Fun has its price . . .

Fair enough, if you want to spend your money that way, I guess. It is, after all, your money to spend as you see fit, right?

I’ll never forget my driving instructor’s lesson in a large pole free parking lot. He’d get you up to 20 or so and told you to jam on the brakes, then right away he would tell you to turn the wheel. I still remember the feeling in my gut when the care kept going straight. He was a good instructor, there are three or four lessons that come back to me when I am in the situations. He was a dealer in town, BUICK, using his cars, so he was careful…

My H.S. Drivers' Ed guy asked us to be honest in having a show of hands as to who had already driven. It was about half the class, more-so the boys. He then paired us up, so each card had a driver and a newb. I'll never forget that.

Biscuits and gravy are disgusting.
I’ve lived in Indiana for 35 years and never had a pork fritter. Oh sorry, pork tenderloin. Anyway I’ve never considered Indiana the Midwest. It’s more like Northern Kentucky.

I make biscuits and gravy once a week or so, for the grandkids and myself. A pound of homemade sausage, a package of one of the better "country gravy" mixes, and some biscuits that come in an exploding tube. I use milk instead of the water the gravy mix calls for.

The grandkids think it's a culinary masterpiece.

I really like hamburger meat and gravy, over buttered toast better. SOS.

A soft snow falling on a still night. A fresh few inches already on the ground, painting everything in a reflected light. Yep. Wonderful. I once walked the streets of Furth Germany on such a night. It was very close to Christmas, might have even been Christmas Eve. A relatively balmy 30 degrees F or so. The old cobblestone streets and medieval looking buildings with Christmas trees visible in many windows made for a postcard perfect picture. Traffic was virtually non-existent. I've seldom seen anything that struck me so beautiful, and probably never felt more lonely in my life...but that's another story.

Now you consider a snow storm when the temp is in in the 20s Fahrenheit. The snow being driven by 30 mph winds well on its way to accumulating 11 inches. Beautiful? I dunno...visibility isn't great in the howling path of the wind. It's 2 AM and the old Labrador dog won't chance the snow drift covered steps to get off the porch, so you have to get a shovel and make him a path of egress. He shows his gratitude by depositing his load right at the bottom of the steps. Different sort of snow.

You're a good man digging your doggy a path at 2 AM in the morning. That can't be fun. We have a lab, such a beautiful girl.

I don't know how good. The old boy has to go out, and I enable him. He's my daughter's retired service dog, and getting along in years. Snow covered steps- buried in snow, actually- are beyond his capabilities these days.

If you don't mind, post a review of the battery powered snow blower. When we got the winter storm warning on Friday, I got my snow blower out to make sure it was going to start, and went and filled up the gas can with REC 90 gas (90 octane, no ethanol). It didn't want to start, I had left gas in it from last year, and even though I use stabilizer, I was like, OH NO. Then I figured out I had turned the gas valve off and run the carb dry, lol. Praise the Lord. Fired right up. Then, we only got 5 inches, lol.

This is from two years ago. Last year we got off easy, we'll see this year.
