From scratch, no recipe. Just winged it. I lifted the bottom so you could see my crust. Thin crust, Caputo flour. yum my man liked it.

Taken in between chores, and the excitement of the birth of a new Angora goat kid.

I am making up for not posting last night. Pan seared sea scallops, sticky rice, and asparagus. The sauce is a mustard, wine , caper creation. Wasn’t sure if Mr Aire would eat it.

Starting Wednesday, I need to wear a mask all day long while at work. What a privilege. (This is actually a pic of me a work a while ago)

Lots of asparagus, a bit of broccoli, and cocktail tomato wedges. So good with a little hot sauce when done!

Walk around Spencer Island. Great day and place to bird watch on the estuary.

If you knew my cat, you'd ask the question how long until he eats me.

I'm not surprised there was no port left. You know what they say, "any port in a storm".

Wanna borrow one of mine?

Soporific is the theme at the Further house. Been poking at shit and walking away, leaving everything half done at best. Unable to concentrate for more than a minute. I have been doing all my music listening online for the past couple years, Pandora or You Tube mostly, well the signal down in the basement has faded, not sure of the reason, but I was missing my tunes. So I bought a cheap ass CD player at Walmart today, dug out my old Bose computer speakers, and hooked them up down in the basement. I have a huge pile of CD's I haven't listened to in years, Enya found her way into the player as a test play. Sounded pretty good so the whole album played. While I actually accomplished something for a change. Enya ended and I plugged in Bob James, haven't listened to him in years, sounded pretty good and I got a little more done.. ..Working on getting the mower ready for spring, the grass is already growing.. Soporific is the theme at the Further house....

My bad...probably put too much water in the mix I added more flour and it seems to be rising ok...Pizza on the horizon...Canadian bacon and roasted asparagus

I stopped at the liquor store because it is across from the post office. We do not drink every week but it felt like we needed bourbon and port. Bourbon no issue but oddly almost no port. I am not sure what to attribute that to. Also got some limoncello for recipes

My husband asked me, "Can you cut my hair?" The dialogue was awesome and we were laughing the whole time. He has really awesome curly hair, and a lot of it. So, I set up the chair, and never having held hair hair scissors, I went to work. Hubby: You can't possibly do as bad as the cheap cut place. They give me a shitty haircut. DH: Well, this is going to be a free shitty haircut. Hubby: Should we watch a youtube vid? DH: Nah, It'll be fine. Hubby: Is this like your Salon Barbie head? DH: You don't want to be her Hubby: How long, before she was bald? DH: First day...hold still. Hubby: Try the clippers. DH: Honey, you love me right? <more snipping> Hubby: You are not instilling me with a lot of confidence with that statement. DH: It's not that bad. Hubby: <laughing> It grows fast. <more snipping> DH: Oh, oops. Hubby: Maybe cut a little and we can look and then cut more later. <more snipping> DH: We should have bought a flowbee. <more laughing> DH: OK, I think...yeah, that's OK. <Hubby runs his hands through his hair and looks in the mirror> DH: Maybe, take a shower, and it will look better. Hubby: We can talk about your tip later.

Wow, tough crowd. I love it. Thanks all

I have probably known for at least a year that it was time for hearing aids. I asked @Airehead, my sister in law, my boss and a couple other people questions and all were helpful, but I was never ready to make the leap. During our vacation, I read an article by a hearing impaired person. He had using hearing aids for years but had grown disillusioned by the hearing centers that had become more sales oriented and less about the right solution. I had seen and heard about that in our area. In his research, he found several online hearing companies with high customer satisfaction ratings with much lower prices. I looked around myself and decided to try Lively. There was an online hearing test. It was a little simplistic, but came out about where I expected. There was also a short Q & A about hearing and health issues. The cost was about 1/2 what I had see. For similar devices locally. I made the leap. The devices arrived Wednesday night. I had my first consultation Thursday morning. The Dr video conferenced to give me a walk through and set a follow up appointment in 2 weeks. So far I have noticed a crispness to sound I had not heard in a while. My left ear was more deteriorated than my right. It was a small revelation to hear music in my car in a way I had not heard in quite some time! Today we took the Miata out on a windy day. I set them to outdoor mode which is supposed to help filter wind noise. It seemed to work! It cut down the wind noise, but I could still hear WoW when she spoke. She commented early in the drive how much easier it was to talk to me! One of my biggest challenges is hearing in crowds and noisy restaurants. I guess that will have to wait for now. Hoping I’ll be able to test sooner than later!

Is a nice word. Comforting and soft, all nice rounded shapes, no hard edges or harsh sounds.

My local bike group has been continuing their rides, now daily as so many of them are home from work. It’s the same routine as always Meet at a coffee shop (now take-out only), ride to another, repeat, turn around and head home. No pace lines anymore, goal of keeping 6’ apart from each other. But is it worth it, really? It strikes me as somewhat less irresponsible than partying on a beach at spring break, but way too much risk for my liking. Am I over reacting? I haven’t responded to any of the emails, but I am annoyed by it. Indoor trainer, solo ride, or ride with one training partner for safety seems the more conscientious approach to me.

Is't that how this all started?

Got the walls insulated. Was planning on spending the afternoon re installing the interior panels, but got tired of working in the cold. I'll do that some other day when it warms up a bit.

So has Anastasia.

Was his name (wait for it) ....Mr Whipple? I'm in Bend so need to go get some fresh fruit, bread and a few other things. Maybe some rice-pasta

I think I'm going to start building a car like this

Flakes in the air here..but I'm going to make popcorn

I've wanted to do that for the things I have. I'm afraid my "good" meals are your "leaner" meals that don't even make your list. I'm pretty sure most nutritionists recommend pop tarts for lunch.

This thread is why people dislike vegans. Enjoy those leather seats you sit on every day you drive to work.

First time at camp in what, two weeks?

18 miles on the gravel bike. Cross county trail past Lake Accotink into West Springfield. Lovely day.

He was trying to score w/ Mary Ann and Ginger. It's not that he couldn't fix the boat, he wouldn't fix the boat

Actually, this mask might be more effective:

I make lemoncello, so I still have a pretty good supply of that, but my bottle of Jameson Black Barrel is about half gone. Almost time to panic!

...reminds me of the old joke where the punch line is:

It's a fine line between issuing orders without the declaration of marshal law and directing public behavior in the interest of public safety.

Almost finished...

I'm a 66 yr old Clydesdale and yes, I do eat pie, that's why I'm a Clydesdale. LOL. I ride a 2019 Trek Dual Sport 3. The closest bike shop to me is about 30 miles (48km) from me. They treat their customers like royalty. I live in rural N IL, USA

I like to hit the marshes a little later in the year when the marshmallows are in bloom.

Wow - youse guys make killer pizzas!

This will be next..even if it snows

I had popcorn..not quality like Jolly Time..but it satisfied my popcorn urge. Tomorrow will be pizza..I hope

I just finished mine: steamed trout wth abit of soy sauce, oil, ginger, onion and garlic. Stir fry noodles with shanghai bok choy, peppers and onion.

I don't want to suggest that I'm behind the times, but my bedside clock radio has a built in cd player. I'm so hip.

I'm enjoying the sun, and a few heinys in my pint glass from a gravel race Cheers

If you drive fast enough, you can outrun the Corona virus.

It’s called frogaroni
