I didn't even think to look and see if they had a website!
I didnt realize they had an ebay site lol. The website is hilarious with the whole "coral nightclub " vibe

I will have to hide my bank card and credit cards from myself and take a better look at it after work....
 
Good afternoon everyone! Lunch today is a seared scallops salad with apple and shallot slaw and a Dijon dressing.

We had a vendor come out for a sales pitch so I had me a Vito from Jimmy John's with a bag of Salt and Vinegar potato chips, a Dr Pepper, and a Zebra Cake for dessert.
 
1 Potato Wedges
2 Chessy bacon Potato barrels
3 on left boneless BBQ chicken wings
3 on boneless right honey chicken wings
That looks SO good!!
We had a potluck today for a RN that is retiring. Someone made banana pudding, it was the best 'nana pudding I have ever had! My grandmother is rolling over in her grave hearing me say that.. but... it was!
Oh... there was a tray of Chick-fil-A sandwiches, someone brought spicy meatballs, some salad stuff (I passed on that), plenty of desserts, chips with homemade quac dip and salsa... I'm forgetting some items for sure.
 
Ill sure pray for your sister brother. And you too
My sister has bone cancer where they took the biopsy, doctor says it can be taken care of, they start radiation tomorrow . She says she is tired of dealing with it, but I reminded her, her grand kids and great grand son don't want her quit. The doctor at John B. Amos Cancer center in Columbus told me and my Niece that this is the same cancer that was in her lung. He said its slow and can be treated. I said I hope so

I'm sorry to hear that but the positive is it's slow and can be managed so she can be there for the kids.
 
Unless he was referring to where the white China was made. Ummm probably China.
Hey Paul! Are you soaking up some sun for those in the north who haven't seen much of it since... oh... October?

That.... looks.... SOOOOO.... good!!
 
Heck yeah!!! Where will you be hunting? Arizona?
Yeah. I don't ever put in out of state. We were discussing where we were going to go this winter if we didn't get drawn. Texas was high on the list. OTC deer and hog at a buddy's buddy's ranch was going to cost us around $500 not including gas and food but it came with up to 7 deer and as many hogs as we could harvest plus the potential for 3 or 4 turkeys I think.

Down here in AZ we have a strict 1 deer, 1 elk, and 1 turkey per year limit - if we can get drawn.

Vito and Turkey Tom are my go-to at Jimmy Johns

When I lived in Texas, I would fill my doe tags. We would shoot the hogs just to shoot them, they are so destructive and overpopulated. They have Axis deer there and since they are an exotic, there is no season for them. You can hunt them year round. They taste better than a white tail. The Axis were once on a ranch, but obviously escaped and have now, many years, later formed a very large population there.
