Do you know where your towel is?



THE BLACK SUNDAY SOCIETY 
EMERGENCY HEAT PROTOCOL

STEP ONE:      Obtain a medium size towel (for example a dish towel from O'Charley's).

STEP TWO:     Run cold water over the towel to soak it (you may wring it out if you like).

STEP THREE: Place the wet towel in a freezer ( for example the walk-in at O'Chaley's).

STEP FOUR:   Remove the towel when frozen (5-10 minutes) Run a small amount of cool water over the towel to make it pliable.

STEP FIVE:     Place the semi-frozen towel on the back of your neck (Yes your shirt is going to be wet).

STEP SIX:       Repeat as necessary.

Ice Breaker

My very first Kukri, and the start of my knife collection. It was love at first sight. Bought at the Ohio Renaissance Festival about 18 years ago, today it is battered and abused.




I don't recall that I ever really sharpened it. Still it managed to take down a small tree (or was it a large bush) in a friend's back yard.

It's true calling however was breaking ice. I may have used it on the side walk a few times, and I remember using it to carefully remove very thick ice from my car windshield.  

But the main event was at my restaurant job, where I used it to de-ice the tile floor in the walk-in freezer.
It did the job well, but it suffered the price. The edge of the blade has been beaten completely flat.
 Usurped by my Cold Steel LTC Kukri (which gets abused doing yard work) This blade has been retired for years. But it served faithfully and did everything asked of it. As a Kukri should.

Why We Win: on the Travel Channel

Take a famous New York Chef, give him a hit TV show on the Travel Channel, send him and his crew out to the Ozarks, and what happens?

He gets all gun nutty.

First he cleans a squirrel and eats squirrel pot pie and some bow hunt venison.  Then he goes gigging for fish, which turns out to be more dangerous than hunting.  Then there is an unsuccessful raccoon hunt. Duck hunting and duck cooking. And finally, just because that is not enough, some tin cans get shot to end the show.

Part one, Part two, and Part three starts with the duck hunting.




And this is no fluke.  Guns are fairly common on the show. For example
Anthony Bourdain has rode along on a seal hunt and shot full-autos with Ted Nugent

And there are other shows out there that put guns in front of several million eyeballs. Mythbusters being one of the best. As well as Pawn Stars, American Pickers and Auction Hunters (a show I just discovered). Hell even Top Gear on the BBC tried some skeet shooting.

Throw in shows like Top Shot and Sons of Guns and the TV guide must make Sarah Brady a very sad lonely Panda.

Black Sunday

Almost ran out the clock.

Had dinner with my dad.  Asked our server if he liked Sunday's.
He gave me the right answer and very quickly. Made me smile (an evil knowing smile).
