Displaced Texan

It’s purely a theoretical exercise for me, as I don’t have the scratch for a supercar of any flavor, much less a use for one. It would be difficult to drive something like that out at the ranch...a pickup suits my needs best. Besides, it’s not ALL about performance. Everyone knows what a Corvette looks like. Ferarri is also pretty well recognized, even the more obscure models are still easy for most to ascertain by most people. Aston Martins are much less familiar, and although Jaguar has somewhat copied the AM body style, it’s still not immediately recognizable by most. The AM is pure sex on wheels, and leaves you cranking your neck around thinking’ ‘DAMN, what WAS that??!!!’. The AM may not be the best dancer, but from my eyes, she’s the hottest girl at the dance!

I’m looking forward to that being released!

If it were me, I would do as suggested above, and try to get equal time for the ‘pro gun’ topics. If they do not allow it, I would cut ALL ties to that church (out of principle), and let them know why. Realize it’s a HUGE inconvenience, but sometimes you have to take a stand on your beliefs.

They are deceptively large, but fast! Gorgeous cars!

Yeah that bread mold can be a hallucigenic.....make it so you read Pork Roll as Taylor Ham.

Mrs Tex would be PISSED if I delved into the ‘slush fund’ and came home with that....

Delusions of Taylor ham.....even the backward assed Texan can read the package!!

That thing isn’t about speed, it’s about STYLE!!!!

Holy crap, are we STILL having the debate between Taylor Pork Roll and Taylor Ham? What does the damn package say??

Yeah brother!!!

It’s the BATMOBILE!!! Who wouldn’t love that???!!!!

1963 Split Window ‘vette for me. While I find the ‘19 Vette attractive, and it’s performance impressive, for the $$$, give me an Aston Martin, or a Ferarri. Not a GM product.

If I had that much $$ to spend on a car, it would be an Aston Martin or a Ferarri. Not a Chevy.

Hurt my dog, and may God have mercy upon you, because I won’t.

They make some amazing smoked sausage. Damn, I may have to order some too.

...and have enough lube.

I use voice to text a lot too. Otherwise, 2 thumbs.

Sweetwater. About an hour west of Abilene. Still own a ranch there. We always called them atomic armadillo turds. Lol

I keep a couple on hand and replace every year before I turn on the heat.

Kolaches are done, and damn, are they tasty!

Igniters are cheap and should be replaced every other year or so. I replace mine annually.

May be the pressure switch. What’s the blink code on the control board?

Howdy y’all! I’m making kolaches for a friend of mine as Christmas gifts. I exposed my NJ neighbor to Kolaches a couple of years back, when I took him out to the ranch for a hunting trip. He’s been raving about them ever since. They are usually sold in mom and pop donut shops throughout Texas. I thought I’d share the process of making these little jewels. For you Yankees, a kolache is a pretty popular savory snack back home in Texas, derived from Polish immigrants who settled in east/central Texas. It’s a semi sweet dough, wrapped around some type of smoked sausage. I believe y’all call them ‘pigs in a blanket’ (according to my Yankee wife). I started out by making a batch of my great grandmothers bread dough. 2 packages of yeast. 2 cups of water 2t salt 8-9 cups of flour, depending on humidity. 1 1/3 cups of sugar. Mix yeast in a little warm water with one tsp of sugar to activate. Mix all ingredients. Coat the bread dough in a little vegetable oil, and put in a warm place. Let the bread dough rise until it doubles in size..about 2 hours. Punch it down, and allow to rise again. Do this twice. Take golf ball sizes of dough, and wrap them in small smoked sausages (ie: Little Smokies). Allow to rise again. Bake at 325 for 20-25 mins. Brush with melted butter. You can also use larger smoked sausage links. I like jalapeño cheddar links. Mmmmmm! Tasty! Here’s the bread dough after the second rise. Second pic is kolaches, on the 3rd rise. Third pic is the jalapeño cheddar kolaches. I’ll update once they are baked. My mouth is watering!!!!

Uhhhhhhh, sure. Whatever makes you sleep at night! And I resent being called a ‘hillbilly’. No bbq for you.

With a steady stream of urine, you CAN get shocked. If it breaks into droplets, then probably not.
