Three egggs, spinach, three cheeses, garlic all scrambled up. Chased it with orange juice and coffee now.

The to-do list is long. Don't feel like to-doing any of it.

Happy Friday.

Good Friday Morning to All! It's a rainy 76° on the way to 82° today. Took care of feeding our son's dog, inside/outside cats, and walked his dog. A pleasant drive there and back while enjoying a cup of coffee.

I had 3 eggs scrambled with spinach, cheese and green olives. 3 strips of bacon and an english muffin with avocado. Chased it down with water.

To-do list is half done... went to grocery store for the wife, got gas and now just need to wait for safelite guy to change my windshield.

Sounds beautiful to me, I love that kind of weather especially if it is not windy. Windy is my least favorite weather.

Unfortunately, he has found himself ensnared in a “human trafficking” situation and has been incarcerated for some time. I am working feverishly to get his case transferred to a CA jurisdiction, which, if is successful, we can have him released within a week. Not only that, he’ll be qualified for a number of government assistance programs.

Wish us luck…

Try brining a 7-8 lb shoulder from Sam's club, Hockeydad... (Sam's has bone in, Costco cuts them out). 1 gallon water, 1 cup kosher salt and 1 cup brown sugar. Let the butt sit in that for 24 hours. Pat it dry, slather it in mustard and apply your favorite rub. Let it sit for another couple hours at room temp and then smoke it.

Hickory wood.

Sublime.

Going shooting sporting clays tomorrow with my in-laws. After that head north to meet up with SOB for passing off the box pass. Then home to mow the lawn, then hitching up my log splitter and chainsaw to help a buddy with a tree. If there's enough time left in the day I hope to pick up a skidloader from father in law so I can get started cutting in a driveway extension at my parents house for parking their camper. And then the weekend will be over.

Kids... They grow up too fast. Someone said it here and it has burned in my brain. Paraphrase: Sometimes the days are long but the years go by fast.

Next week is my daughters senior prom. Where did the time go and can I stick a GPS tracker on her back or something without her knowing?

Time only moves in one direction. Kids grow up from infants, toddlers, young kids and turn into teens and then adults. It's fun to watch them grow but damn, it would be nice to have the Ground Hog day (movie reference) and be able re-live some of those days the past. For me, the best times in my adult life is watching them grow and "seeing" things all over again through their eyes. Answering questions of "why" which made me think "why" too. The questions on how does this work? Why do we do that? So I can't color on the walls or stick a fork in an electrical outlet or pretend the dog is a horse to ride? (all true stories).

If they know it or not, I've leaned from them more than I can give back.

Speaking of the Groundhog Day movie. I hear they are going to make a remake of it. It will be the same movie played over and over each day in the theaters.

Bucky you are scaring me, my oldest is in first grade, but I think I know exactly how you feel. Every stage of their lives I want to press pause and make it last longer, but then the next stage turns out to be even better.

Congrats on getting her to this stage in life successfully! I hope you have many more moments of joy with and because of her.

You need some Ben Gay to help with the arthritis and some mothballs to store your winter clothes. Then brew a pot of coffee in the peculator on the gas stove. Those are some of the smells and sounds that I miss when visiting my grandparents.

Yeah, I'm getting old but today will be a good day. Happy Saturday to everyone. Also, Happy Mother's Day (a day early) to all Mother's out there.

Just make sure to go out of your way to be home for dinner every night; and do whatever it takes to spend quality time with them. One on one and together- whatever they want to do. Then they won't grow up too fast and you will establish deeper, more meaningful relationships with them and as a family.

I have no regrets. I was always "present' and engaged. You can be too. Be there when they first walk and all other life milestones.

Ldor v'dor, ("from generation to generation"!!!

Up at 4:00, coffeed up and out the door by 5:30. Did 6.2 miles, had a cigar on the patio and took the '65 Vette out for some exercise and stirred the 4 speed. Stopped off for gas and checked the liquids and tires. Going to meet friends for lunch at a brewery so prolly have some suds and a burger.

Never shot sporting clays but have shot trap and skeet a few times. I'm guessing not knowing when and where the birds are flying is a lot more challenging?

I call it golfing with shotguns. Each station/hole has a different set of challenges. The place we were at had 2 different sized clays in 4 different colors across the stages. You have an idea of where they fly, and they launch on "pull" but 2nd clay launches on report so first shot out 2nd clay flies. Having different chokes in a o/u isn't always advantageous because sometimes you'll have two far throws or two close or a close then far or vice versa. Some roll on the ground, some launch towards you some left to right some right to left some are only in the air for about 2 seconds.

It's a lot of fun, very challenging.

Cleaned the fish tanks. That's about it. Plan on putting in the garden tomorrow.

Frank, if I could just sell some of these carbon credits I could start on our ocean front hotel/lodge.

It's a tough sell right now, considering that it was so cold up here last night that I had to turn the heaters back on--in the middle of May.

I'm trying though. You're going to get the Presidential suite.

You guys have a good weekend.

Once you get past the infant stage, it’s so much fun to spoil them with food and toys that the parents frown upon. Laugh

Sporting clays is one of my favorite hobbies. Ski and golf resort north of me has a fantastic 15 station 100 clay course. Two levels. The advanced level includes a lot of "true pair stands" where both are launched at the same time and some report pair stands. Advanced level has a lot of launchers on hills far behind you and a couple launchers 100ft up in the air on those JLG spider cranes.

So, tried this concoction where you add tequila to a bottle of freeze dried limes and powder. Let it sit sit overnight and you have a bottle of margarita.

I started pouring a standard margarita sized drink when it occurred to me, I'm basically pouring straight tequila infused with flavor. Need to find my funnel now
