    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.)

    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

    https://www.swissknifeshop.com/swiss-army-honeybee-classic-sd-limited-edition-by-victorinox-2017

    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.

  7. Comment by Jimbro on October 21, 2017 2:12 pm

    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.

    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?

  11. Comment by Jimbro on October 21, 2017 2:28 pm

    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.

    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.

  16. Comment by roamingfirehydrant on October 21, 2017 3:02 pm

    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.)

  17. Comment by Jimbro on October 21, 2017 3:14 pm

    I’ve never had Brunswick Stew but based on this recipe I think I’d like it

    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 !!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

  55. Comment by roamingfirehydrant on October 22, 2017 12:08 am

    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).

  56. Comment by Sean M. on October 22, 2017 12:20 am

    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!

    I read that sentence as saying that you were sitting between two hipsters and were drinking PBR and also drinking some juggalos.

    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.

  69. Comment by lauraw on October 22, 2017 6:51 am

    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.

    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.”

    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.

  95. Comment by wiserbud on October 22, 2017 1:34 pm

    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, that is an outstanding food party idea!! I love it.

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

    Oh, and we’re calling it slumgullion.

    Dad?? Is that you?

  109. Comment by Hotspur on October 22, 2017 3:47 pm

    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?

  111. Comment by Hotspur on October 22, 2017 3:53 pm

    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?

  114. Comment by mare on October 22, 2017 4:00 pm

    Darn it, Chripy. I was hoping it was just something you ate, a one off so to speak. What does Anita think?

  115. Comment by scott on October 22, 2017 4:07 pm

    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.

  117. Comment by Hotspur on October 22, 2017 4:21 pm

    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.

    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.
    🤞

    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

    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.

    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.

  132. Comment by Jimbro on October 22, 2017 5:25 pm

    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.

  133. Comment by Hotspur on October 22, 2017 5:34 pm

    Mare, I do not know to whom you are referring.

  134. Comment by mare on October 22, 2017 5:44 pm

    Frederica Wilson.

  135. Comment by roamingfirehydrant on October 22, 2017 6:05 pm

    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.

  136. Comment by Jimbro on October 22, 2017 6:05 pm

    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.

    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?

    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?”

  145. Comment by Jay in Ames on October 22, 2017 8:28 pm

    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:

  147. Comment by Sean M. on October 22, 2017 8:41 pm

    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!!!”
