This reminds me of my advent calendar. I clicked too soon and got one with varmints on it I want to shoot. Maybe it will teach me a little compassion.
Looks very tasty. Every year a few of my neighbors (and me) make about 60-70 pounds of homemade breakfast sausage. Later we make about 100 pounds of linked Italian sausage. All from scratch. You picture reminds me to get some from our freezer and fry it up. Yum.
My father always carried a roll of Neccos for my son (when he was a toddler). Great memories of Neccos.Well said Jeff
Great to see you here Dylan, glad you had a good holidayEnjoy catching up

I've eaten so much pizza this evening that I'm not sure I could manage even one of those wafers
Off to the market in the morning. It'll be cold and dark, and maybe wet. Going to keep my hands warm with my pocket-hogging Hartshead Barlow, and drink plenty of hot coffeeHave a good day folks

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Your Hartshead and bread are a fine pair.
Nice looking canteen/thermos, Jack.
Always nice to see your Hartshead Barlow, too. What a knife!!
Hope you have a good day at the market and stay warm, my friend!![]()
Good morning, Guardians.
It's nearly Friday again.
Hope everyone is having a good week.
I'm sure some may be tiring of seeing my '19 Guardians SFO Ironwood, But it's been my constant companion now for months.

Pic from last month. Whataburger has a killer sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich you can get on a bun or a biscuit. That's a cheddar jalapeño biscuit on the tray. As the kids say, "It's to die for!" Or maybe they don't say that anymore.![]()
Enjoy that steak, Ed. Give your Big-un a bite too!Lunch is coming up in a couple of hours and we're headed out to our town's local steak house. I'll be carrying this "Big-un" with buffalo horn covers. Kinda ironic as it's posing on a wood fired cook stove.

I'll be up in your neck of the woods the week of 15 - 18 December Dylan. I'll be at OHSU so their doctors can have a look see at me.
I have my Grampa's calabash pipe. it has a porcelain bowl insert rather than meerschaum.Thank you, Jack. It is always a pleasure getting caught up (when it's feasible that is).
Well, I hope it isn't for anything too dire, Ed. I've heard the folks at OHSU are top notch so I hope they do right by you. If you have any room in your schedule, shoot me a PM, maybe we can connect for a coffee, tea, beer, whisky, etc. I'm about an hour(ish) south of OHSU in the Salem area.
I received a rather interesting old Calabash pipe. It is in need of some repair and as of yet, I am not certain it will be able to be much more than a cool display piece. I've always wanted a good Calabash but this one may be too far gone for a proper smoke.

Ramrodmb - If you're going to carry a knife for a long period of time, that's certainly a worthy knife for long time carry Mark. Very nice.
