Brunch on the road

When I first started working from home a number of years back it wasn't long until I realized I hadn't left the house for a couple weeks.  It was easy to do really.  It was winter, it was warm inside, and I had pretty much everything I needed.  Eventually it became clear to me that I needed to force myself to leave the house so that I didn't move to a level of crazy other than the one in which I normally live. After very little discussion with Karen we decided to make Sunday brunch a 'thing'.

We scouted around to a number of venues eventually finding one we absolutely loved.  This place is great!  (See my plug below!)  The brunch menu includes prime rib among many other awesome choices and they have what I consider a key feature:  99 cent Bloody Marys!

Holy cow!  I was sold.

We've been doing Sunday brunch for a few years now at our favorite spot, sometimes with friends or family, and my Sunday Mary's are cemented in my weekly plans.

When we are out camping or traveling it's nice to have a simple breakfast with one as well.  I've been scouring the web and looking for simple fast, easy, yet tasty bloody Mary recipes and settled on one that is super simple that I really love.  The key things are number of ingredients, time to prepare, and overall taste.

1.  A good Bloody Mary Mix. - Man there are some foul tasting ones out there. Find one you like and stick with it.
2.  Vodka - Once again, get something you like.
3.  Lime juice - for that bit of tang
4.  Tabasco - because come on, who in their right mind doesn't love Tabasco.  I use the green one myself because I have it with me almost wherever I go.

Mix 8 Oz of Bloody Mary Mix with 2 Oz of Vodka (Yeah right...only 2) a dash of lime juice with a few splashes of Tabasco.  Poor that over ice and Voila!  Brunch is half served!

(Check out Timber Lodge in Medina, Ohio if you are ever in the area.  Great food and Sunday brunch is the best around!)

There and back again....

We had a great two weeks in Michigan.  It was nice to visit family and friends although extremely hectic since I only took 1 day off during the time.  It seems we were constantly busy, going places to visit people, having people stop by, or driving.  Still it was a good time. Plans from here?  Well, we've decided to cancel our annual Gettysburg trip again.  This time it seems that there is just too much to do in preparation to leave again for AZ, so we've decided to stick around.  The Covid would limit what we can safely do too much for us to go this year. We will however, still be making our trip back to Michigan in October, immediately followed by our return trip to AZ!  More to come as we get closer. Karen and her Mom chilling at camp Tyler We had a special visitor! Sunset behind us lights up the tops of the trees Puppy Tax.  No it's not ours.  My Buddy Shannon and his family just got this cutie.  She's adorable.

Missing Chappy

It's not even been two entire weeks and I miss Chappy.  Since we took him out to the summer campground I've been really wanting to go out there and this long holiday weekend is the perfect time. The site that we were put at is very nice.  It has a deck that was made by the last residents and it works perfectly for us.  We'll be heading out there after I get done with work and I can't wait to sit on the deck and enjoy the fire pit tonight with a cold beer and maybe my pipe.

Long time no update - So I'll make it a long post!

 Sorry for the long delay in updating here.  There has been a lot going on and we are gearing up for even more activity over the next month. So what has been happening?  Well, the fun never stops that is for sure.  Work activities aside we have been doing a decent amount of work around the house, but you'd never know by looking at it.  A few weeks back we had a tree fall on the house.  Luckily, there was no Major damage, just some gutters that still need to be put back up and a couple of scratches, and dents.  The only real damage luckily was to my awesome Weber grill.  Poor guy had a wheel bent over that now needs replaced, but with the weight of a large tree on him it is impressive that he just has a tiny dent otherwise and works like brand new.  I'm no product spokesman for Weber, but they make an excellent, tough grill that lasts.  Can't say that about my last Sams Club grill that rusted out completely in 3 years despite only moderat...
