Hi everyone,

Turns out I will not be able to make it to the picnic this year but for a good reason: I have a tenative job offer as a housekeeper at my local VA hospital (James H. Quillen VAMC). I am just waiting for the background check to come back and I am not expecting any issues. This is a permanent, full-time federal
job.

So maybe next year I will finally be able to make it to a picnic...

Later,
Sean

Are you going to get to keep your new(ish) van that you were going to
have to give back to the bank?

Hello Dave.

25 Sep 19 10:47, you wrote to me:

Janitor or pan-handler? Bv)=

Both. But bedpan-handler.

The Feds gots a pretty good retirement program, too.

One of the reasons why I am happy to have this job. I've about 20 more years before I start to think about retiring so no time like the present to try to make hay while the sun shines.

Are you going to get to keep your new(ish) van that you were going to
have to give back to the bank?

Yes. Thankfully, they have worked with me. They said if I make a payment in two weeks (which I will be able to), they will put into forbearance the missed payment from last month. If I am going to declare bankruptcy I won't be able to refinance so I might as well make peace with what I am doing now and just keep going.

Later,
Sean

BINGO!

Back in the middle of the last century I had a summer gig at a local
hospital as an "orderly". But it was known as 'being a pan handler'.

Having to use a bedpan is one of the least dignified things a humern
bean can be subjected to without malice.

It's easier on all when it works out that way. You stay away from the show-leather express, the bank doesn't have to snag your ride, refurb
it and flog it to the highest bidder - and then try to collect the
difference between what they got and what you owed on it. Been on both
ends of that equation.

Title: Banker's Delight Shrimp Rolls
Categories: Seafood, Citrus, Sauces, Marinades
Yield: 4 Servings

1 1/4 lb Medium shrimp; peeled,
- deveined

MMMMM--------------------MARINADE-----------------------------------
1/4 c Olive oil
1 tb Minced garlic
1 tb lemon juice
1/2 ts Kosher salt
1/4 ts Ground black pepper

MMMMM-------------------MAYONNAISE----------------------------------
3/4 c Mayo
1/4 c Peeled, seeded, chopped
- cucumber
2 tb Minced fresh parsley
2 tb Minced fresh chives
1 tb Minced fresh tarragon
2 ts Fresh lemon juice
1/4 ts Sugar
Salt
1/2 c Grape tomatoes; quartered

MMMMM-------------------SANDWICHES----------------------------------
1 lb Loaf soft French bread
4 tb Unsalted butter; melted
Shredded lettuce

This wallet-friendly spin on the classic New England
lobster roll increases the flavor with herbed mayo and
toasted baguette slices, but lowers the price by using
large shrimp instead of pricey lobster.

Preheat grill to medium-high.

Combine oil, garlic, 1 Tbps. lemon juice, salt & pepper
for the marinade in a bowl. Add shrimp and marinate 5-10
minutes.

Pulse mayonnaise, cucumber, parsley, chives, tarragon, 2
tsp lemon juice, sugar, and salt for the mayonnaise
together in a food processor until cucumber is finely
chopped. Set aside 1/3 cup of the mayonnaise mixture.

Grill shrimp until cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side.
Coarsely chop shrimp, then stir into remaining mayo,
along with tomatoes.

Slice bread into rolls, brush outsides with butter, and
grill on both sides until lightly toasted. Spread insides
with some reserved mayonnaise; fill each with lettuce and
1/4 of shrimp mixture.

Makes: 4 sandwiches

That is good news... hope it comes thru for you... too bad you couldn't
make it to the picnic this year, though...

So maybe next year I will finally be able to make it to a picnic...

And it will be about time... (G) It might be back in Rochester/Newark
next year, for the sake of getting the Fords there...

Yeah, I will be thinking of you all while I am at work. At least it will be good weather for the picnic!

And it will be about time... (G) It might be back in Rochester/Newark next year, for the sake of getting the Fords there...

By that time, if all goes well, I should have accumulated enough paid leave not
to worry about it. I am going to keep the Caravan so with a new set of four tires and a brake job on all four wheels, I should be ready to come up there. It's really not that bad of a drive though I will not push it and try to come up in one day. This time around, I'd probably drive up to Winchester, VA or possibly Harrisburg, PA and stop for the night to continue the drive the next day.

Of course, if I have a motorhome, I could just stop anywhere I want within reason, but I'd rather not push the envenlope. :D

In any case, it wouldn't be out of the question for next year. Unfortunately, for this year's plans, the car accident in February seriously derailed my plans.

Later,
Sean

Full time federal job has some pretty good benefits, starting with
health insurance and retirement.

cut this down by four or more for just yourself. I would skip the
lettuce and instead put on some of our muffaletta olive salad mix.

Hi Dale,

Full time federal job has some pretty good benefits, starting with
health insurance and retirement.

That's precisely why I am hoping to get this job. I'm about 20 years out from retirement, hopefully, and would like to get myself set up to be able to enjoy retirement. I figure if I can do this the right way now, I'll be able to take care of myself later.

I am still waiting to hear back on the background check. It's been two weeks now.

I'll definitely check out your sub recipe too. Sounds good.

Later,
Sean

It was indeed good weather, if a bit hot for my taste... :)

And it will be about time... (G) It might be back in Rochester/Newark
next year, for the sake of getting the Fords there...

By that time, if all goes well, I should have accumulated enough paid leave not to worry about it. I am going to keep the Caravan so with a

With your previous job taking you to Williamsport regularly, you did get
used to the drive to some extent... ;) Good that you can keep the
Caravan after all... :)

Of course, if I have a motorhome, I could just stop anywhere I want
within reason, but I'd rather not push the envenlope. :D

We shall see how things work out by then... :)

In any case, it wouldn't be out of the question for next year. Unfortunately, for this year's plans, the car accident in February seriously derailed my plans.

Indeed it did... on multiple levels.... Hopefully things will work out
better for you by next year... :)
