First batch of potato soup of the season in the slow cooker.

'Bout went blind in my left eye from hot bacon grease hitting me there. Luckily, just hit the orbital bone. But yikes.

I just had some leftover chicken noodle soup I made this week. It was a dang good soup, if I do say so myself. I make a cheeseburger soup that is pretty much a different twist on potato soup, that was our first soup of the fall. I love soup, but everyone else here does not share my affinity. Too bad, I am the one who cooks.

Got another 11 bags filled before the wet snowy stuff made me think that was enough for today. Kinda wet. Doing leaves in the snow or under lights after dark is kinda standard procedure here at the garden Boxster. The ginko didn't even drop it's leaves till last night.

Making soups is one of the few good things about winter.
My usuals are
Vegetable Beef
Chicken Noodle
Taco

Observation: wrestling snow tires and rims into the Audi trunk was a lot easier before I ****** up BOTH my shoulders. Also easier when tires and rims weren't so ******* yuge. Guess I could have asked for help but there is that pesky fine print on my Man Card.

Wine and ibuprofen time.

I can now bench 110. Sort of. A year ago, it was 90, Should have hit me up. Kids now think they can get me to bench more than I weigh lol. That is not happening. Maybe I can lift 132 pounds of chocolate into my mouth.

Tried What's Smoking BBQ tonight. Pretty good fairly limited menu. Brisket and beans were good the pulled pork was ok. Friendly people work there. Only serve ribs on Mon. nites so have to try them some other time.

Nice! I can’t even bench more than I weigh. Although the bench press was never anything I cared for.

Well, you could handle these tires as they weigh 55-60 pounds or so. It's just an awkward size and lift into the trunk and then getting all four pushed around to get them all in (with backseat down). It's one of the two or three times a year where an SUV would be more convenient for me then a sports couple but a SUV just isn't me. Is making me think about getting the worst of the two rotator tears repaired this winter.

Brother had one doctor tell him he had torn rotator cuff, but another said it was just frozen shoulder and he was able to PT it away.

I don't like it either but my teenage not professional trainers are convinced that it is a way for me to keep weight on in addition to eating a bunch of eggs, protein powder, etc. I guess it helps some.

Not exactly sure.
@BCClone how are you coming along. We finished yesterday, just field work left. Tomorrow is repair day need to replace some broken lug bolts.

Little over a week left. This cold weather has really slowed down dryers. Then its a matter of pumpers showing up and going crazy on fieldwork then. Your area seems get planted sooner and harvested sooner than mine.

Where did you get that? If i'm thinking of the right ones, I know the whole family fairly well. Done plenty of business back and forth with them.

A pick up would solve your problem quickly.
