Wish I had a dollar for every time some guy pulled up to us and said "I used to hole the pole"

GPS was just coming on strong when I retired.
I cut my teeth on a K&E transit.

Speaking of all things Norwegian, here is a photo of Trooper. Our Norsk skogkatt. According to SWMBO all that fuzz on his tummy and tail is a perpetual get out of jail free card.

A defective Weber?

It's a vintage, unused, Weber smoker, in a rare octagon box.
It was for sale here for $100, the owner of the Weber forum contacted the sellers, told them it was under priced and made a $500 offer.
They accepted of course, and I volunteered to pack and ship it to him in California.
Loaded up at the seller's house:

The sellers bought in in the 1990's for $200, but never opened the box until they decided to sell it.
A new one is $300 these days.

Another shot of the box means another post.
Bert would be proud of me.

Also, back then, i could hold the long handled at the end, arm straight out, hammer head straight up, and bend my wrist until the head touched my nose, then take it back up again.

While hoping for no bacon grease on the handle I am sure

Until a few days ago, I thought deer visited our yard only in the springtime; they come to eat the ivy upon the hillside when nothing else is green. The other day I noticed a path up there; apparently they come all year long to eat ivy, but I'm not aware of them when the trees have enough leaves.

Time to put some venison in the freezer.

Yes, the character he played in that flick was extremely naive.

I dunno, eh?

I might be taking the citizenship test next week.

I hear all that is required is to know what colour the flag is, what tree the leaf is from, and knowing the difference between “Canadian” bacon and pea meal bacon.

Eh?

Try pain from pancreatitis.

Feels like you are being run through with a white hot saber.
