Holy shit it's about time I got these photos up! Come on, that shit is clever. The talismans of our past, We'll get a post together later detailing their origins. Where I got my first pipe, and where we used to get our cigars.  We were not able to make a visit this time around. The picture is a bit blurry because it was dark out and I had my flash off.

Finally Nice Out

Well I wasn't the first, but I was one of the early ones. To mow my lawn this year that is. It's finally nice out. Managed some yard work today and just sat out and enjoyed the lovely weather. Got my Menards card today too. Was expecting more of a credit card looking thing. This is more of a cross between a gift card and a Costco membership card. Dinner with the brother and folks later today, should be a fine time. Found some new podcasting stuff, hope to be trying it out soon. With luck I'll be able to record something on the Carbondale trip. Beer in hand, Blog online Mikey
