Pappy,

What about a dashcam so we can tour the neighborhood.

I'm curious about how insurance works with a golf cart, does it go on your automobile policy, a separate liability policy, etc...

Dash cam is a good idea. No insurance. We only can drive it in our community. It’s not street legal as it’s not fast enough to be on streets.

This morning baking "sand tarts". Assume everyone in the group knows what they are, right! The key is long slow low baking.
Makes all the difference in the world.

If they are coated with confectioners sugar we called them Russian Tea Cakes or Mexican Wedding Cookies.

If they are left plain similar to shortbread we called them Sand Tarts. or Sandies.

Here's what they look like. They are made with ground pecan meal and that and the way you bake them makes all the difference in the world from them tasting like the store bought imitations. The mass produced ones taste like flour with a little bit of nut pieces in them...know why? They're flour with a little bit of nut pieces in them!

The homemade ones made the right way with pecan meal literally melt in your mouth!

All these cookies... Mmmmmm

Here we are, Tuesday, One more week, and it will be Christmas Eve...

Last Breakfast day with the Boys for this year...

Worked on the wall where I ripped out the kitchen wall, finishing up the hole...

Carl got his next treatment for the mange last night, he's doing a lot better, hopefully, this makes him feel even better...

Well, Kids, I hope YOU all have a wonderful Tuesday... God Bless YOU all...
 
Last of 2 big fire dept meetings...baked cookies for the group. Hub did a bang up job on engineering the new fire dept building.
Today he has to give them the news its over budget...lol. That's life, though. This area is always growing and its hard to keep up with the fire needs as so many places don't have hydrants so "pumpers" are mandatory equipment needs, as well as new personnel to man the areas. Have a great day, guys!
 
Ive been out and about since early this morning: went to the next big town for the market place and before that to a local vinyl cd store who deal in second hand pre-loved vinyls cd's and cassette tapes. Sold three old LP's and got a good deal for them. I plan to part with many old vinyls and cd's as my music cabinets are heaving.

Music is my big love and always has been and one of the reasons I joined SF as it has a good selection of stuff I enjoy and love and sharing it together gives me pleasure.

Well.. Christmas is just round the corner, isnt it? Bought last minute bits and bobs.
Does anyone one on here do online E-cards? I do and like them to send and receive. Lots of companies do them and it can be money saving as opposed to buying postage stamps.

Golf carts were covered for named perils under the home-owners policy. Your homeowners policy affords some liability coverage in case you run over somebody....check with your agent. That's how it was when I was in the business.
 
Ive been out most of today: went to see a lady who is housebound and always look forward to seeing her as she does me. Then went from there to a Christmas Soup Lunch at a local church with three friends. Then visited a friend for a couple of hours and this evening attended a meeting.
Ive been wrapping presents up and laid them under my tree which is twinkling in overdrive and looks lovely
 
Not a lot to report, the rain is starting to dry up and I can see the sun peeking through for the first time in days.

2 parcel deliveries today and another expected within the hour .

Hubs has gone into town to run a few errands...and he's gonna collect the grocery shopping for me while he's there and collect some stuff I ordered from the clothing store for him .. *does a little dance*

Just marking time until next week and Im looking forward to it more this year
 
Well added to my earlier post ^^^^ hubs fixed our livingroom door that kept springing open even after it was closed ''properly'', by removing the lock part, and setting it further back into the door frame *voila* a door that's been annoying me for months, nay.. actually years ... fixed in a few minutes. The my Doctor called and asked if I could come in an hour and a half earlier than my appt this evening , as he had to leave surgery early.. so I was able to do that, and hubs came with me...

Close to my GP surgery is our local Castle ''Keep''... ( gatehouse of the original castle which is no longer there') which is now used for local govt offices , so I took a photo of it on my phone in the dark for you all to see before I went into see the doc..

As I suspected he might, doc wants me to go to hospital tomorrow for some Outpatient tests, which I'll do ... ..

...then from there hubs and I went to the pub for a quick drink... and at 6pm on the week running up to Christmas I can't say I was totally surprised to see it packed to the gunwales already long before the evening had properly got under way .

I suspect lots of people having a drink with their work buddies before finishing up for Christmas hols... we got chatting with some people we haven't seen for quite a while which was nice, then came home.. and the rain hasn't let up once all day ... 🌧🌧☔
 
Hollydolly, hope everything was OK at the doc's and hospital. Bad enough at any time, let alone the Christmas period. Reminds me of the time - must be 30 odd years ago when I broke my right collar bone at judo, just before Xmas. Couldn't even carve the turkey - but I managed to eat it OK!

Feel rotten today. Got a stinking 'head cold' - but there's not a lot you can do about colds.
I once asked my niece who is a GP and she just said that if she had a cure for the cold, she wouldn't be here chatting to me.

Anyway, as they say, "feed a cold, starve a fever", so I'm making Rogan Josh for dinner. I'm using diced mutton which I've got marinating in lemon juice, garlic, ginger and yoghurt.

Weather is sunny, clear skies, a nice breeze - but a tad chilly. Good day to dry the washing which is out on the clothes line.
 
Cool, windy and rainy in Florida yesterday. Today doesn’t look much better either. Played bingo at the clubhouse, oh the excitement :rolleyes:, last night. No winner at our table again. Got home in time to watch millionaire lottery show on HGTV. A not to exciting day to sum it up.
 
@Capt Lightning , thank you so much for thinking of me, you're so kind... just gotta wait now for the results of my tests, the pain is pretty breathtaking when it hits but it's being controlled with meds...

Rotten when you've got a really whopper of a cold, especially now during the festive period, but as you say you just gotta ride it out, so hopefully you'll feel better soon... 🤧...
 
Sunny start here this morning, not cold either 49 deg f at mid-day...

Packed up a lot of winter stuff for the homeless charity and gonna get that to them today.
Forecast for the south of England is for 2 weeks of rain in 24 hours so gonna see if we can get everything that needs done outside done before the rains come, although being South East we might just miss the worst of the weather in the south...
