    My mom worked for Walt Disney and they'd go across the street from the Hyperion studio and have lunch at the Tam O' Shanter. Walt ordered a Scotch Mist with Buchanan's. You can still visit the Tam'O Shanter, sit in their same booth and once again Buchanan's is available,, or was last visit...

    Using it I quickly learned the grill temp can be 50 to 30 degrees less than the thermometer. That of course is way important when smoking.

    Ok,,, now that 'splains my bad memory. Four original schools: "Some theorize that Ivy is actually a misnomer and the league was originally called the IV League because it consisted of four schools: Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Dartmouth" It may have been an old National Geographic article I...

    You are correct sir: “… likely derives from the popular 19th-century ceremony of "planting the ivy," an evergreen plant symbolic of enduring growth, on college and university campuse“ No clue where I heard 9. Maybe confused with Radcliffe and Harvard merging.

    Is there anything to the oak bbl Whisky tale that’s secured on the deck of a ship to be exposed to the salt air and rocked and rolled for a long spell?

    Blantons. At one time widely available but since Covid bar owners tell it’s tough to get. It may be regional shortages. Friends back east say widely available. Late night sitting at a 100+ year old bar out in the desert a cowboy came in and bought me a shot. Good stuff. Last bottle and the...

    At one time long ago the Ivy League schools allowed student and faculty to be on the sports teams. Even the custodians qualified to play. It was all about camaraderie and sportsmanship. That’s all gone now. Edited for accuracy in content.

    What's the deal with flies ?

    These are really effective hung around the property. Hang them out of reach of kids: Wife bought a couple of these $28 delivered from Amazon. Sounds like hitting a side of beef with a canoe paddle when it takes down a fly or ‘skeeto. Very effective.

    Wife’s got two weeks off coming up. We may head to central Texas. Goldie’s is to BBQ smoked meats lovers like Mecca to the Arabs, wailing wall to the Jews, Wrigley field to baseball fans, Gettysburg to Civil War buffs. Then Blacks Austin, and though not a BBQ joint, and Bob Wills bus is no...

    Our kids love the Walmart take and bake Pizzas. Tastes varied I guess. Depends on what part of the USA you’re in. Different suppliers. I like Stuffed Santa Barbara olives but they are $8 a jar. Santa Barbara Olives puts Walmarts label on their jars and I find the same olive for 2.79. Jimmy...

    I'm pretty sure it was a special edition run exclusive to Walmart. Not an $800 unit and evidently others felt the same. I only go to Walmart for expensive items. To me anything over $100 is expensive. GoodYear 14 ply steel trailer tires now well over $500 each everywhere. I needed 6 of...

    Didn’t cost us a dime. GM lemon lawed our 2020. Couldn't have afforded it otherwise. We bought a new 2015 at a HUGE discount and struggled through the payment. It was tough. worked all the overtime I could get, wife too. Then traded it in on the 2020 that was discounted and they gave us more...

    That's our youngest frying. A kid that was a real picky eater growing up. 3 item menu. If it wasn't for vitamins who knows how his health would end up. He got into college at 14 and invited into a fraternity. Positive peer pressure - he'll now cook and eat anything. Still skinny but adventurous...

    Wife’s hospital was short of skilled nurses so they recruited from Europe. Five year contract gave them US citizenship, extra pay and a starting salary of $150k + OT and bennies galore. Romanian nurses didn’t get 1/20 of that back home. Excellent educations girls brought up to speed fast...

    We plan to hit all the Central Texas places like Goldie’s Blacks Austin, Snows etc. Goldie’s on Sunday to avoid the line is the tale. We considered the Amtrack and rent a car but GMC came through with our ‘24 truck finally and we’ll RV it instead with the trailer.
