Good morning Tom, I hope Santa was good to you!

Thanks, Santa has toned it down a few notches the last few years and I keep buying the stuff on my wish list before he can get it for me, plus there's the whole naughty/nice thing but I scored some new Beats Studio Buds + so I don't have any excuse to not listen to John Denver any longer and a couple of 4k movies.

I hope Santa treated you well also, maybe new wiper blades for the Yugo?
 
I feel you, for four and a half years I commuted to Cleveland. Where I work in Sharon saves me an hour commute a day. Much better for me but my wife hates that I’m home more.😉 Hey how about our weather, high of 51 degrees, currently raining but changing to snow with a winter weather advisory before changing back to rain, awesome!
I work in Butler. It's 30 degrees and raining here.
 
good morning! that sounds fun kevin! we like our kia sportage. im not usually a kia fan but the newer models are nice. but i will say we need more room in the back so im thinking chevy tahoe next maybe? 🤷‍♀️
 
I wanted to share this amazing dip recipe with you guys that one of our family members made for our Christmas get together. She had crackers for it to go on but I also tried it on little ham sliders sandwiches and it was so good! You can also use frozen cranberries if you want to.

Cranberry Jalapeño Cream Cheese Dip

Ingredients
• 6 oz fresh cranberries
• 1 small jalapeno pepper seeded, with membranes removed
• 1 green onion (scallion) white and part of green top, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 8 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature

Instructions
• Rinse cranberries, discard any mushy ones, and pat dry
• Add cranberries to a blender or food processor, and pulse into smaller pieces
• Add jalapeno, onion, sugar, lime juice and salt, and pulse until finely chopped, scraping the sided with a spoon, as needed
• Add cream cheese to a large bowl, and whip with electric mixer until smooth and creamy
• Spoon relish mixture into cream cheese, and mix until well blended
• Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours or until ready to serve. Flavor is better the longer it sits. Taste to see if more sugar is needed before serving

Sounds awesome, glad to hear! Do you have a shanty? Last time I iced fished was in Grand Rapids and my uncle’s friend allowed me to use his. With a kerosene lantern I was comfortable in jeans and a T shirt. I never ice fished in the open again.
No shanty sir. I haven't ice fished in quite some time, but was looking at getting new rods. My step son must have heard me talking about it at one point.
 
The one in the middle does have a resemblance to Chris and the other two look like their twins .
Are you and Tim brothers ??
, 🤣
We sure are!!!!

Merry Christmas Rock. Im very thankful that you had a great famy holiday. Sorry about your brother, boys will be boys.
That's the truth! I asked what happened, he told me he was seeing how far he could go with the lights off! I asked him "how did that work out for ya"... he flipped me off. I love him, he and I grew up together and have remained quite close.
 
Good morning John, someone woke up beautiful and hangry! ( angry +hungry)
