It was "early days" and the chicken hadn't started sweating any fat yet.
PHEW!

OWTCH. It always hurts more when it's self inflicted.

6 General (my preferred brand) 11R22.5 tires @ U$550/tire
3 Deep Cycle Marine/RV batteries @ U$250
Just to get started. That's not a money pit. It's a canyon. Bv)=

Buffets can be a good thing or a hazard. With the reduction in capacity
as I age out it's hard to get my "money's worth" at an AYCE place. If
I eat too much I'm either miserable or so carb-loaded that all I want
is a soft spot and a nap. Bv0=
Still, sometimes on a weeked morning I'll hit the Golden Corral's AYCE
breakfast and pig out on bacon and some really good cinnamon rolls - of
course with hash-brown casserole, eggs, sausage gravy. etc. But, then I
won't eat anything for the rest of the day .... uuually.
