Fiat..?? Just go find a F-150 4X4.... You're gonna need it someday... Owning a house requires a truck... 😟

I couldn't live the life I live without a pickup truck.

Hell, I removed the trunklid on an 82 Oldsmobile for my first "pickup"

Cut the hatch and midroof off an old Subaru wagon for my second.

Then I had a dark period where I drove a sedan, but often times had the rear seat folded down and sunroof open to put 8ft lumber or pipe or angle iron/tube through the sunroof to the back of the trunk. Also had a small trailer I towed with the car for other stuff.

I don't think Victor and I have similar lifestyles though.

Smoked and chopped a chicken last night, was thinking of something new to try with it.

Trying my hand at making chicken gumbo today. Never made it before. Only had it once. Not sure I'll be able to accurately evaluate the finished product.

Possum in a trap this morning. Playing dead when I went out to it.

I opened the door and propped it up with a tire about 10 minutes ago. It's still sitting in the trap.

That one can live, whenever it chooses to leave.

Picked up and shook the trap until it fell out. Then it casually sauntered off to the thick brush at my property line.

Dunno if the crock pot is hot enough to be cooking the gumbo.

I had to leave for a couple hours. I'd started it in a cast iron dutch oven on the stove, but didn't want to leave that unattended so I dumped it into the crock pot. It's holding a light simmer, but it's not enough to keep the fat circulating. There's just a pad of clear liquid on the top of everything which I assume is the fats.

Not sure how to tell when it's done. Veggies are soft, the meats were pre cooked. Maybe it was done when I started and I'm just keeping it warm. The okra I got from the grocery store was at the very end of its shelf life, not fresh at all, so I dunno if it's gonna thicken things up effectively.

How long have you been crocking and at what setting? I've found that a crock pot on high four 3-4ish hours can get close to if not a full boil as opposed to a light simmer. Can't say for gumbo specifically. The couple I've tried have been cheats essentially

Well the gumbo turned out fantastic. Wife even ate one bite and didn't spit it into the garbage can. Said it was good, but didn't like the okra seeds.

I loved it. Ate two big bowls. Now I need a nap.

Had a Green Bay cigar smoking brother get into an accident just outside of Laurel MS. He's fine, the vehicle had $6000 worth of damage. Had to stay in town 10 days for all the repairs to be done. Nice enough town, he said.
