@Seul:

I agree: wine has nothing but loyal to me…

Yup…(though could be considered a co-dependant relationship from time to time)

[Katsushin]

And here is my other favorite beverage, in my favorite vessel for said beverage…

[Seul]

What's in there?..

[Katsushin]

Sake.
My favorite that is available locally…

"Sacred Power"
A Junmai Ginjo…

[Katsushin]

Been trying to ease back into working a little the past couple of days.  Just finished a short session on this one.  Hope to be done by the fall…

[Katsushin]

Little detour before heading home…

[Katsushin]

Ok, one more detour, them home, I swear…

Partner in crime…

Tried to get a good pic with my neighbor's horse, but it just kept trying to eat it…EFF

Hahah aww s/he's gorgeous!..

[Madame Buttonfly]

Brilliant, Katsushin, thank you for giving the coasters such a meaningful existence - love all the pix (especially the little Audubon birdies!)

[Katsushin]

Anyone else remember in the 80s, when those painter caps with the neck flaps were popular?

So as some of you know I live in Northern California.  Humboldt County to be specific.
If you've ever heard of Humboldt, it is probably because of one of two reasons…
We are home to the tallest trees in the world (old growth redwoods), and the finest high end marijuana production in the world. 
In the past I've noticed a few of you like to throw out the ganja shots with the coasters.
Here is my regional version of that concept...


I'm not involved in this industry myself, but I do like living in a small community that supports itself through counter culture ideals.
Next time I'm on a hike I'll throw in the redwood shots…
Not trying to overly glorify anything, just saying this is the reality of the area.

KAT, I knew there was a reason I was looking forward to your leg of this tour.

Keep up the green, I mean good work 

[Beatle]

counter culture ideals..I like that

[Seul]

Some damn nice crops there…

[Katsushin]

For relaxing times, make it Suntory time…


Not a real whiskey aficionado, but this I really do enjoy.  Yamazaki 18 year  (the nicer stuff from Suntory, the famous Japanese whiskey makers…)

Last night went to a

Sat next to a

and ate a lot, but the little Japanese kid in me still gets this every time

(It's called tamago, like a sweet egg omelete.  Many Japanese sushi chefs say that you can truly judge the skill of a sushi chef by the quality of his tamago.)
