It's ten ( 10 ) plus degrees warmer already this morning than the last two days.

The OM is lifting The Lake Effect Snow warning from The Casa Del OM.

Honestly I have no clue. I love shrimp and grits. Was it chicken and grits casserole? Maybe?https://parade.com/913780/parade/ch...is-a-quick-creative-take-on-the-classic-dish/

No, but it was served with a chicken breast. Cordon bleu or however you spell it. I obviously don't get out much so the cuisine of the world passes me by.

It may have been polenta then. Polenta is ground a little finer than grits and has little smoother texture. Might be the reason it looked like mashed taters.

What color were they? A nice creamy white or sort of light yellow?

Grits will always be white corn.
Polenta is usually yellow, though it can also be white.

Have cheese in it?

It was white and creamy, and that's why I thought it was mashed potatoes. No cheese.

I’m believe it’s time to head home.

Yesterday I delivered to some fancy pants gated community in Bluffton. You know the type… Palmetto Bluff or Palmetto Crest or some bougie ### name like that. So I turn onto the golf cart size path going to the front gate and it has all these winding curves for no other reason than rich folks like curves. Lots of live oak hung across the road for me to hit with the boom of my excavator. Lots of traffic coming at me. Because it’s 4 O clock and old rich people eat supper at 4 O clock. Even more behind me. Those are getting angry because I’m going slow to avoid trees and geriatrics. Probably making them late for their Arnold Palmer at the club house.

Julio my site contact sent me a pin drop. However Julio is not very forth coming with pertinent information. Julio says to call him when I get to the gate. After 2 miles of said golf cart path, I see the gate. But I also see a sign that says construction entrance. My electronic device says go straight to get to the pin drop, but I’m thinking that doesn’t look like a great idea.

So I stop on the path and block everything and call Julio. Julio says go to the gate. So I says “ok”. Well… I get to the gate and all these retired NYPD looking and sounding dudes come out. They are unpleased. They said you were supposed to turn. I said Julio said go to the gate. They said where are you going. I said I don’t know. They said you have to have an address. So I show them the pin drop. They said who’s it for. I said I don’t know. They asked if Julio paid for my gate pass. Again, I don’t know, but I dam sure ain’t paying to get in to deliver a piece of equipment. I gave them Julio’s number.

After 10 minutes of back and forth they decided that Julio doesn’t speak English and it’s not my fault. Julio paid for the pass and the guys from law and order escort me another 5 miles to where they want the machine.

I get to the end of the road and unload. I ask Julio how do we get turned around. He said he did not know. Well that translates to English as you have to back up a mile and a quarter to the last intersection.

It was exciting to say the least. And I’m sorry @4mer trucker that I made you late for supper.

I'm curious because it's the second time I've seen this. Why the couple of drops of catsup on the gravy?

I would have made more if I knew the hoops I had to jump through. Don’t get me wrong. I’m grateful that the JD dealer has kept me busy these last few months. The yard transfers are gravy, but these customer deliveries are a pia sometimes. I guess to keep the good I have to do the bad.

Never been there but that sounds like Palmetto Bluff, it's rumored that a certain Female went and hid out there in 2016 after a unexpected Loss to 45

Wonder if she subsisted on White or Yellow Grits on her stay at the Bluff?
