I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Wrangler or Dart for what I want. This is a good opportunity for me to get what I want.

As for the Viper, I'm a long-time Viper fan. Have been since it was a concept car back in the early 90's. It's not something I'd ever own, just something I personally like.

I'm pretty sure that if that donut was sitting in front of you, you'd eat it.

No, I don't think so. Not a huge fan of doughnuts in the first place, they're kinda lame compared to other pastries and desserts, just a gloob of sugary flour with more sugar "glaze" on top. But add bacon and it's a pox on humanity.

And I looked and behold a pale horse. And he who sat upon it was Death, and in his hand held a hot dog wrapped in a Twinkie. And all of Hell followed with him. Food Revelations 6:8

That's fine... more donuts for me.

Maple Bacon? Must be a Canadian concoction. ..... I learned long ago (the hard way) that all donuts tend to affix themselves to the love handles (for men, other regions for women) and are rather hard to un-affix in the short term. Carrots & celery with a low cal dip. anyone?



Made another video this weekend, lots of 'icing' involved in this as well but no calories to be found .....

*sigh*

...men...

My Grandma used to make the old fashioned yeast-raised donuts. They were deep fat fried and then she would shake them up with granulated sugar in a big brown paper bag while they were still warm. They were sooooo good and especially after a day out skating on the river in -20c temps. She also had a big bowl of jelly around for dipping them into. Yum!!! Don't know if you could even buy those today, if you wanted to - most of them are cake donuts. Krispy Kreme makes yeast raised, I think ... but they sort of went of business here in Canada - too much competition from the Tim Horton's franchise.

Jedi, I think you'd call those creations - Bressert! As in breakfast-dessert. Definitely a culinary macgyverism.

That is one amazing Video, Joe!

Okay, glad somebody enjoyed it ... makes the frostbite in my fingertips heal that much quicker.


..... you need to operate these drones with an ipad mini. Ipads are touch sensitive which means that
you have to expose(at least) your fingertips ... which in -30c windchill can get a might nippy. Still looking
for a multitasking glove that keeps the hands warm, and yet also maintains dexterity and permitting tactile
features as well.

I'll make you boys a deal. I'm trying to expand my cooking "horizons", so to speak. Since my donut kitchen experiment is "too gross", why don't you guys send me some "healthy" recipes for me to try. I'll give it a shot and let ya know how it went.

How did i get pulled into this?

I guess i could find a healthy recipe. Ill need some time!

Well, you don't "have" to, but if anyone has something, they can send it to me. As long as it's not chicken burgers... I still can't get the smell out of my kitchen.

My Dad laughed and told me that I shouldn't be using my smoke alarm as a cooking timer. Ha-ha Dad, ha-ha.

Okay, Jedi. Just PM'd you.

Doing a little shopping for my missus' upcoming birthday this weekend and then I'll be taking my son to a much needed park for some fun!

I'n going to a Silat training day on Saturday and to my niece's 3rd birthday party on Sunday

Silat? Martial Arts... right?

I was talking to one of my friends the other day about taking self defense classes. He's a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and mentioned that I should take ground fighting classes. I didn't even know that you could learn ground defense. He claims that because I'm tall, I'd probably be good at it.

Have fun denizen!

I'm actually just doing my usual. Nothin' new here. XD

Another weekend ahead! And as mentioned in the Valentines Day thread, I'll be going on a lunch but also plan on taking it easy this weekend.

Yep. martial arts

We're having our weekend today - going out for Valentine's Day because we're both working tomorrow

I hope you all have a good time!

I'm just doing my usual... I've been under the weather, so I'm not doing much today except drinking lots of water and getting lots of rest. Not that I do much for Valentine's Day anyway. I already hung out with some of my other friends this morning.

Good day so far, for being single.

Thanks to you, Jedi you have officially added another question to my endless questions of mysteries of the universe.

Q: Why such a lovely person who loves ferrets is single?

This weekend is the missus' Birthday so we will be celebrating that. Sunday is going to be the funday. But my mum is still in hospital & hoping she will be home soon.

Awww... shucks...

To be honest, that's a very hard question for me to answer, and it's been asked of me many times. lol I suppose I just haven't found what I'm looking for yet. I've had enough bad experiences to know what I don't want, so I don't really complain about being single.

I just kinda take the opportunity to grow, and do the things I personally love. If I happen to meet someone along the way, that's awesome. If not, no biggie.

Hope your Mom gets better soon, denizen.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to your Mom, Denizen!

Have received almost 20,000 hits on my last video + it was picked up by the national news broadcaster and also one TV show. So .... thought I'd make another:

Jedi, i am certain you will find your true partner.

And thanks to both of you for your wishes! Spoke to the doc today who is still running tests so we will see.

Joe, im not even remotely surprised your vid was picked up. The new one is even MORE incredible than the last!

How did you shoot all those ppl running to the ocean? Were they waiting on you? Or better yet, you on them?

Thanks denizen.

Keep us posted on your Mom.

I simply said, '1 2 3 GO!'

Seriously, I made up a little MacGyverism with the drone where on the push of a button it released a small grapple full of $100.00 bills into the water. Why else would anyone jump into those frigid North Atlantic waters?

Not! Seriously, seriously, it was the annual New Years Day Polar Dip that takes place at precisely 12:00pm on January 1 - each & every year ... and so I strategically positioned the drone out over the water and awaited the horn blow that would send the Polar Dippers forward and toward the lens.

I almost blew it though because these whirlybirds are still quite a novelty and people had surrounded me to ask questions .... seemingly more interested in the drone then the main event. And it takes time to politely deal with them. Nevertheless, I managed to lift off at about 11:53am, fly around a bit to find the right light and angle and then await the great human 'splish splash'.

Well,whose fault is it gentlemen?

Aww... lol It's not entirely the men's fault. I actually tend to keep to myself and I really hate dating.

Sadly, people misjudge this and think I'm anti-social, or self-centered. I'm not really, I'm just not socially graceful. I try to encourage people to get to know me first before writing me off completely.

I'm like an onion... I have layers. lolz

thats good to know Jedi

Joe, Incredible work!

Sorry if I was a bit slow to react,Joe.
Great videos ,I'm impressed. I was just wondering how you could do it.Thanks for explaining.

Okay, glad you've enjoyed them Tvero! Finally found some decent and conductive gloves to operate in the cold - Glider Gloves .... but not before I got 1st degree frostbite on my index finger last weekend. Ouch! First time for that and I can report that it hurts like hell ..... for a while, stays numb for several days, then the skin falls off in the affected area .... then it's all better and just like new!

Apparently a rainy weekend expected in my turf which I am perfectly fine with! It has been a heat wave so im going to enjoy the cooler temperatures.
