Just as sure as you decide to diet!!!!!

This is Stephen Kings house in Bangor, Maine. Notice the bats on either side of the batwing iron gate. In keeping with his writing.

For you folks that are like me, thought the maple sap was still collected in buckets as the Vermonter walked through the snow. No longer. The is the Top tap of aMaple tree. It flows into that plastic hose to another tree, see the next picture.

The hose keeps going down the mountain from tree to tree, the hose gets larger to accomadate more sap. It is fed into a large container at the base of the mountain. All automatic using gravity. Amazing.

We moved today. Good move. No problems.

Have you ever noticed when you decide to go fishing, the water gets rough. (not always, but many times)

If you decide to diet…. Ever notice how some wise acre will heat up a cinnamon roll! (smells so good!) Or the smell of your favorite will just happen to waif your way.

Decide to put the awnings out on the RV, the wind comes up (no joke).

Ever get caught in traffic, a big traffic jam…. (That’s cool, Being local you know a way around it) SOOO you start around the jam using the back way and find ten thousand others had the same idea!

We walk most every day…..When we carry the cell phones, NO CALLS. When we forget the phones, we come home and see..(MISSED CALL)……. yep!

We know we are not camping. This is more like a mobile Holiday Inn. But many folks still cook outside of their RV’s. I think the only thing they know how to cook is beef. If you are cutting back (dieting), beef cooking on a grill smells soooooo good! Many times I have yelled to them telling that is illegal in this park!!

There is a herd of beautiful beeves bordering this park. Now that I am trying to lose that few pounds and we are out walking along the barbed wire fence, I want to cook one of those critters on a BIG SPIT.

Now to depart from my original thought on this entry, have you ever saw a picture or a movie of something you always wanted. I saw a cowboy movie once where they cooked a whole beef on a spit. For days or hours I don’t know which. I mentioned that to my Bro-in-law once when we were at a convention in Dallas. He took me to a Hotel that had a half beef on a spit and I got to see the chef cut my beef the way I wanted it. I loved it.

SOOOOO tomorrow I am going to rustle a cow and cook it!!!!!

Come on down and we will eat until they take me to jail, where I will be forced to diet!
