Smartie's Bar & Grill #73

When your gardner is an artist...

 

You musta meant cheeseburger.

 

Holy cow!

 

You mentioned rough sawn lumber. I have a lot of trees to take down. I need to make room for a house, metal building, power lines, septic tank and leach field, apple orchard, chicken area, and shooting range. Depending on the amount and size of trees I take down, I might get one of these.

 

Speaking of Artist.How about Kirk Douglas' performance
in - Lust for Life - { 1956 } as the one and only Van Gogh.
To this day I think of Van Gogh as how Mr.Douglas looked
in the movie.

 

You'd be jailed, just for having such thoughts, where you moved from.

 

Lol right?
I don't care to cut down trees but this lot is so heavily wooded, it isn’t usable like it is.

 

Bourbon balls.Or the nor longer mentioned dab of Bailey's in
one's Morning cup of Joe,at this Pop stand nearly each morn.
I have my cup of Joe after dinner with me dessert.I do.

 

If the lumber can be used it won't be wasted. Before I give up a tree I always think about how long it took for it to get that big and wimp out.

 

Ok,then what kind of Cheese.? Don't say Blue cheese on a
soy burger.With Lemon grass and no condiments.

 

Looks like money to me. You know that stuff should dry before you use it. My stuff is from that old house I tore down. But we did cut down some poplar once. We had a guy saw it up for us. He built a barn with green stuff but we let ours dry for a year and used it inside for wainscot and beams and such. Love the green in Poplar.

 

So then you run back to the house and grab a handy Tree
tape to count the number of rings.Each ring makes for a year right.
What if the Tree was kinda obstinate.A Lone Wolf Tree.
Dint cotton the notion of having rings each year.
Not to be confused or conflated with Paul Newman's First stab
at Directing a movie :
- Sometimes a Great Notion - { 1971 }
A very interesting movie { beautifully shot and acted }.A very close-knit
Family of Loggers in Oregon run by a very persnickety Patriarch { Henry Fonda }
go about the business of Logging huge Trees.Geting up at 4:30 in the morning
and having a Loggers breakfast { Pancakes,Eggs,sausages,Waffles everything
but the kitchen sink } then off to work by Boat since a river is where the logs
are grouped for their final destination.I just got the Movie on
Tuesday from Barnes & Noble and have watched about a 1/3 of it.
I've seen it a couple times and it's really good.Very seldom seen on
TMC or AMC.Newman is in top form.

 

When my Father was a young man he cruised timber for a living. He could look at a tree and tell you how many board feet was in the tree.
In case you don't know what timber cruisers do...

 

Bein a Logger { Lumberjack } is definitely not for city slickers.
So it was odd that Paul Newman { who Directed } chose Michael Sarrazin
in a lead role.Lanky and big blue eyes,he was always an interesting actor.
But Not any kind of Lumberjack.He came on board in the script as a long
lost son returning home after boredom as a drifter.
Now,Richard Jaeckel was another story.Short yet stocky and brawny
his character was perfect.Story goes as Paul Newman was scouting around
for actors he noticed Richard Jaeckel at the beach with his Family,one day.
His interaction with his family really impressed Newman.Newman also
knew Jaeckel could use the work.The best scene in the movie involves
just Jaeckel and Newman.Very,very powerful scene.It earned Jaeckel an
Academy Award Nomination. Not about to give away that scene with a
spoiler.I give away too much as is.

 

That was a haunting scene. Will never for get it.
A good sense of humor can kill you.

 

Ordinary American processed cheese food product.

I do like the White American processed cheese food product more.

 

Gee I dunno.Kinda begs the question.is that the same cheese
Ol' Roy Boy uses for their Doggie treats.I bet it is.Only freeze dried.
If you see the word product after processed you know it's fit for
Sparky.
Sparky the dog.Not some schlub awaiting the Electric chair { Sparky }
after having a final meal of his own choosing.

 

I once worked for a land company. In fact, that is where we got the poplar. We would poison a lot of old growth trees to make way for pines. I kept bitchen about wasting the trees so he finally tangled up a log truck and we harvested some large poplar trees. I mean really... poison a 200 year old oak?

 

I'm a sharp cheddar girl. But American is OK too... melts better. Come to think of it, Swiss is nice too, so is Bleu. Guess I never met a cheese I didn't like.

 

Didn't an Alabama fan poison a tree on the Auburn campus a few years back? I never understood why someone would do that even if they were the rivals.

 

I am absolutely green with jealousy.... imagine having your own portable mill..... *sigh*

 

Me too... sharp cheddar and Ritz crackers. But I did get an asiago and cheddar cheese ball. Love asiago too.
