How could a cowboy ride into town on Friday, stay two days, and ride out on Friday?

Riddle #4

Dynamite is a tool that can be used to cut down trees. To cut a tree 18 inches in diameter requires five sticks of dynamite: one on the north, south, east and west sides of the tree, and the fifth stick on the side to which the tree should fall. During construction of a dam, a tree 18 inches in diameter was completely covered by water. Since the treetop was fouling the boat's propellers, it had to be cut down. A diver went down and put a stick of dynamite on the four sides of the tree. Since the current is flowing south at 2 knots per hour, on which side of the tree would you instruct the diver to put the fifth stick of dynamite if you wanted the tree to fall north?

Another Fire

Yesterday afternoon an F-16 fighter started a forest fire here with a flare. By about 8pm we were beginning to get the smoke and about 3000 acres had burned. By this morning reports ranged from any where between 13,000 acres to 20,000 acres, close to a twenty square mile area. The problem the 1000 plus volunteer fire fighters faced besides the dry conditions was the 20 to 30 mph winds that we have had for the past 2 days.

As I am sitting here I hear the big sigh of relief from all the volunteers for the sky has just opened up and we are having severe thunder storms for the rest of the evening. The fire will hopefully be rained out. Another day and I am sure my young tomato plants I have finally put out in the garden would sure have been tinder, lol.

Horseradish Hot Hot Hot Wings

Horseradish Hot Wings

I am sure that everyone has heard of hot wings. Just deep-fry some chicken wings that have been cut apart and toss them in some butter and hot sauce. Well Horseradish is a favorite condiment of mine and I came across this recipe and tweaked it a bit to suite my taste.

Ingredients
2 1/2 lb Chicken Wings (cut at joint and wing tips can be saved for a stock pot)
1 Lime Juiced (About 2 tablespoons +/-)
1/2 c Ketchup
5 tbsp. Prepared Horseradish

1 small onion minced very very fine
3 tbsp. Olive Oil or melted butter
1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
5 1/2 tsp. Franks Louisiana Hot Sauce (reduce the amount if you don’t like spicy wings)
1/2 tsp. Ground Black Pepper and a pinch of salt if needed

Prep
Combine all ingredients in a plastic 1 gallon sized Zip Lock bag
Knead occasionally for 2 hours to get the marinade worked around the wings.
Cook on a grill or under a broiler.
Cook for 10 minutes, then turn and baste with marinade.
Cook for and additional 10 minutes or until done.
Be careful not to over cook.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed. I serve these with a Ranch or Creamy Italian salad dressing because I’m not a big fan of blue cheese. The Buttermilk Style Ranch is really the best. Make sure to have plenty of celery and carrot sticks on hand because these are very spicy wings.
