Cigarette butts and other trash left in the fire pit by a previous occupant of our camping site

The fire pit at our site. Don’t be this kind of camper. This will cause the camp host to wish the fleas of 1,000 camels to infest your armpits.

#Moochdocking is the best RV travel stop experience. A few days with a real bathroom and visiting cherished friends is priceless

We're on the eastern side of the Central time zone. Tonight we "spring ahead". Tomorrow we cross into the Eastern time zone.

Yep, you read that right, my dumb ass travel plan is giving us a TWO HOUR "spring ahead" tomorrow just to really f-up our circadian rhythm

Okay, ended up with one t-shirt and and bottle of Family Reserve.

There's nothing better than meal planning! I can eat the same thing over and over (wife can't) so often we end up with leftovers that I end up eating for breakfast

Last of the smoked turkey from the freezer turned into a pot pie. Peas, celery, carrots, kholrabi plus herbs on the inside with a can of cream of jalapeΓ±o. Store bought puff pastry.

Open to ideas for a homemade version of a β€œcream of” soup to lose the processed stuff.

I might have my terminology wrong, but I'm not going to text him to ask - you'll get the gist I'm sure

My BIL was a radarman (back in the day of the "waterfall") on a nuclear missile boat. Said it was great. Of course he's only 5'6" and a buck 20 sopping wet, so didn't have an issue with space πŸ˜‚. Still says he'd do it again though.

And to NOT have to go on the weekend 'cause you're in the barrel for the man Mon-Fri is its own cause for celebration!

Agreed about the vacuum packer - that thing has saved us serious money over the years

It was pretty damn good. I’m sorry to have missed the charro beans and the turkey. Today was a drive day and we didn’t get there until 1345 - I expected them to be out of something, but the turkey? Dammit!

I’m kicking myself for forgetting to mention that they threw in that little chunk of burnt ends for free!

Lunch at Sunbird BBQ, Longview TX - another Tx Monthly Top 50 Joint. Brisket 🀌, sausage πŸ’―, street corn 🀀. Sauce a little sweet but good. Sold out of ribs, turkey and charro beans by the time we got there ☹️.

Tried to watch some Olympic hockey - apparently my brain doesn't work fast enough to figure it out

Walked the trash to the dumpsters, there was some woman there saying they were full and she'd take it to the other dumpsters. Told her I'd take care of it and heaved it into the back of the dumpster, telling her I didn't want her going through my trash. F'n weirdo got offended.

Mild preference for SEA, mostly to piss off some really good friends who are rabidly obnoxious Pats fans, but beyond that I don't really care who wins

We ended up making a spinach-artichoke dip and eating that we some of our sourdough. Looks like it's going to be sausage & onion pizza later.

Slight preference for SEA but I'm not going to let it ruin the day if the Pats pull out a win. Just gotta savor this last one before the dry spell!

Yeah, we quit going to SB parties long ago ... it's just impossible to watch the game. We've got sausage, artichokes, and mushrooms on hand ... not sure if we're going to make pizza or quesadillas - we'll figure that out later
