Not a bad Father's Day haul

morganjim My maternal grandparents were Irish, and my paternal grandparents were Scottish, so.......

Won't work if he drinks like he's Scottish. He needs another plot right next to his.

Yeah, I read something about that a few years ago. IIRC, it was Quaker Oats and they divided a piece of land they bought in the Yukon for $1,000. I think the all the deeds were made worthless (not that they were ever really worth anything) when the land company went defunct and the land reverted back to the Canadian government.

Years ago I used to listen to "Sgt. Preston of the Yukon" on the radio and later watch it on TV. At one time there was a promotion in which you got a small (1 square inch maybe) of land in the Yukon by sending in box tops from Quaker puffed cereal. I don't remember if I ever did it or not.

BTW, the TV version was actually filmed around Aspen. The buildings were in a "town" near Aspen called Ashcroft. It's now a tourist attraction. Years ago, I cross country skied from Aspen to Ashcroft and had dinner at a restaurant there.

Also, there is, or at least used to be, a kennel at Snowmass that housed descendants of the sled dogs used in the TV show.

You may need a super long pole, too, if your land isn't close to the water.

In Scotland so you have to hunt and fish on one foot?

She got it as part of a promotion that they're having now - $100 off the Bullseye if you buy the Bull or the BFG.

I like how y'all think. Maybe I can make an treaty with the surrounding Lords that they can use my chimney starter "grill" if they also let me stand on their lands while using my grill. This is how world peace begins, gentlemen.

I'm still working on the conventions and expectations - This was all thrust upon me quite suddenly. Once completed I'll be sure to send PDF copies to everyone.

That is quite a haul you raked in, Lord prepperjack ! You are going to enjoy those Recteq cookers for sure. Great family and generous wife you have there! I would recommend hanging onto them!

[Jim White]

But where will you stand while grilling on the chimney?

[Panhead John]

Congrats on your new smoker! Great Fathers Day gift there from your wife. Be sure and post pics. Also….do we need to start addressing you as Lord Prepperjack? And should we bow when we see you, or will a simple curtsy suffice?

This! This is the answer!

Happy Father’s Day, Laird Prepperjack! Enjoy the new cookers!
