Damn - Dinner Was Good - I Am Ready Now...

 ...to do whatever it takes to blast off into happiness and history. Note, I did not say to blast anyone else; I merely said I'm ready for me to blast off into happiness and history and family history is more than good enough for me what with the meal I just cooked. It was that good of a meal I cooked this evening if I must say so myself but then again even my mother-in-law commented that she liked it (rather unusual for anything I cook).

That dinner of roasted leg of lamb, oven roasted taters, corn, rote kraut (red cabbage), fresh peas and fresh biscuits with butter melted all over them (or at least seeping deeply into mine) was delicious. Add to that an excellent frothy headed Belgian abbey ale - Chimay Grande Reserve - and a bit of a dram larger than a wee one of Kirschwasser and - all I can say is - right now I am a happy, well fed, slightly inebriated fun loving camper.

I just wish I did not have to ruin it all by going to work tomorrow. But such is life - want the good stuff then you need to work to pay for it - at least for we who are not rich and who have a work ethic (then again, I paid for this meal by selling an SKS but I had to work to earn enough to buy the gun in the first place).

That's a nice pic of me up above to convey that mood - don't you think! To say the least - right now I am feeling almost as silly as I look in it but maybe that is the Kirschwasser and ale talking.

Not Feeling Too Bad Now...

...about having bought a 6+ pound boned leg of lamb a couple of days ago nor about selling my Norinco Type 56 SKS today. I just threw the lamb in in the oven about 35 minutes or so ago and expect it to be done rare to medium rare in another 70 minutes or so. Not only does it already look scrumptious all browned and sizzling - since I seared it first - but it smells damned delicious already. I cannot wait to quench my anticipation by sinking my teeth in to it. 

If that is not enough reason not to feel guilty about buying such a nice piece of meat then let me just say that I paid for it and way more by selling the SKS. That makes me feel not so guilty about selling the SKS! As a matter of fact, the aroma of the roasting lamb has gotten me in such a good mood as to say I am almost (mind you I said almost) remorseless about having sold that SKS. I am afraid though, once the effects of the lamb and the Kirschwasser I am drinking - neat on ice - wear off, my sellers remorse may go up a few notches. Somehow though, I am sure I will never regret splurging for the lamb.

All the best,

Feeling Guilty Before The Deed Is Done

I am going out soon to sell a Norinco Type 56 SKS. 

All I can say about it now is damn - I am already suffering from seller's remorse. Yet, a deal is a deal and I am not about to call it off because I am now thinking I should have kept this one. Oh well, I can use the cash.

All the best,
