Weekend Steam: Firebox Fundamentals

I'll have a nice load of ash, with some hickory sprinkled in for a little oomph, and a garnish of walnut on top, just to let the old girl know she's special.

Crankin' It Up

Ross' Juba, a minstrel show tune by the early Twentieth Century musician, Eddie Ross.  Everyone should be issued a banjo when they are born.


AND A BONUS!  There was a very deep earthquake today in the Fiji Isles, and that reminded me of this gem that we first posted in 2008.

Like Wearing The Cone Of Silence

Charles Ricci and Gary Lemanski of Pro-Ears spent Thursday through Saturday at the Rendezvous, and surprised us by giving every registered attendee a set of Pro-Ears Ultra 33 Passive Ear Muffs.   The noise reduction with these muffs is simply amazing, and the soft leather ear cushions are comfortable to wear all day long.  Pro-Ears products are truly top-of-the-line.

Charles and Gary also brought Pro Tac Gold electronic muffs for the gun bloggers to try. These are the muffs to buy if you are serious about shooting and spend a lot of time at the range.

Zeke tried out both models, and he is thinking seriously about ordering a set of custom fitted electronic muffs to use in his noisy work environment. Check out the Pro-Ears website.   Pro-Ears products are American made, in Traverse City, Michigan.

Just to Cap Things Off

Way Back In B.P.

That's Before Pickups.  Folks are always looking for something to lean on while they visit about work and play, and if you don't have a pickup truck to lean on, the coal bunker on a steamer will do just fine.
