Right now I'm heading up three different ad campaigns. (Which is insane in it's own right to do more than 2... Most of my contemporaries only do 1 at a time)
After finishing up the research reports and proposals, now I'm doing e-mail blasts.
My whole world is like an annoying amount of work with Text as it is!
When I go to sleep at night all I dream about is Philosophy, Edited Text and Zombies... Often with Overlapping themes!
Pretty sure in one of my dreams last night I killed a Zombie with a Dangling Participle and then explained to him how his life choices could never lead to the kind of happiness that Aristotle described as Eudaimonia.
The deal I worked out for myself to keep sane is that for every 5 contacts I make on an ad campaign, I get to make 1 post here.

For lunch today I had to run to town and pick up my wife's christmas present at the post office (missed delivery and she'd go get it tomorrow otherwise)
So I ran some quick errands, and decided to get a Whopper Hamburger.
Now I haven't eaten "Fast Food" in quite some time... And the fact that a Whopper value meal costs in 1 meal what I normally pay for 3 meals back here on the ponderosa!
But I figured I could go for a nasty hamburger.
The lady asked me "What Size?"
Small sounded too Small, so I went with a medium.
I had to say No to like 50 different Cheese and Bacon Options...
Once again Fast Food let me down in Quality. And I even put my stocking cap over the bag to keep it warm for the drive home!
Burger was pedestrian at best...
But the portion size... My God the Portion size!
I'm an active 260 pound man... I was barely able to choke down all the french fries... And I had to pour half the drink down the drain because I was bored with drinking syrup and there was no food left that needed washing down.
Do people actually eat like this on a regular daily basis?
How the hell could you do that?6'4"

Yep, they sure do. I can't dog them too much, I was one of them for a long time. Triple meat cheeseburger and large chili cheese tader tots was my staple, sometimes twice a day. I'll still knock down a big combo double or triple meat cheeseburger on the way home after a weekend hunting, fishing, or camping but now days I skip the fries and go with diet soda.

If you look back at the picture that is frost on the curtains. We left it out of the garage overnight because we would have to lay the top down to fit. We will either need to put it in the garage or cover it up when we expect frost. But, when the sun popped out while we were fishing, it sure warmed us up. Had to come out of the coveralls very fast.

A step backwards is better than a setback.
If this (insert whatever trivial thing that is upsetting me) is the worst thing to happen today, I'm going to have a great day.

the dull task of going to get a burger sounds way more interesting when you have Nainoa describing it, so suspenseful its hard not finish the wall of text
Oddly enough my last fast food outting was up in the mountains of Virginia over the Thanksgiving holiday. No town around for 40 minutes and the biggest stores there were a Dollar General, BP gas station and a McDonalds. I found the 3 random stores to be an strange choice for the trifecta of shopping places out in the middle of nowhere.
so I made plans last night to give the flounder anther shot this coming Sunday. Im picking up some new baits today after work.China is asshoe !!!

Don't get me wrong... The burger that I make at home is way bigger than a whopper and way better.
It's not like back when I lived in the city that I didn't ever eat a whopper. And it's not like I'm rockin' some six pack abs, eating only Chicken and Fish and drinking only morning dew.
But it's like when you stop eating fast food (And a lot of restaurant food) Your body goes back to the way it normally is and the normal tolerances for Fat, Sugar and Salt.
When I make a burger and fries at home... I take plain frozen fries... Lightly spray a baking sheet put a light sprinkle of salt on them. Bake at 425... Then when they come out toss with a little smoked paprika. (If you bake with the paprika on it will burn) And it actually tastes like Golden Brown Potatoes... Not Grease and Salt.
When I make a burger, is where it really gets good... I go to the country butcher and buy a giant haunch of a chuck roast. I cut it into 1 inch cubes and toss them in the freezer, along with the grinder screw and dies, for a half hour. Then grind it with small little bits of red onion and I make it into TWELVE OUNCE patties. Then I wrap them individually in Wax paper and zip bags and put them in the freezer on a metal pan, crank the freezer to high to freeze them as fast as possible.
When it comes time to make them... For a Bun I bake a Ciabatta bun or a sour dough from one of my starters.
I thaw the burger out in a water bath... Once it's thawed I set it out on a cutting board... Salt and Fresh cracked pepper on each side and a light glaze of Olive Oil. (The OO helps for a crust for when I take it out to...
THE CHARCOAL GRILL... (But honestly if a guy has an old seasoned griddle that's just as good)
I fire up the grill and get it rocket hot...
The whole time it's heating I'm letting the burger come up to room temperature, just sitting out for 20-30 minutes covered by the wax paper it was frozen in.
Since I ground the burger myself I don't have to over cook it in order to sanitize the ammoniated ass meat they put into it... I make that Mofo Medium rare... So that "Bench Resting" (Which you also do when making a good steak) allows the temp of the middle to come up so I don't end up with a cold center... Because at 12 ounces that friggin' patty starts out thicker than a steak.
Then I grill it on Retardedly high heat for 5 minutes per side. (If it was a steak it would be 4 mins) to medium rare.
While it's grilling I dress the Fresh Cibatta bun... I make a Tiger sauce for the heel... Which is half horseradish and half Mayo (Made from Olive oil) and then I crack fresh black pepper on it.
I've kind of wandered away from the whole Bacon Cheese burger thing...
These days I prefer Sauteed Red onion that I melt a little Blue Cheese into the pan once the onions are starting to glisten... Toss in a hearty amount of fresh minced garlic... Cover the Sautee pan and put a drizzle of Worchestershire sauce to steam into it once I see the cheese is just starting to melt.
Take the Burger off the grill and tent it with tin foil for 4 minutes (Lets the juices come back into the meat)
The Cheese and onion topper forms a little bit of a crust on the bottom... Just enough that you can slide a spatula under it and slide it ontop of the burger.
Top with Ketchup and Mustard if you choose... If it's in season I've become a really big fan of Cherry tomatoes from the garden that I chopped into a cutney with Fresh cracked pepper and parsley.
The Cold element makes a nice off set.
It's hard to go from THAT ^^^^ to "A Number one Combo with extra cheese and bacon"6'4"

Yeah that's not an LA accent.
LA accent sounds like like the midwest except it has a regional tweak where they make all of their OO and U sounds longer...
So in MN it's Minn-es-OH-tah
In Illinois it's Sheh-cegg-go
In LA they eat their soup with a Spooon
That long Awh thing is pretty much a MA or Boston thing.6'4"
