Jim Isbell asked "...what u up to?"


My Winter Picnic.  For almost twenty years I've had a picnic third 
weekend of January on the front lawn.

I burn firewood in a 55 gallon drum.

I make dogs and burgers on the Weber grill.

We all drink beer.

This goes on for five hours of so, snow or shine.

I always have a theme.  Since the date of the picnic, the seventeenth, 
is Ben Franklin's birthday, I thought that a Leyden jar would be 
appropriate for a center piece.  I just decided that I wanted a really, 
really big Leyden jar.  One, I might add, that I am NOT going to charge!
