I love the Kamado Joe. I had a Big Green Egg for a few years, but I gave it to my Son In Law and got a KJ. My son has a BGE and I got him a KJ as well.

Had a neighbor that was a farrier. He would use pre bought shoes butvwould twerk them a bit for a specific horse., He also made a few shoes from scratch like for some of the big boys,, like clydesdales, Belgians.
He also fooled around with smithing and glass blowing in his forge shop.
Used to go over and play assistant just so I could watch him work. Some of the things he could do with a little heat, sweat, and patience was amazing.
Bigfoots are restless and back in the area lately.
A lot of tree knocking going on at night lately. I have heard it myself.
Fellow at church saw one but it ran away before he could get his phone out to take a pick.
The Big Foot hunters will be rolling in any day now.
ODNR has been driving around a lot for it not being a hunting season.
People just need to leave them alone. They leave us alone. Big foots set the balance of the forests back right when they come thru.

the Wife's Dad's Uncle was an old school type Black smith.
he worked on the Ute reservation in eastern Utah clear up till about WW-2.
I have a couple of things he made and I believe 2 of the tools he used for a few things, and a couple of things the wife's Grandfather used.
I don't think most people would look twice at them, and I pretty much just keep them around because I know what they were used for and how to use them, even though I probably never will.
any way one of the things He made back in the day, was a snatch type chain for the wife's grampa.
it's kind of something a bit different, with chain links that are 3 different sizes, a slightly oblong shaped ring, and a hook with a quick tweak on the end of it.
the smaller links look far too small, but I've used that chain to drag trucks, tree trunks, and other stuff out of places you'd never think it capable of.

California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
The guy mentioned Auburn and the adjacent Muckleshoot Indian Reservation. When I was five, my parents relocated to Auburn (they were native to Algona and Puyallup). It was a quaint and quiet burg, then, with a population of less than 10,000. One of my fellow classmates was a Muckelshoot named Bear Starr.
Seven years later we relocated back to the Central Coast.

You can't be a farrier and not be a bit of a blacksmith.
I never did get good at it, but would trim my horse's hooves and re-shoe them between farrier visits. Ginger, my little Arab mare never needed shoes always ran her barefoot. She had perfect legs and soft hooves, so would never get long in the toe. Might have to hit her with a hoof rasp once or twice a year and do a light trim of the frog, but that was pretty much it.

Going back to tongue. Never had it until I was in my 30s. Had a tongue sandwich in a top notch Jewish deli; was hooked from then on.

Watched the video. I spend 18 years cleaning up Meth Labs for the Washington State Patrol raid team. What you are seeing is paths the meth maggots used to dump their lab waste. Anything else is make believe .
Auburn and Buckley were the capitols of Bevis and Butthead drug labs in the last 20 years.

In a perfect world, (okay, in my perfect world), drug labs would be targeted for drone strikes.
