It sure is. Not a lick of white meat on the bird, which is great. Though the legs were still much moister ("moister"?) than the breast.



This guy. ~0.115" 1095, which after a thanksgiving ham and christmas turkey now has a nice patina going (pre-meat shot):


Naw, Ray, I don't take pictures when Murph gooses me. That's strictly an offline activity.

Both of these sound really bad.

Awesome looking knife though.
 
Just got these in a few minutes ago. I like the machax more than i thought i would. Its just a cool knife. Havent put her to work yet but she feels like im going to enjoy using and abusing her.

 
Nice haul, WW! I want a machax, but have no trees left on my property.

It's seldom very figured, but it has a wonderful feel. Despite it's burly properties, it's not too bad to work at all.

Woke up this morning to discover that our furnace had broken, and the house was freezing cold. Not really what we needed for our holiday season... However, I googled "furnace not blowing hot air," and discovered that a broken hot surface ignition element is a very common cause for such things. Armed with a picture of said HSI element, I was able to find the part in my furnace, and establish that, indeed, it was broken. Took a trip out to Appliance Factory Outlet, picked up the part, which they randomly gave me for 20% off, and 40 dollars later, got my furnace up and running again. All it took was a regular screwdriver. Thank goodness for the Internet!

I appreciate your discretion.
 
Just a tip for those that like to look to the skies. In the eastern part of the northern hemisphere skies, Jupiter is really nice today. Look towards the gemini constellation. Of course, thats when thr night sky falls over my American friends. At this side of the Atlantic it's a really cool view.

And the intelligence to know generally what to look for as well as the ability to deconstruct and apply said info in the physical realm, then to disassemble and surmise you have the correct information to get the correct part and reassemble......this is sense that is NOT common to 80% of the population. To fix an actual piece of technology? Don't sell yourself short, my friend. It took a LOT more than just a "regular screwdriver".

Couldn't agree more.

And in other news, I saw this on the table and it reminds me of someone, but I can't quite put my finger on who....

 
Merry Christmas all, wife woke up with a Christmas migraine yesterday morning so I played with cars and trucks, trains, and bicycles all day.. Every time i tried to sit down or lay down on the floor my son would start pushing me and say "no sleep daddy! no sleep!" I had a wonderful time with him, he is 3 so this was his first "real" Christmas.. best one I have had in years. Got a new Laplander saw too, guess my wife figured out how to find my river store wish list :) Hope everyone had a great time!

Took the pup to my folks house last night for our family Christmas. Here's a pic of my kids (left and right) my niece in the middle holding the dog. They all ran and played all evening. Came home and all of them pup included slept all through the night.

And y'all thought my nuts were tasty...

A BFC member and fellow Squire sent me a sack of his sweet dark balls for my Xmas pleasure. Yummy!
