It's all a little scary, I've had the same job for 16 years. I just like the direction my career would take with this company vs the current one.

I hear ya, I worked for a company for 6 years, and made the switch to my current job. Scary stuff, you just never know how its going to work out. But I'm glad I did, and I hope it works out for you. Gotta do what's best for you and your family

I wish my house had a view like that, I live in West Texas and we don't have those kinds of views.

Just glad I didn't have to hide that many bodies so close to the house.

Good Morning everyone! Feeling slightly better this morning, but my head is pretty much still in a fog. Can't breathe and can't hear anything...i'm all plugged up.

Colds stink, hope you feel better soon.. I prescribe standing over your tank and inhaling liberal amounts of salt air

Thanks everyone

There is a big bottle of my favorite girl at home waiting for me, her name is Brandy

We'll drink this cold away

Things that stick in your head.

Hey @mta_morrow how about this?

That looks tasty. I am partial to bacon gravy myself and usually make it. I also make buttermilk biscuits.

Would you share your recipe? Please.

hope you feel better @Crabs Mcjones, brandy should help. I'm both excited and questioning about the decision to purchase a dwarf golden eel last night. @WVNed, those look delicious.

The only thing I like better than Reefing is Bacon Gravy on buttermilk biscuits

I won't give a biscuit recipe as you can make your favorite for that, even store bought will work, but you do you

Sausage gravy

1 lb pork sausage
6 TBSP ap flour
3 cups whole milk
S & P to taste
Cook sausage med-high until completely cooked
Lower to med and add flour, mixing into sausage. Stir and cook 3-5 min until flour is absorbed into fat
Last, add milk slowly, stirring continuously. Bring to boil and watch as it thickens. If it gets too thick, thin out by adding a little more milk.

It comes together fast and will thicken even after the heat is off so stop it early.

EDIT... I can honestly say I have never had bacon gravy

Bacon gravy is the same recipe and method with bacon cooked crisp. I usually am not making a large amount so I drain all but 2 tablespoons or so of the fat
I don't add any salt because it is usually salty enough.
Just pepper, a little sage and basil.

Try spraying the lawn with Vibrant!

It may knock it back a bit and keep it under control and give you more tank time!

I worked basically every Saturday for my entire career.. I missed a lot of family and friend time

I Finally mowed my front yard yesterday after almost 2 weeks, it was almost to my knees.. lol my gate had swelled shut and couldn’t get mower over my 6 foot fenced back yard.. that’s my story and I’m sticking with it

My t5 fixture is coming in today so I’m working on a template to help me make accurate holes in ceiling for hanging cables, quick run to LFS for bulbs and hopefully I’ll be basking in the glow of blue+ tonight
