No kiddin. I'll be hittin the big 40 Feb. 1st. Seems like I was 30 last year.
Hey WW, your 30th is 4 days after mine!
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.
These are my grandfathers, and my wife's grandfathers carry knives. I am very proud/honored to have these knives in my possession.

Makes sense to me, too. Make it so, Tiberius! Take this from from the guy who just had back surgery...if your back is trying to tell you to work smarter...listen to it!Vik's idea makes sense to me.
I wasn't trying to instigate anything. I was more saying not Taco Bell and the fast food "Americanized" places. The places when you walk in everyone is speaking Spanish and the place looks like it hasn't really been cleaned in about 8 years.Saying you like "real Mexican food" is kinda like saying you like "real American food".
There are almost as many varieties of Mexican foods as there are states in Mexico. The coastal area dishes tend to be heavy on seafood dishes, while the interior states lean more towards beef, sheep, goat or "mystery" meat as the dog tacos show.
Down in the Yucatan rain forest, I was also exposed to grilled Basilisk lizard, BBQd bat and Fer-de-Lance stew. Some are VERY spicy and some are so bland as to be down right "English". You think chicken wings are thin on meat, try bat wings. It takes about 20 bats to make a mouthful, unless it's one of the giant fruit bats (forget the scientific name). Those suckers are about the size of large doves, nearly 2 pounds.
Haha, I hear that. My butt is broke. Kathy and I are going to go to southern Illinois next week, for our anniversary though. We always save money during the year for that. No matter how broke we are, we never tap into that money. It's not very much anywhos. We usually go somewhere close, within a 2-6 hour drive. Have had the cabin booked for some time now, so the money will just be for gas and food. Looking forward to getting out again. We were gonna try to hit a few areas we haven't been to yet, such as Stone Face, One Horse Gap, and the Bell Smith Springs Recreation area. Can't wait to hit the trail again. Forecasted weather around the 40° mark, so not bad.Of course, if I had the cash, I would not have provided that info....![]()

Seems like a decent cup could be had in the Seattle area. My coffee at breakfast was barely warm...disappointing when it's -10F outside.
