    Wife was honored again for her volunteering

    That is quite the story. Thank you. It is hard to imagine the number of lives you and Linda impacted.

    Binoculars anyone?

    I have the Nikon Monarch 7, 10x42. I have been quite pleased with them. They are relatively light weight and perform well. I have had them with me when photog birds with my Nikon D7100 and 200-500 zoom. The magnification on the binoculars was greater than the lens when set to 500 mm.

    I have been told that if you plant radishes and jalapeƱos together, it raises the heat level of the radishes

    Smoking

    Vinegar based sauce with pork. Otherwise tomato based in small quantities. There are quite a few places around the state that donā€™t offer sauce at all

    Smoking

    My parents had one when I was a teen. I remember it being easy to use. A friend from college has a Kamado Joe. Like you he is impressed with the temperature control. I have considered replacing my Weber kettle with one But I have trouble justifying the expense. Then again there is the cash flow...

    Smoking

    Possibly. The question is what style of barbecue does he prefer? We wonā€™t even get into the sauce / no sauce arguement

    Smoking

    Some neighbors, who moved away, gave us a small Traegar smoker as a thank you for everything we had done for them over the years. I tried it several times but just did not like it. I think it was the noise of the blower that really put me off of it. I am not sure what I would get if I were to...

    Smoking

    Yep. It has been a while though. I had a nice Pits and Spits smoker for close to 20 years. But I just didnā€™t use it enough. So I gave it to a local VFW hall. One of my favorite things to smoke is a pork tenderloin covered in cracked black pepper. It only takes a few hours and I can do it...

    riding to kick cancer in the butt

    That doesnā€™t look like the type of breakdown you could fix without a support team. How old was the derailer?

    World is a strange place and little bit history of photography

    Interesting history. I live in Houston, Texas area. Like Turku, Houston has a bad habit of tearing down the old. The Lamar Hotel is one victim. It had a suite numbered 8F which stood for 8 friends. At its peak, the state was essentially run from that suite. One further note, one of my great...

    riding to kick cancer in the butt

    I did my cancer treatments at MD Anderson in Houston. If I started feeling sorry for myself, all I had to do was to look around. It was not hard to find someone in much worse condition than me. When I first met with my oncologist, I was told I had a 42% chance of living 38 months. After 28...

    riding to kick cancer in the butt

    Ralph, Let me express my condolences too. Cancer sucks. There is no two ways about it. I am a cancer survivor in several ways. I lost my mother to cancer when I was 28 (39 years ago). So I understand what it is like to loose someone to cancer. I have had multiple basil cells removed and have...

    Remarkable Motorcycles

    Granted about the reliability. Triumphs and Nortons had the stereotypical reliability issues. All the same, if I had to choose based on styling, I would go with the British bikes over the Japanese or even the American bikes. The BMWs are interesting because of the piston orientation.

    Remarkable Motorcycles

    I have always been partial to the Triumphs. A neighbor has an old Bonneville. It is good to see them back in production.

    Music Green Onions - Drumming

    Good accompaniment. I am a big Booker T and the MGs fan. Their cover of Abbey Road is fantastic. When in Memphis, forget about Graceland. Go to Stax Records. The building has been reconstructed and there is a music school there now too. Donā€™t forget about Sun Records studio there. The original...
