Lumpy Christmas stocking

Update

It's been the dog and I in "Buyback Acres" since March; divorce order entered in April.
Lots of use on the microwave and some use of the stove burners and toaster oven. Mastered the fine art of making hot dogs explode. Made 12 grilled-cheese-and-ham sandwiches in a row in the skillet without burning one; this may turn out to be the greatest feat of the year.

There'll be an auctioneer in my future, I'm sure. The 30 x 60' shop building is full of vintage American-made woodworking and metalworking equipment, very little of which I have used or finished renovating since I lost depth perception when my left eye bit the dust. I will probably auction off most of the guns as well.
Sure is peaceful now. Just a different kind of lonesome from before. There's probably a country song there about how being alone by yourself sure beats hell out of being alone with someone who sure dislikes you in the house.
 
Make sure your car is in good working order. I almost starved to death when the driver's side window wouldn't roll down for a week. The drive thru people thought I WAS dead. That was many years ago. Not too many fast food meals these days.
 
After my first wife passed in 2011 I found that George Foreman grill and boneless pork chops made a good combo. I also made a lot of turkey, cheese, and shredded lettuce on wheat sandwiches. These were joined by raw baby carrots and a limited number of chips. The microwave oven is also a savior.
 
If you can drive at night that makes you quite the eligible bachelor in the senior citizen world. The dames will be all over you.
