Another shitstorm start today.

@ Travellin Dave - I may be going to NY tomorrow (Manhattan, financial district/Washington Square), what would be the preferred airport to use?

I think Newark that has a direct link to the train station, and take the train in.  JFK and LaGuadia are a hassle getting into the city.

Thanks

this week should be ok, it is a NJ transit train that makes stops at Newark/liberty airport Air train station, for trips to the terminals.  NJ Transit, might be on strike starting Sunday 3/13.

I will just take a cab probably

If you're going to do a cab, the other two would be acceptable.  Guess it mostly depends on what has the best flight from Austin.

Newark worked out better for my air travel so Newark it is.

Train would be easier from there to the city, then get a cab.  Take the AirTrain (monorail) to the train station (best to get tickets before you get on the AirTrain, at base of escalator), then cab at Penn Station.

Afternoon, TR, TD, Tony, CB, CG, BC, Flip, SFish, LTG, 3B and Raz when they come on.
Had bad cough come on Sat. am., had a very busy day, had a couple cigars that night, then Sunday am, more coughing, cold, body aches, didn't come out from under the covers all day, except to go to the bathroom.  A phone call just before 11pm got me up for a bowl of soup and to watch the news, then headed back to bed. Chills and body aches have left, but coughing has not.  Now on antibiotics and prednisone, but dang Clarithromycin seems to be causing the runs.  Where are my Depends?  Now that the temps have gone up into the 70's I want to get out on the motorcycle.

Afternoon Sly

Afternoon, TR, going to stick my head out the door, and maybe go for a walk, have to get some sun and enjoy this beautiful weather.  Maybe it will help me feel better.  Have to resist lighting up for a few days until I'm out of the woods.

You all need to get up and go to work or something or I'm gonna start making fudge with the pan I use to fry chicken wings in ROTFLMAO. Now who fry's chicken wings in a pan? You must not be from Buffalo.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing yesterday Rick, someone needs to buy him a deep fryer

Best Southern Fried Chicken I ever had was made by a neighbor lady who had many generations of Virginia roots.  She made it in a cast iron skillet on the stove in Crisco or lard, I can't remember which, probably the first, and then she would lay it on paper towels to drain.  I was a kid and I still remember it as the best.

Hi Sly,  if you were a kid when she was doing this, it was lard.  Just sayin.

Thanks, will try and do that.  I have only been to NYC one time and it was from JFK via Cab.

Had bad cough come on Sat. am., had a very busy day, had a couple cigars that night, then Sunday am, more coughing, cold, body aches, didn't come out from under the covers all day, except to go to the bathroom.  A phone call just before 11pm got me up for a bowl of soup and to watch the news, then headed back to bed. Chills and body aches have left, but coughing has not.  Now on antibiotics and prednisone, but dang Clarithromycin seems to be causing the runs.  Where are my Depends?  Now that the temps have gone up into the 70's I want to get out on the motorcycle.

Feel better, brother.

Thanks, Tony.  Can't waste this beautiful weather ... I've got to get out and walk a bit.

I had to get a shot in my thumb and that was less than pleasant.   Then 3 spots burned so I look like I have been in a car wreck.

Who are you calling an old goat, Sam (I am)?    You just may be right.

Lard does have its place, but I think Crisco shortening tastes better with Chicken. Dipping the chicken in buttermilk before dredging is also required, as is the cast-iron skillet.  The warden does a quite tasty oven-fry method, but for the real deal, gotta be Crisco in a skillet on a stove.

Don't forget a good brine soak before you start. 

Dahh, not in the south I am from.

+1  and personal tastes set aside, lard, not Crisco.  best fried in animal fat, vegetables were meant to boil or steam.  Nothing like a healty dose of serious stick to your veins fat & cholesterol for fryin!

Looks like I will be flying to Newark tomorrow afternoon and be in the Washington Square Area of Manhattan on Thursday if anyone happens to be around there for a smoke.  Flying back here Friday evening.

I might be able to swing something. That's about a mile south of where I am.

That would be fun!   I am staying at the Holiday Inn (not my choice) on Washington Ave and my time on Thursday is highly flexible.

I can't chat now but I'll pm you my contact info a little later. Let's see if we can get an NYC herf going.

Bring a good lighter and cutter for Tex to use as he can't bring them in his carryon.

Call for an old goat around here and 2/3 of the posters will think you are calling them.

  Crap, that's no fun.  Retired dermatologist at my Church, hollered at me, while crossing the parking lot at Mass ... where's your hat?
He recommended a hat with at least a three inch broad brim.  That afternoon, I was coming up an escalator at J.C. Penny's and right at the top was a display with Docker broad brimmed straw hats on SALE 25% off.  Couldn't pass it up ... providential.  Now, I'm out ... where's my straw hat?
