The idea is that you make a hamburger with with a 1:1 ratio of ground beef to bacon. Ours was a sort of off the cuff decision, but I used lean chuck and some frozen bacon we had. Our ratio was closer to 2:1 than 1:1 but so good.

I would highly recommend.
I may try frying/smashing then grilling next time as there was a ton of smoke and loss of sweet sweet pigfat which is always a travesty.

All of the St. Augustine grass shenanigans are worth it for this season right now.
Simply verdant.

Here are some other photos from our trip- I surprisingly didn’t actually take that many – but I suppose that’s a good gauge for how whirlwindy it was.

It’s a very cool project that looks at the need for emergency housing in a post-disaster situation( as an alternative to the ubiquitous and infamous FEMA trailers)
The structure is made up of plywood ribs and beams all designed on a computer then cut out of plywood and bolted together then shrink wrapped and held together in compression.

It was very cool and the structure is going to be exhibited soon at a big show in NYC.

Brian said that they needed some pictures and I had a camera – so voila.

So we put garage doors on in the rain. They are awesome but it was interesting to say the least. It also was not easy. If we had not had Mike to help us we would have been up a creek.

Pencil Portrait, originally uploaded by erictwright.
One of the girls in our first career day session came up afterwards with this sketch of us.

I was signed up to speak at a career day in April at Gadsden City High School. It was pretty interesting to speak to the high school students about Journalism – and what I actually do day to day.

One of the students doodled this drawing of me and another one of my co-presenters.

Pretty cool if you ask me.

Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

It was awesome as usual. The costumes were great and my friend Andy won the contest dressed up as the big red Chevy with a Rolling Stones soundtrack.
This post is late so I won’t go into all of the details but the highlights were.

Chris Harrison’s great lectures.

He is part of several bands that have big a big part of the Gadsden music community. The band has recently reformulated – but still has Jeremy on guitar and vocals. So we shot some photos for the newly reformulated and originally named – The Jeremy Jackson Band He needed some new promo photos so we crashed The Blackstone Pub and Eatery on Monday night and made some pictures that for some pressing promo stuff.

I can be pretty much a one trick pony with photos like these. Gridded Octa and a gridded rim with a brick wall. It wasn’t super creative but it got the job done – and aside from a drunken ‘lady’ and I use the term lady loosely trying to hit on Jeremy – it went smoothly and quickly.
