That is so sweet Turbo! Did she get to see it before it got covered again?
No, she usually hits the sack at about 7 or so, so she can get up early enough to exercise and put in some early extra hours at work. I'll have to show her these pictures tomorrow. She is my soul-mate. I'm hobbling around tonight, after fighting the snow-blower this afternoon and shoveling the inaccessible stuff, so she brought in all of tonight's firewood so I wouldn't have to stress my knees any further. I couldn't ask for a better partner. Did I mention that I love this lady, and that she is my best friend?

I made a remark in the other Valentine's thread about hot sauce as a gift on Valentine's Day. Well, this is my gift from my wife. :!)


How great is that?!


Now I have to go write in the snow! :biggrin:

That's a great gift for you Astronuc!
Take pictures of your snow script too!:biggrin:

Very nice, Turbo! Adding Moonbear's compliment, I think that both you and your wife are lucky. :approve: :-p
Thanks, Astronuc! We don't feel so much lucky as fortunate to have found each other and recognized what we represented to each other. My mother glommed onto Beth the very first time that I bought her home (and I had previously brought home some sweet ladies that were daughters of professors at Harvard and Princeton, that she liked) and we rely on each other constantly. I can't think of anybody else I would want to live with.

As long as Turbo doesn't make it the way he'd write his name.
You're right! That would not make the cut. "Watch out where the huskies go and ...":smile:

You have a sweetie, there! Our habanero sauce took our neighbor by surprise and made him an indelible reputation on his shift at the mill. Jeese! People need to use peppers, but treat them with respect!

Yes. From what I "recall", socks don't go with chocolates, unless it is 100% pure cotton and one is in desperate need of non-soluble fiber in one's diet!

Yes, he was experienced. No problem. They were having a "sandwich night" on his shift on the paper machine and he packed that little jar in his lunch box to spice up his sandwich when they were delivered. There were a few guys that saw him do that and asked if they could have some for their subs, too. He said OK, and warned them not to put on too much. They pretty much ignored him and treated the sauce like it was commercial salsa. Big mistake! That stuff is mostly pure habanero, with some garlic (which Alan gave us, BTW) - it's fantastic, but you've got to respect it. He said that one guy who brags about loving hot stuff (he thinks shaking Tabasco on a sandwich makes it hot ) put a couple of teaspoons of the sauce on his sandwich and about the second bite, sweat was beading up on his temples and he "casually" hustled over to the water cooler - and didn't finish his sub. :-p

Could be his favorite sock. I wonder if it has a name? :smile:

Not yet, but I'm thinking of calling it "Zapper". :wink:

Okay, more to the point, do you really want to know the answer? :rolleyes:

Yes, of course I do! I can handle it! I've been a grown up for ... oh... at least 2 hours now!

I imagined the sock was the last bit of clothing to be tossed aside. Altho, doing "it" in your socks is acceptable in cold weather.:redface:

Thanks! There was not even a trace of it when my wife got up to go to work and she shoveled it away, anyway, to get to her car. :rolleyes: When she got home tonight, I showed her the picture on the PC and she loved it. :!)
