Warm Weekend

It’s Monday. We had a rare late October warmup over the weekend that was a nice surprise. The girlfriend and I took a trip down to her parent’s place in central Illinois on Saturday. Her brother and sisters were in town so it was a good excuse to get together for the day. It was nice seeing everyone again and the food was tasty.

After we got back from her parent’s place, we decided to take a cruise around and check out some more Halloween decorations. People around here really get into decorating so there’s always plenty of cool and creative displays. We found this really tall ghoulish figure (pictured above) not far from our place. We’re also seeing lots of giant spiders and 12-foot skeletons. Anything super-big definitely seems to be in this year. With Halloween now only a week away, I’m hoping to get out at least one more time to see what else we can discover.

Late Season Auto Goodness

It’s Friday! It is time to wrap the week up and what better way to do so than with some automotive goodness! This collection was sent in by Rob, a reader who attended the the Three Cocks Rally in Hay-On-Wye, Wales.  I was surprised to see several American cars right alongside steam engines! Definitely a diverse grouping of vehicles. Go ahead and check out the gallery below and thank you, Rob, for taking the time to send them in!

Enjoy all the auto goodness along with the usual Friday double babes & double jokes!

Keep, I’ve been meaning to send these, the last show of the season I attend. The Three Cocks rally near Hay-on Wye. Again some interesting cars there and the stream engines are great and come with that distinctive coal burning smell. -Rob

Seeds of Goodness!

It’s Thursday. The girlfriend brought home a pumpkin the other day. It sat around for a few days but last night I decided it was time to gut Jack for his seeds. For as far back as I can remember, I’ve been roasting up my own pumpkin seeds every Halloween season. And last night I got all the seeds covered in salt (I prefer them really salty), and toasted up a batch. As always, they turned out perfectly tasty! Wanna know how I did it? Well, it’s extremely complicated but I’ll explain below.

  1. Remove the seeds from the pumpkin and rinse.
  2. Put them in a bowl of salty water and allow them to soak overnight.
  3. Spread them out on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt while they’re wet.
  4. Bake at 300 degrees until crispy and slightly brown.
  5. Share with no one and enjoy!
