Yeah. They frown on that in many such places. :facepalm:  Not my fault if they didn't have a sign. :whistle:

Cool!

Day 20:

A chilly day today. Mrs Nix was quick to agree to a pot of chili.  :ahhh

Ranger got pressed into service mincing, dicing, and "chopping". For the big chunk of beef, I used successive cuts to make 'slabs' and then strips, which got turned into a large "dice".

Ranger was brilliant at trimming, peeling, and "chopping" the onions:

Yum that looks great :drool:
Double YUM!

It looks great and ingredients got the tastebuds in an uproar.   
Sweetness is not a tilt I would have guess Nix would have finished with, surprise. 

It is yet to warm here for Chili, maybe next week.
I am waiting for a cool morning to whip up biscuits and sausage gravy, for a rib stick in’ breakfast.
Trying to cut recipes to one or two servings has been difficult, yet I do have room for a few quarts of chili in freezer… :whistle:
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

It is, isn’t it!

Day 21 of  30
Confession time

This morning, torturing my fritter this morning, break off a piece, and at end of my fork hold it below the surface of the coffee until air bubbles cease appearing🙄

I did give in to temptation😔. I did very well early, the notice of a BOTM hit my phone at the barber shop, afterwards stopped at the grocery to pickup essentials, suffered register shock.  Went home, put items away, then drove across town for grandsons soccer game.  At break between periods I checked my phone and sneaked a peak, “a Ranger, black!”
 
Everything is a blur, I know we loss the game by 1 goal, had dinner with daughter, her husband and grandson, then drove home.  Settled in and watched half of a movie and went to bed. 

Woke this morning, checked the weather, scanned email titles, annnnd, “Thank you for your order” message from Buck!!!!

Almost the true😜.   I gave in ordered late last night, someone reported number left is displayed when you add an item to your cart.  I did, it did not display, I went further, went to checkout, then shipping option, then payment, and I do not recall the rest.  It is tooo easy!!!

Second Ranger this year as BOTM, I had trapped the first one, drawn in by the S35VN steel, carbon fiber scales and USA made sheath.    [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

Last night, I argued with myself and lost!   I think the point it is less expensive than a Jack Wolf release, most GEC releases and easier to obtain, were key points.  Plus I just like my Rangers.

It is done! I am weak😔

Hello, Rangers, my name is LC and I am a Ranger-holic…

Congrats LC.  It is better to ask yourself for forgiveness than to ask yourself for permission.  I just hope it gets here before the end of the challenge so we'll get some pictures of it here. :cheers:

Dang it all LC. After telling you it was better to ask yourself for forgiveness than to ask yourself for permission I had a long look into my own heart, and my wallet, and broke down and ordered a Bradford Guardian 3.5 sheepsfoot and micarta for next month's fixed blade challenge.

Well, I will forgive you, then again you did not need my permission.  Yours should arrive in time for October’s Challenge.

But, must ask, did you keep the dog house from July or did it burn down since then?
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

You'd better hold off on any more LC, or you're going to get blisters on your fingers from pulling your wallet.

I've  got a boneless pork shoulder in the smoker and the 112s helped me sort through the wood pile. :D  It's just started raining though and I hope the rain doesn't make the smoker too cold. :twak:
