Looks like a good one.<br /><br />I'm not sure what happened to the tire, or as my english friends would say, tyre. Most likely I scuffed/cut the sidewall and then it blew out. Glad it didn't happen at highway speeds.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy your feast today.<br /><br />I plan to work on the rant today, as long as I can avoid unexpected ranch duties.PrairieAdventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466447251827774900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-60002831031690017662015-11-27T17:38:16.497-07:002015-11-27T17:38:16.497-07:00It can get pretty out here at times.

Triple Yum! I shall be having my Th...Corn Pudding! Triple Yum! I shall be having my Thanksgiving on Saturday, having to work the rest of the week. I have not had a Saturday off since June of last year. Since I am a bachelor, I am not going to bother with a turkey, but will make a turkey roll instead. But since the one I bought is a dark meat one, that is just fine with me, as I prefer dark meat.<br /><br />Back in the 1980's, a man named John Louis Anderson wrote a book about being Scandinavian in the Upper Midwest, Scandinavian Humor, and Other Myths. One of the things he wrote about was the pot luck suppers held in the Fellowship Halls of the Lutheran churches, held by the ladies of the Congregation, the Lutheran Ladies, if you will. He listed about a dozen hot dishes, and was kind enough to give a definition of ot dish, as I am told that outside of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa, they are called casseroles, for some reason. He did not give any recipies, as everyone knows what tuna noodle surprise is, for example. Alas, becuse of his reticense, I know not what goes into Turkey Lurkey Hoo Hah! So I had to develop it myself. <br /><br /> It is a well known phenomenon, that turkey tastes better the second day. So one starts with a thick layer of mashed potatoes on the plate, add a layer of chopped turkey, a layer of stuffing, and one of corn pudding. Cover with lots of gravy, and nuke it 'til it glows! Zounds, but that is good! Since I am starting with a turkey roll, I shall have no problem in producing a Turkey Lurkey Hoo Hah! on Saturday night. Washed down with cranberry juice, and milk, it will be a splendid meal on a crisp November Saturday night. <br /><br />Did you have a flat, or an actual blow out? I have had flats, but only one actual blow out, so far in my life. When I had my full sized Chevy 4X4 pickup, man was I prepared for that sort of thing. Under the topper, among the other stuff, was a 2 ton floor jack, a 25 ton hydraulic bottle jack, a gas generator, tools, and a bag with an electric impact wrench, and sockets. I even had a 700 degree heat gun, in case the lug nuts needed help, or, on a bitter night, the hydraulics were jelled. Power tools make everything easier. I woulld stop for people broken down, and have them on their way in 10 minutes. I have a story about doing that that makes me smile, 18 years after it happened, if you would care to hear it, in which I was accused of being an angel.<br /><br />I am glad you had a superb Thanksgiving, and eagarly anticipate the Rant you promied us Wednesday. Unless a Turkey Dinner has mellowed you out!SCOTTtheBADGERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859188068159799373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-48336168025248013862015-11-27T12:03:52.628-07:002015-11-27T12:03:52.628-07:00The stark beauty of winter.
