So I got a knock at my door yesterday evening...I rarely have people coming to my door out here...open the door and it was my best friend I grew up with....I was shocked to see him out and about and looking normal ....He's the guy who was ran over on his GSXR by a drunk driver....totally ruined the right side of his body....he was on leave from the Air Force at the time....I actually took care of him and he lived with us for a long time.....he needed help doing everything...but we've been boys since 1st grade and his families little ranch is next to mine.....pure trouble our whole lives....but he ended up getting addicted to pain killers...long story short once the pills were gone he started stealing from me and using....sad part is, his settlement from the accident was enough for the rest of his life.....but it all disappeared....I tried to get him in a methadone clinic ....he went for 3 days and quit...so he ended up back on his parents ranch living in a trailor outside...stealing from fucking everyone.....I would still go see him every now and then...but it got to the point where he was tweakin super hard ......so he showed up and I could tell he was doing better immediately....he gained some weight and was clean and acting totally normal....back to himself...we shot the shit for a few hours and I guess his sister literally kidnapped his ass and helped him through it ....took almost 2 years....so he's clean off all drugs and has a little income....he built a little studio at his parents ranch down the street ....only thing he does now is smoke weed ...a lot of weed lol...I was stoked to see him doing good again....always nice to see people come back from such a serious case of addiction...

Thought he was a goner CN....I've lost several friends to addiction...I honestly didn't think there was any hope for him... I'm glad he beat the addiction the way he did....if he could do it anyone can...he was the worst addict I knew personally...and it was everything CN...the last time I saw him before yesterday he was so high on meth...he thought I was coming to arrest him and set his trailer on fire...I just stopped going by after that one.....he also suffers from a disease that effects the joints in his hands....his uncle and grandpa both had it....he was telling me that's why he would get loaded...basically to cover up his depression...so definitely Kudos to him for overcoming all of that.....he absolutely loved your handy work BTW...((who doesn't)) lol.


Almost time to meet and have a drink BTW.

Oh true. I'm watching the eclipse and sensing that weird huge shadow just north of us. Haven't seen one like this since '91 in Palo Alro.

I went food shopping. I hate food shopping, well any shopping. It's like people act as rude and inconsiderate as possible in supermarkets. And how is it people have so much difficulty ordering meat at the deli counter? You've been standing there, waiting, for 10 minutes, you should know what the fuck you want by now! This one old hag had the guy cut a 4" chunk off the end of some capicola, then had him trim all the outer fat off. They got into an argument because she didn't want to pay for the fat, the guy was telling her it's part of the cut and she's paying for it, manager ended up coming out and told her it doesn't work that way and she had to pay for it all, so she got pissed and left without it. I don't get people

I'm gonna go kill grass now.

She obviously isn't a connoisseur of Italian salumi, that fat is sublime. Imagine if it had been lardo di Colonnata and she wanted it trimmed

My thoughts exactly. I asked about the fat they cut off but it was already in the trash.

That stuff looks delicious.

Lardo is a fucking treat: Cured with salt, rosemary and other herbs. Sliced thin and wrapped around figs or pear slices, served with large nuts; or you can cook with it. My grandfather made it, since it was illegal to import from Italy

I have a small fig tree out front that's full of fruit. I was going to wrap them in prosciutto and bake them for my grandfather for his birthday, never tried it, something I read about. I wonder if I can find that stuff. Honestly, if the majority of the figs actually make it back to the house I'll be surprised, they're like crack to me.

If anyone out there hasn't tried a fresh fig, go get some, they should be in season. Fucking tree candy.

Oh yes, yes indeed. Figs are wonderful, I have 2 trees (Mission and Brown Turkey) and planted another Mission last month. Exert self control when you make them, they don't need to be baked; I usually eat 25% of the batch before they go in the oven lol
