Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GwenOnBass]

Turnips are viewed as animal fodder in Ireland, and considered rude to bring to the table. That said, I like turnips. They're good raw, eaten like an apple. They're good in mashed potatoes. .... but adding animal fodder to potatoes speaks to unpleasant times soberly recalled

My discoveries at today's growers' market are better than average. Snow peas, oyster mushrooms, garlic scapes, a bone for Odin, a listen in with



she's wearing slacks, Will

but most importantly ran into my weekly coffee BF, who I've not seen since lockdown. I see you haven't made the paper, says I, and we take a very fine coffee at Heather's. Heather who used to have dreads down to her knees. And my WCBF and I agree to meet Tuesday for coffee. Again. Except on a Tuesday instead of a Monday, as was our habit. Tuesday because the coffee roaster is closed on Sundays and Mondays owing to the longer-reaching effects of the lockdown
and all it's ̶d̶o̶w̶n̶ done to the city. We see a city council member doing her weekly shopping with her two littlest ones in a double pram
it's all

We're thinking of getting rid of the lawn for something else (plants, flowers, etc.). What dilemma will this pose for a GOF?

Moat engineers are in search of work.

Cedar chips smell like the kerfed lining inside of a Martin. What can be wrong with that.

Practical suggestions as to what to fill the moat with?

My Martin smells like a good bag of pot (not that I'd know what that smells like...).

Oats are animal fodder as well. I like porridge for breakfast all winter. Never had a dog say no to a marrow bone that I bake for them. Maybe why I get along well with animals.

Smashed turnip, butter, and pepper, spinach on the side with lemon juice on it will be on the menu next week.

A fish that lends itself well to sushi. You’d have to like cats in your yard though.

I like sliced turnips in my salad.

Well, we could change the Club's motto to simply "Get Off!!"
Or maybe, considering the general ages here, it sh be "Get Off?"


(Mashed turnips mixed with mashed potatoes, butter and pepper... Yum! ;>})
(Turnip greens.... Yuk! ;<{(

I don't see a problem. ​

Home from MO. Pop had the consult with the radiation oncologist. Sharp guy, straight shooter, needs to work on the bedside manner a little. Told us what will be involved, side effects, etc. We're worried about the side effects. He will most likely have pain in his throat starting at week 2-3. Worried about swallowing problem later on in the treatment and the possibility of a feeding tube but it's one of those wait an see things. Anyways, Pop decided to go ahead with the radiation. He will be able to get it done at a facility 30 miles from his house. He goes this coming Tue for the mask fitting and mapping for the treatment then starts treatment the following week for 6.5-7 weeks, 5 days a week. His nephew will take him to the mapping and treatments then we'll relieve him probably about halfway through and stay with him to the finish and afterwards. Mrs GT will stay in MO and I'll take care of stuff at the homestead and go over about every two weeks. It's going to be a journey but there are high probabilities of curing this thing.

PS - If you guys think I'm going back to read all of your useless posts, and that would be all of them, you've got another thing coming.

May smell good, but can't come close to Blommer's chocolate mulch in Chicago. It's not listed as a product, but I used to buy a LOT of it for my rose, iris and day lily beds. It took a couple of years, but I turned that nasty northern Illinois clay into some mighty fine flower beds.

The pads on a dog's feet smell like corn chips.

Latest Win10 update complete, I see a new weather widget on the taskbar to the left of the clock. Let's look and see what this is, right?

News headlines with pictures! A NASDAQ ticker! A sports story! Weather! ....

None of which can be turned off. But ... okay if I leave the weather thing on the taskbar I don't have to open it. Except there is no way I can find to switch from F to C so pretty useless to me

Turn the whole thing off, lose the weather thing but You Know my computer screen is directly in front of a window and there is this amazing ability I have to look outside. It's pretty accurate. Going outside with Odin as he sees to his first business of the day fills in the blanks. If I want a forecast I ask for one and it's at my fingertips on the smrtphn so there mr smarty pants communist
