No clue. I sincerely doubt the build has seen much outside of a few drives and some shows. 700 miles on the build and I really need to do some more work on the Holley Sniper EFI system...WIP. HS

I have been wanting a MOPAR B-body restomod for some time. Thought I would buy a partly built project or the like and built to suit. Couldn't pass up this 1969 Road Runner that was on auction and local. The wheels could use some work, but such is life... Not much of a show car guy so I need to put some miles on her... HS

I think that is the way to go after the joys of my approach...LOL HS

Tank. German movie that's been dubbed over and where the captions don't match the voice over....dizzying. Interesting movie overall. HS

Kept it simple this year. Turned out pretty good...I shorted the cooking time, but I'd pull it off a few minutes earlier for a bit more rare goodness. Wifey made some great sides. I need a sugar detox.... HS

Quite a loss. Godspeed, Chris.... 2025 has been a rough one. HS

That's a stunner! Love my chocolate on an oysterflex strap...zero regrets. Enjoy! HS I realized I never posted it....

I'm not ready for a new espresso machine as the Lelit Bianca I bought some years ago is still doing a great job, but I found an announcement from Fellow interesting. I bought a Fellow Aiden I have been enjoying thanks to @luvdunhill , and have been receiving Fellow marketing emails. Here is an early review for the curious. I have to admit it piqued my interest, particularly how quickly it heats up. Looks like it can be bought for $1200 with an early discount and they toss in a credit for coffee beans. https://www.engadget.com/home/kitchen-tech/the-espresso-series-1-is-the-new-crown-jewel-in-fellows-coffee-gadget-lineup-170008473.html HS

We have tickets to Wynton tonight...going with some friends. Looking forward to it. HS

The pressure gauge looks like one I used for fuel pressure on a 2009 Challenger I tracked for years. Love it! HS

@luvdunhill in case you find this of use. It is a summary of brew profiles by brand / specific coffee that I found on reddit. If you click on one of the coffees it takes you to a Fellow site where you can use your camera over the scan code and it will populate the brew profile on your Fellow Aiden app directly. Up to you whether you want to save, alter or discard. Pretty nifty as I was able to find several of the coffees I purchase from Intelligensia and Onyx. https://brewshare.coffee Here is the reddit post in case you want more details HS

Good info...thank you! Funny aside: I had another box of Chemex filters. It looks like I had a bad batch....used one from the new box and coffee was drama free.... Looks like I needed an excuse for a new toy HS

Ordered an Aiden and a couple of different sized filters. I tend to make coffee for myself and occasionally the lady that helps us with the house, unless we have a gathering. I think the Aiden will be well suited to my needs and counter space...it will displace the Chemex and sit next to my Niche Zero. Any filters that have worked well for you, luvdunhill? Thanks! Sam

I have owned my Chemex a long while. The quality of the filters finally has me considering other options...they just don't drain like they did years ago and I'm tired of messing with it. I'm considering a couple of drip machines. We have relatively low counters in our old house so a Technivorm, as an example, isn't a good option. Looking at the Wilfa Performance and the Ration Six Series 2. Any thoughts or recommendations before I jump in? Thanks... HS

We are watching this also. Good stuff, and it has a way of bringing up a lot of feels for the viewer (good and not so pleasant) IMO. HS

Thank you kindly, Voltron! Hard to believe we met in 1995... Sam

Anniversary dinner at Barbacana in Houston. Our first time and we were very impressed with the service, food and drink. Wagyu carpaccio, a vegetarian dish that was a riff on ramen, pork collar and a few desserts. The Korn, which was sweet and savory was a culinary gem IMHO (brittle on top one). HS

Looks right up there with ouzo....woof HS

The Ring Brothers going up market.... HS

That was fun. I was belly laughing at one point. HS

I bought a party pack of Feather blades years ago that will likely see me into the ground...ridiculous number of blades. Love my Feather safety razor...a lot. The quality and general weight of it is satisfying and suits me...my fine motor skills are questionable...LOL. HS

That sounds delightful. I've only made the traditional spaniard ones with the toasted almonds in the center. HS

Beautiful fare! What did you stuff the dates with, Grahame? HS

Can't say I have ever seen a Trans Am that sexy.....woof! HS

We went to Musaafer in the Galleria (Indian). It had been a few years and I have to say they have upped their game which was not too shabby previously. We went the tasting menu route and had to take the main dishes to go we got so full....first world problems. Here are a few of the dishes. HS
