Not sure what it was. It had been in the fridge for a while so I figured I
should eat it or throw it out. I ate it.

This can only mean that the Tim Hortons was being repainted.

this was the first of three pension pay dates at month-end/beginning of month and had to be appropriately celebrated
.

btw since TH started bringing in frozen doughnuts for re-baking , the quality is just not the same any more !

farmerman, you need to take a nice lil boat ride into the 1000 Islands and check out Pan Chancho. I think you'd like it.

Hopefully this weekend, ehBeth
As a reservist I worked very hard to AVOID it in 1976 -- I'm a landlubber at heart!
Beth-we talked about cruising up the NY ?Erie Canal from NYC to OSwego , then cross the Lake to Gananoque AND kINGSTON, LIVE THERE FOR A WHILE(WE HAVE SOME FRIENDS that have a house in the Kingston area . Then wed continue out the ST LAwrence to beat the season back home.
I hate ganging up with the trwalers because they are usually "party animals" and we are more oriented to natural sights and history. So , when I retire in 2 years,, were gonna do this one . We have to time it just right because the CAnal stays closed till bout April and that gives May and June to goof off. Then July and AUgust hAS TO BE SERIOUS SAILING around Nova Scotia or else chicken out and railroad our boat overland at SAckville NB. and into Fundy so wecan get back by October. Thats a half year commitment and right now my clients would fire me if I wanted to "find myself in the Erie/Rideau/St LAwrence waterway.
IT also requires accruing a huge pile of cash for diesel, and boat upkeep and moorings.
You shoulda come - we coulda met - I was working at the Olympic sailing site that summer.

Oh well, you know, hindsight...I spent the summer in Shearwater, Nova Scotia.
The Rideau's amazing <sigh>. September's when you see the 'serious' boaters there.
Last year when Set and I took the dogs on a brief driving trip along the Rideau, we met some really interesting folks. One couple was heading back to South Carolina by way of the IntraCoastal, another group from the Lake Champlain area had a beautifully restored cedar boat from the 1920's. Gorgeous thing.
A hot Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich, gobs of animal fat dripping from it.
