I’ve always wanted to cook wild salmon over a charcoal grill on a cedar plank. Rubbed with salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil. It was one of the most amazing things ever. Burgers will need to move over just a little this summer…

I’m going to wait 30 more minutes to take care of the snow on the driveway, based on my weather research of the evening
So I conducted an eggs-periment this morning for breakfast. What is the difference between a regular grocery market egg and a organic/cage-free egg? Price is certainly one thing. But taste? Kind of. If you blind tested me, I may not know which is which. But Kristin and I both could tell that the organic egg had a richer golden color. I can’t prove that it was because of being organic. Maybe something else in the chickens diet caused the deeper color. I did notice (and from my past experience) that regular eggs have a more fragile shell when you break them. Thin and brittle. Not so with the organic eggs. I would say that MAYBE taste and texture was a little better with the organic egg. But best yet - it should have higher nutritional value and omega 3’s and no hormones and antibiotics. Those will probably get us some day. Anyways, thought someone would find this interesting. Note that a egg may be organic, but not cage-free. I pictured my cage-free chicken roaming a field outside the barn in the sunshine which made me feel good. I bet it was a healthy and happy chicken at one time..
Off to winter storage!
Yep, Apple did screw this one up with the new maps. It finds Cabela’s just fine (red dot). But for the directions it first wants me to take the ferry across Lake Michigan…and then drive all the way back! A once 30 minute trip is now 6 hours and 261 miles! Nice!!
Just changed oil and air filter on lawn mower and gave the blade a good sharpening with the new file on the workbench. Yes..this is what gets me going. Side note: I think someday I want to run my own Ace Hardware store.
Arrowed this doe about 7:45 AM. Dropped on the spot. You can see the trees/stand in the background I shot from - about 22 yards. Incredibly happy. Can’t wait to share some venison.
New shaving regimen

The new World of Beer on Brady is simply amazing. Over 500 beers! This photo isn’t even half of them.
To all my brothers out there who spent years making their community and world a better place; and to those who bettered the people around them while bettering themselves - Happy Eagle Scout Day. What a terrific honor. May your leadership continue to change the world in the many years to come.
Picture looking outside Northwestern Mutual today before the storm.
Growing some lunkers in the garden!
More cast iron for the collection. Best pans ever.
