That gray matter between your ears. You know you can't eat all that squash you planted. And the neighbors are sick of it too.

Oh, and this . . .

Helps if the back is strong. The little woman's that is. Somebody has to pull weeds while you're out fishing or golfing.

A Fire Extinguisher!

At least one somewhere in your home that you will be able to find in a hurry.

Speaking of squash . . . I had no idea how prolific okra is. Y'all get prepared to find a bag or two set by your back screen door.

That's if I can get the Mrs to stop running the tiller across the rows instead of between them. She just don't seem to respect all the hard work I did finding all the seeds and plants for the garden.

So okay back to grilling, seem I got sidetracked. Briquets! And plenty of 'em! And a telephone, you never know when you might need to call 9-11 when the little woman is out there grillin'. Next to the garden.

A grill that'll get hot enough. I've had too many roasted steaks. Sear, baby, sear.

Obviously nobody figured out I read the article on gardening first then misread the ots question. Either that or you're being kind to the old guy with dementia. Or else you're being kind. Nah, I don't see that happening . . .

Get those meds mixed up again?

RoeDapple 7 years ago

Yeah. . uh, Zen. Yup, that's my story and I'm gonna stick to it. Deep. Far out.

RoeDapple 7 years ago

Was just informed I don't have dementia, but am somewhat demented . . . I think she is just being kind . . .

Seems there's gonna be a doin's next Sunday round here and the Mrs don't want no messes in the yard while all the cuzins is here. Happy Fathers Day to you too autie.

She's probably right cus they would probably have set them on fire themselves along with everything else.

LadyJ 7 years ago

Autie print some pics off of this site and leave them lay around. Hint, probably should pick the ones without the girls in them. http://www.milehidistilling.com/Alcohol_reflux_still_moonshine_pot_distillers_s/2.htm

A tie? Hell, unless the suit and tie I wore to the wedding gets lost or burned or a tornady blows it away I only need it one more time so's I look passable in the pine box. I been knowed to attend church services in the same camo the deer stand sees me in. A man gots to have his priorities. If they just pick up one of them DQ ice cream cakes I'll be happy as a possum eatin' the dog's food. I got so much stuff now I don't have time for all of it
