One run and Coke gave me 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Now need 8 more (hours of sleep) and I'll be human again. Time to shake off the elf in me for a while. 106 events is way too many, and 22 events in a 30 hour day will never happen again. My body just isn't made for it, although it sure was fun. Found some pics on Facebook from one of my home visit clients. Their boys also attend a day care that I visited earlier in the season. My neighbor's mom who was filling in for my mom who couldn't make it this year to perform her usual Mrs. Claus duties (she slipped on ice last month and broke her knee, poor thing). The home visit pics were taken this morning during my early morning "sneak a peek" appearance.

For any who didn't see my FB post on this, here was our attempt at doing Richard Blais' Spicy Chorizo Burger from this video: We'd made a first attempt the day before, and decided to try fries instead of griddled potatoes, and sliced cheese instead of shaved, both of which helped the flavor consistency from bite to bite:

Wow, that looks awesome Al! Made these for John:

I'm sorry for your taste. I once drove 18 hours, each way, with a bad back, to see a Cindy Sherman exhibit at the MoMA. Worth every ounce of pain.

Done

Having a mellow day in Mayberry. I put up my new bird feeder and her are the first few customers. https://vimeo.com/115445163

Hope everyone had a great x'mas. My little girl just turned two years old on x'mas day so we all had a great time.

Some French Toast For Boxing Day Breakfast

Tunein works on the echo, too. Turns it into the greatest fm radio ever. We were playing with that last night.

No sous vide here, but a beautiful prime rib roast (5 ribs) is sitting in the fridge and ready to be roasted tomorrow. I'm going with a slow roast method from Chow.com where Matt's Nog originated. They suggest separating the bones from the meat and re-trussing to cook. This allows easier carving and greater seasoning area inside the incision, and still allows the bones to add flavor and substance. After the brief superhot finish to crust the outside, you simply cut the twine, separate the bones and then slice the meat without obstacle. The bones get cut up to serve for cave-man types. Should be good, but further reporting tomorrow. Here is the slab of meat (note that is a really long ex-Jacob knife for scale): Here is the meat with the bones sliced off and set back in place: Here is the meat with some seasoning and all trussed up with no place to go, except the fridge for the night: And finally, here is the jus in progress with some knuckle and marrow bones giving up the goods:

Wishing all of you a great day and a great Holiday Season! We're driving to Cleveland today to spend time with my family and do the usual, sit around a lot, eat, and watch sports and movies. Some will play mah jong. Maybe I can convince someone to go to the Hoppin' Frog brewpub with me, which is only 20 minutes from my brother's place where we stay. To those with recent loss and injury ... know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers every night this week. I hope you can find some happiness and joy in spite of the terrible luck cast your way. Hopefully the new year will be a good one.

You should have someone working to get the other driver paying for all this. You should end up with no out of pocket costs, given the situation.

Way to go Santa Wayne. You made a lot of people happy and joyful, which is not something too many of us can say. Take a well deserved rest.

Okay, download one, post the other to Facebook...download one, post the other to Facebook...DON'T SCREW THEM UP!

Someone made me and my sister some apple pie, so we eated it.

Merry Christmas and happy heathen holidays to all my HC brethren. Best wishes especially to those who are dealing with grief and injury, and hoping for better days in 2015.

Have I said I love you? The pain meds are kicking in.

It may also just be the new titanium line, but my 2 year old titanium eco-drive doesn't have sapphire.

WXRT introduced me to them in the 1970's by playing Let's Get The Show On The Road late at night. And I worked for Stark Records out of Ohio for several years.

Thanks John! Christmas breakfast for 12 various meats and Claire's famous sourdough yeast waffles. EDIT: whatever that is in the middle pic was added by Tampa talk. This is my pic

I figured I'd have a go at resizing without the tool, worked just fine once I pushed the pins the right direction.

Congrats Nate! I resized last night, my first time to do that. Funny how hard easy things are when you don't know what you're doing! Larry, uninstall/reinstall did the trick. Here it is... I really understand how you all can get hooked on these...

Still love my 13s and listen to them at least a few times a week. They still make me happy every time. I can't say that about too many things. Far worth the price I paid a few years ago.

You make that sound like a bad thing. Also: fuck off. Cheers!

Unused photo session from "Saturn 3". They did do a test shot on set. She ended up wearing this instead...

I'm sure somebody has matched J74's for sale. Has to be...
