nycGUNguy 61 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I would just like to say too all the Moderators, vendors, contributers, members, and occasional dwellers: Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and may your holiday season be safe and joyful. Live life for today for you never know what tomorrow may bring. Set aside all differences and remember that we can all get along. I just had a good friend have a massive heart attack at work on tuesday in the lobby of 529 5th Ave in NYC only two hours after I saw him at lunchtime. When I got back to the building from another job on 7th Ave in Times Square, they said that he just collapsed and could not revive him. He was a healthy man who lived for his family and was about to be a grandfather, had a new second wife and a 7yr old. I have to go to the wake this weekend but cannot make the funeral. I just want to say goodbye to him. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. Like the McGraw song goes: Live like you were dying! Sorry to put a damper on things but I just wanted to put things in perspective. nyclu3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bvamp 604 Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I spent two days or so making a lasagna, and that was my turkey today. as usual, it came out very thick and tastey. Shared it with my father, stepmom, and ailing grandmother. Dont expect to have another thanksgiving with her. Went and saw Big Bird at the lake, couldnt catch him a fish. He seemed mad at me or something. Still dont know what kind of bird/crane/stork he might be, have to take a pic, or look in florida wildlife guides for him. Am unsure why the fish havent been biting the last two days near shore. My pet fish, however, appears to be eating now, since his 2200 mile trip in a bucket here last month. I may try the minnow trap here soon to feed them both, and try to make my new friend in florida happy. I dont have many friends in life, and this one here doesnt expect much from me. The least I could do is catch some fish and toss em in the water in front of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are usually the fisherman. If it has a ugly head with little or no feathers it is an Ibis. I bet it is a great blue heron. When I was younger we gave one bacon and he would always come to the pier like clock work. I am sure he slutted his way around the neighbors for handouts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bvamp 604 Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) I had a blue heron back home in NY that lived close by, and would fish in the front yard above my father's dam once in a while. It is not a BLUE heron. Where the pops lives now, there are some sand hill cranes that come around daily for food. big bird isnt one of those. he is not an ibis. he is not one of the white brids, either. he stands about 4 ft tall. Ill get a picture of him when I can remember to bring the camera. he only comes up to me and begs the way that he does, I think because I talk to him when hes there. I think he is a stork of some kind, actually. He is the only one like him Ive seen here so far. I dont want to break the law, or attempt to domesticate him, and that is why I toss my catch into the 2" deep water right in front of him. he missed a baby gar the other day, and seems mad at me, almost. I would love to pet him one time, and smack him on the ass good, to send him on his way, and keep him from trusting people too much. I DO know that he knows who *I* am, at least, but I dont want to see him dissapear or see him out in front of my house one morning... I think I might also cheat on big bird, and go se if I can become friends with a manatee. there are a LOT of laws (to say the least) to follow, but I think I know them well enough to see if I can maybe pet one, at least, and see if it returns to say hi sometime. I have to go enjoy life some more. its too short to walk around every day being pissed off or upset. edit: he appears to esemble a heron of some kind. I cannot find one that looks like him. Im sure he is something common, but do any of you have any bird books to look him up in if I post a pic? or a dictionary kind of site I can use to identify him? Im tired of thinking when its combined with a computer, to be honest. happy thanksgiving people. Im sorry Im so distracted, and am rude enough to not extend my best wishes to you all and your familes. Edited November 23, 2007 by Bvamp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry brother I havent been around, since yesterday, drink to much chivas regal, yes brother it comes tender with the skin really crispy in about one hour or frying all depends on the size of the critter, the skin get just tan brown nice all around and the best thing is that you can drink with all the guys as you fry the beast or beasts, man takes no time and is done just before the sitting at the table. By the way nice beast that jugs have over there. Edited November 23, 2007 by vjor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Happy Thanksgiving guys! P.S. Juggs that is one good lookin' turkey. Brother here is the scoop, you tell wife, you will slave like 5 hours or more to cook the turkey on the oven I can have it done on the back yard in like one hour, man she went for it, just think a woman usually takes like 5 hours to cook a bird on the oven the kitchen gets hot as hell and keep on watching the bird, you can relax on the back yard get a kit, burner, deep fry pot and peanut oil for like 50 bucks put the bird to fry on like 30 to 60 minutes as you toss some cold ones and all the guys that come to your place want to see the beast fry and toss cold ones and talk how good it smells and looks, the wife is happy you are happy and the guest are happy, the turkey is not happy. Yes takes like 3 to 3 1/2 minutes a pound of beast to cook at 325 to 350 degrees on peanut oil, did two beast one 20 pound and one 13 pounds in like one hour forty five minutes but I left the turkey marinate since night before on secret xxx marinated. Don't forget beer for the turkey frying, very important to keep hydrated as you fry it, in my case Chivas regal on the rocks. Edited November 23, 2007 by vjor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
