Happy Friday everyone, another long week is over.

 

Infrastructure upgrade on campus going on now. First they are setting new manhole then trenching, running conduits and pouring concrete for the duct banks. All in time for spring graduation.

 

Looks like archery season.

 

Yours may catch on here this time of year. The nesting roadrunners are snatching them up left and right. Unbeknownst to the one on my truck, all I did was drive from the rear of the office to the front...and parked under a tree where there's and active roadrunner nest. There we parted ways, so he may well be very easy pickins. But, had he been in cognito, it may well have fooled the keen eye of the wiley roadrunner.

 

Beautiful country out there Tim. Enjoy!!!

 

Well, I was able to leave work early today! And I didn't sit around to waste the afternoon.

I had an interview! If the offer package is good I just may have a new employer. The position is back in Manufacturing Engineering where most of my career has been.

 

If my pee would settle and look like that I’d be a hurtin unit

 

I’m not sure what they would test for but I know there is ethanol in there somewhere.

 

@Cypherian have another IP reciepe for you to try. Ham and Bean soup.

Used ham bone stock to start with. Had a hock left over from Christmas it was a spiral cut ham that I double smoked and glazed.



Put the hock in the Instant Pot this morning covered with water and let go for 2 hours on HP and warm for 2 hours. Then used the stock pot to separate the bone and meat from the broth.



Love the IP the more I use it. It would have taken 24 hours in the past on the stove.

Put 6 cups stock in the IP and then my secret ingredient. Normally when doing it on the stove I would saute the onions, celery and carrots in bacon grease. So I put a rather large spoonful of filtered bacon grease in with the stock. Because Bacon flavor.



Did a PIT ham double smoked and double glazed for Easter, and cubed up a couple of pounds of that.



Smokey ham bone broth and smokey ham is a good thing for great soup.







Turned out so damn good going to have another bowl.

1 lb. Navy beans, rinsed and sorted
1.5-2lbs left over ham, chunked\cubed
6 cups pork bone stock
1 Tablespoon bacon grease
1 large red onion, diced
3-4 celery stalks, cut small
5-6 carrots, cut a little bigger
1 tsp garlic or 3-4 cloves
1/2 tsp oregano
2 Bay Leaves
3 Sprigs of Fresh Thyme
1/2 tablespoon basil
3 splashes Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 tsp course black pepper
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
salt and pepper at end to taste
Dump all into the IP, navy beans first. Set for 50 mins max pressure, natural release. When the cooking cycle ends, let it naturally release pressure for 20-30 minutes. Then stir S&P to taste.

 

I absolutely HATE HATE HATE 4 wide.
So far away from 2 of the cars.
Not as many runs for the show.
There is always confusion.
Can’t see if there is a problem 3 lanes over.
Pure garbage....

 

Thank you! I never got the 4 lane crap.

 

That’s exactly what it is. Always trying to reinvent the wheel.
Leave shit alone.

 

Looks like the ground is thawing

Get that Guy standing there a Brain Bucket! Lol

Enchilada night at local diner

 

The 1rst ever 4 wide drag race I believe was at Englishtown or the US Nationals back in the late 60's early 70's

 

Fk a damn hardhat. In all my years of having to wear those stupid things, the only time and the only reason I ever hit my head was because of those stupid things. I still have 3. One in the garage that retired when I did. One under the backseat of my work truck and another in my dumptruck for when I go into any of the local places that require them (by MSHA) when you're out of you vehicle. I was even interviewed by OSHA on an unannounced call and I told him I have one but don't wear it. He said that was fine.
