Sorry Boys – It’s Beans Again!
Okay! Let’s set the scene! The sun is just peaking over the east horizon. There’s a smell of burnt bacon in the air and a ravenous mob of coyotes have decimated the egg box! Fortunately, for the newly hired hash-slinger, there’s yesterday’s beans and a pot of weak coffee are still on the menu. Unfortunately,…

First, let me apologize for my kitchen table photo. Even with the poor lighting he looks pretty good. I finished up the coffee pot and bean pot early this morning and wanted to get the remaining videos listed on the Blog. I’m sorry they’re so late but we’ve been covered up with other things and…
