Bill,

Some great Neil that you've posted,
And I 'd have to search in "The Way-Back Machine"


to add to the previous....

So, I'm thinking,
"Here it is, a Monday evening. What's on peoples minds about now?"

The answer is obvious....



Hang on everyone, the weekend is just ahead....

Best,

Scott​

Scott,

It not that we are getting old that sucks, it's not facing the fact that we have more and harder challenges in our lives. My brain still thinks I'm 25, and those brain cells should have died 30 years ago. I've learned that we are what we are, and have stopped trying to understand why!

May you live long and prosper!.......Gary

Gary,
I guess what I meant to say is that, "It sucks to forget stuff LIKE an old person."

Yes, I may grow older, but I will grow wiser, and, NEVER grow up.

Thinking young keeps one young.

I think I'd like to keep 3-4 young ones, 19 to 25, and.....

What?

ahem....

The way I see it, if you're still sucking air, you wake up with less aches than the day before
and you live in America,

Well, you're still a player.

So go play, and be a winner!

Best,

Scott

Scott.

As I've matured, I have learned the difference between intelligence and wisdom. Intelligence is having the ability to study, learn, and remember facts, and form conclusions......Wisdom is knowing what to do with those conclusions.

Every day for me is a learning experience, mostly by my mistakes, but those simple days add up to a life of acquired wisdom, and that is something that I hope we can pass on to the next generation, but I have found that they refuse to accept that wisdom, and discount what we have gone through to get where we are in life.....the most distressing view of the future that I have.....and I really don't know what to do?

Enough depressing thought's.....just witnessed a brilliant sunset here on the Lake, and that signals my inner clock that it's time for the rack. Friends, the best for the remainder of the evening, and I'll list the menu for this past weekends fish fry for all of you tomorrow night.

My best until later.......Gary

Does anyone here still send real letters, hand written, through the regular mail?

I did last month, June.
My Aunt, my Mom's Sister, had sent me a birthday card, as she has for over 20 years--no fail.

And I, no fail, responded with a hand-written thank you letter.

It was three pages; catching up on my business and asking of hers!

My mind played images of my Aunt as I wrote the letter and soon it felt as if we were in the same room.

My Aunt is obviously elderly and has no computer.

I haven't seen her for over 5 years after I left Kansas.

I have her phone number; she has mine.

I haven't spoken with her for probably 3 years.

Strange Family that I'm a part of.....

That I'M A PART OF.......

Gonna call her now before it gets too late....

I'll post later.....

Best,

Scott​

Thanks Bill...I like any song he puts out..I suspect he has not had an easy time of it and to me the depth of it comes through..)

Gary,

These are not depressing thoughts that you have....
It is a desire to break free of the "age" restraints that are common among the older population.

Look at me, I started back to college at 50.
It was either that or skydiving....

What's your passion?

Brother,

LIVE YOUR DREAM!

Best,

Scott​

 

[AU24K]

Just called my Aunt.....

We talked until the battery of my cell phone was depleted.


We had a nice conversation....I guess better than the handwritten letter.


During the conversation, I heard her laugh, I cried and we both connected again as members of a family.

I encourage everyone to either hand write a letter or call a Friend or Family member
that you haven't spoken with for awhile, just to be "part of the Family again."


Always,

My Best,

Scott

Oh, we got us "Another dog a runnin'" for posting great music?

RC,

Folks,

Here's a couple of tunes for your enjoyment.

JJ Cale + Eric Clapton - After midnight + Call me the breeze.

 

[GMD52]

Well as promised, here is the fare that I prepared for the annual fish fry here on beautiful Lake Champlain, and seems it might also work as an enticement for our member drive.....you all be the judge.

1. marinated 6 duck breaste in a teriyaki, garlic, and green onion mix for three hours. Fired up my charcoal smoker, heated to desired temp, added apple wood chips, and duck. Smoked for 3 hours.....let cool and served directly from the smoker.
2. With 1 gal. of veg. oil, I fired up the fish fryer, and heated to 350.
3. Meantime, in a bowl with crushed ice, I liberally spread out freshed cooked and chilled crayfish with a spicey creole dipping sauce.
4. Breaded chunks of alligator meat, frog legs, and shrimp balls with a mixture of panko bread crumbs, cornmeal, and spices, and fryed each individually 3-4 min. and served hot from the fryer.
5. Started gas grill and cooked alligator sausage, and creole shrimp boudan, a sausage made with shrimp, and rice.
6. coated ffresh caught yellow perch fillets, and largemouth bass fillets with a seasoned Louisiana fish mix and deep fried 2-3 min.
Placed what was left of the cooked snacks and the fillets on a large platter, and help yourself....served with cole slaw, fresh sweet corn, homemade baked beans, .....with Fla. key lime pie for dessert,( bro-in-law brought the fresh key lime juice up from the tree in his yard)

I do this 3-4 ties per year, and the only problem is by the time I get to take a break, the food is gone! Bur the family and neighbors are happy, and full....This is also served with 4-5 different rums, and Ice cold beer.

Crispin, do you think this would work?................Later.Gary

Gary,

The Cook ALWAYS eats first!

 

[GMD52]

Wish that was true...... only 5 of the 6 smoked duck breasts made the party, and I did get adequate rum service

 

[bill from lachine]

Gary,

Sounds like quite the feast you put on...thanks for sharing....those panko crumbs really make for a nice crunchy coating.

Regards + HH

Bill
