up these days.
Scott still wants to replace some quarter-round molding to finish the edge of the floor but frankly I’m not any kind of a perfectionist wrt decor and I don’t mind if he does it or not. The little distressed edge is fine, who cares. I used to hate those fussy bitches at work. Like the world is going to end if this thing you will never look at again isn’t absolutely perfect.
It would make sweeping easier, I guess. Other than that, meh.
Who’s up? Just me?

Heh. Wasn’t there some statistic game about who wins the World Series based on the number of former Cubs?
I was so glad when we were done with school sports. Worst was a football game that was almost a 6 hour drive, each way. Also, the team got crushed.

I made a bunch of coconut milk custards recently and now I have this bowl of 12 egg whites. No idea what to do with them. Guess I could make some granola, but that only uses two egg whites for six cups.
Omelets?
There were also the baseball games where they had to stop play because the wind was so bad. The dust was so thick the pitcher couldn’t see home plate.
Pups, as a former hardware store employee, I have seen some of the most harebrained measuring methods possible. One of my coworkers actually had a guy come in who had used a large rubber band to measure something. Yes. Stretched. The fucking ‘tard actually took the rubber band out and stretched it to the dimension he thought looked right.
What you say to a person like this is, “I need you to actually use a measuring tape for this because if I cut your order and it’s wrong, we will have wasted [X] and you will not be able to get paid for your return.”
But what you WANT to say is, “Please tell me you’re the stupidest motherfucker I’m going to meet today.”
Meringue on a pie.
Angel food cake.
Egg drop soup.
Fried rice, though I’d only use 4 or 5, not 12 egg whites.
Lemon Syringe Pie!
This sports complex is fancy.
I’m not detecting a theme here today. Help a brutha out.
The theme for today is your mom.
angel food cake for the win
I came up with a hare brain idea for a party with our friends. HotBride and I supply braised beef, andouille sausage, chicken thighs, and macaroni, and each person brings three cans of any vegetable they like (or frozen), and we throw it all into a kettle, season the shit out of it, and have a fucking cook out. Everybody loved it. We’re doing it on Nov. 10. If weather doesn’t cooperate we’ll just do it inside on the stove.
Sounds like a plan!
I know you have all been dying to hear the latest on my softball season.
Finished the regular season in first, which gave us a bye and home field advantage in the playoffs.
So we ended playing the winner of one of the first round games who just happened to be the team we beat last year in the championship game.
They were ready for action and totally fired up after winning their first game this morning in dramatic fashion.
We take the field and immediately give up two runs.
We come to bat and get those runs back.
They come up and we shut them down. We score one. They score 3. We score 5. We then go back and forth, each team scoring a run, keeping us in the lead.
Bottom of the 5th, we go up by 3. And then shut ‘me down in the top of the sixth. We score I more in the bottom of the sixth, putting us up by 4.
Top 7, with one out, they put two runners on and one of their big hitters comes up. Hits a triple, driving in two runs.
Next batter shoots a screaming line drive to third, and the third baseman snags it. Next batter, who I struck out earlier, hits a hard grounder to third…
Third baseman can’t field it cleanly… finally gets a grip and throws it to first. Wide right!!!
First baseman comes off the bag and catches the Balkan’s tags the batter out for the third out!
Game over! Chosen Runs advance to the championship game for the second year in a row!
Best news of the day? 2nd place team that has been a tough competitor all year ends up forfeiting their second round game because they could only get 8 guys to show up.
So we face the 4th place team in the final game next Sunday.
🤞
Hotspur, sounds good.
>>>>>After that, the Wiserbuds are coming over to eat.
Ummmmmmmmm………………
Wiserbride is not happy with me.
I’m growing my “post-season” beard.
She’s actually refusing to kiss me.
*shrug
It’s sportsball, baby.
Stop keeping your afternoon snack in your beard, and you should be fine.

You have only yourself to blame. You should have encouraged your chirrun to take up an American sport, like Football, or bootlegging.
Oh, and we’re calling it slumgullion.

I imagine the andouille takes a lot of the guesswork out of the seasoning process.

——-
Dad?? Is that you?
I got the idea when y’all were talking about Brunswick Stew yesterday. I looked it up and thought that’s a lot like the slumgullion we made in the Boy Scouts. On the last day of a camp out the scout masters would have us bring all of our leftover cans of food and dump it all in a cauldron on the camp fire and that would be our last meal before breaking camp. It was always fun.
Did we find out if Chrispy is okay?
And no one will know what anyone else is bringing, so it will all be a surprise. It might be awesome or it might be yuck. I don’t think it will be yuck.
I’m not okay, I hurt like hell, but I’m still breathing…
What’s up, ChrisP?
Darn it, Chripy. I was hoping it was just something you ate, a one off so to speak. What does Anita think?
I went to a Superbowl party about 25 years ago. It was attended by mostly men and we were all instructed to bring an appetizer.
Every single guy brought a bag of shrimp.
Still feels like my left kidney is gonna assplode, but my ultrasound is not until Friday morning.
Don’t wait until Friday. Go into the ER and tell them you think you’re going to pass out. Or better yet, just pass out at the desk.

This is the best comment ever. I can finally stop worrying.
From the food thread at the mothership:
“So what do you do by hand that can also be done with the aid of some mechanical device? ”
XBrad?
I’m with Hotspur on that advice
On the ER…not the cooking
Although the cooking sounds good too
>>>Will it be televised?
Wiserdaughter will be there.
I’ll have her Persiscope it
>>>This is the best comment ever. I can finally stop worrying.
Not yet. One more game.
I wish my dad as scoutmaster had thought of that idea. Sunday was usually breakfast and pack your shit day to get home by noon. Of course we had to hang around and clean all the gear which was stored in the basement of the convent those days. Which is now “affordable housing” FFS
Will there be trophies?
Not yet. One more game.

I stand by my comment.
Mini-me passed the board of review for the American Heritage Girls Dolley Madison Award. This is like Life Scout in Boy Scouts. She has a year and a half to earn the Stars and Stripes Award, before she turns 18.
Well done, Mini Roamy!!
Hotspur, you know who is a c@nt? She wears a circus hat, a band uniform and a clown flower on her shoulder. That’s who.
Good job! I needed a little convincing by my mother to finally get my Eagle stuff done. I just had to get one required badge (Emergency Preparedness) and to organize my project which I’d already done to submit my application. I was past the age where it was “okay” (according to my peers) to still be in Scouts. I’m very thankful my mom gave me that final push because it was a great source of pride for my dad to have three sons achieve the Eagle Scout rank. And pretty soon after I was finished high school I figured out how close I came to blowing a big opportunity.
Mare, I do not know to whom you are referring.
Frederica Wilson.
Frederica Wilson. Maxine Waters. Sheila Jackson Lee. Cynthia McKinney. Alan Grayson. Joe Biden. All certifiably batshit crazy. Joe at least has the excuse of the aneurysm. Why do Democrats keep voting for them? I’m sure I’m leaving someone out. That guy in the Tigger suit went away, I think.
James Woods has her figured out. Here’s a link with his description of her.

Not sure what “The Wrap” is or even if it’s a political or gossip site but it gives the details anyway.
Frederica Wilson. Maxine Waters. Sheila Jackson Lee. Cynthia McKinney. Alan Grayson. Joe Biden. All certifiably batshit crazy. Joe at least has the excuse of the aneurysm. Why do Democrats keep voting for them?
Perhaps their constituents aren’t particularly well-adjusted, either. Just spitballin’ here.

We were at war the entire 8 years that Stuttering Clusterfuck was the president. What the fuck was Code Pink doing during that time? And if they were protesting, what was the MSM doing that no one knew?
As they ran a long news story on our soldiers killed in Niger I said essentially the same thing to Paula this morning.
https://legalinsurrection.com/2017/10/25-not-salon-approved-conservatives-worth-following-on-twitter/
I’m surprised they haven’t had camera crews camped out at Dover AFB since the day after the Inauguration.
https://is.gd/EoVH8m
I’m still trying to figure out how Niger is Trump’s Benghazi. Did he know they were in trouble and not send help? Did he lie and blame a video afterwards? Did he say “What difference does it make?”
they still believe we made everything up about Benghazi, so they figure its fair to do the same thing.
Except we didn’t.
It’s a sad fricken day in America when Mare and Jimmy Effing Carter mostly agree:
http://www.dailywire.com/news/22585/jimmy-carter-unleashed-russians-didnt-alter-joseph-curl
So, if you’re keeping score at home:
1. “Benghazi totally wasn’t a thing.”
“But what about the security req–”
“SHUT UP, WINGNUT!!!!”
2. “This Niger thing is totally Trump’s Benghazi.”
“I thought you just spent several years saying Benghazi wasn’t–”
“SHUT UP, WINGNUT!!!”
