Those steaks look as thick as the ones in the picture with Charlie , the only thing I dont see is the JD in a water glass, maybe it was used on the steaks this time?

I guess great minds think alike!  In the winter, I'll sometimes get some serious coals going in the fireplace, then slap a camping grill on top and cook me up a steak, which is exactly what I did for dinner tonight.  Can't beat it! 

I'm jealous of ya Kirk...it's nice to see green grass and people in t-shirts, particularly red ones.   ;)

Oookay...

I'm learnin' me amerikan...

"STEAK"  is translated to Australian as "Warm the @rse of a cow and throw it on a plate"...

I see now.....

hehehe

Oh, and too cold? Does that mean it was LESS than about 18C?

asy :D

Aaaah snow...

I remember it fondly...

I took the kids once for a play in some snow. Few hours drive, hour or two in the snow, few hours back.

That was enough.

Well today Tom gave me the grand tour.  Spent the day visiting cusomers and generaly "Pickin & Grinin" ;D  You see, its STILL to cold to cut anything......................NOT ;D

He took me to see a Corley saw.  OK, You guys with circle saws are bonified wackos :o  I had NO IDEA of the danger involved in operating a Circle saw.  My hats off to you guys.   I just may be a bandmill whimp ;D

You see, when the sawyer laughs and points to debris stuck in the ceiling or holes in the roof from flyhing teeth I can only say ............NOT FOR ME!





From there we went to Tommy's place.  What a hoot.  Good Folks! 




Got to get on the road early tomarrow so I have to bring my visit to an end.  Stay tuned for the next stop!

What model Corley is that ???  That's a good looking setup.  Wish time would have let me get up that way.  There's always next year ;)  Flying debris and teeth ??? no big deal ;)  It usually goes straight up  8) 8) 8) 8)

lIt's a Corley 4045 that his Grandad bought new in 1953.  John Drew says he was cutting a pretty good board when he was 12.  :D

Tom

Kirk just drove out of the drive, headed for the panhandle of Florida.  He has a business meeting there at 6 tonight and it'll take him the better part of the day to get there.  I-10 is a long, lonely, straight, uninteresting road.  I don't envy him the trip.   

It rained all night last night and hasn't stopped even yet.  We weren't able to walk the woods, but I did get to show him a little of the Hard wood ridge that runs through the place.  He could see the area where the tree with the hole in the bottom is located, that Jeff and I played around with when he was here.  It was just too wet to walk around in the stuff.   I wanted to take him to the creek but don't think my 4x4 would make the trip.  When you get one of them stuck, you have a mess. :D

The visit was a lot of fun.  Kirk is a very congenial young fellow, willing to listen as well as talk.  I am always excited for friends who visit to meet my friends and customers who live here.   Kirk seemed to enjoy them and the drive too. 

Kirk had caught a cold in Savanna and was feeling pretty bad by the time he got here.  He bought out the local drugstore and was swallowing OTC medicines and sniffing Afrin all day yesterday. 

Going to bed last night with a throbbing head he awoke with the cold in his chest this morning and was feeling a little better.   That's a bad situation, to have to travel like that.   Hopefully he's on the mend now.

We went to a "long-time" local Bar-B-Cue house, called "The Pig" (original, eh?) last night and he was introduced to mustard based sauce. The Dang boy picked up the tab.  :-\   I had myself a couple of orders of Ribs off of the "all you can eat" menu.  Man! they were good.  The beans, french fries and a bi-ig glass of Iced, sweetened tea made my evening.

We didn't get any TV watching done, so I turned on the news this morning to find that California sentenced that Scott Peterson guy to death and found Robert Blake guilty.  That was enough, I turned it off before anymore "entertainment news" spewed forth, and Kirk and I took a short walk to the edge of the woods before he left.

We had a good visit and I would have enjoyed having him around longer.  My impression of Kirk at the pig roast was correct and I found him to be a genuinely nice young man with an apparent good work ethic and eyes on success.   :)

Corley5

Robert Blake=not guilty ;)  Hope ya get to feeling better before to long Kirk.  That southern bug is a nasty one :(

Minor correction there, Tom.  Robert Blake was found NOT guilty. ;)  Say's he's broke now, and needs a job.  Maybe he could get on as a spokesperson for the NRA. ::) :D :D :D

Any chance you gave Kirk my phone number?  He'll be passing right by my place.  I know he'll have a time crunch on his hands, but a howdy-do and a cuppa joe would be better than nuthin.

He's on his way to Darlington, Dan.  I told him where you were but couldn't find your pnone number.

I'm sending you an IM

Guess I'll have to turn that confounded machine back on and listen again. :-\   Dad-gummed people talk too fast.  My brain can't switch gears fast enough to keep up with them.  I might have to wait on the newspaper. :D

DanG

Darlington? ???  Where's that?  It don't even show up on my map.
