Warsaw Grouper

Corpus Christi area local, Andy Bennett, caught this monster 145 pound warsaw grouper in 640 feet of water off Port Aransas.

Nice catch, Andy! Did you need a chain saw to clean it?

Obligatory: Sarah Palin's Alaska

This looks like a great show. It premieres November 15 on The Learning Channel.

World Record Typical Whitetail

Here is a great deer. Congratulations to the hunter.

I am not sure if it was an open range deer or a high-fenced deer. The record books needs to have different categories for the two types. Nonetheless, it's beeg.

Potential SCI World Record SCI Typical Whitetail Harvested

On Saturday, October 9th, a whitetail buck was harvested outside of Fredericksburg, TX that is likely to become the new world record SCI Typical whitetail. Taken on the Bang Whitetail Ranch, which is owned by Jerry and Carrie Bang, this unbelievable buck green scored 253 2/8th inches gross, and netted 250 1/8th inches.

The Bang Whitetail Ranch began managing ten years ago and is in their third year to offer commercial hunts. The ranch is managed and operated as a family operation, and is on an MLDP Level 3 permit system.

Amazingly this buck is estimated to be only 4 1/2 years old and carries 30" main beams with an inside spread of 22", and packs 49" of mass. His left side tine lengths were 15", 14", 12", 10", and 10", respectively.

Incredibly, this deer was harvested only one day after the same hunter also harvested a 210 7/8th inch buck the day before.

The Bang Whitetail Ranch is located in Willow City, Texas just a short distance from Fredericksburg, right smack dab in the heart of Texas. To learn more about this great buck, and possibly book a hunt, check out Bang Whitetail Ranch.

Chocolate-Covered Bacon

Anybody care for a piece of chocolate-covered bacon?

Savoury treat for lead-lined stomachs only... chocolate covered bacon

And if you thought mixing dulce de leche with cheese was exotic, then head straight to Marini's in downtown Santa Cruz.

The American restaurant has married two of the world's most delicious ingredients and given us the unusual combination of chocolate-covered bacon.

Their recipe uses hickory smoked bacon, cooking it in the oven until crispy and golden, before smothering it in their special brand of chocolate.
And for those who like to take the sweet n savoury mixture one step further, you can always sample chocolate-covered bacon mixed in with maple syrup ice-cream at Marini's itself.

It's called the 'vegan's nightmare' and its not difficult to see why.

Born in Italy, founder, Victor Marini brought his family to Santa Cruz in 1905 and opened the Palace Barbershop on Cooper Street across from the old Santa Cruz Court House.

He also had a barbershop in the old Casa del Rey Hotel near the Boardwalk.

One spring day in 1915, Victor accepted a customer's offer and bought his popcorn stand at the Boardwalk.

Joseph Marini Sr. started working for his father at the age of 10 in 1920.

Following his father's death in 1938, Joe Sr. and his wife Josephine were instrumental in building up the business.

The family soon expanded the operation and started making salt water taffy, caramel corn, and candy apples.

In the years to follow, the business was passed on to Joe Sr.’s sons, Joseph Jr. and Joel, and their wives Carol and Kathy.

Today, Joseph Marini III continues the tradition of making fine candies.

New Nail Gun

New Nail Gun, made by DeWALT.
It can drive a 16-D nail through a 2 X 4 at 200 yards.
This makes construction a breeze.
You can sit in your lawn chair and build a fence.
Just get your wife to hold the fence boards in place while you sit back,
Relax with a cold drink and when she has the board in the right place,
Just fire away.
With the hundred-round magazine,
you can build the fence with a minimum of reloading.
After a day of fence building with the new DeWalt Rapid fire nail gun
the wife will not ask you to build or fix anything else, probably, ever again.

Tolerance NASCAR Style

The following photo was taken in the parking lot at a recent NASCAR race.

Ahhh. Tolerance.

Dead Rhino

Notice how the liberal media establishment cheers as establishment Republicans and the political class elite, even Karl Rove, (Whats up Karl? I know you follow my blog.) cry rhinoceros tears over Sen. Mike Castle's (RINO-Delaware) demise at the hands of Tea Party favorite Christine O'Donnell?

To hell with the Senate majority if it means electing a bunch of liberal Republicans who cut deals and vote for cloture on every liberal agenda item. These RINOS are much of the reason the Republican Party has lost its credibility in the first place.

BURN THE PUPPY DOWN. Watch Christine O'Donnell win by a squeaker in November. (Sarah Palin wink.)
