I just finished a big bowl of spaghetti :eek:

As far as cooking/eating them, I would prepare them like squid or octopus...Ever eat raw Oysters?


k -----------~~<*))))))><}

Sorry for the visuals while eating spaghetti, mmmm, yes have eaten raw oysters but they are not one of my favourites. Too much work if I do them at home. I have eaten just about everything else from the sea though.

News from the Bucket (nftb), July 31st, 2009 ~ Vol. I ~ Extra Edition I:XIV:

As Mr Burns so eloquently put it.

I have a little time before the DW and me get rollin' today, so I'm able to shoot You an Xtra.

BB's pretty much slowed on the growth and has kicked in on ripening his fruit.
Harvested two toms last week and there are two 'bout half way with three just starting.

For next year I'm planning on 1 Determinate and at least two Indeterminate, if you recall the former ripens all at once, the latter slowly. BB's a latter.

Could have used a bunch of toms last night as I was making hamburger goulash, and only had one can of Hunt's.

Suppose ta rain pretty good today calling for 3/4” avg. I hope the worst holds off till the we're done today.

what's that eddie?.....oh yea.....tube worms

Still haven't found out what that growth is on BB's rooting, but it is getting larger.

Ah.. I think I hear the DW stirring... Time for XoXoXo's

ps... Head's up! Went to attach pixs and evil filemonster reared its head took 4x to finnaly get them in...


See Ya 'round the compost pile!

That's good to hear, there's a little bit of work involved to put it there.
No, but I have the link so I should be able to find out.
That's do-able, how'bout....waves crashing...Tug Boat, an Fog Horn?
What's that eddie?.....Yea...I'll try for a Bi-Plane dogfight too.....:rolleyes:

I know more....We went on a whale trip in the Bay of Maine.
Sighted a small pod 3 Adults 1 calf. You could almost touch the one. Hated to go back in. :(
Cutting looks, none worse for wear, an yes the worm thing is getting larger, pix tomorrow.


Thanks for the comments on new site, will be working on improvements.

k

K, all those sounds would be cool added to the site. :D OHH a whale trip would be so nice.. hmm I'm not that far from Maine :D... I would have hated to go back in too..

So roots still gowing on it then? Weird worm is getting bigger. So excited can't wait to see..

http://www.kafedelaos.com/image/tom&#37;20yum.jpg

Aww... Jeeezs... Now your makin' me hungry... I remember a small restaurant in Bar Harbor that had fish stew and fish chowder...
:rolleyes: as he was remembering.

~~~~~~~

mmmmm, shrimp and lemongrass soup ! :D tick

DW and me were out yesterday... (she's there....what'a ya doin'?....), Well... Now I'm stocked up for either one, fish stew or chowder...

Yea they would, but since I left, and now, am back. Those damn copyright laws blew all of the free stuff “out'a the water”. It's harder to find, but its out there.

You can't whale sight in N.S. :confused: com'on, there's got to be somehow... Otherwise you have to go down to Yarmouth for the Yarmouth to Bar Harbor - CAT Ferry
For you, and DH round trip, that's $360US includes port & security fees + $50US for vehicle. Fuel surcharge not included. Don't forget Passports.

There used to be several watchers in bar harbor, but they've since consolidated to this Bar Harbor Whale Watching Tours The Watcher we used is at this location. Their $15 cheaper now, but you don't get to be out as long (3.5hours, as compared to 5) that's the length of time your actually waiting in 'bout a 2 to 3 sq. mile area out in the Bay (Your 45miles out). It doesn't include travel time out an back.

I wish I had more pix, but most everything is on video. That's us in the pix... (10years ago) There's a story behind the pix... It was humorous to me at the time, still is...
As you wait to board the boat, the Co. insists they take pix of you, and people in line couldn't figure out why? You receive a small frige magnet, but don't have to take the “Deluxe Package” an added $50.

Well... The one mate overheard me, when I told people around me “Its so, they have a pictorial record of everybody, in case the boat sinks.” As far as I'm concerned, It's a true statement, but no one from the Co. would confirm or deny... You should have seen the looks I got. I can still feel where Kathy kicked me in the leg. :eek:

Maine Office of Tourism - Whale Watching Trips

After I typed my novella 'bout our experience. I searched for Whale watching Nova Scotia

So there you go...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I dug a little deeper into my chest o' marks, and found out that it shouldn't take as long as it is for roots to develop. Four days tops and here I am two weeks later. I'm just starting to see actual roots.

I still haven't been able to find out what that growth is, but Ill keep searchin'.

WOW, that's a lot of hair on your head, all over or is it just the lighting?
Nice Picture though, good thing that didn't need it for records after the boat didn't come back:rolleyes::eek:

DW is B.U.T. FULL, OK that didn't look right because it spelled 'BUT', I wanted to say she is beautiful!:p You should post that pic in the 'Pics of our members' thread. It's great you can see all the people you are talking to.

I am making Salsa Sunday *pics to follow*
I have some toms in a paper bag with a greenish banana and an apple (to be eaten later) Thanks for the tips.:)

I took my Hybrid Celebrity out of the plastic pot and put her in the ground where I used to have a ground cover rose that was pissing me off, rose is now in the compost bin, along with the tree and weeds that were growing with it.:cool:

I'm at the point in life that I believe 'less is more' and it's working for me so far, so I'm sticking with it.:D

I have one very icky tom plant right now, it is just doing nothing and turning to dust. I have one other (the one that I moved away from the others) that is producing toms and they look great except for the bottom half (Romas) are flat and brown. Half of the tom is perfect, but really small. I'm just going to cut them in half and use for salads.

OK, That's it for me!

I know “less is more” Since retirement I've been able to play catch-up 'round here... Place is starting to look real nice! Even getting unsolicited compliments from the neighbors :eek: The ones that really count though, are from the DW.

Sounds like its got the wilt... BB's still doing good, toms taste delicious! I've cut the bad parts out to... Hasn't seemed to affected me. :rolleyes:

Yea, I got to get going, I'm cookin' paintin', cleanin', buildin', surfin', fixin'

Hope you don't mind... had to cut some of your smileys to fit mine in...

[binx44]

Yes you can whale watch in nova scotia.. I've done that. But whalewatching in Maine is different in my opinion :D.. It's a different country ater all. Even if your in the ocean. Well everyone ill be away from the forum for a few days. Off to the AC/DC concert in Moncton New Brunswick tomorrow and won't be back until sometime on Friday. Afternoon to evening.. ill be checking in on the thread then to see if anything new is on :D good luck with the toms, the cutting, the worm..

By the way.. on my phone I have two pictures of a mushroom I found in the yard looks a lot like yours that you had found k... if they are still on there and I didn't accidentally delete them will post'm :D


Much love my friends

[Just Dahlia]

Have fun at AC/DC!:)

[KUXJ]

Don't :cool: get caught :cool: in the :cool: Mosh pit :cool: unless you :cool: want to!

And don't do anything I wouldn't..........EEK!

What's that eddie? Oh yea....sez, if she does that she won't have any fun!

:cool:

I always liked thinking 'bout this poem when we started a trip.
May your travels be safe.

Sea Fever
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea's face, and a gray dawn breaking.


I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.


I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick is over.

John Masefield

I'm off to Oregon for some junk shopping and fun, so my toms will be on their own for a couple days.:eek: along with my fish and birdie friends. DH will forget to feed them. He will how ever take care of the dogs, so I've got that going for me.:cool:

I got permission from NoHelp4u to go, so their won't be any repercussions.:)
Bye!

Hi! Everyone :)

News from the Bucket (nftb), August 7th, 2009 ~ Vol. I ~ Edition XV:

I thought that while I'm sitting here waiting my turn at Downloading Paragon Partition Manager 9.5 Professional for free, I'd work on this.

BB's doing okay, has a few “old” leaves/stems coming along that I just go and pinch off, but as far as pruning goes I know I won't be doing that anymore.
Observation, Reason?
BB remains healthy, but he's not expanding his growth either in size or fruit set
Fruit that is there, is okay and ripening but the production of fruit stems has ground to a halt.

No matter what, I have to get Anak BB into dirt today.
Observation, Reason?
As you can see by the pix, real roots have started to form along with the tube worm fungus, and the foliage of Anak has started to turn purple

Rainfall for the week at BBX 0.47” ~ KCXY 0.70”
Next Chance of Showers, T-storms 20% Saturday into Sunday, Saturday night 30%

Not sure if a lot or any have picked up on the most recent EL Nino' discussions, looks like our weather patterns will remain the same until the fall of 2010.

It is now 12:23pm edt

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is now 3:50pm edt

Well... I finally finished with that Paragon (DL) Download...

The reason I stopped with the NFTB, was because it took from ¼ to 9, to a ¼ after noon just to lock in to the DL server then the other 2hours an 52minutes to DL :mad:
Now I don't have a screamer, an it's not a clunker either, I can usually do 119Meg in 'bout 10”.

:( not sure if I'm ever going to go Christmas shopping with the world again. :(

:) But it gave me time to get some things done, I did get Anak repotted, and there's a special surprise guest holding the new arrival, (for any of you that saw my members page pix, this new one is at least 10years later, and yes eddie, 'bout 40lbs heavier.....)

(Maybe a contest? Guess Steve's weight?....maybe later.)

Working on setting up a tile drain for the one side of the house, that's pretty much ready to charge into, and I cleared a short planter in the front so I can plant a Hibiscus there.
End of season at the big blue box, cheap couldn't resist, hope I don't end up with poison from clearing out.

Later when the DW comes home, I'm makin' stir-fry veggies with fresh bangers, on that covered up grill in the 'biscus pix, little this... little that... oh, its so good!

See Ya 'round the compost pile!

[binx44]

JD hope you had tons 'o fun :D

I totally had a blast.. concert was sold out.. glad I got my tickets when they were first put out to sell... around 84,000 people showed up. Staying at the tribute campground was worth the 100 bucks in total for the both of us. Live DJ at the camping site.. played until 2 am the first night and noon to 6 the day of the concert

From what we've heard and found out they might be retiring so maybe no more ac/dc ever... glad I went.
First concert I've ever been to.. the crowd screaming, dancing, the bass pulsing through your body, I don't think anyone could stand still even if they were forced to. They played every old song I wanted them to... even 'whole lotta rosie" and "for those about to rock (we salute you)"

K, WOW its roots sure grew a lot from the last picture I had seen... do you have a new closeup of the tube worm thingy ? :D
UDT is looking good. Sad that its production is not increasing and its growth is not increasing... do you think the pruning was the cause of that?

Doing drainage is never fun. I learned that when we had to replace all of our outdoor drainage around the house.

OOO a Hibiscus.. pretty :D. how was the bbq?

[KUXJ]

What kinda day is it?.....Well...It's a heat advisory, ozone action kinda day :eek:

Yes, were you able to find what you were looking for?

Very descriptive... Do know 'bout “sound pulses” aka “shock fronts”. But, are you sure you had a good time? :rolleyes:

Sure did... naw... thingy disappeared as soon as I pulled it from the water.

Yes it is :( ….purrty sure...

With today's heat DW laid the law down...
No outside activities, she doesn't want to see me lying in the lawn with the tractor runnin' circles 'round me.

Neighbor reen gave us two “snow on the mountain's” and I got them in just before the storm front yesterday (63mph) they look a little droopy yet, but the 'biscus isn't doing too bad.

Bbq was great! Saved you some, but you guys never showed... so I finished it. :)

K

[binx44]

K, I did have a blast hehe I know I did... tis a sin that the worm disappeared.. you said before it was getting bigger... oo never heard of "snow on the mountain" will have to look it up...

That's no good that the pruning is what stunted it :( I don't blame your DW for laying down the law. That's some hot... it's nice today.. raining though but about 21 c. was high 20's to low 30's in moncton during the concert though.. no sunburn :D I did good.
Well I'm off to give the dog a shower (yes I said shower not bath.. he hates baths but loves showers... hmm what an odd dog... )
