Gotta have axle grease fingerprints all over or it just loses some of it's flavor.
Afternoon Feather.
Hilarious read . . .
10. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.
I do this 3 to 5 times/week with all the Foxhole Vets.
Well, I'm off to start the prep work for our little Super Bowl party; I'm preparing Texas Chili. Do you realize at the precise moment that our guests eat they will be the only people in the entire state of California having REAL chili? ;^)
We'll check back later after the rolaids (and game).
Afternoon w_over_w.
