How they make smoked oink balls! They look delicious!

I don't have a smoker and much patience.

I made some in my toaster oven with a half pack of leftover bacon in my fridge and some little Kroger meatballs. 350 for about 45 minutes. No added spices.

Really tasty, they'd be better on my little electric Weber grill. It's a new dinner idea for Kimmy.

LynneP and her alter-ego LynneK keep me from getting too lonely when Kimmy's working.

They violate my ''No black eyes and hair' rule, but so does Rita Panahi (Iranian, Sky News Australia) and Emily Compagno (Italian, Fox News) Oh, well.

LynneP's twin sister, LynneK...

Total AI, but a hottie.

Magnavox Odyssey video game system, pre 1976.

My dad was a hotshot with Magnavox [now Raytheon] in electronic warfare, EW1, at the former plant a half mile from my house. a primary target during the Cold War.

I was introduced to the video game during a fancy father/son affair with different celebrities. Chris Shenkel, sportscaster, was one.

Retail was $200 as I recall. Dad got it through employee sales for half price, which was still expensive as hell back then.

Dad hated guns after his time in the Philippines during WWII, but I still managed to get the optional pump shotgun accessory, it was probably another another ten bux, his cost.

I cant imagine the whining I had to do to get my first BB gun, a Marksman spring/air pistol that looked liked a M1911 pistol.

I love firearms, but I can't handle much over 9mm with my arthritis now. I'm still good, it's built-in.

I'm not big on fancy affairs, there was one with Punk where Bobby Knight (former IU coach) was the speaker, one where Company folks got awards for years of service (I think it was Pam's 20th) and another one I cant remember much about.

I haven't worn a suit or a tie since then. I've got an Amazon order started for a new pair of Wrangler carpenter jeans and a new pair of black shoes started. My jeans are pretty thin and the crotch is blown out.

My Dr. Scholl's shoes are about done too. I never liked those, they hurt my feet.

I had all of you, some of you, and now none of you...
