I should have added that these things are great for ice and snow.Fine by me. Didn't really feel like shoveling off my folk's steep driveway again. Really hard to gain a good footing.

If you are talking about Kentucky, Matt Jones was talking about a guy in our government, can't remember his name right now, but anyway he's the one guy that blocks MM from being voted on. He's also responsible for no sports gambling that isn't attached to horse racing.Awesome. I've read favorable reports regarding medical cannabis laws up there.

Subway? 60's-70's.....not the sandwich shop......Remember Karma Records?
They work. Saved me many of times while shoveling.Never saw those before. What kind of name do they give those? Is yaktrax a brand? I guess it is but what are those called? Yaktrax?
Edit: I looked them up. Heck Walmart sells them. These are cool. Wish I had those when I walked to school in the hills of Detroit in the snow. Heck it was up hill both ways!
Yaktrax at Walmart
Nah, across the street from Trinity High School many years ago. Relocated to the Highlands where all good head shops reside.Subway? 60's-70's.....not the sandwich shop......

Vegetable beef stew turned out great. Got the wife's vote of approval. I am miserable full at the moment. 2 large bowls are in. my. belly!
Made 2 gallons so I'll be freezing about half of it.
I haven't made any beef jerky since Dad passed. I made it for him to keep at the nursing home to dissuade him from munching on sweets. I picked up a nice dehydrator at a piddler mall for 10 bucks. It has adjustable temperature for different things. Dried some peppers in there too.Ya'll got me wanting some Chili and Beef Stew.... Gonna talk to my Darling about that in a very few minutes... (I can cook it myself but when I usually start something like that my Darling keeps an eye on me and interjects anyway. (I am glad cause all she has to do is stick her finger in the food and it turns out super!) (I make the biscuits though..)(I do cook a few things.)
I also seriously need some beef jerky! The stuff dreams are made of...

Makes it by the gallon bag...Bye, be back in a bit...
You must have needed protein.While drinking a bourbon tonight I noticed an unusual, unpleasant taste. Turned out a stink bug gained access to the bottom of my glass. Doubt I'll get that taste out of my mouth anytime soon.
If that's the case then I may never do protein again.You must have needed protein.
Unfortunately, libs are pushing for this.If that's the case then I may never do protein again.
That's another case of them having no clue about science. We have claws, our eyes are in the front of our heads, we have incisor teeth, our stomachs contain chemicals to breakdown the protein and turn it into glucose. Yes Karen, we are predators and meat eaters. I guess they think that early humans just ate tofu to get them through the winter when plants were dormant.Unfortunately, libs are pushing for this.

Hey 82, make a post on twitter or tik tok and tell them you caught a great buzz off the stinkbug. They'll become scarce in about a week.
The combined weight of the bugs of the world, is quite a bit more than the combined weight of humans. Every human could eat their weight in bugs and there would STILL be a stinkbug in your bourbon from time to time.
All you have to do is replace the screw top after you take a swig. No bugs!
Someplace in So. America they grind the stink bugs up and use the oil for cooking.......That's another case of them having no clue about science.

I have a daughter who is deathly afraid of bugs and spiders. When she was about 20 years old she moved into an apartment about 20 miles away. I get a call in the middle of the night and on the other end of the line she is screaming bloody murder.Good morning D-League. Slept in late today and it feels great.
Potentially a big sports day today. Go Cats and Go Bigger Cats - Bengals.
I’ll admit I’m one of those people who can’t stand bugs in the house. My wife is the same way. We do get the occasional stink bug here too. Hate those nasty things.
When I was 21, moved to Florida with almost no money and rented a place in Pompano for $25 a week. You can imagine the quality. First night I was in the place I went into the bathroom late. I heard a soft scraping sound inside the medicine chest. When I opened it, big fat palmetto bugs were flattening themselves and pushing out a slot for discarding razor blades in a cascade - in my mind’s eye there were dozens of them. Still rates as a moment of horror out of the Exorcist for me. The bad part -I had no choice but to stay in the place, at least for a while.
That’s hilarious Sawnee. In my career traveling overseas I dealt with, and hated, some ugly ass bugs. In Gitmo back in the late 1980s when it was just a US Naval base, I had been out on an overflight with an E2C Hawkeye crew, monitoring unauthorized flights suspected of smuggling cocaine through the Windward Passage from Colombia to Florida as part of a “War on Drugs” story.I have a daughter who is deathly afraid of bugs and spiders.

Still half a sleep I hear a voice calling out daddy, come help me please help me. Of course I think someone is breaking in her apartment and intend on killing her so I hollered real loud in the phone, do what I trained you to do, get your pistol and have it pointed at the door when they come through your door.
She cried out , daddy you do not understand it is crawling on the ceiling above my bed. What??? A flying cockroach daddy, please come and kill it for me.
These bug stories could go on forever. But I will throw out one more and call it a day. Back in the mid 50's we lived for a time in Coconut Grove, Florida and I attended Ponce de Leon Jr. HS which is in Coral Gables. On the other side of U.S. 1 is the University of Miami.That’s hilarious Sawnee. In my career traveling overseas I dealt with, and hated, some ugly ass bugs.

We get back late, I’m exhausted, and the crew and I stop at a place where they served us burgers and some leafy salad. I’m look down at my plate and, damn, the food is moving. I stab with my fork and two winged insects, half as big as my fist lift off. I’m still not sure what the hell they were but the plane’s crew got huge laughs out of my horror stricken face.

A very nice and very attractive girl had moved down from New York and she sat across from me in our English class. You could tell she was well to do and very meticulous in her dress and demeanor. The perfect young lady. One day during class she stood up and ripped off her shoe because she felt something crawling in it. It was a flying cockroach and it flew straight into her hair. She had brought it from home.
I don't care who you are or how spotless you keep house, if you live in Florida you are going to run across insects and they are going to be in your house. Especially if you have palm trees or shrubs. That is just a fact of life and is no reflection on whether you are a good or bad housekeeper. The poor girl was so embarrassed she start crying as the class laughed at her. That is what Junior High students do. They laugh. In a few minutes she was laughing too.
I wonder whatever happened to her. She was a beauty. She probably ended up on the cover of Vogue Magazine.
