    Tell me a joke...

    I married a woman from Missouri who had a whole life of abuse before I met her. She'd vowed to go "Lorena Bobbitt" on the next man to abuse or hurt her. Guess who was next? Is it any wonder I've referred to her as my Darling Bride since 1990 and serve her coffee in bed every morning? :oops:

    What have you done for fun lately?

    Sing snot & booger songs with your kid and anything else that makes their Mom look at you with a combination of disgust and delight. The brightness in their smile when you talk fun things on their level, but keeping that parent/child relationship intact... that's fun!

    What's for dinner ?

    I'm terrified that will become my Darling Bride's new theme song when she's mad at me - this thing is huge and she can't miss! UPDATE: The Chicken Parmesan knocked it out of the park. There are a gazillion recipes for Chicken Parm, but this one is the #1 bomb-diggety version and I'll put it up...

    What's for dinner ?

    I've been tempering a new carbon steel wok this morning (that takes time), so I'm planning simple chicken parmesan over pasta for dinner.

    This is a quote from my Navy mentor, and it has served us well in life: "You get what you inspect, not what you expect."

    What's the weather like where you are?

    I finally got my Tempest weather station mounted! After determining that there was no way we were going to install it at the very top of the roof (not with a 45-degree angle and no traction), my Plan B was to remove the old satellite dish we no longer use (we got tired of paying for 200 channels...

    Post Your Last Purchase

    I bought a Tempest weather station. Then I thought I'd mount it at the top of our roof so it has accurate wind readings. Once I had the mount assembled and aligned to true north, it dawned on me that we have a 45-degree roof and no way to safely get up there. Plan B is either (a) pay an...

    What's for dinner ?

    Our American Legion Riders had a chili cook-off this evening and I worked on a huge crockpot full of chili. The Darling Bride and I got there with it, only to find 11 more crockpots full of chili! We ate, and ate, and ate... we've been home an hour and I'm still too full to burp.

    There's actually a psychological term for that. It's The Abilene Syndrome.

    The (Official?) “I’m Married” Thread

    Ah, married life... My Darling Bride had asked me to pick up a nice, big pork roast that she could cook. No problem, I was going to the store anyway... and one of the things I picked up was a massive beef chuck roast for the crockpot. I prepared said roast this morning, covered up with potatoes...

    What have you done for fun lately?

    I generally give the Darling Bride the even years off for April Fools, saving it up for the odd years. I have pulled some stunts on her, however. Last year, while she was still sleeping, I quietly turned our living room into a strip club: complete with red lights, a table with beverage and a...
