My daughter (and thus the youngest grandson) is almost 15 miles from me and more than 50 miles from her in-laws. We’re her baby sitters if she has a doctor’s appointment (and she has many) or if she goes to the gym. Mind you at the moment that grandson is in quarantine: his school called and he...

Tomato gravy over toast is common here in the Southeastern US. First fry your bacon and set it aside. Nextt add enough flour to the grease to make a good roux and cook until the flour no longer tastes raw (Until it begins to darken in color) Pour a tin of tomatoes (liquid and all) into the...

You think a 30 minute travel distance is a long way? To me anything less than 100 miles is local. Most of my life we’ve driven that far just for lunch.

I’m mostly commenting just to follow the discussion as it’s been interesting and informative so far. That said I guess I’m luckier with the map issue. All of our aviation charts and military grade maps are “red light readable.” Basically meaning they don’t have any colors that would disappear...

Very true the rules are different in the UK vs the US. Your foundation license is roughly equivalent to our technician license. You’re restricted to 10w of power but have a much greater range of frequencies than we do with that level. At the same level we’re allowed 100w of power but only a...

Happy New Year to all.

LOL. Yes LOL. Yes: feral.

Autocorrupt interfered with that last post. The last example of the common dangerous critters I encountered while growing up should be "fire ants" not "firearms."

While I was a boy, and then a teenager I and most of the other kids I grew up with were always looking for Panthers when in the woods (cougars) However in that time period they were all but non existant east of the Mississippi River (the only exception being the Florida Panther in Southern...

Merry Christmas one and all ! We had an early Christmas with my daughter and her husband and their youngest son so they could be with his family over the real Christmas. We’ll see their eldest son in about a week and have a Christmas/New Year dinner with him before touring Belingrath Gardens...

I was sitting near the gates of a cemetery late last Thursday night when two young ladies walked up. They were obviously frightened and said they needed to go through the cemetary to look for their car keys (they thought they may have lost them there earlier before dark) they asked if I would...
