The OSUT #224 the tide has turned

[klausm]

my mom always knitted when driving with my father, I am guessing to keep her mind off of his bad driving habits, will you be able to crochet on your road trip?

A little better pic..

The ones you want will be growing on dead woods...stumps or logs. The ones growing in soil are typically not edible from what I have been told.

I plan to pack what I need to finish my current project. I will be driving at least half the time but I am a terrible passenger so that is exactly what I do even on short drives around here. My ex put my head thru the windshield by rearending several stopped cars once...

OK it’s chili outside and at the suggestion of DD CKW is starting a chili.

Howdy CM! It's turning out to be a beautiful fall day. Hasn't really felt like fall yet. Even when it was cooler it was cloudy and damp. Today is nice and crisp.

I never said I could see well. LOL If that is a Chicken of the Woods, it looks old. Color doesn't look right.

Only eat chicken of the woods that come off of hardwoods, eating ones from a conifer tree will make you sick

They are called other names, but they are usually more orange/yellow in color, at least around here.

Mom, how long of a drive is that?

We are figuring four days each way at about 10 hours per day on the road. Mapquest is showing 2350 miles roughly for the shortest route. We haven't quite decided which route we are taking...still assessing mountain passes.

I gotta get going....I'll be back later.

I just walked out to the brush pile and I've gotta say once I get away from the shelter of the deck and my heater, it was pretty chilly. That wind has got a bite to it.

Susan's getting ready to go pick the boys up from her sister's place. I need to figure out what I'm going to do for my lunch. I haven't had any fast food for a few weeks. Kinda thinking Taco Bell.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Eh, decided to have chicken nuggets and some of the leftover mac 'n cheese with broccoli that the kids didn't like yesterday.

I found a big chicken of the woods years ago, but was afraid to eat it without someone able to look at it in person and say "yes, that is it".
