I attempted to install our cartop carrier on my wife's car. Because the car does not have a cargo rack I planned to use ratchet straps routed through the doors and fastened to the "oh-sh**" handles. Alas, my ratchet straps were too short and I won't have time tomorrow to buy longer ones. The installation was cancelled, and instead we will ride crammed in with our luggage, cooler, and Pack-n-Play. Good thing it's only a two-night trip.

I'm not sure what this has to do with the guy being so racist he was trying to hurt/kill children just for being black. This guy was racist. Race was the reason he targeted them. It had nothing to do with "junkies".

But, I'm not going to get into an argument on racism.

I still have not heard back from the people who showed interest in the dogs. Not sure if they changed their minds or if they are busy.

I'm about to see if my brother will get out his air pump to fill the tires on the truck. sensors are saying they are low. then I need to go get the inspection sticker renewed.
 
That is very pretty, HandOne.

I put air in two tires (that sensor was saying were low). Sensor now says all tires are good. I got the inspection sticker on the truck updated, grabbed some blood sugar test strips from Walmart, and got back home. I did have to get my friend to help me look for my registration so I could get the sticker-- and I was holding the registration in my hand like an idiot. LOL. Friend takes it from me and says "This is the registration". Me "I'm an idiot". We had a good laugh about it though. Next week is his dental appointment. Will have to get up very early for it. I hope the price didn't go up in the time we've been waiting. He got scheduled for it months ago. They have to put him under so he can have the teeth pulled. I'm trying to clean furball cat vomit out of my lap desk right now.
 
Reading a novel where they are sliding raw oysters down their throats with horseradish, lemon juice, tabasco and cocktail sauce. That reminds me that I don't understand why anyone would pay the price for oysters and not chew them. What am I missing here? I have eaten raw oysters but I chewed them thoroughly.
 
I love slurping oysters.

You're obviously one of the people still trying to convince us the divide is between races instead of between normal people with GOOD JUDGEMENT and junkies with BAD JUDGEMENT who murder people for bad reasons!!!
And/or you've been fooled by the evil FAKE NEWS LIARS who pimp the same lies...

One year a friend talked me into adding oysters to the Thanksgiving stuffing. Nobody would eat it because it smelled and tasted like it was rotten/spoiled... Rather than waste it, I ate most of it myself, trying to hide the taste under lots of turkey gravy, but wasn't enjoying it like usual.
 
I hadn't seen an Oyster or the Ocean for that matter until I was 10. I walked down to the shore with my M&D where a guy was shucking Oysters. He said "You want one?"... I looked at my Dad, who said "Go for it."... I put the Oyster in my mouth and it slipped down my throat without my approval. Everybody laughed except me, and that ranks right up there on the gross scale for me. I'm not much of a Seafood eater for life because of that.
 
Just smelling Shrimp or Crab or Lobster will initiate a sick reaction in me. I can't go to restaurants that serve any of that, which limits me to Burger joints pretty much. Clam Chowder is okay, and Smoked Salmon.
 
I like Oysters Casino I tried Clams Casino but clams are too chewy to suit me me. I tried an octopus strip once, it chewed like a rubber band. After a few minutes I discretely deposited it in the trash.

But back to my oyster question, why eat them raw w/o chewing? Is it just for the slime? Even the slime is masked by horseradish, lemon juice, tabasco and cocktail sauce.

I don't care for crab... got addicted to lobster tails cooked on the grill and served in butter while in Vietnam... discovered I couldn't afford lobster when I got back home... unless maybe in Maine... lobster might be a good excuse for eating butter... LOL! ... Hard enough to afford butter...
Got a family party tonight to watch delayed 4th fireworks... may take about 3 cocktail shrimp rings w/ sauce for the potluck... it goes surprisingly fast to my landlubber farmer relatives... maybe because my Dad made sure they all got some lake, boating, swimming, tubing, water skiing experiences in their lives...

Not a question to me... don't like the taste of oysters... maybe they are quickly swallowed whole to avoid the taste...

I had Crab / Lobster at Fort Lewis that was bad and knocked out 7 or so of us for 3 days while we were hurling our guts out. The way I look at it, it saved me a bunch of future money because it tasted good.
 
BBQ baked oysters on the half shell, topped with horseradish, lemon and cocktail sauce, is my favorite.
 
I've never been a huge fan of seafood. I like it less than I did when I was younger. I used to like clam chowder. I used to like crab OK. Never liked oyster. I liked some fried shrimp and I'll eat it once in a blue moon, but I've had some bad seafood that put me off it. My mother likes shrimp scampi. I like the sauce it comes with, but not the shrimp. Coconut shrimp is ok in small amounts. Chicken is my favorite protein.

Today I picked up oil & filters and my brother's RX. Put engine cleaner in the tank before refueling my truck. My brother has a job interview tomorrow night but we won't be able to get the inspection sticker on the CR-V until Monday or Tuesday.
