Mid-coast, southern coast; yeah, there are some similarities, even to the NH coast.Some of those scenes looks like Kittery, Maine.
I had Mexican food in Mexico - and I was pretty surprised how different it was from what I had always thought of as "Mexican" - more complexity, more ingredients that I'd not thought about even being in Mexican food.....and I'm pretty sure it would be difficult to define "Mexican" food, because from the Yucatan to Zacatecas, there are all kinds of regional variance....still, I remember eating very well.I haven't had too much of the "real" Mexican food, worked in Cali for a year once and the only Mexican you could get was more west coast style.. lot more veggies and grilling than Tex-Mex.. I love home made Mexican food either style.. In high school I had a lot of Hispanic friends and loved the home made menudo, tripas, barbacoa.. et al. For me the beans and tortillas tell the tale though.. A giant pot of charro or borracho beans and some fresh corn tortillas is where it's at.
Congrats, and good feather sticks. :thumbup:
Congrats! I need to get me an 11!

Willow is the best. Find a pond or creek bank with some willows growing around it and you're in business.
Maple sapling would be my second choice.
Thats what mine is. Its very light and I have had it 5 years now I think. It was growing in the fence when I still lived in town.
Not weird, especially since you already know it means money back. Me? I'm really NOT looking forward to seeing how much MORE money we'll owe.Is it weird that I'm mildly excited that I got my W2 so I can do my taxes? I'm only excited because it's really not hard and I should get about a $1,000 return.

Isn't it great to get new steel? Great job in the challenge. Use that knife with pride.
For the record you are a lot cooler than I was when I was your age. I am glad to see that the youth of America isn't loosing their love for the outdoors entirely.
Be safe.

Just logged in for the first time since early afternoon. The comments are all out of place and I'm bombarded with advertising banners. What a creul joke to play on someone who's been drinking. The best I can tell is Spark is toying with some new ideas? .........oh well! As long as it don't kill my buzz I guess..........
In other news. I just came in from the shop. Had about 3 hours of work I needed to do on my lathe. My back hurts like hell now. Its just at the right height that I barely have to bend. But over time, that position is hell. I think I need to jack my lathe up and pour about a 9in. high concrete pad underneth it. Just one more thing I don't have the time and money for. Any suggestions?
