Yes! In fact there were some really nice shrooms, and I actually remarked to my son that it would be cool to know which ones you could eat, and which ones you couldn't, because if the ones we saw were edible, it would have made a nice meal or two.

The idea of foraging for dinner appeals to me, but the knowledge needed seems so vast and difficult to acquire that I don't feel motivated to start.

We should talk offline. Get the Audubon book. ($20.00) and I'll give you a couple/few/several you can't screw up. Doing the spore prints is pretty cool too.

In the mushroom dept, I stick strictly to the morels (dry land fish).

Eat these fellas sliced, fried in butter:yum::

Don't eat this fella, though:headshake:

That is a false morel, and some people can eat them with impunity, if prepared correctly. Some people get deathly ill, even if it is prepared correctly.

Toxins remain, correctly prepared, or not.:greenface

Also involving shrooms?

hahahaha


ah, no

This time of year, the sun comes through the front window at an angle and time of day that lets me witness a slowly traveling dispersion of sunlight, refracted through the corner of my fishtank.

I watched the pretty colors on the floor and thought it might make a fun selfie. I was right, I did have fun. :)

Here's a shot of the floor, and a wider, brighter shot of the floor for context. I'd thought about putting it in the what is this thread, but ... meh. :)

Yeh, Grav. We don't get many morels up here and they are typically pretty small.

Looking good "V"

From my company picnic, me, my buddy Cathy, my boss and two gals from the HR dept. I look like I photo bombed them...;)

Ripley's got a real Winona Ryder vibe going on. Nice job, Jim.

Nice pic Jim. y'all look happy. :)

Happy looking crew Jim!

Your kids are way too cute! And your woman, too!

Love the smiling faces.

Good one

Nice pic, Jim. Great to see everyone looking happy.

Thanks! My brother had the camera. He's funny

Now the question is, who farted in that pic? It could be anyone but I'm saying it's one of the girls, James' smile is much too broad to have dealt it... or is it?

I'm popping in to say high. I've been "laid up" for awhile, been in and out of the VA with my feet and leg. I'm using a cane now, but hopefully it is only temp. This is my new look for Halloween. I'm practicing my crazy old coot look. :D

Sorry to here that you have been feeling bad. We will be praying for you also.

I forgot the other pics. Yes, I have a chicken that lives under my beard and roosts on my head. lol

Sarge!

Cool chicken.

Great day for pictures. You guys look good. Even in the scowling second pic.

Wow. Kids looking soooo grown up now! Awesome pics Jim :)

@ Sarge - dewd, you is so rocking that beardie look, innit.

yeah, these are a couple of the shots we all took for my mom and dad. my sister's and brother's famblies all wearing black shirts and blue jeans.

There were so many fuggin gnats out that we may have to re-convene for a do over in 2 weeks.

That is a fucking brilliant photo!

The kid on the far left - he has such an adorable smile! Like, you couldn't look at him and not find youself smiling back.

Jim, you've got about five months tops before your son is taller than you lol. I love the way you can still see the kid even as the adult starts to show through. They look happy, healthy and confident.

Also - the bald chap - woof! Very handsome.

Lookin' good, Sarge! A kinda combo of biblical and eccentric!
And wow! All those Lumbergenes. Or Lumberjeans. Scary! But cool, too!

Sarge - you're just getting a start for Santa early ;)

Me, RFThis summer. Mug shot for my employer.

Sarge, dude, you look totally blissed with that chicken on yer head.

I gotta get a chicken. And put it on mah haid. Under my hat, of course.;)

I love the chicken, Sarge. And the beard!

Nice mug shot, Ortho!

Lookin good Ortho! Actually you are looking wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than good. ;)

I told my boss that it seems I photoshop well. He laughed and laughed. ;)

Nice mugs make for nice mugshots.

Add because of that, you'd be an asset on brochures to drum up funding. ;)

You're understandably all stressed about these board exams, but in spite of self doubt and attempted spousal sabotage, you've got this.

Boy Scout camping in the Blue Ridge this weekend. They convinced me to be a leader, so I'm an Assistant Scout Master for the troop now.

I started to say they were in good hands, but...

Gotta be careful. Just one bite, and they'll turn ya. (Wish we had a zombie emoticon...)

Oh god yes!

I think I just had a geekgasm at the very thought.
