I often have to request that he "pump DOWN the volume". For some reason

I always like to do the pancake and sausage breakfasts. Especially the
one put on by the Italian-American War Veterans at the KC Hall. I slip
my squeeze bottle of honey into my pocket and go pig out - not planning
on eating anything ese for the rest of the day. And I either buy a box
of the Italian sausage patties to take home with me or visit the packer
that supplies them the next day.
