There is a Ball Joint

On my kitchen table. It looks sort of like a heavy, black, shower head, but is proving much more troublesome to add and subtract from a certain Dodge pick up truck.

Yesterday a friend of the kids' spent his whole day helping in the attempt to remove the old one so that this new one could be installed.
So far with small success. (Until he is better paid, I fed him...cookies...sweet and sour maple venison as per the earlier recipe, homemade applesauce and a pile of potatoes....best I can do....we are in the process of inventing a cookie recipe these days. We started out with the three-ingredient peanut butter cookie recipe given to us by a dearly beloved, really nice family member, who is at least as sweet as his cookies, and added oatmeal one time...chocolate chips the next...and yesterday a handful of coconut.....not bad so far. I'm thinking raisins for the next experiment.)


Here's to a better day today.

PS to all you kindly commenters....any time, any time at all..we do food fairly well and there is certainly plenty of the other side of the equation as well.

He's a lucky guy! If I lived closer I would definitely work at your place for food.

Ditto on Sandcastle Momma's comment.

Even experimental food.

Ball joint = lots o' cussin.'

Sounds like the pay is good! :)

I'm sorry, I can only offer my services if I can stay inside with the cookies. ;)

My cooking skills are better than my mechanic skills.

SC Momma, you would be most welcome!

Joated, ditto above. I burnt half a batch of the experimental cookies..not too badly. I put them aside wrapped up in foil...when Alan found the package, you would have thought that it was Christmas or something....they devoured them burnt bottoms and all. lol

Jeffro, best we can do, but they seem to stay around. The ball joint project was just too much to be finished in this weather with the tools the kids had. they put the truck back together and nursed it up to our neighbor's garage where he will probably get it done today. I hope so. We need to ship some cows to the sale

Dani, of course! If you are going to stop by we will save you some...or try to. lol

FC, we know about your cooking skills....and we do have roofs that need attention. Just bring that big ladder. lol

MSW, thank you! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
