“Sen. John Kerry, who has repeatedly voted to raise taxes while in Congress, dodged a whopping six-figure state tax bill on his new multimillion-dollar yacht by mooring her in Newport, R.I.”

I remember that. Thanks for posting it for us.
You’re welcome.
No plans for a meal tonight, but plenty of yummy leftovers from last night.
I baked 2 large eggplants with 2 sticks of butter and a cup of brown sugar for a base.
Also, I baked 2 casserole dishes full of boneless chicken thighs, smothered in a large can of cream of chicken soup, and a large can of cream of mushroom soup, with 6 Roma tomatoes, 1 yellow onion, 2 cups celery and 2 cups of potatoes, and a cup of milk. I forgot to add in seasonings, so the 2 soups kind of covered for the omission.
Lastly, I cut 4 cucumbers up and placed them in a vinegar and brown sugar solution. They were so-so, just needed a little more time to soak up the vinegar and brown sugar. I should make up a large batch as the vinegar is bound to preserve them until consumed.
I marinated the chicken in vinegar, but didn’t start early enough. I’m soaking the next batch in vinegar for 24 hours, plus adding in some black pepper, and garlic salt in the marinade.
All the knives need sharpening in the knife storage block, so I went with the large serrated knife- the widow maker. Well, I got spanked with it but good, by being careless and or cutting too fast. I’ve a whole new respect for that kitchen tool.
Wow, sounds delicious. Need to pull my knife sharpener but have been procrastinating..........
Have been thinking about you. Glad you are OK !

Good money in Black Walnuts. Unfortunately am extremely allergic to them and their pollen
A proper use for black walnut, a custom shotgun I had made for my 50th. Shows orange highlights in the sun.
Beautiful.
That picture really speaks to me. It’s those dedicated front of the line folks, that get in first. I’ve been on exactly one crowd line in all of my political junkie days.
President GWB, came to Springfield, IL, to the old Armory. We were one of the first in line, getting there at the crack of dawn. I shook his hand and said- We’re praying for you Mr. President. He said- That’s the best thing you can do.
I held a micro tape recorder in my left hand and recorded the exchange. A young man that I know and that I have befriended, taking him to professional baseball games, who is developmentally challenged, would come by a little office that I rented in a building he cleaned the restrooms in, to hear the tape, over, and over, and over again.
If he saw me outside my office in town somewhere, he would come up to me and say what I said to President Bush- We’re praying for you Mr President. I would then quote the President’s lines back to him- That’s the best thing you can do. Of course, I was expected to say those lines each and every time he saw me, as the exchange was a bit of a game between us. Fun stuff. I earned the honor of him calling me Uncle Perry. ;O)
It pays to get up just one time in your life, ahead of everyone else, and be at the front of the line, for something that is meaningful to you. Meeting the President was cool, but I treasure the back and forth with “Timmy” and nobody else in that town has that relationship with him, nor do they know what the heck we’re talking about when we do it.
Get in the front of that line!!! Woot! Woot!
My neighbor was quite a craftsman. He build a beautiful round pedestal table with two leave out of a black walnut brought down in a storm on our property. I tell people I knew the tree that the table was made from.
Beautiful table.
That is beautiful, T_S!
Some nice stick on this one too.

I’m a fool for good looking guns.
