Well, I had a good sized tile job I been working on the last couple weeks. A couple of the kids on my crew brought in their camp grills. One day was burgers and dogs and the next day was breakfast. Eggs, bacon, hash browns & toast…. I can’t do that shit anymore. I can’t get back in the game after I eat. Totally worthless!

I never ate lunch while I was working for that very reason. Besides, it got me done earlier.
TBH I’m not really workin.
Spiral cut ham, roasted potatoes, rolls, steamed cabbage, green beans and cherry pie.
Turkey with the trimmings and peach pie. I'm not a turkey fan but everything else was good and the pie was excellent.
Red Baron stopped by for lunch
How well do those work? There certainly not a space saving device.
Works good. Takes maybe 10 minutes to warm up and another 10 to cook a pizza. It’s actually a really handy thing to have at the shop. We use it a lot.
I’m hungry.
Pan fried chuck eye steaks with sautéed onions and mushrooms, can o corn and a can o green beans. None of them French cut green beans either. Mmm mmm.

Hey CJ, one of these days, you're gonna have to show up for work a few hours early.
I know that black bark is some kind sacred BBQ high achievement, but not in my world. Don't get me wrong, a hard sear is flavor, but thats just burned sugar. I can't believe they do that on purpose. 
I'd have to try it to not like it. I'm chicken to try ruining something in hopes that I didn't.I know that black bark is some kind sacred BBQ high achievement, but not in my world. Don't get me wrong, a hard sear is flavor, but thats just burned sugar. I can't believe they do that on purpose.
Nah, I'll just do a burger and play it safe.
Chicken tenders and some pasta something with spiral noodles. The noodles weren’t that great, neither were the chicken tenders.
I saved the evening by making a Sprite and strawberry ice cream float. Haven’t had a float in forever. Mmm mmm.

Nice save.
.... it's 9:30 and now I want a root beer float.

When I was a kid we used to have some really big Coca Cola glasses with long metal spoons that we used for floats. I think we got them from Farrels or some place like that. Now I need a can of Ready whip, maraschino cherries and some Jimmie’s to go on top of my float.
How about spumoni ice cream? I love that stuff, not necessarily in a float though. I usually get it at an Italian restaurant after dinner. Do they even sell that flavor in the stores anymore.

We have those two, dad drove a delivery truck for Coca-Cola.
So did the neighbor across the street and two houses over.
.... So did the guy two blocks away at the bottom of the street
That was a lot of Coca-Cola drivers in literally a tenth of a mile.
We had a Coca-Cola bottling plant in the neighboring town the dad on the other two guys that were neighbors were drivers. Kind of odd in a town this small to have three guys driving for Coca-Cola that lived less than 10 rock throws away from each other. The bottling plant was about 6 mi away in our neighboring town.
We have the tall glasses and the tall spoons and oh dear God would I love to have the Coca-Cola Santa that my brother and I used as a football.
I've looked on the internet and I've yet to see one that was exactly the same as the one we kicked the stuffing out of.
The neighbor on the other side of the street had three of those steel Coke buttons that were larger than the garbage can lid...... Those "buttons" were nailed to the side of gas stations and stores that sold Coke products.
We had a big snow in 1968, 69 dropping 2 ft of snow here on the coast. That's going to live is a once in 300 year event.
Anyway back to those steel Coke buttons. We used them like toboggans, or better said, discs
Over the following week the snow dwindled. We used those Coca-Cola buttons, those big steel painted Squirt, Coca-Cola, and Tab things on the snow. They worked really good till they hit the slush impregnated gravel at the bottom of the hill. Over and over we made the trips down that hill, through the snow, into the gravel.
Yep we didn't stop our downhill escapades until the sun set.
Those beautiful buttons lost their paint, the iconic logos and the rest is history.
I'm betting they're worth a few dollars today. This is how we use them.

......what was the question again, Coke floats? 
It’s been soooo long since I’ve gone to McDonald’s, until just now. I had a Big Mac and shared a 20 piece chicken nugget box with the dog. It was 20 and change!

Wow, I didn't know it was that bad.
I'm same as you, can't remember the last time I went to McDonald's.
Wendy's and Burger King a few times in the last year. Their little bacon cheeseburgers are about the size of sliders but they're good enough to cure the munchies when you're in need.
