    What are You Reading Now?

    Wasn't feeling O'Brian just yet so switched over to a book about a local theme park from the 80's called 'Action Park' in Verona, NJ. Guy who built it wanted to be the "Disney of the Northeast", building something within an hour's drive from NYC. What he created was the most dangerous, lawless...

    Gossman is probably my favorite maker. His knives are no nonsense. I hope he decides to go a bit thinner in the future. Thin is in! Same here! Please post that Trentin when it arrives. Would love to see it. Since you like puukkos, here's a Martti Malinen and a Malanika puukko/leuku he just...

    What's For Dinner?

    Wifey took daughter to the fall social so the boys are alone for dinner. And that means nothing but meat. Chickens roasting but son demanded a smoked spam appetizer which I love making just to annoy the shit out of the wife. Score the top and seasoned with Meat Church Holy Voodoo for 90...

    What are You Reading Now?

    Started The Alchemist by Coelho. Read it many years ago and only started it again because my son will be reading it next semester in HS and I wanted to be able to discuss it with him freshly. Good lord I forgot how much I hated Coelho's writing style.

    Plant Sitting - Need Some Help Here

    I moved to Texas in my 20s and figured I would buy a cactus. It died in less than 2 weeks. All I could think of was that I was less nurturing than a desert. Do not take plant advice from me.

    No kidding. 30 slots @ $10 a pop. A $300 cob pipe. I'm in the wrong business.

    EMC Custom Cobs

    Check out Southern Roots Pipes on Instagram. Steve is a great dude. If you have a specific idea of what you want, send him a message and he'll make it for you. This is the one he made for me. It's one of my best smokers.

    Proof That Music Was Better 30 Years Ago

    As others have said, there's lots of great music being put out today but it's hard to find. The minute I find myself over-listening to 70's/80's/90's music is just a moment before I realize I need to broaden my horizons to current music as well as other genres. Jazz is cool but I can only take...

    EMC Custom Cobs

    Good luck! Guy randomly posts cobs and they're sold within minutes. I've already unfollowed him as it's too frustrating trying to get one.
