This guy showed up in the backyard, not as big as the other one (i think his father) that we saw some years ago (and got captured). This one is about 4' long (Dad was about 5' long, and the dad rivaled the size of a small cougar):

Nice pix, Bob. Where is this?

I believe it's on Bob's property, north of Dallas.

Intestine.

EDIT: Well, maybe other stuff added into the recipe.

My Argletonian colleague is confusing 'scrapple' with 'chitlins'. Scrapple is made of of bits and pieces of meat from the pig's head, shoulders and forequarters, macerated and then spiced. Served hot on a sandwich, it's not half bad. It's akin to SPAM, but with a bit more spiced flavor, I'd say.

Ah!

Yesterday a repair dude came out to repair our gas leak with the furnace. Found out we have a two stage furnace, some idiot only activated the one stage when he installed it.

BTW, Intel will, predicted by them, loose 700 $ million us 1000 $ million... they found a error in hardware on "Sandy Bridge" new chipsets... they have to recall 8 million already made chipsets... engineering error during design... one transistor was wrongly designed and after prolonged use it would die (the 3 GB SATA ports are affected)...

I would like to know what happened.

Apparently one chip design engineer designed that transistor work with too high voltage (and told noone - it was not supposed to happen)... over time transistor would die and so wotld SATA port...

quote:

Yesterday Intel announced the largest stop shipment/recall I can remember it ever making (excluding FDIV). The product in question? All 6-series chipsets, a necessary part of any Sandy Bridge (aka 2nd generation Intel Core microprocessor, aka Intel Core i7/i5/i3 2xxx) system. The problem? A transistor with a thin gate oxide being driven by too high of a voltage. The aforementioned transistor is present in the clock tree circuitry of the 3Gbps SATA ports that branch off of all 6-series chipsets. The 6Gbps ports are unaffected. Over a period of 3 years, at least 5% of all these chipsets will have some failure on the 3Gbps SATA ports. The failure could start in the form of errors on the SATA link and ultimately result in an unusable SATA port. No damage to attached hardware should result.

I'd love to try it some day. But I'll have to be brutally honest, the stuff does not present very well.

BTW, how do you know about it? Thats not Palisades food.

Dude...

I did my residency in Pennsylvania, about 40 miles SW of Philly. Spent quite a bit of time in the Amish country out there too where most of the chickens and turkeys are. Scrapple is huge in the Dutch / Amish communities of SE PA.

I believe it's on Bob's property, north of Dallas.

Correct... about 20 miles from the geographical center of Dallas. This big kitty seems to be a heckuva mouser... it looked like he dug something from under the snow, i am guessing a mouse or vole.

Well, that is an odd morning.

Did you guys have any hints about the layoffs ?

Nope. S.O.P.

Is the guy who is madly in love with her senior to her ? Does he bother her ? Do we need to help you take him out ?

Senior, yes.....a manager. Bother?.....the situation bothers her now that she realizes that he wasn't just being nice because they are "friends". She said she had no clue it was anything more.

well he bought her lunch yesterday.....and GFU later admitted that he probably doesn't do that for all his staff on a regular basis. I'm considering sending in the Dobbie and the Pitbull on a hit and fade mission. The Lab can watch out for coppers.

Other than that....all i can do is sit and watch where the cards fall.

Nik, it sounds like she is being very open with you and including you. I seems that you are likely on good ground with her. I'm sure she has the bigger problem of figuring out how to deal with this guy. It's even harder that he is her manager.
