Hi Friend,
Andy is wicked smart. She is always studying things. Meanwhile Spike wags her tail through the day.

Not planned, but cast iron pans and pizzas are featured in some of the new vids, plus the bees, who I just prepared for winter. Fingers crossed :)

Ask me a question on the podcast. I listen to Samin Nosrat's podcast Home Cooking, and listeners record audio questions on their phones and email them to her. Samin plays the audio questions on the show and then answers them. It works really well I think. And I'd like to do the same with you all. Please send me an audio question : GardenFork87@gmail.com

I own a really nice Leatherman Multi Tool. Its a gift from my father-in-law. And I am very reluctant to clip it to my belt, because I am famous for losing tools. I learned about this $21 knockoff from Gareth's tool newsletter. So I have been using this since July, and it has been quite good. Is the quality the same? No, but I'm not scared to lose it either. $21 WorkPro 18 in 1 Stainless Multi Tool

Pizza, Cast Iron, & 24 Minutes of Eric in the Yard. What fun. The Brooklyn street find pan was nice. Its one of Lodge's higher end pans, and it makes a fine grilled cheese. Watch them all here.

New Episodes: Gabe from Save It For Parts is on the podcast, we talk about boating in Alaska. Rick is Rick when we talk about dogs. And my new truck towing fascination on YouTube. Listen here or on your podcast app.

Remember: Record a podcast question for me and email it: GardenFork87@gmail.com

Make It A Great Day - Eric.

Spike had the runs, and after not improving for 3 days, we went to our vet. We are lucky to have very chill dogs who like the vet office. Andy, who always wants to do the right thing, wanted to stay on the exam table, despite not being the patient.

I Bought Some Overalls, This Is My Story - Gardenfork Radio Podcast My deep research into buying used Carhartt, new Dickies, and Carhartt Renewed overalls. There are sites like Depop.com, (kinda like a trendy Ebay for used clothing) where you can buy used work gear, because work gear is
