===================
Hola Michael!

->  -> Pork is wonderful in its way, but I can eat two or three
->  -> pounds of beef at a sitting and maybe one of pork.
->  HN> We're talking BBQ here, I like beef just as much
->  HN> as anyone, but BBQ needs pork !! shredded, ribs
->  HN> even my chili usually has some pork in it! I like
->  HN> burgers, and steaks, and roast beest as well...
-> 
-> I loves me brisket. Can't do without it for an extended
-> period ... of course, pork crackling is one of the great
-> pleasures, too.
-> 
For me brisket is "ok", I didn't grow up eating it like I
did with pork. Anne prefers brisket as well...for me 
it can only be BBQ if it's pork...even beef ribs don't
seem to hit that same spot of satisfaction that pork 
does. Didn't get to stop by either Manilla diner or 
Unka Thurm's that day...sometimes life just gets 
so busy. Now Annie and I are back on the induction
phase of the south beach diet again so virtually no
carbs for a couple of weeks...we're hoping to knock 
off a bunch of weight before springtime.
-> =
-> 
->  HN> Yep, amazing what they can do! 
->  HN> "So Simple a six year old can do it!" 
->  HN> (six year old not supplied in package!!)
-> 
-> Kid charged me 50 smackers for fixing two laptops. I gave
-> him an extra 25 because it was his 16th birthday earlier
-> in the week. I was going to give him more, but the ATM card
-> didn't behave, and that was all the cash I had. The ATM
-> card worked later in the day, though.
->
I'm sure he appreciated it...and will be willing
to go an extra mile for you in the future if need 
be! That could prove to be a good investment!
BTW how's the new box holding up now?
 
->  -> This new box seems to be working okay now, but who knows if
->  -> that n+1th shoe will drop.
->  HN> Hold your breath and go on faith!
-> 
-> When the ATM refused me, I thought maybe that was the next
-> shoe; but I guess the stock market is perhaps it, even though
-> I am not highly exposed (having spent all my money).
-> 
I have not needed to touch any of my funds there, so
they will just sit and wait for a recovery...which hopefully
will happen sometime before MY expiration date....(girn)
-> =
->  -> Interestingly, the guys I met in SZG tower were
->  -> incredibly laid back. Of course, they only had to
->  -> control a dozen aircraft apiece, so I suppose that
->  -> that might have contributed to the feeling.
->  HN> That may be part of it, and the other part
->  HN> might be that the management "behaves"
->  HN> when witnesses are present. (grin). They
->  HN> do that in the Postal Service too.
-> 
-> Not sure that they have a routine, as they don't normally
-> allow lay observers. This was kind of a special occasion,
-> sort of like visiting where Richie Sexson used to park
-> his truck.
->
Heck, we can drive down to his house next time, he
lives somewhere down near the Columbia River, 
White Salmon I think.
 
->  HN> Might be stopping in at the Manilla diner
->  HN> today, I'll be in that area around lunchtime.
->  HN> Or may stop by Uncle Thurms just to pick
->  HN> up some greens "to go" on my way home!
-> 
-> Thing about greens is that I can make them myself,
-> whereas smoking stuff and frying stuff are way beyond me.
->
I can do them all, but it takes time and
often that's the commodity that I have 
the least to spare in a day! Now that 
baseball's over I am spending a bit more 
time on watercolors, and am quite busy
working on a Christmas card project as 
well. I was planning on going down to
Portland this weekend to photo work a
Harpguitar festival (pro bono work) but 
working the numbers it was just a bit too
expensive for me this month, so I had to
bow out...dang it.
 
-> Beef Brisket
-> cat: text only, beef, BBQ
-> yield: 1 text only
->
Now that's a flash from the past! Wonder
what  ever happened to Kathy? Would be
nice to let her know we are all still here and
miss her!
 
I might have done a different rub on the brisket than 
she did and the marinade would have been a bit 
different too...but it DID make my mouth water!
chat with you soon!
