A Go Egg Me in short a gem.

Not sure if I should be posting this in the "What cheered me up or What Annoyed me" thread.

Been looking for new Venison recipes and found one that looked good, chicken fried venison with garlic smashed potatoes and gravy. Looks tasty, but recipe calls for 3 eggs, now where in the heck am I gonna get three eggs and also find a part time job to help pay for them... Donations anyone?

You know it's bad when Waffle House has had to add an Egg Surcharge....they only go thru about 272 million eggs a year..

Err..."Go Egg Me" might have unintended consequences:

I am a long time martial arts instructor. I just got notification that my grant was approved to cover the cost of training to work as a personal trainer for veterans with disabilities. It has been on my to do list since 9/11. Not having a national certification has been a major road block for working with the VA. With 35 years experience, I needed to pay for a piece of paper showing I know Tai chi. BS on that, get verification by a group that been around a couple of years. So I will get trained by a veteran owned group that trains people to work with all types of disabilities. Program is not sport specific. Maybe I can help veterans with chronic model buying syndrome.

As a state employee I may not be allowed to accept the grant money. They don't want a purchasing agent to take a $999.00 gift from a 591c that helps vets that are disabled. Since I only purchase items for people that want to keep their job, how does helping someone exercise look like a pay off. Got to love govt rules. No if it was $250k , no one would care.

Yeah, I've worked in government, the mind wobbles at some of what goes on, well, basically ALL of what goes on.

Walking up towards a supermarket, I passed a mother and her approx. 3yo boy who was following her a few metres behind. He was eating some kind a chocolate bar. As he drew close to me he held up up to show me with a cheeky chocolate grin.

He was absolutely as happy as could be and wanted to share his mood.

It worked.

Had Valentines for the children at our elementary school. I had them write Valentines for their parents and some of the results were quite surprising. One of the moms bought me a Reebok coat and it fits! One of them wrote a very touching letter. She make me too skinny and I haven't had hair like like since I was in my early 40s

Rushed into my butcher just before closing to get some of his wonderful smoked bacon and he had some freshly wood smoked, chemical free, chicken drumsticks.

I got four to sample but they smelt so good that none of them survived the trip home.

Now I have to wait for Monday to get more.

I will try and keep one long enough to photograph it next time.

Been cooking home made chicken noodle soup all afternoon. House is smelling awesome, but still a good 2 hours until it is ready to eat and I'm hungry now!

I made BBQ pork sliders for dinner. Kids can't wait. Pork loin simmered all night and it smells terrific. That have become fond of the meats coming out of the slow cooker.

Jo Ann's is a arts and crafts chain my wife buys yarn from. They are going out of business. They carry model kits out are overpriced. We stopped buy Saturday. She bought Over 120 dollars of her favorite yarn. She tried to get me to buy a model but they are not marked down yet. Another B25, and PBY, B24, and Jenny may be in my future.

 

[Greg Boeser]

Just a heads up. The Atlantis B-24 is god-awful.

Heard from my #2 son today. He just finished his pathfinder course. He's been offered a nine month extension to his current tour. What a deal.
I told him he's young and single, with no other obligations, why not take some more of Uncle Sam's money?

A few weeks ago, my son wrote to Sir David Attenborough, to tell him how much he loves his programmes. My daughter and myself added our own small messages on a seperate page. Well, we got this today! Absolutely rapt, what a legend!

Here's something to how small the world is. You have undoubtably heard of a person by the name of Keith Kellogg going on Trump's behalf to negotiate with Ukraine. Would it be of any interest to anyone that I use to work for Keith Kellogg back in 1989 while he commanded 3rd Brigade, 7th Inf. Division. This was around the time of Operation Just Cause.

Funny isn't it?
