Pygmy

Almost stepped on a few of these. Poked him with a stick but he refused to move.

Almost finished

We still need the trim and a second coat. It's looking pretty beachy though.

Camping Time

I went camping out at Seminole Ranch with Dave and Justin. Plenty of mayhem, almost had a bow-drill fire.  Tried out the Vietnam era hammock, it was super amazing and cozy however I am not a back sleeper so about 45 minutes is the best I could do.

Workin Hard

New things are in the works.

Jerky Train

I made my second craigslist purchase, an unopened food dehydrator. It seemed like a steal for $15 bucks. The idea was to make my own jerky, and success was achieved! It was not a difficult process however the meat was still pretty expensive. I will have to do research on cheaper cuts to make it more cost effective.

Fantastic Camping Find

Our neighborhood had their annual garage sale and I picked up this jewel at the first stop. It looked like a basic camo tarp, then I noticed the netting and found out what it really was. A Vietnam issue jungle hammock complete with cardboard tags. It appears to be unused. With some new cords this should hold me high and dry next week when I go camping.

Pot Pie of the Year

I ate one of these at the Paula Deen restaurant in Savannah, it ruined pot pie forever, no others will compare. Luckily she has the recipe online, it cut the heavy cream in half so it wasn't as super-thick, but it was tasty all the same.

Did I Ever Mention the Book?

Yeah, I wrote a book, well more of a story. It was earlier this year and I just realized that I never posted about it. Alea did a great job on the cover.

First Batch of the Year

The Butler's Pantry is fired up. The sweet samples are ready to go and the spicy are on the way.
