Aw be adventurous... it's Sunday! It might unlock a "superpower" you didn't
know you had! :-) I'm going up to make breakfast now.... thick cut slices of bacon from my buddy's pigs [ he finished them off with last year's maple syrup, carrots, milk and apples] I got a 150 lbs of home-grown pork in the freezer. I'll also fry up some fresh eggs... fresh like I go out and collect them from the chook coop. The lady up the road trades us fresh home baked bread for eggs.... I'll slice some of that up and toast it.... does that ever go down nice with homemade butter and the jams/jellies we made last month. CM "jlrogers" wrote in message t...

Oh, my God, fresh eggs, from free ranging chickens too, I'll bet! Home
cured pork and home made jam. Fresh baked bread. Brings back 1949 - 1956 for me, when I lived on a farm. Please tell me the butter is fresh churned, and that you and the cats and the dogs all have a bit of warm cream in your wiskers. "Capt.Mooron" wrote in message news:T1Dkf.151802$yS6.40978@clgrps12...

Are you replacing it with a larger one? (Serious question, not a dig!)
Yep. The original is tiny, so we need to upgrade in size. The hoses are also original, so now is a good time to replace with new. When spring comes I want as little worry about as possible, so I'm planning to do lots of stuff now. Also on the schedule: Install new stereo head unit with Ipod and DVD Install 20 inch LCD flat screen and 7 inch screen aft. Install Garmin 192 Install additional interior lights Replace spreader lights Re-repair original thru-hull for AC which was relocated. Set up genset platform for quick installation of Genset and pre-wire. RB 35s5 NY |
