That is above my pay grade! 😁
Same here; I'll have to ride a bicyle everywhere I go before I'd buy into the whole electric car realm. Come to think of it, a bike may be faster when you consider having to constantly charge up those new-fangled electric cars. If the libs get their way and we all go green, then they'll expect us all to be buzzing around in electric cars; or maybe even golf carts!!
I'm the same way with KFC livers. Give me an order of them and a couple of biscuits, and I have supper.
Know someone that's got a Tesla. He told me a year or two ago what the replacement cost of the battery pack was for those things. Can't remember the number now but it was astronomical....tens of thousands?
Looks like some of our coaches have put their names in the transfer portal!!!!!
I did not have corn on my menu today but, looks like I am having it now.
A virtual vacation.. A virtual trip to the store, and virtual wedding, virtual children...virtual food, virtual pick a subject. Even going to those extremes would not satisfy the Demosocialcommunist Liberals...
I have spoken about my pizza oven on here........I started this project 10 yrs ago.....started out paying a brick layer............After he came and cleaned my fire brick from a botched job....... I couldn't find another brick layer........I decided I would do it myself..........I would starve laying by the brick.........that being said.........brick laying is measurements, spacing and parallels......I am a carpenter by trade so.....here it is.......I am not a photographer either......

I worked at the first KFC outlet in Louisville, KY......Algonquin and Wilson Ave...........it was in 1968............I had started at a hamburger joint for $0.80 an hour and we had to pay for our drinks and lunch......a friend called and said KFC was hiring........ I went to work for the Colonel for a whopping $1.35 an hour and we could eat and drink all we wanted........I thought I was in heaven.......they filmed commercials of the Colonel twice at our store.....He came back to the kitchen and shook everyone's hand.....short little fellow........
True, as Harland Sanders' original restaurant in Corbin was never called Kentucky Fried Chicken. I remember my family stopping there sometime in the 1960s and getting some take-out. Damn, it was delicious chicken back then.
It's amazing how complete the penetration of that chain has been, and the identification with Kentucky. Here's a photo I snapped in November 2001, in Quetta, Pakistan on the Afghan border.
Everybody loves KFC!
Looks great, don't see anything wrong with it!!!

Any of the D ever had a carpenter dog? I had one once, he did little odd jobs all around the house!!!!
I had a carpenter bee once, he drilled most perfect holes. I had to exterminate him and some friends. I never got all those boogers either. Dang if I didn't have so many cases of carpenter ants too, the inbreds.... Multiplied like rabbits.
I bought two Goldendoodles almost three years ago.........I love my dogs but......they are allergic to chicken......even a tiny, tiny amount of it......there isn't much variety when it comes to chicken free dog food....So..........I started raising rabbits and a French Muscovy ducks that are the lowest fat duck to feed my dogs...........the dogs don't eat the giblets so I feed them to my chickens......the last two ducks we dressed out..... I saved the the giblets and froze them.....I like cornbread stuffing with giblets/ giblet gravy........we had a turkey and it had a half of a gizzard and a neck and that was it......I cooked the duck giblets with the turkey bits.......when it was cooked I decided to taste a duck heart and a piece of the liver.........the duck liver was unlike any liver I had ever eaten.........it was better........different texture.......different taste.....more of a beef taste to my buds..........the gizzards and heart tasted about like chicken/turkey giblets........I have a little duck sitting on 28 eggs......I am back there with extra straw and a food bowl next to her nest........I now can see what the fuss is over foie gras..........
You are a grizzled mug. May be a grizzled soul. Granny and Jethro have nothing on you...
I put a 20 x 30 deck on the back of the house a few years ago.....naturally the Carpenter bees were all over the wood.......they drill a 3/8'' hole.....you can stick a dowel in the hole and it won't fall out........another thing I noticed.....they don't like the hum of 60hrtz........when I strung vintage lights around the covered part of the deck the bees quit boring.......they will come around but don't stay.......I don't think anything multiplies like rabbits......I have four does on the nest box......37 bunnies.....(10,10,9,8).......I will be stocking my freezer up in a few weeks.......at this rate my goal of 150 bunnies out of my six does won't take long.......
My buddy always wants to know how I am able to eat my pets...........he is the same one that wanted to know if there was a easier way to get green beans rather than to spend 10-12 hrs of work for 14 quarts........I said, "yep....go to Kroger"........
You had green liver too in the military? must be a tradition. my first usaf base i was at served liver and it had a green sheen to it. i’ve told people about that and i believe they think that i’m exaggerating. my mom cooked liver now and then and i liked it but that stuff in the mess hall was not edible.
Thank you.......What is this certification you speak of.........I worked non union........our certificaton was our ability to do quality work.......and a bunch of it.......
Nothing at all........anything around here worth drinking beyond water goes to me.........
When mcd’s first opened in my town around 1960 hamburgers were .15 cents and fries were .12 cents. several of my friends worked there and many times in the summer after they closed the night shift we’d go cruising with a bag of leftover burgers.
Pretty psyched by the reports of Orlando Antigua returning. I always felt that dude had a way with the mommas of recruits. Also, he just seemed to be part of the chemistry when things were at their peak in the Cal era. Chemistry, charisma, luck, who knows? But there is the beginning of something that feels like excitement...

A simply solution to carpenter bees.
Fill a paper bag full of plastic bags or more paper bags. Hang it up.
The carpenter bees think it is a hornets nest and they will not stay around. You may want to start with several bags in several places. The placement seems to be important to running them away.
I was invaded by carpenter bees until the paper bags. They worked. I did not believe it when a gardener told me but the results are no boreholes. It works. Stupid solutions are often the best.
Here is my bag that works and then I pull out so you can see the bigger picture:
Ah, good memories. In high school over two summers we had a buddy who was Night Manager at a Roy Rogers in Ft. Thomas Kentucky. Just before closing every night he'd put on a big load of fried chicken -- RR's chicken was damn good if you remember. Of course, it wouldn't sell fast enough, so the leftovers would be "thrown out." By which I mean handed off in bags into either my 1965 Olds or another buddy's 1966 Mustang, and we'd drive around for hours drinking beer and devouring free RR Chicken.
I always felt a little guilty that we played a role in the near-collapse of the RR brand...

When I worked at KFC I lived about four miles out the road.......the only way my mon's husband would come pick me up after work as if I had any take home.......I was too young to drive and the buses quit running at 8 o-clock on Cane Run Rd back in those days.........I usually managed to have a few pcs for the old bugger......
Heh, I just grabbed KFC $20 fill-up (original) for me and Larry.
Speaking of chicken...anybody remember McD's fried chicken? I thought it was really good, but they didn't have it on the menu very long.
Remember I took a business trip to Atlanta and Florida about that time. The McDs in Ohio had fried chicken but no breakfast. Got down South, they had breakfast but no fried chicken. In the end I guess breakfast won out.

A few weeks before I received my discharge at Ft Knox, John Y Brown called me to interview for a job opening. My brother and sister both worked for KFC, when they were young. My brother actually went to their "university" in Louisville to learn how to cook the chicken, etc. My sister worked the cash register and was not involved in the cooking.
I interviewed and the job offered was the manager of a new franchise in New Orleans. I knew a little about the restaurant business having worked at McDonalds on New Circle Rd in Lexington while at UK. I also worked for a moving company, North American Van Lines during the summer months. I did not want either one of these jobs as a career so I said no.
I was recently married and knew I would have to work 12 to 15 hours to get the restaurant up and running and that would not be fair to my new bride. Plus I had a higher paying job ready for me, working 8-5. I may have disappointed my dad because he was working directly for John Y and was making good money and it was an important position. But again, he was older and loved to travel so the job was ideal for him. I had a marriage to put first and above any career.
Visited Harlan yesterday and snapped a few photos. First two pics are memorials to the Harlan County service members who lost their lives in WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Second two pics is from both sides of a memorial to the Harlan County miners who died mining coal. The latter is indeed sobering.
That is a lot of names on their memorials for a relatively small county in the hills of Kentucky. No wonder they are patriotic and conservative. Their men gave their blood and probably women too.Visited Harlan yesterday and snapped a few photos.

I salute with the deepest respect.

Gizzards and grizzled souls, I see a pattern developing here.
Fried chicken for breakfast is a thing........in our house.......fried fish might also be on the breakfast menu if I get lucky......
I worked there pre John Y Brown's ownership......at that time we used pressure fryers that held four chickens each......when John Y came in he converted them over to a mechanized cooker system that made the oil pots obsolete.......those pots were something else.....they would coat up with carbon from sitting over those gas burners all day.....
Whenever i go to cracker barrel for breakfast i always get the catfish, hashbrowns and scrambled eggs, with lots of tabasco.
Only those who actually served could even attempt to know what that looked like and,.... I ate it!
