Elijah Craig 12yr and Woodford Reserve are two of my recent favorites. For more inexpensive bourbon you can't beat Evan Williams black label and Ezra Brooks.

My buddy and I have developed quite the jerky recipe. It works for beef or venison, so long as you cut your meat ~ 1/4" thick. Basically it is 1/3 soy sauce, 2/3 worchesterschire sauce, a good bit of liquid smoke, enough onion powder to cover the surface of the marinade in a bowl, enough garlic powder to cover the surface, a good couple pinches of brown sugar, and most importantly, a sh!t ton of black pepper. In reality all these ingredients can be altered to taste or depending on how much meat you have. Sometimes we like to thrown in some chipotle sauce or some crushed red pepper.

My girlfriend has recently taken up gardening. I don't know much about it, just what she has briefly told me, but I know she is doing the "square foot gardening" variety. I built her a garden box 2 feet wide, 3 feet long, and 1 foot deep recently which we have stained and coated with polyurethane. She has been growing many sprouts indoors, herbs, tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries, I'm sure I'm missing some. She has also bought seedlings of a few vegetables from local nurseries, broccoli and asparagus I think. Anyway, now that the weather is warming up she intends to move them outdoors into the box I built for her. Anyway, I hope it all works out because it would be pretty sweet to have all these fresh veggies to eat for the summer. Now I gotta convince her to grow hops!!!

Big Brother is strong in this one. I should probably take note.

My girlfriend is getting a masters in museum studies. I root for her.

legalize dope.

I just got a pair of prescription polarized sunglasses from American Optical. They will be arriving via UPS tomorrow and I will let you know how they are then, but I can say that based on my non-prescription pair of the same glasses that I have had for a year or two, I think I am going to be pleased.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Haha thank's mang. I wish I kept track of my crappies but that is probably one of my personal besteses.

I most certainly do have a favorite fishing hat. In fact, it is the only hat I will wear while fishing. It is a St. Croix hat I got when I was probably 16? years old? I have had it for a loooong time.... most of the embroidery on it used to be a dark, rich navy blue color but now it has faded to a pale, sun-bleached purple color from years and years of sun exposure. Edit: I have been searching for pictures for quite a long time (I got distracted and nostalgic looking at all these old pictures) and I have determined that I got this hat in 2007. Here is a picture of me in my St. Croix hat in March 2008 And here is (sadly) the most recent picture I can find at the moment (though I'm sure other, more recent, pictures exist), May 2013 I think me and that hat have grown quite a bit in these past years.

LBH popped in a couple days ago. I think he's busy growing for the medical marijuana industry and recently got married and bought a house. I remember 5BL but haven't seen him around in a looong time.

You need to delete System32 ASAP. Nah MBAM should fix you up.

Boy you can really tell it's winter in here, huh

Well that was a refreshingly light LiveLeak video
