I did not make it, got my first real cold in a couple of years and just did not have enough UMPH left yesterday morning to do it! Besides, the cold gave me an excuse to drink to much fluid and I paid the price during dialysis, it was better with my BP bottoming out that I allowed Sunkawakanwi to drive me to and from the treatment. I am still getting the rapid fire sneezes and some coughing but feel a lot better.
That is why I am up at two AM, having just put a large pork loin in the oven at 225F to roast till five AM or so. Spent much of the evening just resting and dozing so woke to toast the new year with a homemade Sarsaparilla. Pensacola uses nearly as many fireworks on New Years as on Independence Day. It smells like the Chinese New Year in San Francisco remembered from my younger days. The started a "Pelican" drop this year, a new city tradition in the making. Big silver bird with a lot of lights fluttered down over Palafox at midnight. Along with the firecrackers and skyrockets there was a lot of evenly spaced pops from various semi-auto weapons being air fired at midnight. Will check the news tomorrow to see what got hit with falling lead.
Tomorrow Carolyn will prepare some cornbread and probably some greens to go with the pork roast and Black-Eyed-Beans for a lucky New Year southern style. The pork will be chilled, sliced, and reheated to go with the rest of the fixin's along with a bit of pan gravy. Will be COOL in the morning but should be clear so will get a First Day Ride in since I missed the one yesterday.
