Got a 3 lb bag of clementines...I think they are half gone. I'm the only one eating them.

Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Just arrived home from a 4-hour ride on the Harley. It was such a beautiful day we couldn't waste it staying inside. It's almost 4 p.m. and the temp is still at 59F.
We headed to Paris (Tennessee, that is) for an assortment of reasons. One of which was that Glenn's children gave him a nice gift certificate for a store there that sells the kind of boots/shoes he likes. A brand that is well-made and American-made and one he's worn for years. That was our first stop and scored the perfect pair of leather lace-up boots he'd been wanting. Yeah!
Then off to another place to get some brass name plates for his son's dog's collars. The dog has two. One is just the standard type. The other is an electronic one. Name plates done. Checked those off our list.
Then, best of all, we headed to a place called Trollinger's, which is a (now large) barbecue place that's been in business since 1917. They've been doin' it right for a very long time. They're barbecued "anything" is awesome, so we had a couple of sandwiches and something to drink and brought home 3 pounds of their yummy pork barbecue. Piggy heaven on a plate. We'll eat some and we'll stash some in the freezer for later on.
On the loop back home, we stopped at my youngest brother's house to visit a while and to wish him a good new year.
Then home again, home again, jiggedy-jog.
I can't think of a better way to spend the last day of the year. In a little while we'll pour some very, very nice bourbon and slip into the evening.
We might even stay awake to say "Hello" to 2012.
just finished watering the outside plants, picked all the dead stuff off them. these warm days, they really dry out quickly. gonna mop a couple floors. that's it. no party tonight, i am lucky if i can stay awake til midnight.
I get the same feeling sometimes, Nick! Welcome to the site!I'm not sure if I'm doing this right or not.
