Some of those scenes looks like Kittery, Maine.
Mid-coast, southern coast; yeah, there are some similarities, even to the NH coast.
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.
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.

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.

All of a sudden, I'm seeing pop-up ads in this thread. Anyone else having this experience?

Aggravating . . . hope it's not permanent . . . ?? :confused:

:thumbdn:

Edit . . . Now I see Spark's post about testing banner ads from 1/7 through 1/13. Guess I can put up with it for a week . . . :grumpy:

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.

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.

You should think about adjusting your withholding so you don't get quite so much back. I try to get close, but do err on the side of refund vs owing.
 
Double tap.

Forum seems a bit snarky today when trying to post.

Indeed it does, especially since it's free! If I ever make it to a gathering I need someone to show me how to make a bow drill fire, I've tried 8x and haven't got it.

Thanks for all the kind words!

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?

I liked your first comment - before you edited out the snark in favor of self deprecation.
TMH - how about just jacking it up and putting 8" concrete blocks under it? Surely the weight of that thing will hold down whatever's underneath it as long as what's underneath it is strong enough. How about some of those pre-cast concrete footings? Are you sure you're lubricated enough for some hillbilly engineering? What about some of those risers you can buy for your bed that give your wife more space to store sh...tuff underneath...yeah, those should work!
