Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Instead of a wet hen, you'll have a damp hubby.

-> The smoker is on the porch so unless the rain comes at an angle, he will
-> (and did) stay dry. That was more of a tom size bird (21lbs) than the
-> one we oven roasted (15lbs) today. Got a good deal on a fresh bird
-> yesterday so snagged it.

 RH> That was going around.  The frozen ones keep, but they mark the fresh
 RH> ones down to get rid of them.  Wish I could have taken advantage of
 RH> that, but the one I thought my sister was snagging is still in the
 freezer.

Ours is ccoked, cut up and in the fridge & freezer.

->  RH> I start in January!

-> I started the new year fighting bronchitis in LVNV. Got back 2 weeks
-> into the year, took off for a long week end in NY at the end of the
-> month. Got home, turned around and spent a longer time on the road mid
-> to late February. Home, then Steve's back surgery in mid April, travel
-> in early to mid July, late July to late August and mid to late October.
-> I'm surprised at the amount of sewing I've managed to get done this
-> year, even if it isn't all I've wanted to do.

 RH> You've been a bit busy. I'm fighting something off myself at the
 RH> moment and praying it doesn't turn into anything else.

Let's hope/pray not. I'm fighting finding enough decent hours in the day
to work on sewing. Seems there's always something else competing for the
time I want to spend in the sewing room.

-> Your whole cost of living is higher than ours. Steve did get the nickel
-> off for a total of 60 cents/gallon off the fill up.

 RH> Sure seems to be.  My heating bill is higher for certain.

But our cooling bill is probably higher.


->  RH> the kind with the fake vinegar and all.  Another friend's dog would
->  RH> chow down on anything but green pepper or raw onion.

-> The cat I referred to was found as a kitten living in Army barracks (so
-> was named Barracks), eating whatever the GIs fed him. OTOH, Sam was
-> gently raised by a young family that had a child about the same age,
-> who probably dropped a lot of food for the dog.

 RH> Dogs also tend to eat anything and everything.  Cats only do that if
 RH> they're
 RH> alley or barn cats.  Barracks fit the bill.  They probably fed him on
 RH> mess hall chow.  I'll bet he liked scrambled eggs.

No telling what his tastes were. He wasn't our cat so I didn't hear too
much about his wierd like or dislikes. Jenny-cat, our feline furry we
had at the same time, absolutely hated lamb and rice--to the point where
she went on a hunger strike.

-> ->  RH> It might be time to moove on; this one's a (cow) flop.

-> -> As long as we steer in the right direction................

->  RH> Away from Hugh Heifer's house?

-> To the calf-eteria?

 RH> In New Jersey.

Just as long as you're not blowing your long horn.
