Post a photo of something that brings you joy

Ok I'm in...

Spending time with my grandson, and my daughters

Spending time with my best friend and beautiful wife. We were out playing in the snow that day

And going for a ride when I can

Nice idea.  Here’s mine.

Its that time of year my friend. Long warm days perfect for the grill....

i love the Airfix logo on your joys...

Started riding the summer of 1965. Rode until the summer of 2015. In that time I had eleven motorcycles. Together, my wife and I rode maybe 300,000 miles. I do miss the freedom and my knees in the breeze.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Noticed that straight away.

Here's where I got the idea. I knew Bruce Carr back in the '90s before he passed.

Red Mesa always did,

In no particular order...and aside from the "given" (family...building models)...

This pic was taken on a "Wings of Mercy" flight. Taking a pair of medical patients from Ann Arbor MI, to home in the U.P. This was my first time flying the Cessna 310...loved every minute of it!

Flyin with my Dad (retired Huey pilot)

Salmon fishing with my Dad!

I get my "me time" in the woods...

Sharing the "woods meat" (bacon wrapped backstrap...charcoal grilled!) with family and friends...

This one is tough to beat...easy to beat if there were some mountains in the background!

There's many, MANY more things I find joy in...but we'd be here all night.

The day I presented my friend Joe Potts with a model of the P-47 he flew in WWII. I will never forget the look on his face as I handed it to him. I was so glad that I finished it when I did as he passed away a year later. He had placed it on his desk in the living room with a picture of him when he was flying the plane. They now sit on his sons desk along with a model of the plane his son flew that was built by another member of our club. My memory has deserted me for the moment and I can't remember the type of his plane.

I have heard of these knife's....are these the ones that are forged in layers of metal alloys?? If I remember corretly they are world renowned for their design and blade edge.

Here is one of mine:

My tastes in other foods have changed over the years, but I have always loved this crappy, cheap, happiness in a box.  I have tried other brands and had it in restaurants, but I always come home to this.

Speaking of boxes of happiness:

I would venture to say happiness CAN be bought, but that's because I am basically already happy.

Nothing like fresh salmon or steelies out of the estuary, doused in butter and lemon, wrapped in foil and tossed on the grill.  Your backstrap/bacon would be almost tied for the lead though.

 Once they get that dark...the smoker is best.

The shiney ones get filleted or steaked....baked, fried, grilled...whatever suits the mood!

 

Baron that looks pretty tasty. What flavor of beer is that?

Bill,

I have a couple shun knives and they are really nice.  I bought a couple global knives recently and they are really nice too.   I like the handles.  Not sure which are best but really like them both. 

They are nice. I also have an 8" Henckel and another no name 8". What I like about the Shun is that it's comparably light weight, which suits my own touch.

It's beyond me to hone them, but it's not expensive to have it done.

Carlos, love that barbeque. Why don't you invite us all over. Your wife would never forgive you.

Fermis, that bacon wrapped meat is beautiful. I'm getting a pound of homade pancetta tommorrow from a friend. I was thinking the same thing with beef filet.

Salmon in Michigan? Howdat?

The style is a Marzen. 

That Snitzel looks tasty too.

Nice call, Munich is a great place to visit.
