The community is invited to come on down to the Diner & General Store. Take a chair on the porch and sit a spell. Visit with your neighbors and see what's going on in town.
I hope every one is able to get some fresh vegtables. I grow a large garden so I have plenty but for those that can't grow them they should be reasonably priced this time of year. Soooo good.
Soil is so sandy here and the pests so prolific it is difficult to have a good garden but I have been buying from the local farmers and putting up. This time of year I could live on just fruits and veggies!!
Hey Guys and Gals, here is how I learned to fix fish or Gator. Cut about a pound of fish or gator into small strips, mix with Bold and Spicy Mustard. Take a paper bag put 1 cup of Flour and 1/2 cup of corn meal and Cajon spices to your own taste into the bag. Shake well and put the meat into the bag and shake again. deep fry until golden brown. ENJOY
Well my friend that is a pretty lively 61. Our grands range from 14 down to just 9 months. Your blessed to have them close, ours are all in ATL. As a Gators fan I am probably a cannibel for saying this but I love fried Gator tail. But there is no accounting for my taste either I like snails also
Nothing wrong with starting late. Enjoy them while they are growing up, when you look back it seems like it was just a few days that you were able to share with them.

Frank,
Need to keep the duck for inspiration.
After you master it, you'll be able to see how far you've come, then if you want, you can make some toothpicks.

I can relate with the diabetic problems Arthur.
Bass is a good wood to carve. Not too hard and nice grain.
Check out the book; Whittling and Woodcarving. Only book that I've found that includes anything on pits.
ps. it's a Freightliner...(loaded with beer.)
