had a nice thanksgiving break full of eating, drinking an relaxing.

Woke up well rested on Friday morning and got dressed for a good, calm day:

Was able to get out on the dock and fish a little bit.

Afterwards I made a Sirloin Sandwich with my favorite tortilla chips and organic salsa. Paired it with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale :)

After dinner, we sat around and watched movies, and had coffee drinks.

Espresso+Brandy+homemade whip cream=:D

takin it easy on the fashion today, hard on the tools

cut all the panels for a 15" sealed cabinet subwoofer that will eventually have some rustic trimmings

15 year old craftsman router wouldn't start after I spent half an hour crafting a circle jig out of plastic

new 2hp plunge router is pretty badass plus it kind of comes with its own jig only needed a couple modifications. I should have picked up another carbide bit though cause MDF is nasty shit

here i'm done with the first part of the routing work. 30minutes to cut through that sucker after spending an hour trying to get a true circle out of it on scrap

Went to this water town Zhu Jia Jiao on the outskirts of Shanghai

Business was slow for the local hairy crab saleswoman

And the pork knuckles trade...

Snapped some great additions to my typology of chinese bikes such as this QJiang ... check the handwarmers!

Drank some fresh sugarcane juice

Came across this rabid crowd of tourists fighting over the local speciality "zhong zi" (sticky rice wrapped in leaves). This shop had been on TV so the trading was fast & furious

4144059612_167e5754c1.jpg

Tried to get in on the action myself

Who knew so many animals could be made from woven grass reeds... great profit margin in that!

4144041930_e3c111ee12.jpg

Had a chat with the local maker of wooden brushes and swords (for when the pen is just not mighty enough)

4143291041_bb502c9ae0.jpg

Enjoyed the local snacks like toffied shrimp on a stick

4144038160_00a8093a20.jpg

Thought seriously about buying another tortoise to replace the ones my dogs ate

4144040076_47416f04e7.jpg

It was freezing...

4144023182_377911511c.jpg

But I took my jacket off so y'all could appreciate my chambray

4144077214_691b6188fc.jpg

Yes, it was a good day...

That's a fun place to visit. The shop owner has been running this business for years. And he knows a lot about toys :)

crazy pics....do they really bag the chicken while it is alive ? how cruel....

This was the first time I've seen them selling live chickens that you take home and kill yourself. And yes it went into the bag alive, with it's feet trussed up. I guess when you buy live it's cheaper and fresher, and usually free range.

In China the road side chicken sellers normally kill, bleed and pluck the chicken for you. But you only see this in the smaller cities or old quarters of the big cities. In the tier 1 cities like Shanghai, people buy chicken from the supermarket or wet market butcher just like westerners.

I do think there's something honest in killing your own meat though. It's very confrontational and makes you realise how desensitised & pampered we are these days.

Water the cyclamen. Poinsettias don't need it today. Besides it's not good to water them on cloudy/rainy days.
