Wordless Wednesday...

Simply Tuesday...



Not much going on...

I could rant...but I won't...same old BS. I'll save that for another day...

Stupid is...as stupid does.

Weekend Report...

Cold weather is coming (not my favorite time of year) so Julie will be happy about that.



Not me...I'm a bear already. I've got a lot on my plate right now,

The auto industry is damn near on it's knees and about to go belly up, the economy is at a stand still almost, the big wallets on Wall Street have screwed EVERYBODY.

The oil speculators (they drove prices to 147 a barrel and 4 dollars a gallon) have now pissed off the Middle East because they are finally starting to show their greed by cutting production to jack prices back up.


Way to go boys...


Do you idiots not realize what you have done? Your greed and your bosses big fat wallet has damn near ruined the lives of no telling how many low income and middle class people in this country.

People that came right out of high school and went to work...well over thirty years ago!

We worked with our hands to build things, to make a decent living for our family. We saved and planned for retirement, not to live like millionaires but live with dignity in your remaining years and leave something for our kids to start out with.

We ARE The Economy...you idiot.

But no...you had to become greedy. You...had to fill your wallet with gold and silver while we peasants (and we might as well be called that because that's what we were in mid-evil times) grope for the copper pennies you throw to us as a bone and hope we will go away.

Greed
Jealousy
Hate

Greed turns to jealousy, jealousy turns to hate, hate turns to greed. It's a vicious cycle...And now you've got the whole world pissed off.


Well played big wallet, well played...


And now...you want our help. Oh, your big wallet friends in government will come running to your aid in your time of dire distress as you point fingers at someone else and cry "it ain't my fault, the peasants did it!"

Yes...shame on us peasants for wanting something...


Well played big wallet, well played...

This & That...



Grilled some chicken for my lovely wife last night as she has dropped the hint from time to time...you don't grill much anymore. Well...this is true.

The transition from summer to fall is a pain in my side...when it comes to grilling. Wind gusts, lousy days at work, (the last thing I want to do is fool with a hot grill) and I've just gotten behind on so may things around the house this year...

I'm only one man and can do only so much at a time...

I plan things...then...they get unplanned and pushed around or shuffled back in the mix and before you know it...

You have a 'To Do' list a mile long.

Turn loose of some money B.D. and hire somebody to do it for you.

Are you insane?
Me...turn loose of money to hire out work around the house?

Grass cutting
Landscape trimming
Mulching
Planting
Cleaning out
Hauling off
Yada, yada, yada...

Then on top of that, personal chef and all around nice guy (except for when I'm a grouch and that seems to be about everyday now)

Oh well...work does that to me and you know my feeling on that subject and I have a feeling work won't last much longer.

But, life goes on. Things are bound to get better down the road.

I hope...

Simply Tuesday...



We have hit a milestone here at MacDaddy's Grill.

I have posted here 1000 times...

I started this blog back in May 2004. It has been a part of my life for that long... and it has been my baby from the very beginning...

MacDaddy's Grill has let me express myself and give you (my readers) some great advice, some great recipes, a little fun and a look into my life...

It has been a great time (for me) to let you get to know me and my family.

My writing skills and story telling has grown over the years. I try to type like I talk...

By doing this, I try to give you a prospective into my own little world of a down to earth country boy...who loves cooking, loves cold beer, and loves life, friends and family.

I hope you keep coming by to check us out...

To all of my girls and to the many faithful readers we have acquired over the years...

From myself and Julie and Robyn...

Thank you...

B.D.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
