Hope You Guys Are Doing Well

Not many posts recently. Spring time is usually slow here. People want to be outside when the weather gets warm.
We have had tons of rain every other day. People are struggling to get their gardens out only to have them get washed off. Know one family who already put theirs out twice this spring and it was washed off both times. They have given up on ever having a garden again.
Jon's Dad and his brother have finally been able to get out their respective gardens. So far their gardens have drained pretty well after heavy rains.

Hope everyone is doing well. Jon and I are doing good. Spike is still growing but it has slowed down now. Last time I weighed him he was just a tiny bit over 2 1/2 pounds. He sould be around 3 1/2 to 4 pounds at the biggest. He is a lot of fun and an expert at naps and eating lol.
 
We are doing OK here in Texas. Most folks are flooded, we need rain really bad. Watering every thing that grows. Keep Jon and Spike on the right track. Get more grass for Spike. CF:)
 
We have nothing but rain here. Thankfully no flooding as of yet. How are your crops doing? Spike and my dog Pooh had their first official little fight yesterday. Spike chomped him on the tail and the dog was going to try and eat him afterwards. Spike had his ears laid back like he was saying bring it on old timer lol. I had to stop that one before it got ugly. Pooh is almost 13, 5 pounds soaking wet and arthritic but after the rabbit bit his tail his whole attitude was ... I'm going to eat that little ***** lol.
Jon sat down yesterday to put his shoes on and the rabbit was chasing Pooh around and around his feet. He laughed so hard he couldnt get his shoes on.
 
Janie, we doing OK. Still very little rain, cool weather, crops look like crap.
But I still have more blessings than one could ever ask for.
That rabbit is something else. Tell me again what kinda grass you been feeding him. LOL CF:)
 
Well I just got done with my first paying gig with the new smoker. I was hired by an auction company to cook on Friday and Saturday for their employees and bank officials at a real estate auction. It went real well and best of all we made a modest profit. They want to hire me again in the future too. :D

Tons of yard work to do. All this rain is causing the grass, weeds, and everything else to grow like crazy.

Next weekend I'll be cooking for our church. Once a month the ladies have a 3 dollar dinner. They supply and cook the main dish chicken, pork, or whatever and people usually bring side dishes to go with it. Everyone donates 3 dollars each for the meal and the ladies make a little profit to help fund their ladies functions.
Because I feel blessed to have the smoker, I offered to do a few pork butts and a case of ribs. It's a small congregation only about 100 members and usually about 80 show up for the dinner.
 
Hi All!

Janie- sounds like your l'il critters are enjoying being rowdy "siblings"! :)

Rick- congratualtions! Sounds like some nice gigs are heading your way. Man, I can see this eventually getting just as big as you can handle. As soon as word of mouth spreads- look out! :)

When I was in high school a dear friend went away to be a Rotary-Exchange student and her folks had a huge open-house-farewell for her. They had a pig-roast and hired a local farmer who had a huge pig-cooker come and set-up in their yard, slow-roast a humungous hog and supply all the sides. This was like 25-26 years ago but I remember they fed an entire yard-full of folks and had everything from potato salad/slaw/baked beans to a huge slab of plywood set up on a pair of saw-horses under a shade-tree where they chopped apart and wedged a wheel-barrow full of watermelons for the crowd. Of all the various shin-digs I've been to and worked in my life and career that one stands out in memory as one the the funnest and one of the tastiest!
 
We are just watching to water rise here in Louisiana. I'm one of the lucky ones. Being in the NW part of the state we are 125 ft above sea level as long as the Mississippi doesn't back up the Red River we will be fine.

Wish I was in your church Rick and would be enjoying something out of your smoker next week.
 
I wish we all lived closer to eachother. I'd love to sit down and eat with all of the people here.

Kevin, believe it or not just this pat weekend I met a guy from the southern part of Louisiana and he was telling me about something called a coon-ass microwave. It's a stainless steel box that you put a whole hog in and set a cover on it which holds charcoal. He said the heat radiates down into the box and cooks the hog. It sounds really cool.

I agree Rick- I want one! :)
 
Rick, a few of the guys around here have one. They cook some good meat. Its not "Q" but is good food. Tender and moist. My Mexican friends cook in a hole. Made in the ground lined with bricks, fire on top of a steel lid. They do wonders with a goat or pork butt. CF:)

As I type this the rabbit is trying to figure out a way to get under the blanket on the floor where the dog is hiding. I would love to borrow a big flemish giant rabbit from someone just long enough to show it to the dog lol. Flemish Giant bunnies get huge. Couldnt you just see the poor dog take one look at the giant bunny and start dragging his little dog bed towards the door to run away from home lol.

shame, shame, shame on you - and I wouldn't blame him if he left his dog bed behind!
that poor dog - with an attack rabbit going after him - I feel sorry for him
LOL
I would buy the biggest stuffed bunny I could and put it in his dogbed---
see what he does then!

In my garden I had a tall standing brown rabbit statue and I had the usual sitting bunny near it and several baby bunnies - really cute - and we have a lot of wild bunnies here - well one thought he was at home in my garden - he used to stand in front of the standing bunny statue and sniff its nose - that dang rabbit ate all my velvety roses too - but he soon disappeared - that little fatty ended up in someone's pot for dinner (that's how they are around here - rabbits, ducks, wild turkey, or an occasional deer meet their demise in the front yards - sick people)

Are you going to send us that recipe Mama? We know who's pot "little fatty" ended up in, don't we? :rolleyes:
 
not mine - that's for sure - we don't eat rabbit

around here we have a couple neighbors that catch anything - including birds and eat them - no duck, squirrel, wild turkey, wild rabbit, bird is safe - the kid across the street had a bunny and it disppeared mysteriously out of its cage - another neighbor took it - and it has never been seen since

i swear you have to keep an eye on your kids as well - I don't trust anyone around here - strange people
 
It is terrible here to Mama. People steal dogs right and left to use for dog fighting. Drugs are terrible. I was reading in the paper a few days ago about a principal and teacher at a vocational school buying and smoking meth in the principals office. My sis lets her kids play out in their yard by themselves and that worries me to death. They live up a dirt road in the middle of no where and have had countless drug busts and meth labs on their road.
I was reading yesterday that they arrested a 25 year old waiter at a mexican restaurant here in town for rape and terroristic threatening of a 12 year old girl. He was mexican and she is white so it is getting heated. People are saying she is pregnant from the assault. His friends keep saying the age of consent in Mexico is 12 years old. They don't seem to take into consideration they are not in Mexico. Mexican and white relations can get a bit strained here at times. People take me for Mexican occasionally because I am dark skinned and have black hair and dark eyes.

The age of consent should never be 12 in any country and if they are able to use the age of consent in another country for a defense in Kentucky you need another District Attorney in town.
 
Janie - there is so much hatred in this world - everyone wants to play the role of a god or something - everyone is right - and I am so sick of it all.
I agree with JP - 12 years old is not a consentable age for anything other than picking out school clothes, books, music and what they want on their whoppers from BK.
Something needs to be done - and it is getting worse instead of better.
And I don't understand this rape thing at all - there are so many women out there sitting on bar stools waiting for some man to have sex with and prostitutes are all over. Why rape anyone - and especially a child!
His body part should be hacked off while he is wide awake.
Sorry fellas for the bluntness - but anyone who rapes a person - regardless of age - should have it whacked off - 1/4 inch at a time - with a dull serrated knife.
And if it is a child under the age of 18 - after that they should be hung in a public square and have their skin ripped off their bodies - one layer at a time - s-l-o-w-l-y for all to see. Pedophiles don't need to be registered - they need to be given the electric chair immediately - save us lots of tax dollars! And no trial - just pick a pedophile-hating judge and stand the perv in front of him - that chair would get used within 10 minutes of the crime! No last meal - no cell - nothing. And no last rites. Last rites are for the just only. No casket - bodybag and in a hole somewhere - unmarked. Better yet - a perv-designated cemetery - no one would visit anyone there anyway.
 
I agree Mama. I cannot believe the people posting on a local website here taking up for this looser. They are his friends and family plus a bunch of dumb hillbilly jerks who think it is ok to marry your sister or brother. The other half are demanding the guy be lynched.
 
I agree. Sex crimes are the lowest of the low. Maybe I watch too much Law & Order SVU... But I'm for capital punishment for 75% of murders*, and 99.9% of sex crimes. Only time I even raise an eyebrow regarding so-called "sex crimes" is in a case where maybe a few weeks or months separate a pair of kids in love who connect consensually- and due to one being under the technical legal age, the parents who may not approve of their princess' (or prince's) love-choice decides to call the cops and have the book thrown at them. I think people who use their power- physical/mental/emotional or otherwise to victimize others sexually deserve the worst of the worst of outcomes.

*Murders I would "approve" of? Oh... someone stealing the last piece of apple pie- or someone swipin' the very first sweet peas off my Spring-time vines, or the first summer 'mater outta the garden! :)
