My favorite local musician

This is Al who plays for us a lot of Fourth Fridays. He is from a family of musicians and is multi-skilled. It is a real treat to hear him.

a nice spot at WB

the current hobby

I must have about 25 of these so far.
Same place, but the sky is always different at sunset.

Something new I tried this week was curing salmon. I bought a small whole, wild Alaskan salmon and fileted it the best I could. Then, following a recipe, I covered it with equal parts sugar and kosher salt and a lot of fresh dill. A couple of days later it was preserved and ready for eating. It was not perfect, but it was edible. A little too tasty. I guess the best thing was using some in scrambled eggs. From what I read, it is Norwegian. Probably the men who fished the North Atlantic took it with them on their expeditions.

another outing. going local.

Today a 24 mile drive south to Brunswick Town.
It consists mainly of pretty property close to the river, a welcome center that provides history of the place, some graves, and various remnants of the Revolutionary War. I can check it off my to do list now.

tonight's pic

I am enamored with these sunsets. Tonight I heard one appreciative visitor saying, "We never see the sunset in Ohio."
