Yup, morning Ray, Tom and the rest of the Dogs. And I also pray you all are doing better Ray.

A cold, rainy, and windy day here is keeping us all inside, aside from the dogs' potty breaks. I just finished a crude blade guard for one of my hatchets, good use of scrap leather.

A good always remember, not just for now, PSA from the 2A community.

Evening Yard!

Getting things ready to go visit my Dad this weekend. Not looking forward to traveling through Vegas this weekend with the current climate. But he only turns 80 once.

On another note. The new Swamprat Cowboy knife looks pretty good as a user blade.

It's called the "Saddle Tramp", and does indeed look very useful.

I heard someone claim it reminded him of the VEX.

Good morning Yard. We have a "London fog" going on right now and the dogs are laying low again so I'm going to get a little extra shuteye.

OK OK OK. Ray’s been tellin me for years how to make coffee. I THOUGHT I was doin it right. I WAS NOT

Oh I had the water part down, but it appears when I originally started I measured wrong and didn’t realize it.

Apparently I had been using almost 35gr of UNGROUND BEANS , and just dumping it all (after grinding) in and adding my 20oz of water. THAT’S why my coffee tasted kinda acidic (?).

After ordering some “Hopefully” good beans from a small coffee house I did some more research. I NOW, for the last 2 days been using my standard 20oz of water (minimum amount I can make in my French Press) but NOW I’m using 25-25.5 grams of coffee AFTER grinding. It tastes much better. And this is with my normal Dunkin medium roast. I’m looking forward to trying (when it gets here supposedly Wednesday) Blackout Coffee’s 1776 Dark roast.

I’ll probably owe Ray ANOTHER apology dang it.

Ray has much wisdom young grasshopper.

I received my Busse Demon Seed knife today and it is SWEET !!!
