Alternatively 3 scrambled eggs w cheese, raisin toast and cheese grits.

Also Bojangles is an acceptable hangover breakfast substitute.

One of the worst things that's happened to me that they put a new Bojangles like three minutes from my place, and I've definitely taken advantage

LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AS IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT!
I learned a fairly gross wildlife fact today that I'll spoiler for you:

Killed a 7 point buck, it was ok size at 140 lbs but had a very nice wide rack. I only have one set of horns mounted, so I decided to keep the skull for a European skull mount- basically, just the top of the skull and horns. This meant skinning it and taking off the lower jaw, which are steps you don't normally take when you're not keeping anything for a trophy. If you're just taking meat, you cut the head off and it goes in the gut pile.

So I took this bucks's lower jaw off, and inside its sinus cavity, it was riddled with live maggots.

My first thought was some kind of abcess in its teeth, but none existed. We still hung the meat in the walk-in cooler, but I was leery of keeping it. I did some googling and apparently, it's a fairly common thing that I have never ever seen before; botflies lay eggs in the deer's sinus cavities and they grow in their sinuses, sometimes even reproducing so much the deer suffocates.

Every source swears up and down it does not affect the meat at all.

Roundabout chat:

We came up to a roundabout that’s been there for at least a decade, and they’ve been in use/common in our area for longer, and some guy was reversing down the road towards me against the flow of traffic, stopped, hung out for a second, then gassed it and turned left onto the roundabout and made it 1/4 of the way around before going “hmm…no that doesn’t seem right…” and stopping. By that time I was through and gone, but unless they got their driver’s license ten minutes beforehand, how do you not know how to use one THAT badly


Waffle House chat: In honor of the last round of Waffle House chat I made my own version of pecan waffles for breakfast the other week and it was great

I’ve been spending a lot more of my time and weekends with the girlfriend (yay!) and we don’t really drink a lot together (also yay!) but the last couple of weekends I’ve made time to hang out with friends which involved drinking and whew, some of these mornings have been rough after taking some drinking time off

I had four beers over the course of like six hours on Saturday, which is the most I’ve had in months. My stomach was not prepared.

D'oh. Hope your dryer situation gets fixed soon.

I'll probably take down the outside lights this weekend but it feels like sacrilege to do it before we've had a proper snowstorm. Indoor, upstairs decorations will be next weekend. Then the stuff in the basement whenever I get around to it. Christmas doesn't exactly end in this house it just kinda recedes like the tide. There's a tree in the workshop/storage room that just stays out all year though I don't turn it on.

Just bought a new Speed Queen dryer (DR5003WE) from Greentoe. More than what Costco is but from what everything I read, these are built to last like commercial dryers and that's exactly what I want. Plain dials, set it and forget it.

Having a 3 day weekend is nice, was able to spend Saturday and Sunday cleaning, and still a day to bask in a clean house.

In sort of a catch-22 situation with my 14 year old dog, where she should probably get to the vet at some point since her health is slowly declining, but she has enough pep where you cannot comfortably commit to getting her euthanized. She had bloodwork as a prerequisite for a teeth cleaning, and they said she was not healthy enough to get anesthesia due to liver issues, with a thought that she might have liver cancer and they wanted to give her an MRI and do a bunch more bloodwork to confirm that diagnosis. We declined, because even if she had cancer we were not going to put a 14 year old dog through chemo/surgery. It feels like she is too healthy to put down, but not healthy enough to try and fix anything. I am assuming whenever the next vet appointment is will be the last one, but it feels so ... discretionary, like we get to choose when we get rid of her.

This is almost exactly me with my 17 year old cat. Went to the vet in November and they did an x-ray and found a mass in her lung. They said it's 90% certain it's cancer. I declined to do a biopsy or do more treatment since my cat is old, and they said treatment usually only extends the cat's life by a few months. She seems generally fine, still eating, still meowing, but I can tell she's not eating as much, and is really slowing down. The amount of time she spends resting is even higher than normal. I have a feeling she's going to seem fine until all of a sudden she won't be and then I'll have to make the call.

My reflexive mental balking at that amount of butter is why whenever I make Indian food it never tastes as good as a restaurant. I know adding a stick of butter per serving of curry will make it taste great, but when I see it in-front of me my brain screams that it is way too much.
