LOL the bull pen. I like how they have the vans protected by concrete barriers from the trucks or is that the truck drivers protected from the van drivers :p

I am going to enjoy our 5th day of summer...supposed to be 89 here today and I've got pickles on the brain. Boatload of cukes that need pickling. Tomorrow should be back in the 70's again. And I yanked the first tomato off the vine yesterday along with another eggplant. Made some eggplant parmesan yesterday that turned out pretty darn good.

All of the vans used to park in front of the restaurant. Now I prefer moving up the line to the Wally World in Auburn. Free wifi from Staples.

Yeah, that's good idea ....... used to do it ..... been a few years since I have though ...... mainly for the deer at the time ..... but the tree rats really loved it too (and probably the possums and coons) .... need to fix up something to keep the rain off it .....

I built 3 feeders you could stick an ear of dried corn on ..... and put 'em on some trees over by the kitchen window .... was fun to watch the tree rats come out and pick 'em clean, down to the cob ....

My old barber, back before he passed on, would come out every year and hunt 'em .... he was a good guy ....

Sitting at the TA in Paulsboro outside Philly, I can't say I have ever been so un impressed with a truck stop. The service here is awful and when you have to clean your own table that says something. Their internet service stinks to, right now I am on Idle Aire's weak intermittant signal. The TA signal is nowhere to be found.

I actually haven't found to many TA's that I like. Will be heading out tonite likely for the J at Corfu.

After 30 minutes they still couldn't find the time to come around and take my food order, so...I left, she wouldn't even come over to take my money for the drink I got, so free drink for Piper. What a dump.
