No slackers on this job site! |
Dropped the jackets, toques and mitts a long time ago, whew! |
Lets work to a rhythm guys! |
Did I bring my shorts? |
OK guys, Columbia, it's not. |
Toss in some of the grass, just like those bricks this Israelites made
before leaving Egypt. |
Hey, you got snow down my pants! |
This is the 4 person bungalow here. |
Need a bigger shovel here. |

More speed, we can handle it, really! |
Lost a couple back there. |
Nursing a casualty back to health. So that's white chocolate you wanted

It's important you make a nice door for your home, I like blue |
It's important to keep the doorway as small as you can! Can you pull
me in Ethan? |
Oh ya, no shoes in the house. |
Ah the influence of the RS. Home made crafts to adorn our entrance. |
|

Morning
Time
|
|
|
|
|
 Shee,
my boots turned into ice blocks. |
Too cold out there to leave our warm beds. |
Chefs start to consult... |
Lets
see the Iron chef pull off a meal in these conditions. |
Bacon deep fried in it's own juices, and 1st dozen eggs. |
This is the 2nd dozen, these are coddled to perfection, still runny yolks |
2nd 3lb batch of deep fried bacon. Now we have enough drippings for the
pancakes to start. |
After seasoning the grill and applying a thin brushing of bacon fat, these babies are
perfect. |
Very pleasant bouquet, the fork easily breaks through the tender
crispness, Oh and the hint of maple syrup put just the right amount of
sweetness on your pallet. 8.8 out of 10 I'd say. |
Was that a Russian spy over there? Don't know, we better look into
this. |
I caught a glimpse of him over there. What did the range finder say? |
100 meters south east from here, You pack the sniper rifle, I'll take the
chain saw. |
Glad those guys had the energy to track down Russian spys, I can't move
after all that breakfast. |
The scent of bacon attracted wildlife from all around... |
Bacon fat soup with dumplings, that will carry you though a long
hike. |
Michael Angelo trying out his inverted shell spin. |
Whao, where'd my nunchucks go? |
By horsy, maybe see ya next year. |

Finishing
off the leftover groceries
|
|
|
|
OK, that's the strawberries, raspberries, apples, bananas, blue berries,
pears, grapes and Honey dew. |
Got some cantaloupe ready here. |
Got some whole mandarin segments coming here. |
Chocolate is ready, lets dive in guys... |
Hey, that's my strawberry, bud, back off. |
Some rapid consumption going on here... |
This is soooo good... |
Running low on strawberries here. |
Can I lick the bowl? |
|
