Benji is my pal, a 6 year old border collie I adopted last year

when I got him we had a Bar-B-Q and he ran away when I tossed him a sausage...

I'm spending a few weeks in Sydney watching sis's cats

this is Josie and she enjoys catching cicada then brings them to me... I'm not really sure why but I pat her for them anyway

p.s, please don't tell Benji

Not for Christmas, but today I'm having some friends here for my once a year brunch

John’s Fish Soup aka Bouillabaisse

Chop 2 Big onion & a "bunch" of celery

Add about 1 cup of chopped up Sun Dried Tomato

Optional add 1-2 Tbl of Beef flavoring for richness

- I use Better than Bouillon brand

Add some Costco Montreal Steak Seasoning

Add some Costco Rib Rub and Seasoning

Add some McCormick Cajun Seasoning

Add some Costco Fresh Ground Garlic

Cook for Awhile to lightly brown the vegetables

Add boxes of Pacific French Onion Soup (Winco)

Cook for Awhile until boiling

Add a can or two of Crab Meat (with juice)

Add 4-5 pounds of assorted Fish

- Salmon & white fish & scallops & shrimp

Cook for Awhile until boiling again

Serve (should be enough for 8-10 people w/seconds)

The way I do it, it makes about 2 gallons

Better than Boulion rocks!

But I use clam juice or fresh made fish stock for Bouillabaisse.

Graham I'd  have settled for the dog.

I got one of these.

The marketing idea is brilliant as the batteries fit a range of Bosch products, so you buy one  and you are hooked!  (I have four of these batteries)

One of these for doing timelapse with my phone.  I only wanted the clamp with tripod socket, but this was all they had, so I paid twice as much for something half of which I didn't  want.

And one of these.  I've spent a fortune on earbuds over the years (I  listen to audiobooks).  Before I switched to Bluetooth I used to catch  the lead on things like door handles, so six months was a good lifespan.   The BeatsX I had before these would not stay connected after only owning them for six months, and  I think the battery gave out.  (I bought them overseas, so wrote them off.)  I was actually using my Bose 35II on-ear travel headphones for a couple of months, but it's a bit  ridiculous wandering around with those on your head.  The Jaybird  buds are great, but the lead is too short which makes them pull when you turn your head — I've lubricated the lead with talc to help them slide, but now I am worried about losing them.

Great thread idea guys.   Remember...  (s)he who dies with the most toys wins.

So  what did  you all get.

>range of Bosch products

Not for this year, but back when we were remodeling (gutting and rebuilding) where we live now, Home Depot had a sale on DeWalt 20v tools so I bought a set

If Bosch had been on sale when I needed tools, they would have also been a good choice... and I agree, several tools that use the same battery is a really good idea
