Second hand store find. 1973 copy. $2. Gonna have to resurrect the joy of cooking thread one of these weekends.
I forgot to take a photo of the oven roasted carrots my wife made from this book a few nights ago. They were damn good.
 
I have a robin's nest on my porch. I snapped this pic yesterday.

What a bummer!

I saw NIN and Soundgarden at Red Rocks a couple of years ago. It was amazing! It was very much a high school nostalgia experience for me.
 
What image hosting site are you folks using these days? I use to use Image Shack but they went to a paid service. I'm thinking of a free or free ish service.

Imgur is the only photo-hosting site I've used that felt like it was actually designed for image hosting, Photobucket sucks for hosting and is so clogged with ads it's nearly unusable; flikr is a little better but not much. Imgur actually works well, has a nicely designed mobile app, and is free for all with minimal ads.

KingMC KingMC - So I downloaded Imgur and am having trouble figuring out how to post pics to BF. Would you please be so kind as to give a step by step tutorial?...

Sure, eventually. I'm busy right now...

Simple solution to your current problem is you're copying the album link and not the image link, if you don't get a 'copy image link' option upon tapping and holding you won't get the image link. Once you get a link that starts with 'i.imgur...' then using the 'image' option near the top of the reply box and past the link in the box you get for 'image URL'.
 
Wierd.
It's only giving me "iphone options" when trying to copy it and not seeing the i.imgur link...

I'm basically only getting the option to copy link.
 
Packing up my backpack and tenting stuff for the weekend. A couple of months ago we put the rugrat into cub scouts...this weekend is their camping trip. Her and her bff are the only two girls in the troop...add to that a couple of overly-protective moms, and suddenly I get "volun-told" to go with them lol.

Wouldn't be so bad, but man, this scout group is not remotely organized. At all. There's about 7 or 8 boys, that are just out of control. Types that the parents give no disipline to. Scout leaders seem to have zero authority over them.

So it's gonna be 2 semi-decent acting girls, a half dozen or so screaming boys, a couple of scout leaders outta their league, and me (maybe one more parent). Just got "reminded" that there's no alcohol, even for the late hours of the night. Yeah, yeah, I know. Gonna be a looong weekend. Good thing I've packed my Costco-sized bottle of Advil.

That sounds less than pleasant...

I'm also getting ready for a 2-nighter trip out into the wilderness, gonna try out a new sleeping bag and try to get more used to my hammock setup, plus there may be an airsoft skirmish during our time out there, just for fun of course. Only 3 of us goare my out, but it's our kind of camping so it'll be quiet and relatively booze-y.
 
Looked into doing Blue Apron or a couple of those other mail order meal things, cause I love to cook but it takes a LONG time the way I do it. Turns out, they are stuffed full of CRAP! "Here do this 4 oz frozen salmon on top of a pumpkin puree and that should be enough food."
 
89° here yesterday, 56° right now. Good ol' Illinois weather. My son texted me this morning, and he had 30" of snow on the ground, and it was still snowing.

Well...look on the bright side.
You can squeeze that pumpkin puree all along the base of your home's foundation. That should keep most general rodents and vermin at bay.
Then you can toss that 'lil chunk of salmon out in the middle of the road and start up a rousing game of street hockey!
I'd call that Blue Apron package a win C-Bear! Haha :D
 
99 here the other day with reported 30 inches on the mountain 2.5 or so hours north :D

this is an excellent summary of alien: covenant:

Toss one of these in your bag and you'll always have a sharp blade. Weighs nothing, comes with a ton of paper in three grits, and works just lovely. Under five bucks at Smallfart. You're welcome.

You're full of handy tips. I still have some of those fire-starters we picked up at the Home Despot when we went shopping with Ethan.
