Al, forget work for the day and spend some quality time with your family, and have some good food and good drink. Happy Birthday my friend!!!

Reporting back on the Father's bacon. I ordered the hickory smoked and the smoke aroma is very strong but not overpowering when eating it. It has a wonderful smoky flavour. It is however way too salty for both of us. When eating it alone with eggs the salt was overpowering. However, in a bacon sarnie, the salt is offset by the HP sauce and it was quite enjoyable. We plan to soak the bacon prior to frying the next time we want to eat it solo to remove some of the excess salt. Overall, good bacon, just be prepared for the salt if that is not your thing.

Had an excellent hot pastrami at Tribes Ale House.

Happy Birthday youngster!!

Now I'm really sad I couldn't make it to Tampa. Happy Birthday Fitz. Enjoy your day. Anytime you want to return to Chicago let me know.

Cool.

^^^ Actually, sardines was due to auto-correct. I meant bacon sarnies.

I'll report on the Father's after we get it this week. We'll be doing a breakfast for dinner night when it arrives, and probably bacon sarnies for the first F1 race next weekend.

Just ordered 4 pounds of hickory smoked bacon from Father's in Kentucky.

Debbie will most likely be selling her Gen 1 John. Let me know if you're interested.

My bar will need to be much more fully stocked before I can get the game ready.

Got the new art framed and hung:

Still fighting some kind of bronchial illness. Can't seem to shake this. Mostly what I've done for 3 days is sleep. Urggghhh.

Happy Birthday Nate!

Happy Birthday Sir!!

Well, it's now Physician heal thyself as I now have a fucker of a chest cold bordering on bronchitis.

That's a sin.

Nicely done!

Happy Birthday Naaman!!

And I'm pretty sure that if you find work in the chemistry or biology fields, you'll be allowed to use calculators....

Welcome to the world Myles! You have an excellent Dad and I think you've got a good start on this thing called life. And congrats to your wife Ryan - she did all the work.

Happy Birthday Dan! Have an awesome day.

Just bumping this as we're about a month from the start of the F1 season and after the little get together we had up here with Al I'm looking forward to hanging with you people again. Still looking good for November Marc?

Get better Mikey. The Scotch will start piling up if you're sick.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse back together. Caution - the band themselves don't appear but a boatload of cool gear does. http://www.neilyoung...horsevideo.html
