@chuck123wapati i've seen vids of semis getting blown  over, looks terrifying,  so I can imagine the strength  of those winds. 

Had my last market for the year  on Sunday, 21st, so now I am a man of leisure,sort of.

Our AC is working  perfect  👌  local installer too, did a fine job. 

I spilt a whole tin of contact adhesive  all over my bench and onto my leg once.

What a sticky  gluggy mess it was too, along with a multitude  of expletives :crazy:

Lesson learnt.

BBQ season is the perfect time of year to be off for a while, enjoy every minute of it you can! 

I'm in charge of Christmas dinner, the son and I are surprising everyone with Crab, lobster tails, shrimp, either boiled in beer or beer-battered, oh, and fried oysters for Christmas Eve. Yeah, sadly, here in Wyoming. In cattle country, it was a cheaper option than a beef prime rib roast.

 its still blowing and forecast for at least another four or five days!! Jeez, this has been a long one. A weird, sad fact for our small community is that the suicide rate has always far exceeded the norms of the world, and it's been blamed on the isolation, unceasing winds, and bitter cold of the area. It looks gorgeous outside, but when you go out, the wind just drives any warmth right out of you. Blows so hard you can't catch your breath lol. It's also why I have about a hundred indoor hobbies lol.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

:)  Yep, and I find the older I get, the more time I spend inside in winter. MY days of skating, skiing and tobogganing are sadly past. :(

Oh, I don't think there's a single one of us who hasn't done something similar with either glue, paint or dye! My worst moment was when I decided to do a little touch-up on a nearly completed project. Normally, I use a syringe to transfer a small amount of dye to one of those little pallets with the tiny depressions in them for holding different colours of dye. Nah, I thought, I'll just dip my brush in the bottle...

Spilled the whole damn bottle! The one good thing was the project was okay. My cutting mat, pants, shoes and the floor, not so much!

Your feed sounds good. Wish I was near enough to nose my way into it. Your family is lucky to have you and your son.

We just did some groceries, and are tucking in for some movies and maybe a hot cocoa.

Happy Christmas, everyone.

Oh, and a pal of mine came by to try making a wallet. She's doing great so far. I could learn from her, if only I would listen :)

Those are nice as well, they look really comfy and warm.  That steampunk pattern dude has a nice pattern for that driving moc style, that's what they call em here anyway. I almost bought it, but my bank didn't like the site and wouldn't process the transaction. Mine are for outdoors as much as indoors I am thinking I'll make it even more of a chukka type moc with a fully gusseted tongue. Now that I have a decent pattern i can continue to enhance it.

They now have a veg tan sole and a back. I didn't allow enough lean in on the back so it doesn't grip as much as I'd like so might put some padding around the top.

Food Just watched sudden impact,  Dirty Harry for the umpteenth  time . (it's 45 degs outside and I'm hibernating with a few beers )

One line had me intrigued

DH: :  " nobody   , I mean nobody puts ketchup on a hot dog "

Is there an etiquette  to what goes  on a hot dog over there?

There is here.  Here in Oz, a hardware chain doing a sausage sizzle, made a major faux paz.

Here , we put the sausage in the roll first,followed by onions on top  with whatever  sauce, tomato, bbq etc.

but they did the opposite,  put the onions in  first.

OMG ! It blew up in the media

A lot of fuss over  piece of processed meat in a piece of bread .:dunno:

LOL now that's funny, I think hot dog ettequete is everywhere, but then its not lol. It is quality dependent, except that the dog always goes on the bun first, no matter what topping.  Because there is no such thing as a bottoming for a dog to go on top of. 

The lowest form of American weinie on a piece of bread, "weinie bread" can have about anything on it, especially ketchup.  While a choice German brat for example simmered in beer then browned, calls for only a good kraut on top with some spicy mustard and nothing else. I have put ketchup on the lower forms of American dogs, especially as a kid, but not ever on good dogs or sausages. Some of our worst dogs are made from chicken and pork scraps that are basically turned into the same mush as bologna, then shaped like a dog lol. They are the cheapest and cost about a buck a pound and are fair game for anything that makes them taste better lol. The higher end type All beef hot dog can have any type of specialty toppings like chili dogs or kraut dogs, but no ketchup IMO thats just crazy talk.

In New England you can even start a Holy war by bringing the wrong kind of hot dog bun. This is a proper Hot Dog bun.

Although a righteous Chicago Dog requires an entirely different bun.

In N.I. they put a pork sausage in a long bun and call that a 'hot dog' ! The nearest proper hot dog can be bought at the Bistro food counter in Ikea when its open. At least that one tastes a bit like a wiener. You put on your own sauces et cetera
