    I paid my handyman to pick up a free fish aquarium and bring it to me. The gal was moving, she offered an old motorcycle to him, he was thrilled!

    Busy day today. Went for our walk early as we had curling to watch. Between the three games, I managed to bake 2 loaves of maple raisin bread, 2 loaves of hot cross bread and 8 cheese buns. I just love my breadmaker for making the dough. I take it out and put it in pans to bake in the oven. I don't like the hole in the bottom of the loaves.

    After the final game, I went out and planted some perennials that have been sitting in pots for a month. Finally got to the computer to get some bookkeeping done. Starting to think about bedtime.

    I took everyone at the house out for dinner at the olive garden tonight after we took a tour on the airboat today.

    We have one day left at the house here in Florida. We all leave on Tuesday am.

    Tomorrow we will all hang out in and around the pool. And just relax...

    Caffeine time. Maybe make them pancakes this morning. Today I will work with the 210C to collect up a bunch of firewood I have blocked up in different areas, bring it to piles at processing area. And then I will move some more dirt.

    BREAD ENVY!

    I bought my wife a "Fancy" bread maker for Xmas 4 years ago. It sits in the attic, still in it's unopened box. :(

    So was that one of those "I would love having fresh bread continuously so if I get her a breadmaker I will be all set" gifts, or one she actually wanted? :whistle::zip:

    The instructions are easy to follow so maybe you should give a try. After a few loaves come out of it, it may become a permanent fixture on the kitchen counter. I use mine a lot as my hands can't knead bread dough anymore.

    Poor WWW, as a kid his great grandparents from Italy had a huge block in the basement/cellar. They would send him down there to cut some off for every dinner, now he has Kraft.

    Another good day here. I moved a little firewood. But things have dried out enough that I was able to move a good bit of dirt today. I spent about 6-1/2 hours on the 210C. Good, tiring, fun work. There are a LOT of rocks in this fill. The large ones have to be separated using the machine. But still a lot of smaller ones. And when you back drag those rocks always give your bucket a hard time to make things level/smooth. So throughout the process I am getting off and on the loader and moving rocks off to the side and into low spots/ditches by hand. Tiring stuff after 6-1/2 hours. But a good workout. I also loaded some firewood and got a little of that moved. Today I was working on raising the road that goes back to our camp. Using the fill, I am slowly building it up. It will be a long, slow process. But worth it. Luckily, I got a really good price on the fill. The crushed stone won't be cheap though.:eek: That will have to be done a little at a time. That is for sure!:faint:

    Threw a rack of baby backs of the grill and was debating about sides - don't feel like beans, no mac & cheese in the cupboard.

    Maybe I should try Bacon wrapped butter sprinkled with Parmesan?

    You don't need no stinking sides. One cold beer with the ribs will do.:like:

    Then ONE may be enuff for a couple of minutes.
    Tho, if ur using a hand pump, then that is two fisted.
    CO2 tank, then u can do 2 (or more) at a time.

    Let's be fair here. He could have meant one gallon. He didn't specify size.
