Sorry for your loss, 00. It's not even something I want to think about, but as Riley turned 9, it's kind of something I'll need to start keeping in the back of my head.

Glad to see ya back, though.

Yeah, I've always had it in my mind...he was 5 when little00 was born and at one point, mrs00 said something about him at little00's graduation and I was like....uhh, honey, I'm as optimistic as the next guy, but der hund is not going to be at little00's graduation. He'd be 23.

What's the status with Riley? Last I knew there was a hold on getting him to the island, questions as to whether it was worth it?

Oh, dear. You ARE behind the times here...

Man, it's been a while since you last posted, hasn't it?

It's been a few days short of a year since I have been on regularly. I maybe hit once a month and read a page or 2, but it's not near enough to know what's going on, so it's kind of fizzled lately...only reason I posted today is I feel like I used to talk about der hund fairly regularly, enough that I felt I should let the regulars know.

I live in Minneapolis now, so Riles is back with me.

I also occasionally get drunk with @BoxsterCy and we hit on mother/daughter duos.

Hey, glad to hear the partners are back together...I guess that kind of makes sense, I think I caught some posts about you guys seeing each other, thought maybe you were visiting your mom or something (seem to recall she's in north central Iowa).

That last statement gives me about 1000 questions, but rather than possibly step in another pothole by asking any that might make me look sillier than asking about riley...next time you see boxy, buy him a drink on me, and I'll have to owe you one...maybe we can catch up on other items sometime. I know he sometimes didn't see eye to eye with me, but I've never had anything against any of the RTT folks...trying to do better on disagreeing without being disagreeable...I think at times I just trust too much that people can do that, realizing that I sometimes need to be gentler. Speak the truth in love....I've always been pretty good at the first, working on the second. There was only one human who did that perfectly, the rest of us have to keep trying to get better.

Nickels and I split last summer.

And with the amount of beers Boxster spills when he's drunk, chances are yours would end up on the floor or on the back of some poor lady.

Heading to Iowa in two weeks for a wedding. Why do people like getting married in the summer when it's so damn hot!

At least you're coming to Iowa, where it might not be that hot...of course, you're probably living in Nunavut now, or something...but we froze our arses off trying to go to outdoor waterparks in Wisconsin Dells the last few days.

Cause bridesmaids getting faint in big non air conditioned Catholics churches in Sioux City and Carroll. Talking from experience here.

The key is to get really drunk the night before and show up hungover and super dehydrated. :rolleyes:

How's the pork product consumption going? I just had a pulled pork sandwich for lunch and it was delicious!

Very true. The ceremony is outdoors, but I'm really glad it is not a Texas wedding, otherwise I would be freaking dying.

My wife is going to the bachelorette party. I was inviited to the bachelor party, but I only know one guy going to it and we're not that close. I think I'll pass and just stay with the kids in Des Moines.

It also sounded pretty lame.

We got married the 5th of July. Rehearsal was 4th of July. The in-laws just brought a small photo album they had of our wedding weekend so the girls could look through it. At rehearsal dinner (picnic at a park in Ames) everyone had on long pants, sweatshirts, and coats. It was unseasonably cool out, our wedding day was just about perfect at 80 degrees.

They didn't even open the outdoor pool today due to cool temps. It was 50 degrees when hubby and his dad left for Veenker this morning.

With all that said, it will be 100 degrees in 2 weeks now.

I mean, not all that great, if I'm being honest. I had 20# of pork bellies in the fridge to be dry rubbed and cured starting the next day when the flood hit, lost my beer fridge that I also used for curing, and my freezer that could store a lot of pork fat...got the freezer back fairly quickly (because eating out of a side-by-side with 2 kids sucks), but didn't get the extra fridge back until last week, so I haven't had good bacon in almost a year. Picked up a crown roast around christmas/new years time that I made a month or so ago that was fantastic...but really, it's a bunch of pork chops not cut up, it's gonna be good.

Need to get my cure on for some bacon, Mrs00 going to be out of town in a couple weeks, probably a good time to mess with it.

100 degrees? Great. I'll probably wear this then:
