    The Sword Falls

    It's a team sport. Everyone including the support staff needs to play their part. And they all need to feel like part of the team.

    The Sword Falls

    You would have thought that they would have learned their lesson with the Herschel Walker trade.

    Utility Bill for December...SHOCK!

    I have gotten a credit carried over to the next month and $0 for that last month. Only happened once. After that they recalculate more often.

    Utility Bill for December...SHOCK!

    Level Pay in central Illinois, gets recalculated. Sometimes often. But it can reduce the pain a bit.

    Hello from Ga.

    K9ZM, but then I already told Alan that in email I think. For some reason the system thought one of your (KX3) posts was spam. Usually on a new user it's the posting of a link that gets it snagged. I told the system it was fine and everything looks happy again.

    Kentucky Dark Fired as a Latakia Replacement

    I suspect one of two things will happen. 1. They will make what they can with what they got and can get. Substitution attempts, very unlikely. 2. They will throw their hands up in disgust, move out the remaining stock and shut down. If we had a business friendly government, I would be more...

    First Christmas Pipe in a number of years....

    I have been smoking on a tin of Christmas Cheer 2007. Quite dry. But the magic happens once I get it lit. I pack this very tight. Initially it hits you with a spicy tingle and then transitions to a nice sweet sort of smoke.

    Kentucky Dark Fired as a Latakia Replacement

    There is a number of blends using dark fired Kentucky and Virginia's. Some with perique. I have not seen any blend claiming to use dark fired Kentucky in place of Latakia. They are very different components.

    Metal Detecting Hobby

    Fill your holes. Take your trash and treasures with you. We had a guy come through checking our little common area park. Guess he got disgusted with the junk metal and left it laying on the ground. Had I not paid attention I could have easily destroyed a mower deck.

    Kentucky Dark Fired as a Latakia Replacement

    Not as a replacement that I have heard of. They are normally used as a condiment. GL Pease Sextant uses both in the blend. Must be others out there that do that.

    Remission!

    Very good news! It is amazing to me just how far the treatments have come. Hope it stays in remission.

    We still have one of those old timey local banks.

    Plume or Mold on Margate?

    Taste it. It's probably salt, not sugar. May even be both. But I could be wrong. Mold will look like bread mold on steroids.

    dishwashing your pipes

    I just smoke 'em. Occasionally ream 'em. Sometimes I lick them and wipe on my britches.

    Favorite HOT Sauce?

    Louisiana, Frank's, Crystal, et al are all very similar. Mild. Red. Good vinegar flavor with enough salty taste. Perfect on fish and frys. I get The Pepper Plant direct, by the case. Good southwestern flavor. The Chunky Garlic is garlicky. The others I have not tried. But good value for...

    Aurora

    The ham radio bands took a big dump in the higher latitudes. Stations closer to the equator were still enjoying some good conditions. But of course, all this activity does enhance overall conditions as this sunspot cycle progresses.
