Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

* Osborne Brothers - Rocky Top

Whiskey session favorites...because I can!

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top
Half bear, the other half cat
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that

Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirts too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar

* Skillet Fried Steak

We had the most amazing cast iron skillet fried steak tonight. One inch thick rib eye with salt and pepper. Skillet fried over a fire pit with butter and garlic baste. Green salad and asparagus.

I'm stuffed!

* The Cobb Grill

While camping with one of our friends recently, he showed us his Cobb Grill. Great little compact unit for grilling, stir-fry, roasting, frying, baking, and more. It takes a few accessories to perform all of those tasks, and can get a little expensive, but once you are all set up, it should last a lifetime. 

These pictures were quickly taken with a hand-held GoPro, so nothing special, but they do give an idea of the size of the unit. The whole thing fits in a box about 13x13x15.
