Good morning everyone:)

Good morning Michelle:) Rick bought ribs yesterday at Costco..like we have room in the freezer..sheesh! He bakes them with his rub then throws them on the BBQ for flavor..glad your neck is better!

Sorry I've been absent lately..lots going on:)

DONNA! Bestie from the Westie! Frankieanne is another Bestie from the Westie! She's a wonderful lady as well:) I'm afraid I'm the only FSW out of the 3 Westies..haha
So good to see you! I'm glad Brad is mending well, but hate that he still experiences pain..we have missed you..so cool that both you & Lori are back:)

We're getting ready for Thanksgiving, we'll have my family here..i want to get a 20 lb turkey so there are plenty of leftovers to send home with everyone:) We love turkey day:) Rick will make pumpkin pies (he makes they every year the day before) I' make the stuffing the night before..we like to prep as much as possible before Thanksgiving:) I do wish I had 2 ovens..even though I'd only use both once a year:)

Well, need to get this day going..TGIF!!!!!!!!! Have a great day all!

Good morning from sunny Saskatchewan
It is finally warming up for the weekend and we may even get above freezing today so perfect Friday weather.
Last night we had friends over for supper and I picked up chipotle maple pork tenderloin from the butcher counter at Sobey's and served it with cauliflower and cheese sauce, a mixed green salad and yams mashed with butter and maple sugar. It felt like a bit of a cheat since very little required my doing anything but not burning it but it turned out well and even the kids ate it.
Not sure what tonight will bring but there's a good chance we will go out if the kids are all busy. Have to get to work now but will try to post again later. All the talk of ribs has me thinking of having some of those too. Wishing everyone a happy Friday,
Michelle B.

Good Morning Michelle! Hurray for Bri on her last day of school before the Holiday break. How fun! And how fun for them to go to your Mom's place for a few of those days as well. Do you and Michael have anything special planned for when they're there? Ribs sound wonderful. Glad to hear your neck is better too. Giggle at the funnies. I love that first close up of the Turkey. :)
Morning Marie! Now you guys are going to have me craving ribs!!!!! :) Your house will smell so wonderful with Rick's pumpkin pies baking. Have fun with all your prep.
'Mock neck' yep...that's it Donna, thanks. :)
Grinning at all the people who love 'chicken' stuff. :)
Tina, how did it go with the girl at work having her baby have you heard? How's your finger this morning? Not to be an old grouch, but I don't agree with your statement " I guess we have to let dads be dads and be grateful they are with us." All the power to you if you can feel like that, but again I don't feel that I need someone in my life who is nasty or thoughtless to me regardless if they are a parent or not. Infact personally, I think a parent should be loving and kind and if they aren't, then they don't deserve to have a child who is loving and kind to them. I know I sound harsh. Just had to say it. :) And what is this Cards against Humanity game? I tried to Google it but didn't really get the gist.
Cool info on the carbs Lori.
Laurie that is so fun that your friend won that Justin Timberlake contest. That's awesome! LOL @ her call to her sister. :)
Hey Michelle! Glad you're getting some warmer weather. I think our temps are supposed to go above zero next week as well. A Chipolte Maple pork tenderloin sounds wonderful. Happy Friday back at ya!
Well....when I got home from my errands yesterday Jim was already home. He'd been let go. I was quite shocked. Not the way one likes for things to end, but "Que Sera, Sera". :)
We are totally fine. Infact, Jim's been thinking about retiring and may very well choose that route. High Tech is a high stress, fast paced career with lots of highs and lows. He worked for his first company for 19 years and with this one for 8 1/2 which is quite amazing as a lot of people change it up every couple of years. He'll take a couple of months just to think about things and what he would truly like to do, and go from there. I've had such a wonderful time travelling abroad with him the last few years. It was a fairy tale experience and I will remember each and every moment (ya right, like I can remember anything for long) :) with great fondness.
We have tickets this evening to go see Chris Hadfield (Famous Canadian Astronaut) speak at the National Arts Centre. Gotta figure out something to make for dinner.

Oh yay Marie! I'm so glad you mentioned Ricks Rib Rub! I am going to whip that up but use coconut sugar in place of the brown. Sounds like your Thanksgiving plans are coming together nicely and it's always a good thing to have everything prepped up as early as possible :) I'm with you on wanting that double oven!

Did I just hear warming up and maybe above freezing in the same sentence Michelle? Lol! I think your dinner last night sounded delicious!!

Hi Janet!! No plans yet for Michael and I, but the time they are keeping them, he only has one evening off, so not much to plan! Oh my on Jim being let go! At least y'all are okay with it and maybe it will all be for the better :) Good that you got lots of great memories that you will (hopefully) always remember :P I think we all lived vicariously through your adventures :) Have a great time this evening!

LOL @ "Warming up and maybe above freezing" Michelle. :) What you say is very true. I remember when Jim left his first company. It really threw him for a loop for a bit but in the end it couldn't have been a better thing! I'm quite intrigued with how this scenario will play out.
So....of course I've heard the age old debate about whether it is safe to cook your dressing in the turkey or out but this morning I read a short post from Alton Brown on the topic and I need clarification.

He says: "When it comes to turkey, stuffing is evil. That’s because stuffing goes into the middle of the bird and is extremely porous. That means as the turkey around it cooks, juices that may contain salmonella bacteria soak into the stuffing, which then must be cooked to a minimum of 165 degrees F in order to be safe.
Getting the stuffing to this temperature usually means overcooking the turkey. They way I see it, cooking stuffing inside a turkey turns the turkey into a rather costly seal-a-meal bag.
If you’re a stuffing fan, I suggest cooking it separately (in which case it’s “dressing,” not stuffing) and inserting it into the bird while it rests (to collect the turkey juices). Odds are no one will notice the difference"

My question is this.....so the inside of the turkey, including the juices, may not be at 165F when the turkey meat itself is, but somehow it's okay to put the dressing in there then, as opposed to before? Wouldn't it be possible for the juices to still have some salmonella hanging around?
Plus, why have I never ever in my whole 54 years never heard of anyone that I know that has ever been sick from eating dressing stuffed inside a turkey and this is the way it has been done all that time?

Janet - Wow on Jim being let go. His work record sounds great, especially since I gather from what you said that that field is noted for constant turnover. Since he has thought about retiring, anyhow, this may work out just fine. Wayne retired (for the second time) a few years back and enjoys it thoroughly.

Don't know what the Canadian system is like, but in the states you can put in for unemployment compensation as long as you show you are seriously looking for work. I worked in the Unemployment Comp. office in Indianapolis, Indiana a zillion years ago but I imagine it has changed somewhat since then.

Hi to Marie, Donna, Michelle.

I froze to death in the tent this morning although it was in upper 20s and I had toe warmers on my socks to keep my feet from getting too cold. It is a damp cold that eats into you. We succumbed to the lure of biscuits and gravy at the restaurant in Edgar Springs and had a big breakfast! Wayne is debating whether or not to take the "chair blind" and tromp down in the woods this afternoon. I am staying inside although if it was not so windy I would go across to the side field and hunker down -- it is heavily wooded and lots of underbrush.

No deer this morning. Heard one in the leaves but didn't see it. Invisible deer? Chameleon (GMO) dna? LOLOL.

NPMarie 9 years ago said:

Hi Michelle B! WOW on your freezing weather..so good to see you:)

Michelle, I think you'll like the rub! Coconut sugar will be just fine..just as long as you have a tad bit of sweetness:) I wish Rick would just do his ribs tonight..have I mentioned my freezer is full of all of his stuff? haha

Janet..I have always cooked stuffing in the bird..I believe the temp of the turkey is usually around 170F and the stuffing should always be 165F..I have used a Reynolds cooking bag and that helps keep the turkey moist since it cuts the cooking time down quite a bit...a 20 lb stuffed turkey takes aprox 3 1/4 to 4 hours with the cooking bag..without the bag takes about 6 - 6 1/2 hours:) I might just use the cooking bag again this year:)

TGIF for sure!!

Oh my goodness. Janet. I am so sorry about Jim's job. But I'm glad to hear you are fine and he may even retire. There is something to be said for retiring while you are young enough to enjoy it. You may not remember why you walked in to the kitchen but you will remember those trips forever. :) Enjoy your nite out.

Hi Michelle, so glad your neck is better. I'm happy you liked the chicken and white BBQ sauce. The kids get a week for Thanksgiving? Ours only get Thurs and Fri. Does your husband work nights all the time? Bryan does 2 weeks of days and 2 weeks of nights. I wouldn't know if I was coming or going. Lol. You and Marie are killing me with all these ribs. I'm thinking that will be good next weekend. I have some in the freezer.

Hey FSW!!! Missed you! I forgot about Ricks rub too. I gotta check that out again. Your Thanksgiving plan sounds great. Prepping ahead is a good thing!

Hey Michelle B. sounds like your dinner was a huge success. Such a great idea to do that when people are coming. I call it smart, not cheating! I love Barefoot Contessa and she's always showing how she cooks some and picks up some other things for her dinner parties. :).

Gotta post this and go clock in from lunch. Back soon!

Glad you are finally having a relaxing day, Michelle. Now everyone has me craving ribs as well:) Your kids are very lucky to have such great grandparents to take them quite often for a few days. It is good for the kids them and you:) Glad to hear your neck is feeling all better now. Oh what is the name of that interactive toy you just bought for Caiden recently? LOL I don't always have a mind like a steel trap:) I am buying toys for our “Christmas Angel Tree”, it to give kids who are less fortunate a better Christmas. We always give money for it as well as to our local Food Bank. So far I have bought Tonka Trucks and I am also looking for some nice looking dolls. So far no luck and I thought something like what Caiden has would be a good idea as well.

Marie, You are so lucky Rick enjoys cooking and making pies. I know I would be dreaming LOL or having a nightmare if I saw Den doing something like that! LOL @ being the only FSW from the Westies:) Don't overdo it and have a great day!

MichelleB, I am going to have to look for one of those chipotle maple pork tenderloin. It sounds very yummy indeed! It is a nice sunny day here and we are supposed to get temps above freezing I believe
by Sunday?

Janet, OMG! What a shock for Jim! At least you are going to be O.K. with it and it might be the best thing that has ever happened. You never know what is going to be around the next corner. I am sure he received a good severance package with a few extra benefits. I am sure Jim will enjoy retirement too! I have never heard of anyone being sick from eating in my whole 65 years either! I was taught to rub a turkey with salt. It clean the insides and outsides then rinse well and that will get rid of bacteria. I do that with whole chickens or Cornish game hen as well. I love to see Chris Hadfield speak.

Karen, I would stay in an keep warm too:)

Hi Lori:)

Den will have his grilled rib eye steak tonight with oven fries. I have been craving sausages lately, so I might do a couple of them with mashed potatoes and corn? I better go get some lunch, I am famished. LOL I have been typing forever!

Happy TGIF everyone!

Oh Janet, what a shock indeed for Jim..and you! So happy to hear you will be ok..brings back memories when both Rick & I lost our jobs about the same time..it was scary for us..but we're doing just fine my dear:) Good things will come of this..I just know it:)

Oh gosh..SP Karen,,I just knew I was taking too long to type:) Don't let your sweet DH know I'm rooting for the deer:) Run little deers run! WOW on your temps! I'm freezing here and it's 50F..I'd never make it in a cold climate:)

Hi Lori! Year, FSW is alive and well:) I JUST love having 2 different personalities, keeps Rick on his toes..LOL

Hi Joce:) Believe me, I cringe when Rick starts doing his "pie" thing in the kitchen..he makes the biggest mess (he does clean it up) and pie filling usually spills in the oven and bakes to a nice crispy black...and smokes..ahh well, at least I don't have to make the pies!!! Have a splendid day dear!

Off to make a bank deposit..I'll be back:)

Janet, I think Alton Brown is fantastic and I love to watch him on the few times I can drag my HB away from CSI-NCIS-Elementary-Forever and the like. But I have also always stuffed my turkey and will continue to do so in spite of the invasion of the "kitchen police." (The same dudes who tried to ban raw milk in favor of chemical laden pretend milk! Don't get me started.)

The secret is to remove the stuffing as soon as the turkey is out of the oven and put it in a casserole dish. If you want to keep it hot, just put it in the oven for a bit while the turkey rests / is carved / whichever you do. I always have too much to fit in the turkey. -- Don't want any exploding birds -- Bwahahaha! So I have a dish of in-bird and one of out-of-bird stuffing / dressing. The in-bird is definitely more moist and yummy.

Wayne is taking a nap before going out. Since I have personally experienced him dozing in the tent, I seconded the motion. His buddy claims to doze in the blinds on the days he goes out at 5 A.M. to get the early-bird deer. I fail to see how anyone could fall asleep in a cold, condensation-dripping tent. (Janet, we are going to look for the waterproofing stuff, probably tomorrow since it will be too cold / rainy to hunt.)

May go to Springfield on Wednesday if the furniture comes in. Bass Pro is having a huge sail but I think it will be far too crowded. I can, however, drool at the thought of the goodies that are on sale. LOLOL.

mommyluvs2cook 9 years ago said:

I have never cooked a turkey Janet to know if I would stuff the turkey or not stuff the turkey! Okay so one side of the family cooks the stuffing separately and the other side of the family cooks it inside the turkey. The side that cooks it inside the turkey always overcooks the turkey anyway, so I'm never worried if the stuffing is underdone lol! Nothing like dried out turkey :P

Sorry your toes froze Karen, stay as warm as possible!! Yum on biscuits and gravy, a true weakness of mine. Lol at exploding the turkey, wonder if that's really ever happened over stuffing it HAHA!!

Lol Marie, I seem to have the same problem with full freezers. I have 3 of them, and they are full always, no matter how much I try and cook out of them and limit myself from putting stuff in them! Did rick buy turkey ribs so you could eat them? J/K!! :P

Hi Lori, yes the kids get the whole week off! Our school systems a LONG time ago (when my parents were in school) used to be only Thur. And Fri. They made it a week because so many people were complaining there was not enough time to go out of town if needed. I love it! Michael does shift work, switches from nights to days 1 set per week, 12 hour shifts. Michael works at an oil refinery, what does Bryan do?

Joce, my parents would probably try to keep the kids even more if Bri wasn't in school lol! They just love having them over :) I think the toy you may be talking about is Scout? There is also a girl version named Violet. It's a good toy for the ages 2-5. Caiden had his old when since right before he was 2 and broke it so I recently just had to go replace it. I think it would be an awesome gift for the toy drive! Both yours and Dens meals sound good to me!!

Thanks for all your kind words and support everyone. I really appreciate it. It's a sad day. :(
I don't think I have the fortitude to sit in a cold, damp tent that early in the morning Karen. :) But biscuits and gravy sound like a nice way to warm up, especially if sausages were involved. :) (I hear about Biscuits and gravy here on ODD all the time but I've never eaten that. I'm sure I would like it) LOL @ getting you started re: the kitchen police. Canada does have, what we call, "Unemployment Insurance". I think the max pay-out is $514/week. Not sure how it works when a person gets a Severance paid out, as Jim does, but he'll look into all of that. We have an appointment with our Financial Advisor all lined up for next week as well as one with a Lawyer just to make sure Jim's pkg. is fair. One must look out for themselves.
Time will tell if Jim decides to call call it quits on the workforce or not. If I were a betting woman I'd say he'll go find another job. I can't see him being content just to putter around the house at this point. Part time might be an answer.
Interesting on the salt rub Joce. Can't remember if I mentioned it in here or not, but when we were in the Niagara area back in August my BIL cooked a turkey on the BBQ Rotisserie. My SIL prepared it first and she must have washed the thing for 20 minutes straight. I kid you not. She said her Mom had always brainwashed her to CLEAN the turkey methodically before cooking it which personally I found odd. It's just a big chicken for heavens sakes. Shortly after that I was reading an article online about washing turkeys and the author said that you spread more bacteria around with the water splashing off the turkey and into your sink or onto your counter-tops than you would by 'not' washing your turkey, plus its the job of the oven to cook the bacteria to a temperature where it kills them so washing or no washing they're dead in the oven after that temperature is hit. I didn't bother relaying that information to her . Didn't want to make her feel bad. I'd love a Rib eye steak tonight please. :) Although sausages are yummy too.
I think that "Scout" toy would be a fantastic idea for the Christmas Angel tree.
LOL @ two personalities Marie. I love them both. :) And you and Rick have done wonderfully since you both lost your old jobs. And I'd hazard a guess that you are both a lot happier too. :) (And I totally knew you'd be rooting for the deer) :)
LOL Michelle at the inside stuffing turkey always being over done anyway. That's funny. 3 freezers? Really? Wow! And I've always thought of Joce as the freezer queen. :)

Janet, I know it's a sad day..you have everything in order it seems, so you will be just fine:) Part-time would be great if Jim couldn't handle being retired..that way, you will have time to travel and do the fun things you both enjoy doing together:) Yes, we are happier..I couldn't imagine going back to work for someone again..I have a problem with being "told" what to do..you could say I have found my inner "FSW" That also comes with age..I'm the type of person who says it like it is and boy, does it feel good:)
Ha! I KNEW you'd say that..I'd be totally rooting for the deer:)

Michelle, oh Gawd, I am so jealous! THREE freezers! So cool!
HA! HA! Turkey ribs..you are too funny!

Back to work:)

Good4U 9 years ago said:

Janet, I was thinking the same thing. I don't think Jim could sit still long enough to retire, unless he took up a woodworking hobby or something to keep him busy like that? I have read up on the water thing with turkey and fowl etc. LOL I do bleach the kitchen down whenever there is meat and things involved. I can be a very very anal about cleaning up after that! Especially when we divvy up meat for the freezer from the grocery store.

LOL I knew Marie, would be rooting for the deer as well:) I know I could not harm one.

Generally, a legal severance package here is, 1 weeks pay for every year served up to 26 weeks max. Then after the designated time allotted by EI, Jim can receive EI. They may also pay for courses and other education too? He may have some health benefits covered for a few months. I would look into that as well, just in case and get dental, eyes, prescriptions etc. done while he is still covered by work. Of course we don't have to worry about being covered by OHIP, (Ontario Hospital Insurance Plan) which covers the really big things like hospital bills and doctor bills. All we do is show are card and that is it.

Ta Da! Michelle has just been crowned "The New Freezer Queen". Thanks, for the info on Scout and Violet. I found them both on Amazon:) I also found some adorable soft floppy Gund Teddy Bears there as well:)

Well GOOD GRIEF! Either I am blind and didn't see a whole lotta posts on my phone or there was a whole lotta postin' goin' on! :)

I will never remember everything I wanted to say. I know you all hate that. lol

I LOVE ALTON BROWN!! and I LOVE My Mom's stuffing that goes INSIDE the bird. Ive been eating it for 50 years, and I haven't gotten sick yet. I'm with Karen on the food police! I see peopole throw food out if it's been sitting out for 30 minutes. Seriously people??? (Don't get me started, either). It can sit out for a while before you put it up. It may get a little somethin' somethin' at a certain temp from sitting out...but...you are gonna REHEAT it to the temp that kills that somethin' somethin' anyway. Never been sick from that, either. :) I leave frozen meat, chicken included, in the package in the sink to thaw all day while I'm at work. Never been sick from that, either. OK. I'm stopping now.

OMG on washing the turkey! That's just hilarious to me.

Janet, I kinda agree with you on parents being loving and kind. My brother NEVER goes around my dad, at all, unless it's a holiday. And then my sister the princess strong arms him. I can't say I blame him. It's really kinda pitiful, when you see Dad saying "I know he doesn't want to be around me". I wonder if he will admit to himself that it's his own fault...but enough of that. Sounds like you all have things all lined up to be sure you plan well and make the best decisions. Very smart. Unemployment here is based on what you earned in the previous 3 (or 4?) quarters.

Karen, I'm with Janet on not having the fortitude to sit out in that cold! But I'm all in on the biscuits and gravy. (Janet, we have to get you some biscuits and gravy somme how, some way!). Yes, taking the stuff out and putting it on the platter is what Mom always said, too. As soon as the turkey has rested. I love stuffing. Mom's was different than the dressing. But that whole spiel is on the TG thread, so I won't repeat. I'm long-winded enough as it is. :) LOL @ the exploding turkey. Too much stuffing is a good thing. I love it.

LOL Marie @ 2 personalities!! I'd be afraid, very afraid, if Bryan were to cook, or bake. Sometimes he offers to "help" and he will get the worst steak knife in the drawer...doesn't even cut butter let alone a steak...to chop onions or potatoes. Gotta love him. Have Rick put the pies on top of a baking sheet to catch the spillage.

Joce, I love that you are giving to the different organizations! That toy would be a great gift. (Thanks for the info...I have to check it out for my 4 year old grandboy). I always envy Den's Friday night rib-eye. That's my favorite cut! I've seen that rubbing salt on the turkey before on FN, but I think they let it set for a day or tow, then rinsed it...but it sounded more like a flavor/brine thing than cleansing. I have never done the turkey, so I didn't pay close attention.

Michelle, Bryan works at Kimberly Clark. He runs multi-folder 2. lol It's this gigantic machine that makes the tri-fold paper towels in the restroom dispensers. You really have me wanting ribs. 3 freezers?? #jealous. lol

My boss and I went to AC Moore today and bought some new decorations for the suite. Love working for the Anti-Dragon Lady! We are also going to have a contest for everyone to decorate their workspace. I am in the front lobby, so I don't really have my own space...so we have to come up with a space for me. lol Can't really count the decorations we bought for the lobby as me decorating my space. The are having a huge sale...made me want to go back and get some Christmas things. I changed my tree decorations a couple of years ago, and bought these pretty beads to use in place of garland...but I only have enough to do half the tree! We have to spread them out and you can't even see them. Can't find any more like them...not really beads...they have presents, and holly, etc, So I'm going to use them somewhere else and find something to replace them for my tree.

Bryan's on nights, no cooking for me. I want to make my grocery list and do my housework tonight, so I have the weekend free to do some prowling around and go play with my kiddos.

Better get back to work! Later!

OH Laurie! Very cool on the JT tickets your friend won! Hil texted me a few weeks ago, she had just found out he was coming to Nashville. I immediately went online to get 2 tickets for her Christmas (or 3 if her boyfriend wanted to go! lol Cause I'd love it!) and it was already sold out! So was the Knoxville show. :(

My oldest GS detests hunting (but he seems to chow down on burgers etc. quite nicely, which seems a bit odd) so he is also rooting for Bambi.

Yep, the "kitchen police" are alive and well in the U.S. Closely followed by the safety police who want to remove swing sets from playgrounds. Now, didn't I say don't get me started. LOLOL.

Biscuits & gravy are great - you can have the sausage. There is plenty in the gravy.

Here are several recipes on GR - there are others but I thought these sounded more like the real thing. I have never made them, just eaten them in restaurants or at someone's home..

Country Sausage Gravy For Biscuits has same picture as:

Country Sawmill Gravy For The Biscuits.

Sausage Gravy And Biscuits - uses Worcestershire sauce, and:

Cat Head Biscuits And Sausage Gravy Ci Mountain Sausage Gravy For Biscuits.

I cheated and had bacon, eggs, hash-browns, and biscuit with side of gravy instead of toast. And two wonderful cups of HOT coffee.

Well Wayne must be at the far tent on the top of the hill by now. I better clean the kitchen before it walks away on its own power. And figure something for supper. He has the other 2 way radio so if he needs me for anything he will give a shout. He took the Gator so I will have to bring the pickup if he hollers.

SP Karen. I don't think I could get Jim to eat Biscuits and Gravy and if I made some I'd eat them all myself and that wouldn't be so good either. I'll just live vicariously through you guys. :) I eat enough bad stuff on my own. I think there's a lot of people that eat meat that wouldn't want to hunt for it themselves. Me included. :) LOL.
Can't figure out dinner. Took some chili out of the freezer and wanted Chili dogs but of course I have no hot dogs and don't feel like running to the store. I do have a can of salmon in the pantry I could turn into sandwiches or we may just grab something quick on the way in. Jim doesn't really feel like going out tonight but I think it might be a good thing just to get his mind off of things.

Ha! Lori! He DOES put the pies on a baking sheet! LOL Now, you understand me being a little stressed when my sweet boy is in the kitchen..:)

Joce, ditto on the deer:) I like shooting them with my camera...my grandparents hunted deer..so I have been around it. Also, if people don't hunt, there's overpopulation of deer and they could starve..but, I'm with you..I couldn't do it..pull the trigger..nope..not me:)

Janet..ha:) my inner FSW..I can be pretty witty at times..LOL

Karen, love me some biscuits & gravy! I have heard deer come around more when it rains? Where did I hear that I wonder?

Pizza for dinner:)

Deer come around after rain / storm ends, or so they say in these parts. It is windy and cold so they are staying out of open places. The saying is 18 hours before and after a change in the weather (I should rent out my hip weather forecaster predictions) esp. if it is severe. I wish I could upload a video of the deer / etc. here - they are so pretty when they move. But my laptop program is rather old, and it doesn't let me "snap" a pix from one frame of a video, much less upload one.

We got a game camera video of a dog chasing a deer on our place. It is obviously well fed, owned but I don't know whose.. The only neighbors who have one that distinctive color have a short haired lab mix and this dude is long haired and shorter legged.

Wayne is good at cooking but he sort of forgets to clean up after himself. So many times I sweep crumbs and clean up grease -- it must be a man thing.

It is 4:45 and I did hear a shot, but it was pretty far away and not in the direction he was planning on hunting. He has until 5:20 to legally take a deer. It feels COLD out there - I just got back from feeding the outside cats - because of the humidity. Time to stay inside
