Typical Italian early Sunday dinner.

In December, Kunox was diagnosed with the tick borne disease, anaplasmosis. He’s been treated and is doing fine. Now, he’s got an ear hematoma and had surgery. He’s recovering nicely, just has to look like a nun for two weeks. He just grins and bears it.

Canada Goose Dumpling with fresh made wrappers. Problem is you can eat them as fast as they are cooked. So good!

Ammunition plant to open near TexarkanaMore than $100 million spent so far; owner says facility will employ more than 400 by 2023 by Junius Stone | January 19, 2022 at 9:38 p.m. | Updated January 20, 2022 at 9:01 a.m.HOOKS, Texas -- Expansion Industries, an ammunition manufacturing company whose corporate offices are based out of Carrollton, Texas, is preparing to open a manufacturing facility here.They have begun preparation work on the East Campus of TexAmericas Center, purchasing the main G Line of the former Lone Star Army Ammunition plant, and have begun preparing the site for operations.Recently, they also have begun a recruiting drive, advertising an on-site job fair they have coming up Jan. 29. They plan on employing more than 400 by 2023 and have plans beyond that.The facility will specialize in the production of primers, a key component in ammunition manufacturing, for the small arms industry."We have invested $100 million into the site so far," said Richard A. Smissen, owner, Expansion Industries. "This is all about supply and demand. There is serious demand in the industry for this product and right now, for various reasons, the supply chain is falling woefully short. So we are getting ready to do our part to help out with that issue."Smissen describes the new facility as state-of-the-art, featuring a high level of automation. He said the site at the former Lone Star Army Ammunition plant is uniquely situated for what they will be doing."The manufacturing facilities at Lone Star were set up for ammunition manufacturing," said Smissen. "Not only the way the facilities are laid out on the former base, but the facilities themselves are hardened to protect against possible accidents working with this material. What is here was ready for someone like us to come and set up shop. So we've had our people in there getting it ready for a modern manufacturing facility. We aim to be up and running in the first few months of this year."Besides getting the facility ready to go, Expansion Industries has already begun recruiting efforts for talent. Though touting modern automated manufacturing facilities, they still will have a sizable labor force, ranging from custodial to skilled labor and technicians, to their own force of truck drivers. They are looking at a wide range of talent."We will also need various engineers and skilled professionals," he said. "Those guys will be at a premium and we want to see those resumes."Smissen says Expansion Industries picked the Hooks area for several specific reasons."This is a big asset that will do Hooks and the surrounding asset a lot of good," he said. "Also, this is a key transport area, with easy access to highway and rail freight transport, right there on TexAmericas Center. When it comes time to start shipping, there is not a place better, both in set up and location. And we will be shipping everywhere, both in this country and many places globally."Smissen sees Expansion Industries as more than a manufacturing company, however. They have a core set of values that they emphasize with their products."Every box of our ammunition, we make it clear it is about freedom," he said. "The first 10 Amendments of our Constitution lay it all out, our liberties. And the 2nd Amendment is about the freedom of an American to be armed, to defend against any who would seek to take away that freedom. And should our 2nd Amendment fall, there is nothing to prevent the rest of it from being taken. We are a faith-based company and we make that clear. We are doing what we can to take a stand for American freedoms, support shooting sports and with this facility, we will be taking it all to the next level."Smissen made it clear it was quite a maze of bureaucracy he had to navigate to get this facility up and running."Miles of red tape and mountains of paperwork, that I can tell you," he said. "And we would not have gotten this done without the team supporting us at TexAmericas Center. Scott Norton, Eric Voyles, Jeff Whitten, Teresa Kemp, Devon McClosky, thank you all."(The Expansion Industries job fair takes is scheduled for Jan. 29 at 523 Titus Road, Hooks, Texas. Prospective employees are invited to email resumes to exp-ind.com online. TexAmericas Center is sprawling business complex located about 20 miles west of Texarkana near New Boston and Hooks, Texas.)

Nothing wrong with it being a trailer. Be proud, it's yours

Just got to the hotel in Kansas City . Long 14 hour drive! Let’s see what this town has to offer. Go Bills!!!!’

When the government tells us they are making the world a better place, just remember they ruined gas cans.

Good luck with it. Some very strong brand loyalty in this thread. I am not brand loyal. I love my Ford raptor, enough to buy 2, but I think all models have their lemons. Hope yours is everything you want! Good looking vehicle.

You’re hard to follow with all the miles you drive and vehicles you own or owned. What’s easy to see is your dislike for Toyota products. Lol have a fine day.

No he did not

Chiefs Super Bowl to lose! If I were coaching the Bills, I would not allow them to score until their last possession as the Chiefs seem to only wake up and play from behind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just Sayin ....

And resale value which Toyota trucks have the highest.

Oops, I forgot the NYE 2021 doe.

You think I'm going to pitch a fit over something like this? LOL I could care less. Since this has ruffled feather I went downstairs and snapped a shot. The bummer is I found a package from LAST fall that got missed, we could have used that tonight. The good thing is I have 9 packages sitting in the freezer now. That means once a month I get backstrap for dinner until the end of October. Woot!

Sorry Biz. Buffalo will make them look like mere mortals tomorrow

Easy now

Heat tape around my spring intake was a game changer. I believe they suggest replacing every three years. Here's a guy who swears by reflective bubble wrap inside his skirting.

I became a Bills fan back in the days of Joe Ferguson . Fans got mad when Joe would shake his head in disbelief when a receiver would drop a pass . Fans didn't mind Jim Kelly hollering at his receivers when they dropped a pass .

C'MON, share the love. We just want 1! Totally let you guys win next year. Scouts honor! I'm nervous AF. Trying to keep busy and not think about it all day.

Officially a Rodgers fan

I gave one to an elderly friend and have some big bagged chunks I’m getting made into sausage.

AFC championship in Buffalo this year.

Think deer are tough??? They aren't nothing compared to a wirehaired dachshund! Get well soon Kunox!
