The verdict? Move along, nothing to see here.
The Old OLD Quarter Pounder was . . OK, rated it on a scaled of 1-10 it was maybe a 6. (Cariboo bar in Madison has one of the best (a 9). Then a year ago they switched it and it went to a 5.5 and now with FRESH meat . . .back to a 6. Juicier for sure, hotter? not really that I could tell. So it's nothing to make a special trip to McD's about.
Some guy in Fond du lac ate his 30,000 Big Mack on Sunday. Good God! He has had a Big Mac every day since 1972.

Then DJ found a recipe for bacon wrapped sweet corn that was getting great ratings.
Get a ear of sweet corn and it can be of dubious origin. Put seasoning salt of your choice (I used fajita seasoning) and wrap 2 strips of bacon around the corn. Wrap the corn in aluminum foil and place on grill for 45 minutes as you cook other tings.
We did this with some chicken and the sizzling of the corn inside the aluminum foil had me twirky with anticipation. Once finished, I unwrapped the corn and the bacon was all crispy and the corn looked fantastic.
First taste? blah- move along, nothing to see here. But the bacon was GREAT.
I have not found fresh sweet corn (this was not - they said "locally grown" define "local") since I stopped getting it on the Wednesday farmers market in Madison. There is a vendor that had the BEST corn and I have not found anything close to it in or around Columbus.
O well.
Still the BEST way to make sweet corn takes 3 minutes and you get ZERO silk to deal with.
Chop off the bottom inch of the wide part leaving the husks on. Place in microwave for 3 minutes. Take corn out and with a towel or glove squeeze the thin end so the corn pop's out (like you are squeezing one out). BAM - zero silk and a perfect piece of corn. Works every time like magic.

Scott Pruitt the EPA chief now has 11 (eleven) federal investigations against him.
Donald Trump's approval ratings have been uncannily stable for months . . . so was Nixon's.
OH - want to see gas prices ZOOM up? Watch to see what happens if/when Trump kills the Iran Nuke deal. ZOOM!! One more thing about our leader. The States that made him President (Wisconsin) was because the farmers thought he was the best choice. Those same farmers are getting crushed because of the trade wars, especially Wisconsin soy beans. I wonder if they are rethinking?
Probably not. They believed his lies once - why would they NOT believe his lies again.
OH yea - Trump wants to get rid of the Children's Health Insurance Program to save money for The Wall. The GOP has sold their sole to big business and no longer care about their fellow Americans.

Just a crap load of rain coming our way - looking at a few more inches spread out from Wednesday to Sunday. Wednesday looks like Thunderstorms all day starting noonish. Friday we MIGHT not get to 50 degrees with more rain and Saturday looks crappy with off and on thunderstorms. GREAT next week.

it's all I got. I better mow the lawn AGAIN! Didn't I mow it like 3 days ago?
Later my brother is driving down from Kewaunee and we going to play Power Grid to see what the hype is about. Gotta love board games. He used to have an original Avalon Hill game called Gettysburg BEFORE they invented the hex grid!
When explaining this game he said it sounded like a game called Management. except using Power plants. He and his best friend used this game as a took for a class in collage.
OK - gotta mow
