The eye is eary.

70 Gremlin was my first car. Rode it pretty hard with many “adventures” and it never gave up, and with zero costly repairs. I’ve heard all the jokes but have no complaints. Bravo AMC. Interesting Pacer fact: the passenger door was bigger for loading parcels.

Strong case for stupid.

Cluck is the new quack.

PM sent on a framing topic.

Oh good. Another shop stop on the Oregon coast. Thanks for checking in, and welcome.

Fast enough, but long for a nightmare.

So, since I’m currently obsessed with poppers. What is the downside of: 1. Using whipped cream cheese. 2. Mixing pre-cooked crumbled bacon into filling instead of topping. (Or shrimp, w/ bacon top.) 3. Serving 1 or 2 in paper cups with sweet chili sauce. Open to ideas. I found a 10” trivet...

Ditto the Weber Go Anywhere GG. Mine doesn’t see a lot of use, but it’s hard to beat if I plan on Q’ing some meat in camp. I carefully applied Duct tape to the box seams so it would last as new. A credible grill.

Middle age… for a tortoise. I think the lesson is to keep moving but take it slow. I can be spotted on the freeway.

Wait, are we all 72?

That’s impressive Jerry! And LBL/Emily too. I can manage 4 plus one flat bottom on a burner. I don’t guide, but enjoy the process and contribution to a camp of friends. Everyone steps up in some way.

Yes, I’ve used the canned cherry filling along with a chocolate cake mix and a can of coke. At your suggestion and with a bit of google sleuthing I just found Cascade Manufacturing (here in Seattle) makes Popper trivets for a 12” DO. This will be a surprise for my camp pals this Spring, probably...

I’ve never made biscuits or rolls, so something to try. I have made a similar “Mountain Man” breakfast, and it brought smiles from guys in camp. Probably the most fun thing for me was dump cake or cobbler. As you’re just dumping the 3 ingredients into the DO, your friends are worried that maybe...

Hey Jerry, I’ve never been on one of your trips, but it’s surprising you ever get out on the water ;-). Twenty years back (+-) I got fairly deep into DO cooking. Let me preface by mentioning that I cooked on fishing boats (Seiners) in the early 70s, and have continued to cook pretty much every...

Each island has its own personality. I have enjoyed stays on the big island Kona side (resort) and various locations on Maui (Lahaina side). Far and away though “home” for me is Kauai Island, Waimea Plantation Cottages, on the South side. You’ll never find a more serene place to spend time. It...

I had one but never used it. My eyes and nerves were fine then. I sent it to OMJ some years back as he was bitching about the shakes.

Lou was a complicated guy, no doubt. If I had to guess I’d say he was genius level but then compromised by culture norms that he couldn’t quite shake. Some guys are closer to the ceiling.

Well I got it. A night on cocaine: $600, and gone tomorrow. A new (decent) fly rod: $600, happiness for years. Make up your own.
