RE: BIG CHANGES ARE COMING SOON (Nov 15 2023)
Dedmiston: Please know we do appreciate all of the hard work the admins and staff are doing to keep this online community in place. I only have one suggestion for when they throw the switch. They should put in place a re-direct page with the new website listed on it for those who do not see this announcement in time. I hope to see everyone on the other side. :B

RE: Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy
Glad the weather turned cooler for you and you got much needed rain. Even if Czarny resents it. Glad you’re keeping up with stories!

RE: South Florida RV park suggestions
I'd look for anywhere from Tampa on south on the Gulf coast. I'm also a fan of state parks.
Some of the interior places on lakes have good fishing but they also have alligators that have been a problem in the last few years. You'll still have to be on the lookout for gators and water moccassins but on the coastal salt water areas, they're less of a problem.
I use Allstays. Click on the map for the state and zoom in. Allstays Florida Map

RE: Fire, Cast Iron, and Soot
First item to remember regarding Dutch oven cooking is the “fire” should be 2/3 on the lid and 1/3 on the bottom.
Curious what you mean by this
Dutch ovens that are used in campfires have lids with rims to allow the piling of charcoal or coals on top. They also have legs to allow coals underneath. The 2/3 and 1/3 rule mentioned above refers in general to the number of coals or charcoal placed on the lid and on the bottom. There are a number of tables available that bring it down to a kind of science BUT remember, if there is wind or it's cold out, it will affect the temperature of D.O. as well. Experience is the best teacher. I'll list the most helpful links below.

RE: Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy
Congrats on being published. Glad your nephew is stepping in to relieve the holiday pressure. Family's good that way. Sounds like Czarny is glad to have the swooping bullies gone too.

RE: Cold Smoked Cheese
Any new cheese adventures of late?
Not sure how I missed that. It's almost cool enough to do another batch of cheese. I think we're down to just 2-3 packets left, so it needs to happen soon. The weather needs to help out though.
Have you thought about making your own cheese and then smoking it? I'm thinking about taking up cheesemaking.
I had some smoked jalapeño at our summer reunion and it was outstanding. It would be great to put in Tex Mex.

RE: Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy
Your SU has been through a lot this year. I’ve no doubt he was tired. About 5 years ago I found myself becoming easily tired. Doc said what do you expect? You’re past 65 so you’d better let off the accelerator somewhat. Thanks, Doc. :B

RE: Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy
Glad you caught a break from the heat. What about donating some of those instruments to the local high school band? Definitely I would keep the fife though. Even I can play the fife and I’d be using it for Hogmanay and Burns’ Night. Speaking of which everything is set up and ordered. Had to get 3 haggis (haggi?) for the bun fight this year because we have another 5 couples joining us. Give Czarny pets from us.

RE: Trip from Pa to Georgia via Virginia and Tennessee
Glad it was a good trip for you. We enjoy TN, MS, AL, and GA. Great places to visit. East TN and GA are getting crowded unfortunately. We also enjoy Maine, NH and VT. MT and WY are nice too.

RE: Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy
One of our favorite parts to a trip is coming back home and having the furbabies velcro on us. They really do miss us. We're taking our last trip of the year in October. Heading to Georgia for a memory lane kind of trip with the relatives. Cancelled another trip because of gasoline prices. I need both arms and legs so can't sacrifice those.

RE: FDR State Park campground in Georgia
We will be at FDR state park campground in Pine Mountain, Ga Tuesday,the 19th through Sunday the 24th.Are there aligators in the lake? If not,do they allow dogs to swim in the lake?
Alligators have been found everywhere in the South. Better safe than sorry so call the park itself and ask. They will tell you if it's safe.

What is the duct tape of your kitchen?
What is your go-to for rescuing a ruined meal?
I've used bacon and condensed milk to keep from throwing out melted ice cream. Fridge in the old tt went out. We had a third of a container of vanilla ice cream left. I mixed condensed milk in with it, added it to a roux and created a gravy with bacon bits in it. Was really good.

RE: What the heck is ....
We are in Cody right now and will be heading south to Utah Friday. But we just cane from 4 days in Bighorn Canyon National Reserve aka Americas Unknown National Park.
We camped in Horseshoe Bend cg which has w/e. It is worth a visit but it isn't a NP. We did get close looks at the Bighorn Sheep and Mustangs.
We did that a few years back. Sounds like you had a great trip. I'm thinking we're going to need to return next year.
