I cannot get it through anyone's head the method(s) to my madness. There is a way to respect you and still do things properly as they were instilled. If anything like me, the Ole eyes start losing there clarity. No doubt you work for a living Sir. 😁
Have a great day!
Good morning from ATX. Currently 38°F and clear with a light wind. Today's high may reach 59°F.
Today is December 1. Another month in the books.
Heading into the office today, so keeping it short.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
My Apple is waiting........................ No PB and definitely no J.😁
Good Morning all,
I am getting along a little better. Still much to do so I do have purpose. We shall see how things break out today.
Have a goodun!

You do excellent work on your stain glass projects. I have a granddaughter at the USAF Academy and a nice piece would make an excellent Christmas present. If you ever find the time I will pay TOP $$$$ for something. Here are a couple of images.
I understand your time is limited and you are very busy but if you want some extra money, you have a customer.
The current temperature is 57° with sunshine and it should get up to 74° by midafternoon. A nice day for sure.
I have to get my blood drawn today for an exam I have scheduled for next week. Other than that it is pilfering time doing odds and ends. The yard is in pretty good shape but I may replace a few plants that deer got to when I was gone for a few days.
I am recovering from my bout with the Kentucky Flu and thankful for warm air and sunshine. It is the best medicine for me. I had no idea Kentucky had so many flu cases until we got up there. Hope they are only mild cases and non Covid.
Take care all and stay on the Sunny Side of Life.

Good morning everyone.
Busy day on the go yesterday. Today, not so much. I loved the movie Devotion yesterday. We only go to one or two movies a year but that was a good one.
Chilly toady but not cold enough to avoid a walk later today. And peanut butter is most likely on tap today. My PB habit started early in life and continues to this day.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Had an open face PB sandwich yesterday (which isn't a sandwich according to me, but my ladies disagree)
I like PB very much myself. There is a time for everything. There is a time for peanut butter, Just not on apples.... Nope, no, nada....
Good thinking. Less carbs, more PB. I do the same thing with crackers. Which reminds me that every time my Dad sees me eat PB crackers he says "You're sure not related to your GrandDaddy (his Dad). He's was so stingy with his PB he couldn't stick 2 crackers together." I remember that about him...and it's not much of an exaggeration. I on the other hand............. lol.
In my Bubba voice (from Gorrest Fump)-
PB an apples
PB am bananas
PB an celery
PB and jelly
PB in eggrolls
PB and honey...

Just ribbing you sir!
Made me remember my grandpa distinctly when we lived in the block house in Noetown. Mom made me some oatmeal. Grandpa was there staying over as he did not want to drive back to where he was living. (Near the Gap somewhere. I was in the second or third grade.). Anyway I asked for sugar and my grandpa came over with a spoon and a large bag of sugar. He put about an eighth of a teaspoon of sugar on my oatmeal saying; "that was enough sugar for four boys." I asked my grandpa; "Can I have enough for ten or twelve boys?". He put another eighth of a spoon on my oatmeal and said I'd be sick later. (One time I remember talking back to my elders, I said Mom. (She was listening). She said; "Daddy, give Dave enough sugar to eat his oatmeal." Grandpa grumbled a bit and then put a spoonful on and I was happy... Grandpa stated again; "Davey, you're gonna be sick." and went about his business.
Just a memory that came back to me....
Oh around that time (We didn't live there a few months but it was winter and we had a coal stove to heat with.) My Dad told me to light the stove as it was winter time and we were cold so I put six or seven scoops of coal in that stove with some kindling and paper. (I knew how to start a fire.) That little pot bellied stove was cherry red for the longest time but we were warm.
(Couldn't go near the stove for the longest time but it was on a metal plate and in the center of the room.)Yeah for a time for sure...
SC, I like a challenge, the top one is a no go, it would have to be painted and I am not good at painting on glass, second one is doable. How big would you want it? Bert challenged me to make something for a friend of his and I think I did ok. I probably could not get it done in time for you but let me see. Just give me a size@cordmaker

Great news Cord, is 4" x 4" doable? That would be a nice size for her desk.
Thanks buddy

The winter of 1982 I spent a lot of time in Detroit negotiating with GM to move the Corvette plant to our property in Bowling Green, KY. It simply gets colder than cold up there. The only thing that saved me was a good Irish bar. The black ice sneaks up and trips you.
Love me some PBJ/H (Honey if not jelly) sandwich and eat it quite often. Also like to take a banana and put peanut butter on a slice with honey. Quick snack if on the go with no time to eat.

Sir,
That was one of my last winters there, I was living in Delray at that time welding on boxcars for Whitehead and Kales in River Rouge, MI.. Making $11.42 and hour when minimum wage was a dollar or two something. Never knew where that dough went but it went... I took drivers training when the car tires never even touched the pavement except on the highway.
Life is like is like a PB and whatever sandwich, you just don't know what will be in it until you look around the kitchen.
On that note, what is the favorite for each of you to put on your PBJ? Me; I like Strawberry preserves the best with chunks of strawberries in it.
Rascal.Yes Sir but a young what?
Some of you have seen pictures of lamp shades we made. We have scaled back and have our building up for sale. If we sell it, we will get something much smaller and do a few things to keep busy. Anyhow one of our customers makes lamps out of liquor bottles. He says he is talking to Cracker Barrell and Jack Daniels. Who knows how it will turn out, but it would be enough to keep us busy without excess work. Time will tell.
BTW for Sawnee, the same customer says his son is friends with Ron DeSantis and that Ron will run for president in 24. Can't verify truth of either statement. People like to talk, but this guy is usually a pretty straight shooter.

PB is my go to snack, meals, everything. My buddies (wife's cousins) use to joke "he's the only man living that would pick a fight with his wife just so he could eat more peanut butter". lol
If I want to lose a few pounds, which is not too often, I just have to remove all the PB from the house.
Grape. I love my Mom's homemade grape jelly, but she doesn't make it anymore.
That is exactly the reason I eat little PB. I love it and I can get a couple sandwiches out of a jar. No limits to the amount of PB on a sandwich... edible... I have none in the house solely due to the fact that............I would EAT it!
"Man's GOT to know his limitations."
Biggest recruiting get of the off-season so far, a 5* long snapper.
I think that this is what Cord was referring to. He made it for my best friend Jessie who was a Deputy:
The glass is relatively large as Jessie is 6'8" tall.
Yep, didn't you have me to make a Deputy badge?I think that this is what Cord was referring to. He made it for my best friend Jessie who was a Deputy:

You never outgrow your need for peanut butter. We go through a lot of it and don't have any children around. I like the natural PB with no additives
That is a tough one because PB goes with anything. A boyhood friend made his PB sandwich with yellow mustard. I use to laugh at him then i tried it. It was gooood.
I l;ike to peel a banana and eat a spoonful of PB with each bite. I can go through a jar pretty fast doing that. I had it last night before I went to bed with a glass of sweet milk.
As far as jams or jelly I prefer guava jelly. Probably because that is what we had growing up. It was the most common jelly mama made but there were others. All good.
The JP and other stuff:
I think so but I could not find my picture. Is it this one?
Sir,
I didn't know you liked Deputy Dog??? 😁 😅
(Remember, I don't have the sense God gave a goose...)
I never get tired of peanut butter. Hell, I'm eating it on Triscuits for lunch as I type this.
In my traveling days when I was going someplace where the vittles might be scarce like Somalia or Rwanda or western Pakistan I'd throw a large plastic jar of crunchy peanut in my shoulder bag. You could usually at least find some sort of local flat bread or naan or whatever, and maybe some local honey. Luck into some goat cheese and maybe some hummus and a man could get by for a couple weeks like that if he had to.
