"And now, for something completely different."

For Backbacon, with molasses maple bacon on the campfire and a hot cup of coffee,
and to all of our friends,

"Uncle Scott! One more story! Please?"

OK. It's getting late and I want you kids to sleep with a smile....

Here's a story while you listen to this....




Back when I worked at the University of Kansas Medical Center as a Maintenance Specialist,
or whatever the damn title was,
It had become aware to me that a certain coworker smoked weed.

At the time I did not.

So, I followed him around as much as possible to learn his "habits."
I learned where he would go to smoke.


So, I created a realistic looking camera.
Remember, this was in the 80's.

I "surreptitiously" installed this creation in proximity to his "smoking lair."

One evening, we worked second shift, I pulled him aside and said that I had
seen a camera in the hallway of so and so building where you go to smoke!

We went on a "maintenance call" that took us down that hallway
and I told him to notice but don't look directly....

When we were away from the hallway, he broke down crying,
saying that he couldn't afford the repercussions of being busted.

I led that boy to giving up the weed.
Yes, indeed.....

I never did tell him of my ruse,
and, to the best of my knowledge, that "camera" is still
mounted in that hallway, at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City.

My Best,

Scott

Monday morning will soon be upon us.
Another 10-15 minutes?

I'm charging my phone, preparing a sandwich for lunch when I'm helping my Locksmith Friend,
and preparing my coffee espresso for a cup of fresh ground hazelnut beans.

Looks to be a productive week ahead!

Best,

Scott​

HOT STUFF! WHEW! To put out that "fire in the belly" (Heart-Burn, GERD, etc.), drink Aloe Vera Juice; get some BALANCE!

{obligatory....}

OK!

Based upon recent PM's,

The next Charter membership Award has been narrowed down to two contenders.

Please let me know who your choice would be and a dollar or two won't hurt....

We'll have a new Charter Member by the end of the week,
even if I have to make up the difference myself!

Stay tuned, stay active and PM me for your contribution!

Best,

Scott​

"Uncle Scott, another story! Please?"

"No. Not tonight. Maybe tomorrow.

If the statutes of limitations has expired, well,
I've got a story for you!"

Sleep tight tonight and remember that tomorrow is yours!


Best,

Scott​

I'm back from isolation. I have about 200 or so posts to catch up on. Also, congratulations to RelevantChair on his appointment to Auxillary DJ! I will update the list when I get done reading the posts I have missed. Found two more pieces of gold, a knick-knack, and a couple paddy whacks. I only had the chance to detect for a couple of hours a day. My target count was insane. I shudder to think of what else I would have found if I had more time. I will post pics in the appropriate section when I get done cleaning up the gold. It is a pretty heavy, solid gold, Koala bear charm. I had no idea it was gold until I threw it in the muriatic acid and there was little to no reaction. It came out of the water solid black with indistinguishable features, it must have been in the water for over 30 years...

Sounds like the gang is back and in honor of Backbacon, and Crispin's return I have thought up a meal that comes from our surroundings, and is provided for by Mother Nature.....

Crack a cold one, or pour your favorite libation and enjoy.

To open tonights fare we are serving, Wild Strawberry, Spinach salad.

4 cups washed and torn spinach,( dandelion greens can be substituted)
1 cup hulled, rinsed, and drained wild strawberries
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced,( optional)
2/3 cup chopped macadamia nuts

combine spinach, strawberries, kiwi, and nuts, set aside
DRESSING:
2 tbsp. strawberry jam
2 tbsp. cider vinegar1/3 cup oil
Place jam and vinegar in blender and process until blended, add oil gradually while you blend
Pour oil over salad and toss gently.

You could substitute wild raspberries and raspberry jam if desired.

With the salad I have decided to serve fresh dressed,( since I just cleaned a mess from the Lake),and fried yellow perch. They can be coated with simply flour, or cornmeal, or you favorite fish dredge. Cook until golden brown, and the meat flakes off the bone.

With this I'm serving my mother-in-laws, " onion potatos". In a large sauce pan add 1 large diced onion to 2 -3 tbsps. butter. Cook on med-high until the onions are brown, and the butter just starts to turn real dark. Add water, and cleaned and peeled chunks of potato, and cook as if you are making mashed potatos. Mash all together with the butter and onion mix, ( you don't need a lot of water, whats not absorbed can be poured off when finished) This dish goes especially good with perch, or fresh walleye fillets.

Enjoy, and after I finish today's billing, and eat my perch....will return.....Gary

Folks,

For a bunch of old foggies they can still rock pretty good....lol....

This song by the Rolling Stones - Can't you hear me knocking from Glastonbury featuring Mick Taylor.

I forgot how good he was on guitar....maybe Scott can chime in on his playing ability....pretty much the 2nd half of the song features him.

 

[bill from lachine]

Crispin,

Glad you had some down time and found some yellow stuff....no major upheavals or mutinies nor gov't takeovers during your absence...all is well with the world.

Regards + HH

Just got back to the gold. The Koala bear was a fraud! 100% gold plated, dissolved in vinegar overnight. Still got the gold chain and black onyx/opal. I put the pics in the beach section.

Welcome back GIB!
