LOL!!! I'm not giving my Grandson my truck! No work on it tonight either. I'm cooking supper and then going to help my son put a heating element in their dryer. I'll get back on the truck this weekend though.

Somebody has to.. McDonalds, Taco Bell, and Whataburger does most of my cooking for me. It's not very often that I can be bothered long enough to cook anything. This week I've been pretty broke after buying myself more Xmas presents so I've ate at home everyday this week and it's weird. lol

I know! I have a wonder wife that always cooks and does all the household stuff. Been with her for 23 years! Her parents are 82 and 86 years old and she has been at their house looking after them for two weeks and I been a bachelor! I can make it pretty good on bologna and frozen stuff, but nothing like my wife's home cookin! As a matter of fact, she came home last night and is in there cooking right now!!!

A restaurant that offers grass feed beef, free range chicken, organic salads, gmo free bread, want me to keep going? You bet that would be a million dollar idea. My daughter sent my wife an article on how much crap is in a subway, unbelievable! People have no idea of the junk they put in their bodies. Its next to impossible now a days to avoid it but fast food doubles the danger to your health. When your young, you don't give a dam!

Oh yeah. We raised our own beef this year (grass fed on my buddies farm since I don't have all mine fenced yet) for the first time - now the freezer's full! Can't beat it. We also raise chickens, both for meat and eggs. Nothing like opening the freezer and seeing it full of good, non-steroid-pumped, wholesome meat. Then add the venison in to the mix...deer sausage, canned deer, etc. Can't beat it! Then the canned green beans, squash and zucchini, and the home grown potatoes and corn. The sad thing is, you can't trust anymore when people market something as "natural"...that can mean a lot of things, not to be confused with "organic." And it's also sad that you have to look high and low for garden seeds that are non-gmo, especially. It should be the other way around. "Would I like to add gmo corn to my order of all natural things? oh...no thank you." Off the soap box now...
