Cowboy Coffee! Yes I said it. Cowboy coffee is when you use that speckled blue enamel coated metal coffee pot with no screen or basket in it that you see in the camping section of your favorite store that has that sort of thing. You have to be out on the prairie or deep in the forest by the river, or mountains,miles away from anyone else but your camp on a crisp sunny morning. You boil the coffee (freshly ground, manually, on the spot) with clean water for about ten minutes on the hook over a wood fire. Not a hard boil , a slow loping boil. Take it off the fire, then you pour a small stream of cold water around the edge to knock all the grounds to the bottom of the pot. Pour it high to watch the steam! Mmmmmm

 My Harley is getting closer and closer to getting the final assembly. I've just about got all the parts I need. As soon as I fire that baby up, then will be time to think about getting that boat! I've decided for a live aboard a sailboat would be too narrow and small inside. I'll be going for a motorized cabin cruiser. More to come!...

 An awesome sunny day here in B-Town. I was reflecting on the fact that in just over three years from now I will have been tattooing professionally for 50 years! Who knew it would pass by so quickly.
