I drive past this gazebo in Alba Texas every weekend. This week I looked a little closer and saw what the roof was made out of! Thie pic is a little blurry, I took it with a cell phone driving at 30 mph.

QuoteWhat do you do with the old dish?
Occasionally I take her out for a nice meal and a movie. :)
;D ;D ;D
My wife won't let me get away with such comments! ;D
I'm very liberated. ::)
Mine has a very great sense of humor------
and has been working and forgot her computer at the cabin, so hasn't seen it yet. :-/
So I don't know if I got away with it yet or not. I wasn't sure if anyone would remember that phrase --"Wow, she's a real dish." --Must have been 50's or 60's
Besides, Jimmy started it. :'(
How about the old saying "YOUR TOAST" ;D
Good Luck , Your going to need it ;)PEG
This reminds me of a sweetheart name my wife had for me in our early 20s.
She used to call me Her Jimmychanga...
It is a play on the words Jimmy And Chimichanga (a Tex-Mex Dish).
Now in our 40s..She just calls me her "Old burrito"
Stop it guys - you're scaring me. :-/
Now I'm starting to worry about her calling me Gordito or something - see what you started now, Jimmy. :o
Hi, I finally got up to the cabin... Glenn is still working in Napa Valley... he won't check in until tonite - I do have a great name for him... I keep threatening him with posting it on CountryPlans... it starts with a "G" but isn't "gordito"... you might want to ask him about it ;D
They really are probably not interesed in that. :-/
Now, I think I'm gonna have me another bowl of them there baked beans. :)
Jees ya got out of that easy ::) Sassy must not be , ah aha ammmm , well to Sassy ;D
PEG
I've been on the road for a week and she had to work 4 days before that so it's the truce period right now. :)
Lemme know what your secret is....I will call my wife anything but the kitchen sink if she will make homemade baked beans for me! :-*
Benevolance, I think you misunderstand... I try to keep Glenn AWAY from the homemade baked beans! :o
Sassy
Thank you Sassy....
I think I speak for all the CountryPlans members. :o
QuoteWhy's everybody always pickin' on me?"
Charlie Brown
Could be the same reason the Pres. gets picked on , the more ya say the more there is to pick on.
Comes with the job in a way. The little guys , us , like to hows that commerical go , "Stick it to the man"
And I wonder about computer privacy , maybe John's Admin. computer has "Smell a puter" if he's concerned if you have beans :-/ :-/
Is big brother watching / smelling us as we type :o :o >:(
I say have all you want , no skin off , or smell up my nose ;D ;D
I still think Sassy must be a really nice person , ta let ya get away with the old dish crack. You choose wisely Picard ;)
PEG
We have some very powerful admin tools, PEG --shhh - secret.
The old dish crack----I was a victim of Jimmy's posting - it wasn't my fault. :-/

Old H/S buddy of mine was a guard at the ACI, (Adult Correctional Institutation) in RI, BTW ACI = prison, all the inmates had the same line as yours ;D
Any other jobs you once held? ;)
Bookum Dan-o ;D

Man -you are just full of 'em today PEG.
I'm going to have to catch up on my sleep to try to keep up with you. :)

Most say I'm " full of it ", wonder what" it "is ;)
Remember to spring ahead, where burning day light :)

I dunno why you would blame the gas on the beans....It does not matter what I eat...I can still peel paint off the walls! :o
As childish as it may sound I still love to play the fart game in the grocery store...Good harmless fun! Or wake up the wife if you have been extra gaseous just so she can enjoy it with you!
Or make like there is a propane leak or something...Right after you fart and you know it is going to be nasty....Go.. hey babe... do you hear that...Sounds like propane leaking... do you smell it...And she will start smelling like crazy...
hehe...yes good times at the old homestead..Nothing like torturing your wife with silly pranks
-Peter
benevolance... now don't give Glenn any NEW ideas :o -- I guess I'll have to tell you about how he got his pet name...
you've probably read in some of the postings about the methane generator & the gasifier? Well, I told him he didn't have to build one, that we already had the GLENNA$$IFIER!!!
i BETTER WATCH OUT, GLENN MIGHT USE HIS ADMINISTRATIVE POWERS ON ME!!!!
Now that you two have totally drug this conversation down to the gutter----- :-/
being the fair guy that I am I think John will have to be the one to clean this mess up. It would be a conflict of interest if I did it. :-/
butt, pay she will...............
QuoteNow that you two have totally drug this conversation down to the gutter----- :-/
Smells more like a sewer, pee yooo
butt, pay she will...............
No physical violence , But ;D ;D
Well I guess it is a little childish...But I do not watch tv..So I have always entertained myself.
I envision the fart game was super popular back on the old homesteads before TV!
I have always been bad about the gas...
Cleaned out a friends wedding reception hall one time :o..Nobody would go back in.. the band stopped playing for several minutes....I thought it was hilarious... My friends wife still gives me the evil eye when we talk about that....
I stopped worrying about what I was gonna eat a long time ago...I usually have coffee and burritos for breakfast (along with a glass of cranberry juice and 2 vitamins)
If my wife would make baked beans I would eat them every day! I do try to make fire alarm chili at least once a month.
Corned beef and cabbage is another of my favorite meals...I am not talking about those wussy little cans of corned beef...I am talking about Corned beef shoulder. Sad that a lot of grocery stores do not sell it...I have to ask for it.
First snap of cold weather back in Canada we would make either Chili or Crned beef and Cabbage on the woodstove...We never, ever had an electric stove in the house I grew up in...Enterprise woodstove with a oven and a warming rack.
I don't care what anyone says...Food tastes better cooked on the old woodstove.
Beans, bacon, weiners and pepparoni are to die for cooked on the old woodstove.
Lucky my metabolism is high...Else I would be 300 pounds.

I think I have discovered how Glenn Has been off the grid for so long now.

benevolance, I just cooked a corned beef on the old woodstove a few days ago - boiled some potatoes in the pot after the corned beef was done, then added the cabbage. We like that dish, too! I cooked it on St Patrick's day also. We hadn't had it for about a year.
I used to work 12 hr nights in ICU with a couple guys (nurses too) who had some problems with excess flatulance... anyway, they thought it was a special talent... so, amongst all the lovely smells that can come from very sick patients in intensive care & cleaning them up... in fact, one time I had one of the housekeepers come up to me & tell me the bed was leaking oil... you can imagine what was leaking off the end of the bed... will spare you with the details :o I guess I've built up a high tolerance... doesn't mean I like it but have to laugh - it seems guys just like to see what type of response they get from the women around them & the more response, the better they like it :-/ - but we had a lot of laughs working the night shift, tho - one time a patient asked if he could be invited to the party, he thought the nurses station was a bar... (they sometimes get a little hallucinatory with the medications & being sick)
Good picture, Jimmy :-/ - I guess now that I've degraded the forum even more... will get back to the original topic... the old dish (that's what started it... ::) )
We have an old satelite dish - some of those gazebos are kinda cute - you have a ready-made roof. We could possibly use that somewhere up here on the mountain.
:-[ :'(
I try not to do that anymore, Jimmy. I caught my pants on fire doing that once. :-/ The man in the picture is demonstrating the proper technique though. Lighting it squatted down causes the flames to rise between your legs igniting your pants and possibly your beard. :(
In all honesty I felt bad for stinking out the hall...I was younger.. and half drunk at the time...So better judgement was failing me.
But no more immature silliness for me...I am 31 today...It is going to be all mature mannr of fact stately business sort of things from me ::)
Speaking of corned beef....Some people wonder if it was lust, love, companionship, lonliness that makes a man marry his wife..
Me I would be happy with a good corned beef a couple times a year!
;D
I'm withholding comment on this one due to the fragile condition of this thread. :-/
Peter, all this talk about beans caused my wife to go out and buy me several cans of good quality baked beans -- not home-made but still pretty satisfying.
I just ate a whole dish full of them now---yummy.
