the crop

i'm very pleased to announce that i now have more goddamned tomatoes than i can count. and i'm sure any of the little buggers that decide to come out of their beautiful little yellow flowers at this late date will not have enough time to ripen and find their way into one of the delicious burgers i will soon be able to eat. my happiest moment of the summer might well have been the morning when i spotted my first tomato.

the old camera is still dead. in the name of science, i drop it on the carpet every morning from a height of 1 inch higher than the previous day so in case i have similar problem, i'll know the exact height from which to drop the son of a bitch. so far i'm up to 31 inches. a lovely lady i know took pity on me and gave me her old sony camera. the old broken camera was very simple to use, just plop it into the docking bay and click on an icon or two and that was it. now i have to drag out some fucking cables and click on several icons. i was offered an old iphone to use as a camera but i turned it down. it looked too complicated.

it's been super hot here for the past week or so but it's a little cooler today. it seems like just yesterday that winter was ending and i was happier than a pig in shit when i saw the first daffodils popping up from the dirt. now all the summer flowers have more days behind them than in front of them. just like me. so it goes.

i love you sons of bitches.

Coffee is on

cooler here too. last night it was 81 degrees in the nest, tonight it's 78 degrees.

Gorilla Bananas said...

Them tomatoes look big and juicy, but the time to get excited is when they change colour. I'd be getting some bruschetta bread to prepare for the feast!

BBC said...

57 degrees and overcast this morning.....

texlahoma said...

Mid 90's here too, which is average.
Can't complain it's been below normal all summer, till now.

Nice lookin maters, I'll have to build a greenhouse for next year - too many grasshoppers or locusts if we want to get biblical.

thimscool said...

Grasshopper's good eatin.

billy pilgrim said...

when we got ruby she was a street urchin with no manners what so ever. while i was trying to house train her outside all she did was hunt and eat bugs. i guess bugs were a big part of her diet while she was homeless.

My okra is in bloom and I ain't no southern belle.

BBC said...

I think I would like a nice cup of tee.

BBC said...

Tea.....

billy pilgrim said...

dore - okra? i think that's out of my league. so you're a northern belle?

BBC said...

Dora is fucking almost a canandian.

thimscool said...

Okra is good eating!

BBC said...

7 AM: 50 degrees...

texlahoma said...

thimscool - Grasshopper's good eatin? Hmmm, never tried um.

Fried Okra IS good eatin, especially with homegrown tomatoes.

thimscool said...

They're much like shrimp. Capture, drown, pull the heads, legs, wings and upper abdomen. Throw the tails in a bucket of chili-lime juice. Grill em up and serve. Good poboy stuffing.

Okra battered and fried is close to heaven unless you eat too much. Then it makes your asshole fully automatic. Makes a great side dish for grilled grasshoppers.

BBC said...

Epson Salts with anything also makes your asshole fully automatic.

peppylady (Dora) said...

I'll let ya all know when I fry up some okra.
Not sure what a belle is aye.

Coffee is on

Fredulous said...

Those look delicious.

billy pilgrim said...

thims - the main thing i know about okra is it's a common crossword puzzle word.

king - 15:45 76 degrees. beautiful weather for a bike ride.

tex - we don't have many grasshoppers these days. i think the immigrants are eating them.

dora - i think it's some sort of debutante.

fredulous - welcome to the happiest place on earth.

thimscool said...

The nine irons or the Paki's? I ate my first locust in Pakistan and it was much more appetising than yak urine!

You guys should volunteer to take some of these Guatemalan kidsb off our hands unless you're just a bunch of racists like those fuckin Mexicans.

Mr. Shife said...

Those tomatoes look magnificent and will make those burgers awesome. Nice work, BP. Enjoy your weekend, good sir.

BBC said...

53 degrees and the fog just cleared out.

Where is that injun cocksucker? I'm kind of fond of those cocksucking injuns.

billy pilgrim said...

thims - we have lots of international orphans. i'm seriously considering getting one of your rescued pitbulls.

mr shife - yeah, my dad beat me to the punch again. he has one beautiful ripe tomato. like my buddy jay says, it's not a fucking tomato, its the holy fucking tomato.

king - who's the injun cocksucker? is he selling cigarettes and firecrackers?

Leslie said...

What's with all the fucking weather updates from the idiot?

BBC said...

Golly, that redheaded cocksucker just noticed that she has a keyboard.

Leslie said...

I hear your state is on fire. All you stupid monkeys who keep rebuilding near trees and wind get what you deserve.

BBC said...

It's a big fucking state, no fires on my end of it, other than our campfires.

64 degrees....

BBC said...

A nice fire in this area would be good for our economy. It would bring in firefighters and all their support groups and fill the motel rooms.

And right behind them would be the cocksucking whores that follow such events around.

Then our carpenters would be employed building new homes, fuck, we need a good fire over here, maybe we wouldn't be sending so many fucking trees to China.

billy pilgrim said...

our province has been on fire. the entire budget for wild fires was blown about a month ago.

thimscool said...

Leslie, it seems motherhood has kept you busy. I hope all is well.?.

What's the temperature down there in NOLA anyways?

thimscool said...

Also, where is your new blog? I need to update my blogroll link...

BBC said...

They won't stop fighting fires just cuz they don't have the funds on paper, all that money shit is just figures anyway.

LESLIE'S CODE...

billy pilgrim said...

kids are pretty quick with tablets these days. maybe leslie's baby is matching wits with the king.

BBC said...

The king is losing his mind, and I'm not going to miss that son of a bitch.

BBC said...

Fuck, it is 85 degrees in here, I may just start complaining if this goes on for a few more days.

thimscool said...

Give a kid a tablet? Might as well let them have an N2O feed in their clubhouse.

billy pilgrim said...

rumor has it leslie gave birth to the kwisatz haderach. we better be nice to her and i think the king is royally fucked.

BBC said...

72 degrees @ 8AM, looks like we are all royally fucked, find a cool place to hide today.

BBC said...

I think that dyke bartender likes me, when I was leaving social hour yesterday she grabbed me and crushed her itty bitty tits right up against me so I put my hands on her one ton Dodge tailgate ass and she didn't flinch a bit.

She has beautiful hair and I think she swings both ways, I'd let her suck my cock while I kissed her itty bitty tits.

Life is short, make the best of it.

peppylady (Dora) said...

Still hot here. Storm is on it way. What I hear.
