Godspeed, Mr. Frank Fritz (American Pickers)... https://www.hemmings.com/stories/american-pickers-star-frank-fritz-dies-at-age-60/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=EDaily&utm_campaign=2024-10-02&uemlid=5a40c51c3d4254d5f58319200ca2ac8bb44b94437291b38bd1d989d5554293b0 HS

A few plates from a New Mexico golf trip with friends.... HS

The clone General Lee from Dukes of Hazard fame that was jumped... If one looks at the interior it becomes immediately clear the shell is a Dodge Charger, but not much else. It looks to be a Ford Crown Victoria's bones...including the floor pan that is rusted straight through... HS

Has anyone had any experience with he Fellow Aiden Precision coffee maker? https://fellowproducts.com/products/aiden-precision-coffee-maker I have to admit that I am curious. Love my Chemex but this would be an nice addition if it is a solid machine that makes great coffee. HS

Oh my... HS

Godspeed, Sergio... HS

I had the pleasure of driving this little gem in Colorado earlier this week. What a treat! HS

A bowl of tonkatsu from one of my favorite ramen joints here, Tamashi... HS

That's a beautiful machine. HS

AWD is a game changer. Make a pig fly and turn... HS

Shame a stick isn't an option. For the money, I would take an Audi RS 6 Avant over the M5 wagon despite higher power numbers with the plug-in electric motor helping. Nice to see the wagon head stateside all the same. HS

I was perusing one of the digital rags in my inbox and came across this gem in one of the articles. I very much like the dial and the size. HS

The better half wanted fish and why would I get in the way? Redfish on the half shell. My favorite fish dish in town is this one…. HS

Godspeed, Chi Chi Rodriguez. May all your putts fall for you.... HS

You are spot on, Topedo, with all your points. I speak very mediocre Spanish at best. Born in Miami, mother from Havana but originally her side of the family came from Oviedo in Asturias. Spain is AMAZING! HS

lol…you might be correct! The consume on the side for dipping birria style tacos became very popular here a few years back. My favorite in town is Doña Lena….legitimate! HS

A Vietnamese play on birria tacos...these are "pho" style. (had to edit...spellcheck got the better of me) Really could have used a hot sauce like sriracha on the side for some kick, but I did like the dish conceptually. From the Blind Goat here in Houston. Overrated IMHO despite all the foodie pundits... HS

Well, it had to be done. Udon at Ishin...so good. They do a lot of fusion style Udon and this one is brisket and.....ginger. I only need so much ginger in my life so I ask for it on the side. If in Houston, Ishin Udon and the Tan Tan bowl there is amazing if you like spicy and are good with pork. HS

I need some Asian in my life after seeing those dumplings...yummy chow! I just opened myself up for a doozy...LOL. It's a bit of a poop show here in that there's construction in Asia Town (often referred to as China Town but it's grown well beyond that). Just down the road from me but horrific traffic...I need to hit the back roads for some spicy Udon or some Ramen... Grahame has yet again left me peckish... HS

I've got a few AWD vehicles outside of an old Land Cruiser...I'm a fan. One is a stick car and the other two overpowered SUV's. Love it. HS

The motor is impressive. A lot of things there are. I know this would have added A LOT of complexity, but....AWD. Most likely would have been a hybrid setup but boy oh boy the probability of putting all that mojo to work at the tire would have been something. Sounds like a fun next model... HS

Huge loss! Godspeed, John... HS

Soooooo envious!!! That looks AMAZING, Grahame! I might need to forage today... HS

Only thing better IMHO would be some clotted cream....yum! They look beautiful, Grahame. HS

Yummy! HS
