What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Oh see, that is where you have it wrong. It isn't that they come out with the right answer at all - that is too judgemental. Give them an A for showing up and extra credit for using the favored method. The "correct" answer is not the goal at all

 

No Chit !!!!!!!!............................

 

Caffeine and breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast in. Time to get out working on the trails again. It’s going to be chilly out there at 8.

 

If your day is similar to ours was yesterday, it'll be nice this afternoon! Just have an extra cup this morning.

 

We went to a local school's Christmas program last evening. Singing, band playing, the normal Christmas program stuff.

She must have seen me "re-positioning" on the bleacher seats and after close to an hour of sitting on those boards, she announced we can leave now. Knees, hips, the ever present low back, and neck said it was time to go about 1/2 hour ago. (If I could stand up and move a bit, I could have made it longer, but......)

It was nice listening to the young ones singing out their songs! Great time of year for them.

Good job, kids! If you've got the chance, make the effort to attend one!

 

I wouldn't be able to count either if that's the way they taught me math back in the day!

 

One hour and fifteen minutes done in the woods. Making progress. Time for a break. I’m back at the house with the wheeler pulled in the heated garage and I’m having my second dose of caffeine in the form of a can of Code Red Mountain Dew. Time to sit for 15 minutes. Life is good.

 

went through the same thing with my 2 sons. After showing them what I was taught they would do a problem that way and then reverse solve the new way. For whatever reason that put both of them way ahead of there classmates.

 

Biggest problem with math right now in my opinion, is they went away from the Rout system. Where you just memorized the basics times tables Etc. Without that base, math becomes intrinsically more difficult.

 

Haven't been here for awhile as life is busy right now. Two days of work left as I have one day off for appts. Friday morning is pancake breakfast at the school for staff, students and parents. Looking forward to it.

 

I see it's a dairy queen moving in with the new gas station......I was figuring for sure they'd be putting access in from both roads, but there's a lot room for something else on that corner if they cover over that brook.

That oil shop is coming along too.... that's gonna make a noisy neighbor of itself.

 

I had the kitchen to myself this morning so I made a batch of krumkake. Only took 2 hours from start to finish and I was making two at a time. I had to use the correct apron (PPE) for this job

 

Those look great. I really like the wood cones.

I happened upon my grandmother's cooker a few weeks ago. She made mostly pizzelle's but had the recipe for krumkakes, cannolis, lace tarts, etc inside it. The cooker must be from the 1950's.

 

Had a meeting on a project in a local Indian Reservation. Always feel drained working there. True squalor. Sad.

But when I was leaving the area saw this beautiful sunset.

 

That is a great picture schlot . I need a vacation to get away from the flat land.

 

Those wood cones were turned from cherry burl. Nice to have talented friends. Here is a better pic of them.

 

Throat feels like I swallowed a bag of broken glass. Putting some honey lemon bourbon mix on it and heading for bed.

1 day of work left for the year.

 

Thanks, glad you liked it. The hills along the Missouri River make for some great scenery.
