My buddy BlueTang came through for me again. I dropped off a couple pork buts at his place for him to turn into some magical piece of edible tastiness. The first one he simply smoked over cherry wood, and was fantastic. Every time I would pull it out of the fridge, not only would I […]

Our First Month of Homeschooling
(This is another guest post by my wife, eb. Let her know if you liked it, so she’ll keep writing for FloridaHillbilly!) In mid-December, we, as a family, decided to homeschool our 9 year old daughter. DB wrote about the thought process and how this came about in an earlier post. As a quick recap, […]
I’ve Lived Here Too Long
The weather is cold and wet here, I dread the thought of just getting out of bed, let alone actually leaving the house, or even doing something. Ok, so my idea of “cold” is anything below
Guns and Ammo
I went to a gun show this weekend, one that happens several times a year and that I’d been to many times before. The crowd is usually decent, but not so crowded as to be elbow-to-elbow at every turn. Not so this show. Not only were there about 40% more people, but there was a […]
Homeschooling, Day One or ‘How We Got Here’
My first exposure to homeschooling was my senior year in high school. A new girl joined us at the beginning of the year, and when I got to know her, I found she was a local, and had been in the area her entire life. She, along with her siblings, had been home schooled. I […]
SALESMAN OF THE YEAR – An Opinion on Gun Control
I was working on a post when I stumbled upon an article that not only caught my attention, I couldn’t stop reading it. The author was well versed in what he spoke about, and what he wasn’t an expert on, he didn’t offer any input – he wasn’t going to “guess”. The article is steeped […]
Resolutions, Goals, and 2013
I’ve never believed in New Year’s resolutions. If something needed to be changed, just do it. No need to wait for a particular day. For example, I decided in November 2011 to change my
It’s Christmas in Florida
Today, I won’t be sleigh riding. I won’t be walking the hills looking for a late season squirrel to bring home for tomorrow’s dinner. I won’t be breathing in the cold, crisp mountain air purified by millions of acres of trees. I won’t listen to the crack of frozen tree limbs, or the yap of […]
Today the World Ends
This will be short. Kiss your significant other. Hug your kids. Make peace with your maker. Today the world ends, according to the Mayan calendar.
The Price of Freedom, or FloridaHillbilly Goes to the VA Hospital
Healthcare is a front page story item, and probably will be for a long time. Whether we’re talking about the implications of the health care reform tax credit, or coverage options, health care will be a hot topic for the foreseeable future. I’m a firm believer that the problem isn’t that we all should have […]
