I go a bit higher, but anything over 80% I have to really be in the mood for.

Yeah, I like my chocolate like I like my weather: low 70s.
Over the weekend, Mme K made a roast duck for company. She then made stock for me with the giblets, and I used that stock tonight to make a nice French onion soup - topped with a few dollars worth of gruyere and emmenthaler. Paired nicely with a Cabernet blend we bought from a local winery over the weekend.
Potential client in the DC area - looks promising for a few visits, maybe something beyond that. Might be able to catch up with MT folks in the DC area along the way.

Made pineapple and poblano tacos with my youngest. They were delicious.

Get in with the feds.
The prospect I'm talking to in the DC area would be a bridge to that. I don't think that will get me to Raleigh, NC, though.
you take the highway......it ain't that far!

It seems some folks are longing for the good old days, when everyone here got along, people were respected, no one argued and all was right with the world. I’m pretty sure that version of the forum never existed.
In the words of the great Billy Joel, “You know the good ole days weren't always good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.”
Living in the past or in the future makes it very hard to appreciate the present.

I just miss the martial knowledge that was here. Were there arguments? yup. Where there trolls? Yup, but per capita there were fewer, and they did not last long. There were a lot of good people with a lot of knowledge that trained with some pretty impressive people and many have have gone.... that is all.... will it get better later? Possibly, but for the moment, IMO, it is worse than it use to be...and has been declining for awhile. but that is my opinion...others mileage may vary....

And now, without further ado, good night MT
Some of our disagreements are the reason I like you.
Everyone just agreeing would be boring.

I, myself have not trained in almost 10 years now.
Damn, time flies when life sucks!
but yeah, a lot of knowledgeable folks have found other ways to express themselves.
or fell silent altogether.
I know the last decade ripped a hole in my little universe, with 2 prominent figures passing.

Tumbler and twitter did the rest.

And you’re entitled to it. I get it. But I encourage you to enjoy the spirited discussion. I miss some folks, too. Some of the folks I miss left because of some of the folks you miss (I hope that makes sense).
And also it’s a little humorous to me that guys who have been here for just a few years are acting like they know what things were like “in the good old days.”
Edit. I don’t mean you.
