did get some hash

but no brisket.....they all said their brisket wouldn't be ready until 12:30 or 1:00.....and that's pretty much nap time for me these days....if it can't get done in the morning, it doesn't get done....so I had a lot of lunch, a chili dog and a hash dog....and some good sweet tea.....to use up my tickets I got some hash to take home .....so now I have containers of pot roast and hash in the fridge....easy to fix meals for a few days anyway....the hash is pretty tasty, might have it over biscuit for supper.....in T shirt and jeans it was getting hot seemed to me by 11:30 or so.....made my escape from the crowd.....saw Cindy and Addie and Edson over there.....Addie is 4 years older, but they appear to be the same height....I walked around a lot over there, so got my boots off as soon as I got home....and put on some old ragged  bluejean shorts, 'cause the weather has switched back to warmish, at least for today.....only mail here was ads trying to get me to sign up for various Medicare Advantage programs....tore them in half and tossed them in the kitchen trash.....Cindy said there was a good crowd last night too, and it goes on today until bands and fireworks after dark.....I put in my ten bucks worth for the civic festivities....somebody must be making money on it all.....

Cool morning

So I got out and did the front yard, trimming and mowing.....clear today, finally no clouds....the pot roast is a success, tasty with a large bell pepper in there with the other stuff....guess I'll have that again this evening.....tomorrow I'll get a lunch of ribs and whatever over in Laurens ....last year I got three ribs and a chili dog and an apple fritter, or some other sweet thing at this church bake sale booth....I want to see if I can find a sample size of beef brisket maybe.....in a sandwich?  It's something different to do anyway on a Saturday, other than just sitting around as usual.....they have lots of crafts booths, but I've never seen anything  I needed to buy.....

crock pot roast

meat and veggies and such cooking slowly, ought to be plenty.....high humidity again today, mostly cloudy....was raining around bedtime last night, gently......looks like it will be dry and mild Saturday morning for the festivities in Laurens.....I forgot yesterday to get extra cash at the store for ribs and whatever else at the Square, but my bank has ATMs right there.....I remembered parmesan-romono, so I had some of that on top of my bowl of beans and rice....tasty that way....the front lawn is too wet to mess with, so I'll look at it again Friday morning....did not watch any debate, don't see any point in that....near the end of a good library book, and I have three more.....might get up to 78 today they think,  was 64 at sunrise when I went for my first walk....

clouded over, somewhat muggy

at the grocery store I got a small beef roast to put in the crock pot tomorrow with potatoes, carrots, green beans, bell pepper, and a can of mushroom soup....got Texas biscuits to have with that....mop up the juices with a biscuit....tonight can be red beans and rice, Tuesday I had ham, the last of the mac n cheese, green beans.....lunch today was a chili dog with onion, two small Greek peppers, and the last of the burgundy....the new box of wine is merlot.....high of 79 expected this afternoon....should play some piano, read some books, play some guitar, take a little nap......finish looking at the Clinton paper....that won't take long....

strange

it was 10 degrees warmer when I got out of bed than when I went to bed.....warmed up during the night?  that just seems wrong.....it's because a warm front from the south overpowered the colder front that had been here a few days.....72F outside, 70 in the house.....got my newspaper OK, but right now it's raining some....I'll try for a dry spell later for the park walk....I did get some walking done yesterday, in an afternoon haze.....the bowl of red beans and rice made for a filling supper, and there's plenty for today too.....the grocery flyer came in the mail Monday this week.....looks like a good price on rump roast.....for "Crocktoberfest" as the meat department ad said.....I might do a pot roast.....those make for good lunch sandwiches.....or maybe it's time to do chili-dog lunches again....I get that craving.....used up all the onion last night, need to remember that tomorrow.....don't think I need to drive anywhere today....I dreamed I was working in a gas station.....I've never had a job like that....where do these ideas come from?  maybe sometimes you get a dream meant for somebody else.....

It's not nice out

I thought is was supposed to warm up this afternoon some....but it's still 63.....it was 63 at sunrise this morning....not really raining right now, just sort of a cold blowing mist.....wind 6 mph from the north-east.....not very inviting for a stroll around the neighborhood....

rain and more rain

was raining when I went to bed, think it rained all night, and it's still raining.....63F, high of 73 predicted....might rain the rest of today and on into Tuesday.....should help ease the drought conditions.....so it's too wet for walking....and people drive crazy in the rain, you might get run over out walking.....so today I can make red beans and rice with ham diced up in it, and that should be enough for two days, and then it's grocery day again.....this weather is all coming from south and west, so it's not a cold system, just wet.....so far it's just coming straight down steady, but thunderstorms with wind might show up before it's over.....off to the library in a bit, see if I can find something to sit inside with and read.....didn't do much yesterday but slouch on the sofa and watch football, but woke up with an ache in my right shoulder....can't figure that out.....maybe it's just the damp getting in aged joints....
