    I think I read "most" of the Destroyer series back in the day...then they added even more. I think there's like 125 now. Fun series, quick reads.

    Newminster Superior Round Slices

    I had some of it this evening. I've been buying it 8 ounces at at time. I find it's quite good...with a bit of spice that I like. As I recall the price is right, too.

    I can see!

    I had my lasix done in '99. I was 52 at the time. My check up this spring shows my eyes have faded...a wee bit. I'm now down to 20-30. It's pretty much uncorrectable, its mild cataracts. But, hey, I've had 17 years of REAL eye sight. Enjoy the view.

    Cornell & Diehl Cellar Series - Disquieting Discovery?

    Just saw a review on Youtube that mentioned that problem with that tobacco. Apparently, C & D are aware they have a problem.

    How was your weather today?

    Had a high of 31...with freezing rain, roads are a mess. i stayed indoors almost all day. Stepped out once or twice to check conditions. Got yelled at by the wife. She does not want me to risk the shoulder for any reason. She's a good nurse...a little grouchy, but that is necessary considering...

    What are you smoking?

    Just came in from outside where I enjoyed a bowl of Log Cabin. Nice evening, a little chilly (39), but doable. I'm beginning to like Log Cabin. It was gifted to me and, for an aero, is quite nice.

    My Zippo hates me.

    I have 4 Zippos. One has always been a spare. I use my SF and my 1982 solid brass. The 4th is also a spare. Number 4 lost its "hat" some time ago. Recently my brass lost its hat. So, I switched out from the spare to the brass. Turns out this insert is brass, it may well be the original for the...

    The last knife I made and the last knife I will be posting.

    That is a very impressive blade. I keep thinking I need to find a nice damascus skinner. Had a buddy who was a master knife maker, Jim Porter, didn't think to have him make me a blade and he died before I could. You buy your billets or make your own?

    Well, this has been a year of rehabbing.

    Well, the surgery went fine. Had some huge bone spurs that were causing the tearing. Cleaned out the spurs and patched the tear. Had the stitches out Mon. Rehab has started. Painful son of a gun. Arm is strapped down pretty much. Five more weeks of this. If I had some new tobacco I would sit out...

    Personal defense handgun suggestions for women?

    Back in the mid 80's I taught a women's self-defense, shooting, course. For a woman who is not going to shoot regularly I always go with a small frame 38 (hammerless). Some of the new ones are quite light. "Light" can be problematic---recoil. I go with Glasers--reduces recoil. More importantly...

    Well, this has been a year of rehabbing.

    Had a "hernia" surgery May 31st. Turned out the whole wall had collapsed. Instead of being in me 30 minutes it was an hour and a half. Two months recovery, followed by shingles, 6 weeks recovery. I go in Monday for a rotator cuff tear. That shoots 2016 and some of 2017. Not a good year.
