Finger Lakes in NY for a few days.

Back door was open while I was emptying the kids trash. Hopped in and wouldn’t get out. Wanted a ride around the neighborhood with the windows down. He got his wish. 10-12 yo mastiff. We have had him for 4 years.

So tired his tongue fell out.

My most worn summer shirt.

Learn something every day. Tope is an interesting species.
My son caught this bass on his second cast this morning. I got skunked.

From flour to pizza in a few hours.

@Aetas great pics. We are at 100 year storm levels here. Lull between the dumps. My son couldn’t wipe off the grin.

That Turquoise looks great
Almost a year on these. Can’t say enough good things about them.
I couldn’t decide on sizing and ordered a 12 and 13. The 13’s have been in the closet.

My son and I hiked Mount Mansfield this morning. 14 inch dump yesterday. Sunny today.

Sliced and ready. I grew up eating meat grey, the way my parents cooked. Met my wife and every time I grilled for her family everything was overdone. Finally got a Thermapen and asked everyone what temp do you want. I’m a rare guy now.

128 after slow cook and sear. Resting will get a bit higher temp.

My go to kettle accessorie is the vortex. About to put some steaks on right now. I can go low and slow and then have a hot spot to sear. Biggest bonus is I don’t have to listen to my wife complaining about a cast iron skillet that is filthy, although the best steaks I’ve ever had came out of cast iron. These are 95% as good.

Trying a few new pencils. Uni Kurotoga Advance and a Kurutoga Dive. Really good so far. Will have to see how they hold up with all the complications.

First “Kirkland”beer for me. Read a really good review a few weeks ago. Found it in store this afternoon. Highly recommended.

13’s are too big, but much softer leather.

The dog park behind us was hopping. Really well designed.
