^ "And remember, it’s just a story."
My life is a story unto itself.
When I show up at Saint Peter's it's gonna be a while, while Peter and I have a few brews and cigars and shoot the breeze about steaks, taxi rides, haircuts, amplifiers and how to make friends... inside the gate, of course.
Peter: "So, Tony, did you really say that to Nelson when you first met him?"
Yours Truly:" Yeah, well, it seemed like the thing to do. His writings are so first person, it felt like I knew him already".
P: "You really need to learn how to introduce yourself to people... slowly... here, have another Lagunitas IPA... and thank for bringin up those 1990 Partagas Perfectos"
YT: " No problem, you're welcome, my wife has no clue what was in the humidors any.... yumm, good brew!"
P: "We brought up your Macho SIT and the A2s, Linn with the P3 and Maggies... did you bring a preamp?"
YT: "I think so... I hope so.... is Señor ZM, The Aleksander, around?"
P: "Not for a thousand years... he's in Purgatory for naming that amp a Sissy.. imagine that!"
YT: "Yeah, whenever I showed that amp to my friends I told them it was a FW SIT-3 clone... Sissy, indeed! Oh, did Nelson bring up his stash of SITs?"
The good thing about Heaven is that you can drink a six pack of Lagunitas IPA ( 9% ) and not get drunk nor have a hangover the next morning so you can have a nice prime steak cut just for you... with some cage free eggs, over easy, unbroken.
Did you know that in Heaven all food is organic? You know.. "carbon based"... no silica based eggs for me...
Don't worry if you're stuck behind me in line waiting to get in for what seems like ages... you're not going to Hell, nor Purgatory... hopefully Peter won't be too tipsy when your turn comes.
"Huh.. Cal... what's this about stories?"

In my business, for the most part, stories refer to floors of a building.
Sometimes though I will sneak one in here and there at diyAudio.

Taggart: Tony:
Ditto.
Hedley Lamar:
" 'Ditto'? 'Ditto', you provincial putz"

Just getting in at the ground floor...

Lol, I suspect Tony and I were cut from the same cloth. Maybe a generation apart, though.
No dinner pics, my sweetie made a nice shrimp scampi and Caesar salad for me tonight.
Mixed up 420+ grams of a levain tonight. Unfortunately I did it after I cracked open my second Lagunitas after work beer, but before dinner. I needed 200gr of levain, so I mixed 200gr flour and 200gr water plus 20gr starter. 200+200=400 🤦♂️
Oh well, I guess I'm making 4 loaves of bread. I have flavors I want to experiment with anyway. Expect some new, fun, colorful bread pics in the coming days!
Thats a 16" mixing bowl for scale.

That makes you younger, 'cause a generation older than Tony means you're already dead.
Ooh, I'ma gonna pay that one.
Incoming! Duck!
Big rain storm hitting here tonight, going to last several days. Perfect weather for pozole and home made blue corn tortillas.
Bread dough is still bulk fermenting, the cold, slow rise will only develop the flavor even more. I'm not expecting to bake it until Saturday afternoon at the earliest, maybe Sunday.

Fished for them a lot, but caught mostly smoothhounds, shovelnose guitar fish, leopards, mako, and blues. Never hooked a dogfish in Monterey.
Oh, a little teaser pic of my current bread experiment.
Diablo bread. Notice the color ;-)
Keeping my fingers crossed it works out!

@Fast14riot... never had Dogfish IPA. I've been drinking High Altitude Malbecs lately. Hi Times Liquors in Costa Mesa brought a bunch, for under 12 bucks a bottle. Yum.
@Cal Weldon
I've been there... many times.

There's a motel in Seattle, Washington, called the Edgewater Inn . . . The Edgewater Inn is built out on a pier . . . so that means that when you look out your window you don't see any dirt, it's . . . got a bay or something out in your backyard
Mud Sh-sh-shark
And to make it even more interesting, in the lobby of the aforementioned motel there's a bait and tackle shop where the residents can go down and, whenever they want to, rent a fishing pole and some preserved minnows and schlep back up to their rooms, open the window, stick their little pole outside and within a few minutes actually catch a fish of some sort that they can bring into their motel room and do whatever they want with it, you know what I mean?

I have done dogfish only a handful of times in my life and yes we caught them.
The last time I did one would be at least 30 years ago.
The amount of work outweighs the return an your investment.
They taste a lot better when your really hungry.

Just went and peaked at it. Its been bulk fermenting just about 27 hours now, is at 130% rise. It will get shaped and into baskets for proofing. I can proof it as little as 2-4 hours or I can do a cold retard for another 18-24 hours. I find that after about 3 days it loses its structure a bit.
