Been wearing an American made leather jacket for the last 30ys. Wanted to buy a new jacket, in the Marlon Brando style, like the Bates Highwayman. US1leathers.com is still in business (moved a couple miles down the road). Just received their steerhide 370, and couldn't be happier. 368 on the left, brand new 370 steerhide on the right. Central pix is new 370 after mink oiling.

Extracted 175 pounds of honey last week. So far today I bottled 28 bottles each bottle is 500 mil. They hold 1 pound 6.5-7.5 ounces each. That converts to 637-667 grams. The air bubbles will rise up and out over 24 hours.

Ever spread it on a slice of bread? It crystallizes & makes it crunchy. Then all you gotta do is add a fine layer of peanut butter...maybe even a sliced banana.

I am sitting here in tears just thinking about old friends made long long ago. When I was asked to become the Head COD2 Admin when COD4 took off and many admins moved over to the new game and Rugger knew I wouldn't leave the game I loved I told him that I would do it in spite of my insecurities and hot head. After thinking about it overnight I told @Ruggerxi the only way this would work was if I could add @Blackbart, and @loaderXI as my next in command and @TedsofBeverlyHills, @window @Artimus Prime @PimpedOutPete as Game Admins. Bart and Loader were added to offset my hotheadedness since they were much calmer people and Ted, Window, and Artimus were well respected players who played well but always put the Clan and Gaming fun first. I saw the talent in them all as well as the fun they all brought to every game. I was a very lucky man to make friends with them long before we became the best Admin team and most solid one >XI< ever had. These men were more to me then just gaming friends they became like brothers to me. We are coming up on 20 years of playing COD2 together and keeping it alive as a team of wonderful human beings. I have spent many hours on the phone with Ted, Bart and Loader over the years and they made me a better person and the COD2 servers the best option in the game. I can not express my Gratitude to them all and the other Admins we added later but the thought of first Losing Bart and now the possibility losing Ted "The funniest player ever" in spite of his high ping and connection issues is a hard blow to handle. We are all getting older and many of you know I have had 2 massive heart attacks in the past 18 months so I want to take this time to pray for Ted and hope he kicks out of this or if not is in fact painlessly able to join Johnny Dos, Killa, Macdaddy, Too Cute Sue, Bud , Starfire, Sherm, Boiler don and Black Bart is got a great server set up in some beautiful place in Heaven waiting for the rest of us when it is out time to go be with God. If I haven't told you all just how much I love and respect your all and consider each of you a huge part of my Family and and so many my friends for coming up on 20 years. Please if you read this and don't know these men take the time to say hello and thank you for the work they have put in for over 15 years to keep the first >XI< servers alive so we can remember where we started they are great guys dedicated to the >XI< Family. Also take this situation to remember that life is precious and can be gone in a second so tell those you like and love how you feel. It takes such little time and can mean so much to the person hearing your kind words. Expressing LOVE to another person can do wonders for people dealing with struggles big or small and takes such little effort on our part. I might not be here today without the love that @Ruggerxi and the rest of my team and friends have shown a man who suffers from Anxiety and depression and I am not afraid to admit that they lifted me up many times and keep me from quitting especially when I was under attack by people who quit here like HXTR and Laz felt it was cool to trash me every chance they got. They always said calm down they will go away and you staying here doing what you do will show them who was the weak sack. I challenge you all to tell 10 people you play with and might not be close to you how much you enjoy them and how important they are in our FAMILY. LOVE has amazing healing powers. Thanks for reading this and accepting my challenge, Ron aka Phuckitman/COD Admin

I always eat Peanut butter and honey sandwiches. I also take a half spoon just because it's so great.

Looks delicious! Like to put honey on my morning oatmeal.

Nice work. Bees are life

Jesus Crunch, its not a margarita, youll ruin a perfectly good beer unless its coors light, that one you can water your outside plants with and they probably wont like it either.

Love to a fellow member and to the best restaurant I heard of. When we meat again I hope to see you cooking out because your ad said it best. You love it when we put our meat in your mouth.

XtremeIdiots would like to wish all members celebrating their birthday today a happy birthday. LordLoftin (51)

Happy Birthday

Damnit this is really sad to read. Farewell Ted . May God be always with you in your time of need. It was a pleasure to have known you and game with you. Nothing but love bud.

as Essiee started this conversation thought it would be good to put it out there. so Essieee prefers to have a large head. me I like mine with a nice looking creamy head.... Jointy will have head any way it comes. So folks how do you like yours........... oooh soz we are talking beers

yes free just shake it an the foam will form some head double header

Looks WONDERFUL brother!! Especially with the gorgeous pastoral backdrop.

Thanks Skuz!

Thank You Skuzapo!

Yes, I’m selling it. This is only my second year bee keeping. $12 Canadian local pickup. My honey is all natural raw and simply filtered. It contains a bit of fine micro pieces pollen. Not pasteurized!

I prefer no foam, tends to stick to my stach

I was 10 years old. Funny seeing Brandy by Looking Glass. A couple members of that band helped form Starz which were heavier rock compared to Looking Glass. Alice Cooper, Schools Out !!! What a classic tune !!

Wow this turned into much more then I had expected... Lol

Haha you are a weirdo I want the foam on my beer to be 2 fingers thick

So sad to hear this about yet another long time COD2, XI member. As many know, I can relate, since my wife has been battling lung cancer for 7 years. Some of you met her at two of three XI Fests since. The last three years has been stage 4, as it's moving around (she get's radiation again next week for four new, small growths). But like Ted has had to do, it's an ugly battle and my prayers and best wishes go out to him and his family (no fun for them either!). God be with him!

Some of us have known Teds was not doing great but it now seems he is on limited time. Blownaway had got a chance to get out and see him some short time back and Teds was having a tough time then. I am Thankful Teds open his home to Blownaway for a few day visit and it seems now things have gotten far worse to the point Teds has moved in with his sister for hospice. He told me today she is taking the greatest care of his needs and she is truly a Blessing. Teds has Stage four cancer in its final stage with maybe a few weeks to a month left. Lord willing his suffering will not be that great in his final days @Ruggerxi he wanted me to share with you personally that he had a wonderful time all these years being a part of what you helped create here and being a member here ranked number #1 in time for the longest of him being a part of any one thing in his life (including marriage). He has the most respect for you for not only being a founder but the way you have always handled things with a tremendous amount of fairness. To all that knew and gamed with him over the years (to many to list) he wanted to Thank each and everyone of you for bring so much fun to the servers where the "old guys" came to talk trash. We had some great memories to reflect on I myself and deeply saddened and will report back as any news comes in. I will ask those whom Pray to do so on his behalf and his Sister who has chosen to be his caregiver in his final days
