My back’s killing me. Think I’ll go lie down and give it a listen. BTW, WAMU is available on http://tunein.com/ , but not iheart.
Oh, that’s the pits, Vision. I hope you got all charged back up. :-)
It’s been really nice weather here, but we’re getting ready for a cold front moving in tomorrow. It should bring rain.
Otherwise, no news, which is good news, I suppose.
Hope you like it. What does tune in do for you?
Thanks...
Didn’t know about this and usually nap (nothing worth listening to) until 10 PM when Cunningham comes on to finish the night.
Have you made any fatties yet? This weekend I've been raiding the freezer for bbq and made some chili.
Yeah, everything’s gone up, and it’s not done climbing.
We have not made a fatty yet. We were fascinated with the bacon weave (it doesn’t take much for us :-) and watched a short video of a guy doing one. I thought it was very cool.
Welcome. Hope you stay around.
We might just do that!
Or I might like to make one with mushrooms, onions, peppers, and feta cheese—something like that! It’s a project, either way.
Keith went to get the grill ready and found that someone had stolen our new bag of charcoal briquettes off our front porch. This is an evening ruiner. What might be next?
Someday I'll be making the pecan pig!
Do you live in an urban area? Is it easy to get to the porch?
We live right off the beach just south of the railroad tracks. We live one street from a nice neighborhood between our house and the beach (our street is so-so with rentals and some dirtbaggish people on it), but just north of the tracks is a predominantly “Democrat” neighborhood (one that votes 97 percent for Obama) with steady crime.
