    Leather Police Jackets

    There were police and "alphabet soup" agents from every agency that you can imagine. From very small, local townships, community colleges, park rangers, to federal level. Those were the motorcycles for just one motorcade. There were dozens of motorcades. All of the foreign dignitaries also...

    Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) discussion

    Quite a few base layer options. I've tried the ECWCS. I prefer the silk found in the civilian market.

    Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) discussion

    Too bad for me that I'm physically larger than my Dad. Other people in the family will get a lot of good stuff from him. Not me. Once, I took a M-65 field coat liner to a tailor, and had it shortened. I could have done it myself, but at that point in time, I did not own a sewing machine...

    Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) discussion

    An absolute value when you can buy them for around $20 from Amazon or Costco. I have several. Very much worth the money. For motorcycle rides I like Eddie Bauer goose down hoodies. They are lightweight and warm. My dad has an old Eddie Bauer leather jacket, which they call an "aviator...

    Experimenting on foods.

    My next ex thinks I'm a barbarian. It's in my genetics. Part of my DNA. Savage. Evolution skipped my ethnic lineage. I'm still cooking on cast iron. We still eat with two sticks. Our meat is rare. Our eggs are rare. This is why I do not buy sandwiches. I make my own, to my liking. With my...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    She's from the MidWest. Her parents were in town. Very religious people. Very political people. People for whom there is no separation of church and state. Seafood was "exotic". Fish sticks from the frozen aisle. That's what she bought. I'm looking at it. The box says, "minced fish"...

    November. My first tomato harvest. With sardines from Costco.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

    This pair is over a decade old. Still in regular rotation. I wear them. 1000 Mile Montgomery. A model which isn't made anymore.

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    Unfortunately, some of those cost cutting measures are across the board. Many brands are doing it. Some of those cost savings are not so good. Some are debatable. A lot of higher priced shoes are now using synthetic shoe lasting boards to replace leather insoles. Not a good thing. They...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

    I am impressed. These are good boots if you don't mind the Ram trucks logo and tag which declares that it is officially licensed by Fiat Chrysler. In my world, nobody will see or notice that logo. Leather lined with a half sock liner. Gusseted tongue. Horween leather. And an additional $30...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    Here in Chinatown, my default protein is Tri Tip. 500 degree Fahrenheit oven. 5 minutes per pound. Then turn the oven off. Works for every cut of beef.

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    Another pair with bad leather, damaged welts and broken stitches. Keep it and wear it until it falls apart? Or send it back?

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    Weston Kay is entertaining. Just pay attention to what is really going on. He could sing the praises of shoes which he makes money on. Synthetic parts such as foam and rubber could be garbage on one shoe, and built for comfort and cost savings on another shoe. Remember that on some shoes...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    The division of the haves and have nots. In developing countries, protein is often of lesser grade. Like eating an old hen which is no longer capable of laying eggs. Or a water buffalo which falls dead. In more privileged conditions, such as here in The USA, we raise cattle strictly for...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    In Asian cultures, eggs are steamed.

    In her culture, they eat water buffalo. It makes sense. When the water buffalo finally drops from old age and being overworked...... they eat it. I guess if you use enough spices, and boil it long enough, you won't notice that it's not very good. Beef cattle is a foreign concept to her...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    There was a boy being raised by a single mother. They moved around a lot. He had a hard time fitting in and making friends. This older man enters his life. He begins to spend more and more of his time with this older gentleman. The man is giving him clothes to wear. Taking him for long...
