Quoted message said:I had an interesting, tiring day yesterday. I dug out the power
scrubber to clean both patios, the sidewalks and the gutters. It's been
a couple of years since I used the darned thing. Right off I lost
control of it and broke out a garage window. It went downhill from
there. Towards the end I finally got the hang of it and remembered how
to use it.
You are not to be trusted with things mechanical! :-)
Quoted message said:I was really tired last evening and wanted a simple meal. I threw
together a salad (from pre-bagged) and made pigs in a blanket. I wrapped
hot dogs in refrigerated crescent rolls and threw 'em in the oven. I
think I had the oven at 325 or 350 and they cooked for maybe 25 minutes
or so, just until browned. Meanwhile I sliced some potatoes and deep
fried them, making french fries. Looking in the fridge I discovered I
was out of mustard. Mustard is essential for hot dogs IMO. Too tired to
go to the store so I made my own mustard from powdered mustard. All in
all, it was pretty good and took very little time. Very little mess to
clean up too!
Haven't made pigs in a blanket in years. I like them with sausages. Yes,
mustard is essential.

good) topped with fresh strawberries. Midnight snack was air popped
popcorn with parmesan cheese.Michael <- decided NOT to wash the Jeep with the power scrubber
Wise man!
