SaccoV I agree with many of your points. The difference is the boss in the Chancellor’s office. We have to remember that Yow was not even on the list provided to him from the search committee. If the University keeps Woodson I am comfortable we do not end up with Fowler 2.0.
Yup, that is me, the old man loser who sits alone at the back of the Church’s Candlelight service. Have good holidays
Red Apple in Lewiston/Woodville, West Rowan Cafe in Salisbury, and Ricks grocery in West Rocky Mount; all are hidden gems on the back-roads of life!!
Both the Legion and the VFW are still open and operating as you would expect. Still retain my memberships to both for such needed evenings. Still remember getting blitzed and almost arrested there before my wedding.
ugh, all of that beer just tastes like horse piss to me. Unfortunately, I live in the Communist Commonwealth of Pennsylvania when it deals with alcohol, so I drink with my Boys – Jim, Jack, George, and Evan. However, I prefer to drink an ‘old family recipe’ from a Mason Jar.
As someone who grew up in one of those ‘cul de sacs of nothingness’ I am offended by your comments and will wait for my apology in my safe place.
I believe we grew up well and are productive citizens of this country and our kids are not as snow flake as everyone tells me they are. Now let me go cook a late lunch for my 25 year old who just got up.
I agree with the stew, actually learned a few of the Yankees in PA that stew is best with eastern NC Que. Finally got enough to learn the differences in Q to get a local joint to change their ‘NC Pork Q’ (The worst tasting bull dung I have ever had) to only ‘Park Q’ on their menu. The owner says he was from Duplin County and it was their recipe, needless to say, he would have been run out of town with that mess.
Never learned to drink a beer, a nice family recipe or Bourbon works fine for me. Last weekend when back at the farm finally decided where the family still is going to be resurrected. Now I wished I had grandpa’s recipe so I will have to start on a new one. Any ideas out there?
Natediggity, a word of caution about McCallum, he is a great man but will scare the History and English teachers in the area as he corrects the swill they were brain washed with in the liberal Humanities classes.
Northeast NC, so you do not wear socks and know what a Chicken Mull is?
And his knowledge of Agronomy is more than learned in the text books of Williams Hall. Summers were the best way to learn the ‘Rest of the Story’.
McCallum, was that Milan Georgia or Milan Missouri?
We all know you have never left the North American continent. And really Canada is just Northern US.
Modeling the newest sleeveless T-shirt or 15 year old shorts with holes does not really count as modeling!!
McCallum, I wrote a paper while at State making these exact points about Lincoln. I ended up receiving a NC on that paper, had it thrown at me by the professor, and told it was in my best interest to drop the class.
I have always stated Lincoln was the first to bastardize our constitution then Roosevelt finished it with his New Deal. You should see the looks when I state that Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Carter are three of our worst unlawful Presidents ever!!
A question for all you sod guys. Us damn Yankees have issues seeding a yard with a warm season grass (still not enough global warming) since it will be brown 9 months out of the year. Is there any warm season grasses becoming adapted for us Yankees and out high fertility soils?
As for planting a garden, takes too much work compared to driving down the road to the local Amish farm vegetable stand. They grow all that I want, have it readily available, and a damn good price (cheaper if you pay with cash). The only thing I plant in the garden is Okra, they have not learned the value of cooking up a good pot of ‘boogers’.
The Penn State issue was horrible and all those who have been and will continue to be brought to justice (another Board of Governor fell today) are getting what they deserve for the horrible things they did However, the acts at Penn State while they included a coach and the cover up by the staff did not affect the eligibility of the student athletes. The student athletes did not receive improper benefits, they did not receive grades they did not deserve, they did not receive additional benefits on recruiting trips; all that was done was a criminal act of one coach and the criminal acts that covered that up.
In the end this was not an issue the NCAA should have ever been ruling on, due to the outrage of a coach being a child molester (the PC thing) did the NCAA pull a knee jerk reaction. Those that criminally covered it up trying to save their bums accepted any quick penalty from the NCAA hoping it would all go away. Luckily a few in PA continued down the criminal investigation and have continued to bring those to justice that needed to be brought to justice. This was not an athletic issue it was a criminal issue. If the NCAA is going to start to penalize schools for criminal activities of coaching staffs then we need to be making sure our coaches have their seat belts on and do not speed!!
The issues at Louisville and UNX are completely different than those at PSU. The NCAA hopefully will act accordingly, but I am not holding my breath for UNX to have anything done and Louisville will be slapped back into the Dark Ages.
Bill, does the ‘dirt’ feel like talcum powder?
Looking back what I think you have is a sub soil known as saprolite or rotten rock. You find this around the areas of limestone deposits. We find this a lot in the Lancaster, Pa Limestone soils just above the good limestone soils.
Since your ability to apply mineral P in forms, the high calcium is going fix a lot of the P you apply as Calcium phosphates, making it not available to your plants. The other issues as you apply nitrogen sources containing ammonium your pH is going to drop, this will mineralize more of the Calcium and also tie up P naturally.
McCallum is just jealous that Summer Erb gave me the time of day and introduced me to many of her friends, he was stuck with Jack the drunk next to the bowling alley, can you say Hep C!!
What are they mining in that dirt pit? The high Calcium is odd? There are some alkaline soils in NC, mostly in the range from Salisbury to Hickory. If the organic matter was higher it looks like a spent mushroom soil, but that would have higher organic matter and phosphorous.
Now to using it to grow vegetables, you are going to have a large number of deficiency issues, the low P can easily be fixed with some manure. Due to the high Ca, it is going to take a lot of Potassium and magnesium to overcome that high calcium. (K, Ca, and Mg are taken up and act a little the same way, when you have one this high, even if the other two are in a sufficient range, they will not be taken up by the plant)
I personally would not use this in a garden. I think it is best used as fill.
I agree with ‘Bill.onthebeach’ once someone says they are done, they are done. Learned this the hard way with the last two employees who gave their ‘two week notice’; which was actually an ‘I really quit 2 months ago but decided to just let you know’ notice. New company policy, you give your two week notice, I pay you for those two weeks (minus everything I find you did wrong the last two months that I have to pay someone else to fix) and tell you to get out.
It is cheaper for me to pay them for the two weeks then to spend the next three months fixing everything they F-ed up because they really quit two months ago. I then also go back and look at the work over the last two months; usually I could just send them an invoice for all the work that had to be fixed and do not pay them the two weeks.
Gott has been not there for months.
‘walk into my office’- you are too nice and professional. The last firing I got to observe was by one of my needless to say more ‘interesting’ client. He lifted the farm 2-way to his mouth, called the employees name, told the SOB to get out of his truck, leave the keys in the seat, and get the F off his farm. He followed it up with comments on what he would do to said SOB if he damaged the truck or lost the keys. Just take his worthless bumm off of his farm and it would be called even.
That is the way to fire someone.
Gott should have walked from Winston back to Raleigh!!!!
McCallum, does not know trucks. He is still morning the loss of his favorite surfing building, Harrelson Hall. He just seems to not understand the ‘wide stance’ question.
2013 Ford F150 with the 6 cylinder ecoboost engine, full 8 foot bed, standard cab, manual transmission, 4-wheel drive.
I drive it every day, have 117,000 miles on it, getting around 15 to 18 MPG with a mixture of high way and around town. I regularly pull a trailer with a polaris 550 4 wd 4-wheeler on it, has plenty of power for that even with the 6 cylinder engine. On the summer weekends I pull a 21 foot old Grady White Boat, again, no issues with power pulling and STOPPING that heavy boat.
I plan to get 250,000 on this before I trade. No major issues with this truck so far, now I change oil, oil filter, and air filter every 5,000 miles without question. I know I might be able to go longer on the air filter, but I get into many dusty farm lanes. Been through one set of brakes and rotters so far, changed them around 90,000 miles. So far no issues with the suspension (have had troubles in the past with tie rod ends and upper and lower suspension bearings with the Ford trucks).
The only thing that disappointed me was the cloth seat wore through at 100,000 miles on the driver side at the get in and out point. I blame that on the 4-legged black assistant that rides daily, I kept telling her to lift her legs and stop rubbing the seat. She told me to walk a little more and stop dragging my fat bumm into the seat.
I am in no ways an English major (Yes, I took English 111 a few times). But if that Fisher is coming out of Williams hall would it not be more correct to say it is a ‘Soilly’ Fisher and not a ‘Dirty’ Fisher since that Fisher is supposed to be in or coming out of Williams Hall. I think it would be more correct to say that is a ‘Dirty’ Fisher coming out of Tompkins Hall since he is not supposed to be there. I remember a cartoon explaining this in the past and will look to get a copy of it to post soon.
Bass, that looks like it will be good, have to try it sometime. I feel your pain, currently going through Mom’s recipe boxes to try to get them published for the family.
McCallum posting here is funny, he does not know the difference between a Chicken Mull and Chicken Rice Soup!!
I would like to find someone who can give me a homemade gift of finishing drywall, I will do most anything else, I HATE that. So if Kwanza can give me anything it would be a Mudding crew at the farmhouse.
