It's just crazy enough to work

Today is bacon-making day. Calloo Callay.

Our pork belly has been curing for a week, and now's the day of truth. I will attempt to smoke the bacon in the grill, something I've never tried. First, the belly gets his little pop-out bellybutton.



Wait, is that a curl of smoke from under the lid, coming from those hickory chips?



( Why yes it is. )

Just checked E*TRADE's estimate of my dividends, etc. It's like I have an average worker from Kyrgyzstan working just for me. If I lived in Kyrgyzstan, I could retire.






If I climb the ladder to Greece or Mexico, you may never see me again.
