First, let me state, the lower case “h” in “hides® Classic ” is not a typo, I don’t want my senior English teacher hunting me down….And I’ll follow up with, “anyone that is so laid back as to NOT capitalize the name of their product is pretty awesome in my book”. A local company, hides.com gave […]
Another Coconut Obsession
I’ve always kicked around the idea of marketing dehydrated water….I’m guessing I’d make a killing for the ultralight hiking crowd….I just never took the initiative to get the product line started…..then researching, I found someone had beat me to it 🙁 Along those same lines, I was thinking about
The Mullet Run
Love `em or hate `em, mullet are a vital part of the local saltwater ecosystem. This is the time of year that the water temps start to drop and the mullet start to head to warmer southern waters for the winter, in order to spawn.
Ideas on Small Scale Pork Production in an Urban Environment
First, let me state that this may offend some of you. I don’t really care. Not that I’m trying to be antagonistic, I just don’t lose sleep if something I say as a statement of what I believe is possible offensive. This is all theory and conjecture at this point, and even if I am […]

Invasion of the Giant Tiger Prawn

I mentioned seeing a lot and even catching some shrimp, and wanting to do it again, specifically targeting shrimp. Well I noticed one shrimp that was much larger than the rest, and was

A Failure on my part – Overgrown gardens
Florida is home to a fantastic array of flora and fauna. We have artichokes to zoysia grass, and armadillos to zebra mussels. And most of it flourishes at one point or another during the year. As far south as we live, we rarely get a frost, and I’ve yet to see a heavy killing frost […]
