My nephew & his family grew up in a cattle-raising family in central Illinois. They do not know what tri tip is.

Tri Tip is a California cut. Legend has it that it's from The Central Coast. Santa Maria? I grew up eating it. So I know that it was commonly available, and cheap , in San Francisco.
From what I have heard, it's usually just trimmed off the beef and put into the grinder. The rest of the world doesn't eat it.
Safeway has short ribs on sale for $5 lb. At my local Safeway, I ask the meat manager to sell me the vacuum package. He doesn't have to unwrap it or cut it. There are 4 plates of ribs. That's 16 rib bones. If you can eat 3 or 4 ribs per person, it's just enough meat for a small family. The package that I got today was about 20 lbs.
My first time falling off a ladder. Took a little bump. Bruised my ego. Maybe it's time for me to stop climbing ladders. I may have to admit that I am too old
Always a little drama to spice things up.
My recliner decided to stop working correctly. In order to get out of it (being an eager beaver when ordering I neglected to read the description carefully and it does not "lift" me up) I had to put two 2x4"s under the frame. Worked fine until today when the recliner started to malfunction and turned itself sideways, thus falling off one side of the wood. I did manage to get out of the chair, but even when on its back it does not want to work correctly. So, I just ordered another one from Amazon, and it will be here Wednesday. This time I made sure it is an actual lift recliner, and not just a powered one. It is more expensive than the one I have now, and does not have the massage/heat, but the massager only worked for a short time anyway. Problem is, it will not be delivered until Wednesday and today is only Monday. I will need to sleep in the bed for two nights. Sleeping in the bed is very difficult as it causes my shoulders to hurt. Sleeping on my back is not possible because the ex-roommate took all the pillows. I am considering donating the old recliner to the church. If they don't want it, maybe AmVets will take it.
I am always amazed by what people will pay and how bad they want, what other people don't.
I listed some old shoes. Nothing fancy or expensive. Stacy Adams. The junk that they sell at the mall. A brand typically worn by rappers and pimps. The two tone shoes that hipsters wear to go swing dance. Imagine loud shoes with a fake python print pattern. Halloween shoes. A Motown singer on stage. What you see on old people on a cruise ship.
One pair went to South Africa. Another is on it's way to England.
Wow. I would hate to see the shipping on a recliner. Except of course from Amazon where shipping is free.
i think I will keep it and put it in the bedroom somewhere. I took the wood out from under it, and it seems to work better, but now it is so low to the ground it will be hard to get out of. Hopefully it will last another two days.
You have to imagine that the wealth in other countries is such, that paying over $100 for used shoes is cheaper than buying new shoes.
They look down at us like we look down at countries with pesos. We can go to peso countries like the Philippines, where our dollars exchange for XXXX pesos...... Then flaunt our wealth. The unskilled jobs pay about $8 - $10 daily. Americans toss around US dollar bills like money grows on trees. Americans with no morals can exploit a local for $5 or $10.
When South Africans come here with their Gold Krugerrand, they exploit us. I just got exploited.
{My first time falling off a ladder}
yea buddy let just say , the ground won’t get any softer, on my unpopular event , I was smart enough to ditch the chain saw before smacking the ground , eating a mouth full of Sandy loom / horse *****, I did manage to fall the limb the direction intended , there’s another reason I don’t cut in Roofs anymore .
Sorry bout the chair Jim , been having recliner problems too, sounds like ya need to glue those board to the bottom of that chair
Hey Tim
I was picking figs. I wasn't about to let them out of my hands. Somehow, I was able to keep the fruit. So the fall wasn't for nothing.
