    Have you tried mothballs? Some animals don't like the scent and will leave.

    What I have done is kinda gross. I pee in a sprayer and circle the garden with an unbroken line. Keeps out rabbits and maybe deer. Does nothing for the Armadillo.

    This is of utmost importance.This quote may say more about our
    current status as the preeminent country in world history.
    I left blank the word that makes it what it is.
    " I can never remember a time when I didn't
    want to be a { ****** } ".

    That quote and the individual who uttered it is now
    close to being a thing of the past.And for the most
    bizarre of reason.Or should I say selfish.Which was NOT
    { especially NOT } what our Founders intended.
    Of course our Founders did not intend for there to
    be stuff like Corn Dogs and cotton candy.But that's
    a nutter topic for another day.

    Happy Sunday, barflies. Man, I remember hanging around at the bar on Sunday afternoon... back when private clubs were the thing. Shooting pool, watching football, drinking bloody Mary's. Can still remember how it smelled... stale smoke and spilt beer. Make a good candle scent. ;)

    I have an old iron fry pan that is wonderful it beats all of the modern cast iron. Nothing sticks to it.

    The stupid fire alarm went off this morning. We bought it because it had a 10-year guarantee, that was a joke. Not a very funny one at that.

    I’ve put a lot of old cast iron cook ware through my blast cabinet for my wife. She has a hell of a collection going. Some of it old enough to have come west on a covered wagon. Love cooking on old cast.

    On correctly tempered cast iron you can't beat it. I love my cast iron. Everything tastes better when cooked or baked in cast iron.

    Plus they're virtually indestructible.You could find one rusting in
    the corner of a Barn for 50 years and still clean up.YouTube used to
    have videos as to how to clean a rusty Cast Iron skillet.
    There are different techniques.Plus Cast Iron has to be seasoned.
    I like washing my skillets.I don't use cast iron.
    I think I ruined an expensive aluminum cooking/sautee skillet by
    washing after each use.Aluminum does not rust.But it does corrode.
    Sometimes worsted than Message Board posters.

    I have a lot of cast iron and even some pressing iron from way back, family hand me downs. I have cast iron trivets all around the top of my kitchen. People always comment on them and want to know how long it took me to collect them. The hardest part of keeping them is taking them down to clean.

    The neighborhood methhead's trailer burned to the ground, this morning. Then, he went off screaming at everyone.

    Other than that, not much is new. I'm tending my own garden.

    How're you all doing?

    They problem I have is they are very heavy and bulky.
    But there is a market for them.A lot of times they get thrown
    out or taken for granted as being lost.They end up in backyards
    with old lawnmowers.

    Mickey Rourke played a Meth Cook in :
    - Spun - { 2002 } Ironically one of the leads { Brittany Murphy }
    ended up dead in what appears could have been a murder.
    Her and her boyfriend under Federal surveillance.Her boyfriend ended
    up dead in the same manner months after her death.
    I Like a lot of Rourke movies.
    - Rumble Fish - { 1983}
    Rourke used to still be a Catholic.Whenever back in N.Y.city he
    would go find a Priest and make a Confession.
    Kinda like in - Angel Heart - { 1987 }
    - Barfly - { 1987 }

    Well, they moved us into Phase 1 of reopening. Those in private offices will go back first. I won't go back til Phase 3... if then. Will telework as long as I can. If forced back downtown before I'm ready, it'll just be to clean out my desk. I'm spoiled now... point of no return.

    Sounds like you had a very exciting day.

    Tending a garden is a good way to spend the day. I should say good way to spend the morning can't work outside in all this heat in the afternoon.
