Good Morning everyone and Welcome to a new Break Room! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

It's a chilly rainy start to the day here, but should clear up by late morning...plan on walking when it clears up.

Hope you all enjoy your Friday!

Welcome to the weekend Boomers. Enjoy your day!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning everyone.

Rain has stopped, but will undoubtedly start up again.

This morning we'll set up a sleeping spot in the study for my sister and BIL. There will be strict orders to satay away from the computer!

Good Friday morning. Brrr... no frost yet, but boy does that WADDB taste good this morning!

LOL, hagatha! That computer is off-limits!

I'm not actually looking forward to the visit. This house is a bit small for 4 people and Dude often won't come in at night if there are strangers around. However, it's been ages since the three of us were together and for some reason my BIL wanted to come, too, so here we are. It's only 3 days.

Happy Friday the thirteenth, be careful out there!!!

You just had to bring that to our attention didn't you?

I hope everybody has a nice day!

TGIF good afternoon everyone. Wow, I didn't realize it was Friday the 13th
Time is really different these days. I hope everyone had a good day!

It was very cold here today.Hopefully the sun comes back tomorrow.

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

Friday the 13th lived up to its name! All US flights were grounded yesterday. Right now the band is lifted so flights will resume. However there will be lots of delays for all those stranded passengers! Apparently the Air Traffic Control Radar went down along with Radio Communications so all flights had to be cancelled.

Hope all is well with everyone today...have a Happy Saturday!

Gerry

No drama over here yesterday!

Still good to be in the weekend. I'll start with the WADDB.

Happy Saturday GameBoomers!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Going to a friend's 80th Birthday Party today. Karaoke at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Have a great day Boomers!

Good morning everyone. It's very cold here too SQF! Winter is knocking on our door. Have fun tonight Gonnie. Whoa, glad I wasn't traveling yesterday Gerry. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Good Saturday afternoon. Hard freeze last night, so I'm still on my WADDB!

Opening day of deer season here, which is night onto a national holiday here! When hubby left at 5 am to head up to the family farm, it was 23 degrees. But it's sunny with no wind, so good hunting weather. The high is only supposed to be 47 today. I didn't go this year and I am so happy to be nice and warm and have the house to myself!

Good Morning Everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready along with hot cocoa and plenty of whip cream for the top!

It is going to be a cold day today in the low 30s right now. I will have to bundle up for my walk this morning!

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

Gerry

Good morning Boomers. Stay warm and have a great day.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Shopping is on the agenda today. ASL class, followed by Trivia tonight. 47 here this morning. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Sunday morning. Brrr.... our weather sounds the same as yours, Gerry. Already on my second cup of WADDB. My granddaughter went through all my hot chocolate mix packets, so I need to order more! I'm not a fan of the Swiss Miss ones after I found the Land 'O Lake brand. They are much richer and more chocolaty.

I started on cleaning up all my old cast iron yesterday. Man, that's a job. Some pieces only needed a good scouring, but several need to be taken down to the original cast iron and then reseasoned. Some are very, very old. I joined a couple of cast iron community pages on FB and got lots of information on how to do this. Some of them are collectors and pick up these skillets that are so rusted and coated in crud they put them in a lye bath! I'm just using the yellow cap oven cleaner and putting them in plastic bags for several hours. Even using gloves, my hands are still a mess!

Happy Sunday! I see a turkey has joined us in the break room.

I have some ancient cast iron skillets that are so gunked up I had to stop using them, besides which, they're too heavy for me to bother with these days. I sometimes do miss being able to use them in my oven though. Now they are dust collectors on top of my stove. I have actually discovered that I like using my genuine Revere Ware Copper bottom skillet these days. For a long time I wouldn't use it instead going for a non-stick skillet but the copper bottom really works great. I don't know what I used to do wrong before that I didn't like it.

It's in the 40's and sunny at the moment but I'm sure I'll be needing to turn my lights on all too soon now.

Have a great day all!

Peasis, after joining these cast iron community pages, I have learned that some of these ancient old pieces are very valuable. None of mine have any collector value, but I have a few smaller ones that I use often. But my favorite go-to skillet which I use most is a modern giant Hex-Clad. I've needed to replace a few pieces of cookware and I decided that I'm old and these are the last ones I'm ever going to buy, so I'm getting the good stuff! I probably use my cast iron skillets the most to make home made pizza. They give it a great crust.
