What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good morning family!
I will be in and out today. I'm going to a BBQ at my friend's house around noon and then hopefully will have time this evening to work on the stand.
I hope you all have a great Saturday!
Good morning Rock! Same I have a wedding at 2:00 and the venue is at the same place as my daughter’s. The Mrs and I got a room for the night. My daughter and son in law are in the wedding. The Bride is the daughter of our friends who had us all down to the house in Nashville. I had to drop off the kolache yesterday for the cookie table. Pictures to follow.
 
Good morning everyone

Good morning Luis! You already bought Jason his first car? He is going to be a chick magnet driving that around!
 
Never tried poached eggs but I like bacon lol
I agree Amanda, I opposed to harvesting eggs out of season and without a hunting license plus it’s against the law. 😉
 
Kev it's the mastery and magic of it all.
You're actually a great cook I cook all day long things I won't ever eat, even at home.
I love making things for other people.
You'd probably surprise yourself with how good your desserts turn out.
I couldn't have said this better Joel. My wife makes bread for the family and she says the same thing. You take 3 or 4 of the simplest ingredients on Earth, add a little live, and look what you get.

Hope you do too Keith. Have fun today man.
 
Thank you it is just feeling tired today which is normal for me after a bad migraine.
Glad to hear that the pain is gone, have a good day!
 
ODG ( that’s out digging gold for you older reefers) the colors, beautiful! Good morning John!
Morning Kevin! Youve already got me laughing this morning. That's fantastic!
