On this day in 1941, joltin' Joe DiMaggio began a 56-game hitting streak. The Yanks could sure use him now.

Man, anything with hooves is fair game for a Texan.
From my time in Louisiana, the rule there was eat anything; hooves, claws, no feet, webbed feet, fins, feathers, scales, shells, etc. ! Was very good, though several times I was careful not to ask what!
Only thing I did not try was raw oysters! As my Dad said one could wear out your throat trying raw oysters what with them going up and down!

I decided I needed another 1911 so I bought a Kimber Classic Carry Pro yesterday. I love the blue charcoal finish.

Awww, but certainly not the little baby bison in the back of the family SUV?

During the summer I find myself making two or three batches of ice tea per day because my biggest pitcher only holds two quarts.
I got a deal on a gallon Rubbermaid pitcher today. It seems a bit flimsy for a gallon of tea, I'm making a test run with a three quart batch. For $3.49 I cannot complain, but I wish it had walls as thick and sturdy as my 25 year old two quart Rubbermaid.
One pitcher has Lipton tea in it the other has Luzianne. That's why the tea is slightly different colored.

The bison equivalent of veal?

I can put it on foam trays and wrap it in shrink wrap to make it look better in an SUV. I'll even put the packages in a reusable grocery bag. No... How about a Yeti cooler!

Big K, I used to make my tea in the sun. I had a gallon glass jar(pickles from Sam's)& would use a family size teabag. For variation, I would sometimes add two or three cinnamon sticks to it. That was tasty! I try & cut out as much caffeine as possible, because of my weird sleep habits, but I sure miss that cinnamon sun tea. I tried the caffeine free teabags, but it just didn't taste right.
And the pics? Where are the pics? You know the rules! C'mon man...

In New York, I can't pick it up without a "coupon" from the judge who signed my permit. He must approve the amendment to my permit before I can pick it up - usually takes a week or so.
Cool windy day here today.
At least it's not raining.
Supposed to start warming up a bit tomorrow.

Bison, it's what's for supper.
I've never been much of a tea drinker. I did try some green tea for a little while.
It had an Indian on the label so I figured it must be good.
Ended up giving me a runny bottom.

The 1911 obsession may have gone too far when you start buying pistols to color coordinate with your wardrobe. I'm not saying you did that. Just keep it in mind.

In fact, I do that with pistols AND holsters!
Me like bison. I couldn't help but think of how tender that calf meat must be.I was waiting for you to chime in on bison.
My holster matches my belt and my boots.
Kinda bugs me that my flashlight holder doesn't exactly match my belt.

I'll keep doing the Homer Bast/USS Yolo posts as long as they are in Okinawa. So, they have been off the invasion beaches of Okinawa for 45 days now:
May 15, 1945
The OOD called at 0245 saying that a LCT had dragged anchor and was entangled in Yolo's stern anchor. Running to the stern I told the skipper how to free himself. His ship handling and execution were so poor that it was some time before he broke loose. Meanwhile, with the wind blowing hard and the rain coming down in sheets, Bracken, the OOD, thought Yolo was dragging. Bearings confirmed we were not. But anchored close to the reef Mr. Bracken felt uneasy when the ship approached the limit of the scope of her chain. By then it was dawn and breakfast was served.
During the day I became aware that vessels coming alongside had difficulty because Yolo was anchored close to the reef. Indeed, one vessel hung up and remained there all day. To make the approach easier we moved and anchored in a spot more accessible. Immediately, four ships tied up. This evening a number of warning messages about an imminent air attack were received. The night is cloudless, clear and cold. A strong wind blows in from the northwest. Much to the dismay of the crew no movie was scheduled. The duty section turned to on the tank deck to make more space available for movies.

They sure need something. My sister, a mad Yankees fan, has a theory that Girardi is phoning it in. My guess (and I don't follow them) is that he's tired of dealing with the owners. He wouldn't be the first.
Whatever, there is no joy in Mudville.
I think Special Patrol Group's a stupid name for a hamster.
I've got the Hotline number if anyone needs it.
I didn't label this.

It's a funny name for a lobster.
