CRISPINS CRITTERS

Folks,

Back to left over turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce for supper.

I tracked down a recipe for roasted carrots which will be a side dish tonight.

I skipped the pomegranate seeds because we don't have any. we do have the molasses though but just use balsamic vinegar instead if you want to try it. Also I leave the skins on the garlic so it doesn't burn.

I’m done with turkey. We are having Chinese food for dinner tonight.
 

2GF,

Well tonight was the last evening of turkey leftovers. The rest got frozen and we'll be making some casseroles later this winter.

Tomorrow night we'll be having some stuffed pork roast.

Folks,

For those who are suffering from cabin fever this chap in Australia has an interesting series of videos using primitive native skills.

As y'all know, I like to make my own sushi.

I happened to see this and bought one on ebay and it should arrive soon.



I'm not sure if it's the same brand, but I got it for under $5 with free shipping from China.

Can't wait to try it out when I get it!

Best,

Scott
 

When I came in to work today, I saw that we had received about 30 new 24VDC batteries for our pallet jacks. :hello2:
I'm not sure how many jacks and forklifts we have, but I know that it is more than 100 altogether....

(Helpful images of a 24VDC pallet jack battery.)

Since the day I was hired, I have been in charge of watering and servicing our compliment of pallet jack batteries AND our 36VDC Forklift batteries.
Friends, just like car batteries and most any batteries, they don't last forever.

So, starting next week, I will number each new battery, record the serial numbers and change them out on the jacks that have the oldest batteries.
I know that I've got numbering stencils around here somewhere.....:icon_scratch:

And, I've got a broken jack riser to work in sometime soon.
Those selector folks tear up the equipment ALMOST as fast as I can fix 'em!

Best,

Scott

Scott,
For what it's worth I've been doing admin for about 6 years on the Canadian detecting forum. Luckily we've got a pretty good group of
people but there are times when it does get a bit trying. Just comes with the territory.

Bill,
I think that I will graciously relinquish my current Moderating duties to the sites that I currently moderate and create a new group.

Would you like to be a Moderator?
I trust your judgment and fairness.
I really don't see any difficulties in the group.
The rules will be "clear cut," and there will always be communication between us for any issues.

I can post or PM you particulars if you are interested.
I just think that more than one person to keep control is beneficial to any group.
If you are interested, I'd be honored to include you.
If not, I will certainly understand.

Please give the idea some thought.

Best,

Scott
 

When the new year comes,
I will not shoot fireworks.
I will not drink myself into oblivion.

I will look towards the Heavens,
Think of Friends and Family whom I've lost,
and Say...

"Lovely to See You Again!"



Hope all have a Safe and Happy New Year!

Only my Best Wishes,

Scott
 

Tomorrow, I will get a new Tat of a couple of Service Ribbons.

Are tattoos addictive?
Yes.

I already have the NEXT one planned of my Unit patch....
Both of them...

I fear that I'll run out of room on my arms before I run out of tattoos....

I have just sent a message to the Administrator of one site requesting to be relieved of moderating duty.

I already feel a sense of relief.....

Sometimes, even the strong will drop to their knees and ask,
"God, why do you test me thus?"

I believe that the answer is;

"I only test you thus so that you know of your strength to do what is right. Love your fellow man.
Help those who need help. Be a Friend to the friendless. Feed the hungry. Shelter the homeless.
Be kind to animals and fear not the rebuke of the wicked for they have their place"

Friends, Let us all strive to do what is right in the coming year.

My Best Wishes to All for the coming year!

Matthew 25:35-40

[SUP]35 [/SUP]For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, [SUP]36 [/SUP]I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
[SUP]37 [/SUP]“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? [SUP]38 [/SUP]When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? [SUP]39 [/SUP]When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
[SUP]40 [/SUP]“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’


I am not really that religious, but I have volunteered and served meals at a local Christian Organization several times.
I have Helped build homes for Vets with "Habitat For Humanity."
I volunteer at the local Animal shelter.
And I will do more in the coming year....

The Greatest gift that one can give is not that of gold nor silver or gems.
The greatest gift that one can give is the gift of themself...

"Kyrie"

Kýrie, eléison
Kýrie, eléison
Kýrie

The wind blows hard against this mountainside
Across the sea into my soul
It reaches into where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road

My heart is old, it holds my memories
My body burns a gem-like flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again

Kýrie, eléison
Down the road that I must travel
Kýrie, eléison
Through the darkness of the night

Kýrie, eléison
Where I'm going, will you follow?
Kýrie, eléison
On a highway in the light

When I was young, I thought of growing old
Of what my life would mean to me
Would I have followed down my chosen road
Or only wished what I could be

Kýrie, eléison
Down the road that I must travel
Kýrie, eléison
Through the darkness of the night

Kýrie, eléison
Where I'm going, will you follow?
Kýrie, eléison
On a highway in the light

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh

Kýrie, eléison
Down the road that I must travel
Kýrie, eléison
Through the darkness of the night

Kýrie, eléison
Where I'm going, will you follow?
Kýrie, eléison
On a highway in the light

Kýrie, eléison
Down the road that I must travel (will you follow?)
Kýrie, eléison
Through the darkness of the night

Kýrie, eléison
Where I'm going, will you follow? (will you follow)
Kýrie, eléison
On a highway in the light

Kýrie, eléison
Down the road that I must travel (yeah)
Kýrie, eléison
Through the darkness of the night

Kýrie, eléison
Where I'm going, will you follow? (will you follow?)
Kýrie, eléison
On a highway in the light

Kýrie, eléison
Down the road that I must travel (will you follow?)
Kýrie, eléison
Through the darkness of the night

Kýrie, eléison
Where I'm going, will you follow? (will you follow)

And, to bring in a new day,
I often ask myself, "Who are you?"

Seen this tune performed live in KC years ago....
Back in the late 70's or early 80's....I can't remember....
That period of my life was lost to the influences of drugs and massive alcohol consumption...
Fresh out of the Army.
That's when my Demons found me....
Have you ever drank yourself sober?
Have you ever drank yourself to "pass out" just for sleep?
For over 30 years now, I still fight sleep and the demons of the past...
You notice that I never say, "Addiction."
I have never been,"Addicted" to anything except air, food and water.
I have and always will be stronger than any other force that I have encountered.
Is sleep an addiction?
Obviously, I am now in control of that also....

(My, wouldn't Crispin have a "field day" analyzing me?
And perhaps I'd analyze him in the same measure.....
Sounds like a fine time to be had by all!)


But, Dammit, I must have lived, didn't I?
"Cause HERE I AM!

AHEM!
On my Birthday....somewhere in there....
Glided to the show on my Bike with my First wife....
And..."The Kids Are All Right...."

Right after Keith died....
Roger, Pete, John, and Kenney Jones....
The lads put on a great show!

Yes, Guitars were smashed on stage right before my eyes!



Y'all be good, hear?

Best,

Scott

Ah!
Just noticed that I have a couple or three swaps of coins pending with folks from Great Britain,
France and Belgium who are interested in coins that I recently acquired.
Please forgive me as I forgo sleep to attend to the latest inquiries regarding possible swaps...
After all, who needs sleep?

See y'all on the flip side, Dig?

Best,

Scott
