OK so I got bored with pogo, what can I tell you, If your not winning do something else.
I have Sirius radio on my boat, that's where I live by the way.
In case your have never heard or had Sirius you are doing yourself a great disservice. I've had it for over a year and it is great. I usually have on the coffee house which is channel 30 or 31. Tonight I decided to listen to something more upbeat. I dialed in Classic Vinyl channel 14. I can not believe all the memories that have flooded my mind. I have been up dancing to the Stones, Grateful Dead, Guess Who, you name it. Oh the dancing thing is OK, I live by myself, Maybe I should cover the port holes in case anyone walks by and they think I have gone nuts. That's right they know I am nuts.
If you have a boat or car Sirius is easy to pick up anywhere. the only thing that I have had a problem with is my microwave interferes with the signal. So just don't nuke anything in the middle of a good song.
Jon (the captain) that I work with bought Sirius for a friend of his that lives in the Bahamas. Delivered it last week when we did the boat delivery. It came in really clear.
I think I have about 120 channels to chose from. Have yet to not find the right one for my mood or like tonight to change my mood.
So this is to me a great way to have fun on a cold lazy day
Channel 14, Classic Vinyl, Sirius Satellite Radio
Kinks, Moody Blues, Zepplin, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, Who, Beatles, Cream, Clapton, Its a Beautiful Day, Zephyr and lots more.
If you have Sirius, and listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn and know what channel that would be let me know. I like him alot but this channel is to good to change to go channel surfing.
Good listening all,
Pat

Cold lazy day in Va
Well Thanksgiving is over and I ate to much as usual. I worked on Thanksgiving, no family around so I thought I would make some money instead. Miss having family around during the holidays.
Got back from the Bahamas on the 20Th, It was also my birthday (57) spent the whole day (18 hrs) in airports, cancelled flights and all of that crap. It was just myself and Jon (the captain) on this delivery. Made for some really long nights, someone always has to be up and on watch. It took us 6 days after leaving Charleston, SC. We took the outside as usual, and cut straight across the Atlantic. Past the Abacos, thru Hole-in-wall, across the banks, to Georgetown in the Exhumes. Absolutely the most beautiful place on earth. There is no way to explain the colors of the water and the breezes. Breath taking coral reefs.
I was gonna attach some pics to this but I am going nuts trying to load them. Ahh computers, guaranteed to keep you crazy and wishing you knew what you were doing.
Got a new HP printer, scanner, fax, figured out how to scan pics but can't figure out how to attach them to this blog. From now on I will use an online company to develop my pics. Still like holding the damn things in my hands. I know time to jump into the 21st century. I have several shoe boxes of pics from the previous 50 years of my life, you think I would get over holding them in my hands and leave it all on line.
Back to the lazy part of my day, I have spent most of today playing Pogo, (if you don't know what that is go to Pogo.com and have a ball) My mother would sit for hours when I was a kid and play solitaire, I have become my Mother, (proudly) I sit for hours playing Pogo. My grandson even has a Pogo account. Hes in Texas, do you have any idea how great it is to sit in Va and play games with him. He even talks to me in chat. Christian (grandson) is only 8 so I think it is pretty cool that he talks to me in chat.
Oh well I do believe that I have typed enough, think I will go back to Pogo and be lazy again.
Till tomorrow,
Pat

day 3 is crazy
So here it is day 3 of blogging. I went somewhere, didn't leave bread crumbs and then they asked me for my url??? Got out went to help, got my url. Uh Oh don't know where I was can't get back and have no idea how to find out where it was. God you have to love it. I haven't left my seat for over an hour and am so lost, I may never get back to where I was.
I guess it is time for a cocktail, and a few deep breaths. Oh yes I also need to go to my address book and write with ink on paper all of my contacts e-mail addresses. I can not figure out how to transfer them from excite to google. I don't have to worry about the writers strike in Hollywood, I will be trying to figure out what I am doing and will not be able to watch the reruns. See there is good in all adversity.
I must say that this is all very exciting.
So here I sit on my sailboat, listening to the wind in the rigging and playing on the computer, could life be any better.
Till tomorrow

Chicken soup
As the weather gets cooler. The thought of soup comes to mind or to the taste buds. I talked to brother Frank yesterday and reminisced about Mom. When she was on Chemo, she wanted chicken soup at least once a week. It got to the point that I not only didn't want to eat it but I didn't want to make it ever again. Now that Mom is gone. I get the warm and fuzzy's when I make it.
Pat's Chicken Soup
Use what ever part or parts of the Chicken you want. I use about 4 Chicken legs myself.
Boil the chicken legs in just enough water to cover them. Use a 4 quart pan or larger. After about 1/2 hour, remove the chicken legs and add the vegetables. I use College Inn chicken broth it is my personal preference, add a box (32 oz). I guess you can get it in cans also, I like the boxes better they don't rust and there not as heavy in the trash. Add pepper to taste. When chicken cools off enough to handle take all the meat off the bones, I cut it up into bite size pieces. Discard bones and skin. Put chicken back into pan. Let all simmer for about another 1/2 hour. Then add noodles. I like the really thin ones. Homemade is best, I use Vida's noodles. I don't think you can get them anywhere but Barberton Ohio, I have connections there and they mail them to me. You can also add rice but cook it first. 1 cup of rice should do. Remove Parsnip or eat it. I don't like to eat it so I throw it away. I do not salt soup till it is in the bowl in front of me. OK your ready get a bowl and enjoy. Hope it gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling too
4 chicken legs
1 stalk of celery chopped
1 large slice of onion chopped
1 cup of sliced carrots
1 parsley root or parsnip whole
pepper to taste
32 oz Chicken broth
noodles or rice
Total time till you have soup is 2 hrs but if you let it cool, refrigerate over night and eat it the next day it taste much better
