I bet none of ya all had to eat flour mush for breakfast

Nope, but have had cornbread and milk for dinner.

we took a brown paper bag with a tuna sandwich and a peanut butter sandwich for lunch , that was all
when we got home , there was a pot of pinto beans cooking on the stove for supper

Peanut butter mixed with cream or egg sandwiches. We had lots of chickens and a milk cow.

My grandfather would sit on the back porch and tap a pecan on the arm of the chair. He had several that would slowly approach and take the pecan from his hands. He also had a screwed up tip of one finger from one biting the pooo out of him. Bubba

I had one start to close on my finger, but let it go once it realized it was not the peanut.

55F @ 71% RH, gorgeous, mostly clear, and predicted to reach 82F, with good air quality.

Off this morning to help build a cage to protect the stores at a local foodbank.

That is impossible. The tallest plant of that nature that I have seen was roughly 8" high.

And the stem, leaves, roots would not have added up to any one of the leaves shown above. (*sigh*)

Don't hunt no more but will put a bb in a Squirrels ass if he gets near my fruit trees. Got a Red Ryder with a scope that is very accurate

I have a SEVERE problem with squirrels when my mango trees fruit. The little bastages will go way out to the hard, green mango... take a bite or two, and go on to another. One of my trees produced FOUR (4) un-tainted mangoes. Out of a coupla hunnert.

I'm in a box, here... I like to feed them all year round <-- it cuts down on their death toll markedly. But somehow it seems not right if I go out there with my Ruger Single-Six and pop them all outa my trees in May, June, and July...

There is no fargin way to keep them away from the fruit with fences, etc. These are squirrels, not deer.

I have been putting BBs in their ass so long they are scared to come in my yard. Guarantee a few weigh more now from the bbs.
Not to mention my Dog catches and shakes the shit out of them before he lets go.

No older brothers, but my jeans were always long too, but I got way cooler by folding the cuff inside, versus outside. Most also had patches on the knees, which I see you need in that pair.

Roster, you brute.....................

57F @ 77% RH, clear with 5 mph wind and predicted to reach 71F with good air quality.

Alas, my efforts to support the "local food bank" turned into a CF. Also a joke on me, because somehow when I saw the post I read Oak Grove, practically touching Portland, versus Forest Grove, about 30 miles and 45 minutes to several hours drive toward the coast, depending on notorious HW 26 traffic. By the time I recognized what I had done, I was in too deep, so volunteered anyway.

The organizer said he would arrive between 9:00 and 10:00, so I spent about thirty minutes lugging tools from the basement/garage and loading the Jeep. I left at 8:15AM and traffic was relatively light, so I arrived about 9:15AM to a deserted parking lot.

I waited until 10:15AM with no one showing up, and then decided I had gotten the day wrong and returned home, which took slightly longer because traffic was heavier. When I asked about the schedule, the organizer said that he had decided to go to Home Depot first, to pick up supplies.

I've never met the organizer, but he stated that he was an entertainer, and I'm an engineer/program manager, so there may be the rub. Engineers plan the work, and work the plan, starting at a precise time on a specific date, vis a vis "tomorrow between 9 and 10:00. We of course also don't change the plan mid stream, without notifying other team members.

The good news is that now that I recognize where the project is and how it is organized, I can stay clear without feeling guilty and and avoid frustration.

They probably don't make those iron on knee patches anymore.
