Putting out nearly a dozen pumpkins and watching the squirrels eat them one buy one.  I'll cut a hole in them one at a time and the squirrels will go in bring a pumpkin seed out, shell it and eat the inside.  It's really entertaining to watch and hardly no mess cause they eat everything.  

So YOURE one of those feeding the little fluffy rats! Lol.  The squirrels in our neighborhood don’t need additional food, they all look very “healthy”.  A few years ago our neighbors had 2 pumpkins on their front steps.  We watched the squirrels chew their way inside and suddenly a pumpkin was rolling down the sidewalk with a squirrel inside, like a hamster wheel!  It was very funny.  

We had a squirrel problem at our old house....until we had a hawk problem.  Apparently Cooper's Hawks love squirrels and blue jays.

Feel free to bring some cooper’s to our house…

Thanks to a tip from GrandForksGopher (former GPLer), bought myself five Paqui One Chip Challenges at a local Walgreen's. One chip, flavored with Carolina Reaper AND Scorpion Pepper. I've done the challenge before, and it's like shoving an oven in your mouth, but with flavor. Smile
For those who wonder, this video is pretty accurate (Safe For Work, btw):

Someone didn't heed the warning on the chip, or the website, etc.

I made the perfect soup today.  No soup in the history of humans has ever tasted better.
I want my Michelin Star.

This soup would make your toes curl and you’d scream for “mommy.”  You would get up mid bowl and walk down the street contemplating if everything you’ve learned to this point was a lie.  

You’d sign over your life savings to me and follow me as your new religion.

A friend of mine knows the motorcoach driver for Mn. State hockey team. I’ve meet him a few times. He has a sweet gig. Drives the team to and from for a few series’s. And the ones Mn. State flies to, he drives the motorcoach out and meets the team and hauls them around for the weekend.

So are you going to tell us what kind?  My hubby makes soup every Sunday night and I either make fresh bread or popovers.

Note: Due to inflation dirty deeds will no longer be done dirt cheap.

A couple important ingredients….pearl onions and aromat seasoning.

Finishing harvest 1 day ahead of the Big Weekend Series. Other than a blown tire on a wagon, it went pretty smooth. Can now relax and enjoy the games at Mariucci without any thoughts that I should be working...

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

Wife takes her van in for a oil change.  They call her back with nearly $4,000 in repairs.  She sends me a itemized list and I get it down to $401 in repairs.  Either I can do it myself, one thing I'll take elsewhere and get it for half what they are asking and all the rest is stuff that doesn't actually need repair now, it "might" need repair in the future.

You turn it off once you are warm... But on those cold mornings when you can't keep your hands warm even with gloves? It is the best thing ever!

Not heated steering wheel as such, but the heated handgrips on the motorcycle are amazing.  10 settings to the heat level to keep the fingers working on cold rides.

I’m sure you are the only one up here who doesn’t love heated seats. I don’t have them in my Pilot but my wife does in her Audi and when it’s below 10 we take her car. German cars have some sweet bells and whistles, to the point of excess. They do lack for cup holders tho.

All these bells and whistles, and meanwhile, when I bought my current vehicle, I had to figure out how the power windows work (specifically, how do you make them stop halfway down?). Not even joking. The radio I figured out in 2 shakes of a rat's d*k (yes, I know I'm getting that phrase wrong). Never had any of that stuff in my previous vehicles.

Heated seats and steering wheel as fantastic.  Even better, when I use the remote start my truck it recognizes the temp and turns on the heated seats and steering wheel if needed.

However, there is something better than heated seats; ventilated seats are spectacular.

After watching the Gophers/UND game on Tv in our hotel in Duluth. The wife and I went to OC for dessert. Played ‘On wisconSIN’ and the ‘Rouser’ on the TouchTunes. There was several eyes looking around to see who was the menace.

In the limited circumstance of being in Duluth on a night when the BADgers beat up on UMTP at Amsoil, I suggest it be let go.

Just tweaked the page so all the songs play on the page instead of sending you to another site.

As a bonus at the bottom, I added Malaguaña... Which is played in the concourse after a victory.
