I have an odd urge for a couple hot dogs. I don't have any though. I'll have to put them on the shopping list. I'd either steam them, grill or boil them when I cook them at home, Not a huge fan of hot dogs but when eaten at baseball or hockey games they hard to pass up (maybe it's the atmosphere), Sometimes the craving for a hotdog pops into my brain.

The best hot dogs I've had were deep fried from a food truck. They were super yummy.

I'm not a fan of corndogs, Give me a hot dog without ketchup, various relishes or mustard,. Just a straight up hotdog on a bun with some diced onion, maybe some hot sauce then a bag of chips and a root beer or ginger ale and I'm good,

Totally need to get some hot dogs next time I go food shopping.

Hot dogs!

I just did a final taste comparison between Hebrew National and Sabrette deli dogs. Sab won on both size and taste. Nathan's sucks in comparison. Want to test Vienna too, but can't find it locally...

Best buns, IMO, are the Dutch yellow potato ones that stay fresh and moist, and without mold for over a week.

I always boil. Steam the bun only when it's a bit too dried out. Then, roll it in tinfoil to let it steam and heat-up the bun for a couple minutes before eating. As far as toppings go, I do not do any unless it is Detroit Style Coney Island Chili and chopped onions.

I am a connoisseur in my own mind!

Morning folks. No way to describe the Alaskan scenery except fantastic in every direction you look. Passed seven named glaciers on the drive from Girdwood down to Seward yesterday.

We have a booking for a helicopter trip to one today and the fjords iffn the weather cooperates. Spent a few hours at a wildlife sanctuary. Musk ox are uglier than buffaloes 🦬.

Awesome, Alaska is gorgeous. I hope the weather cooperates for the helo trip. We were lucky enough to get our first helicopter ride in Juneau to the Mendenhall Glacier. Glaciers have little pools and rivilets of water on the surface with the most beautyful shade of blue you'll ever see.

Those are some awesome rides though. Just a Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil for us, but it was fun.

Our older son made a couple of trips in CH-47 helicopters, old and leaky.

We finally had good weather and we got in a long hike that took us within a few hundred yards of the calving terminus of the Exit glacier.

Later we were able to get in a helicopter ride of one hour landing on another glacier and ice field.

Fantastic day!

Never rode on on helicopter. Although I have phobia of heights, I don't mind flying. It's kinda weird.

When I was younger I seriously thought about getting my license to pilot and get a degree in aeronautic engineering. One of my hobbies when I was young was to make model airplanes. I had a bunch of them handing on my ceiling in my bedroom. My favorite from the WWII area are the P-51 Mustang, the P-38 Lightning. The Spitfire is also on the list. And that's just the European theater. Tons of great planes in the Pacific theater too both from the good guys and the bad guys.

The A-10 Warthog is an awesome plane. That's also in my top 10 of favorite planes.

I spent about 4 years building some ATFLIR targeting units for the A-18 Hornet back in the day of the Gulf War. Loved that job and learned a lot on how fiber optic gyroscopes and accelerometers work. The technology could put a missile or laser guided bomb into a something as small as car from while the plane was 60 miles away (pubic knowledge but nonpublic knowledge is it's more accurate than that).

I love planes and helicopters from WWII to the present.

With that said, I'd likely turn into a fainting goat if I had to go parachuting,

Spent an hour watching fishermen catch silver salmon one after another from the shore near the mouth of a small river . Most were 5-10 lbs . I asked one guy what he does with all his catch and he said he sells most to the local restaurants for around $2 lb and they get about $50 lb selling dinners to tourists.

He said he can easily make $100 per hour when they are running.

In Boca Raton through tonight.
Woke up at like 6am and nobody else was awake so I went to the nearby LA Fitness to swim laps.
Taking my daughter's fiancé to a cigar bar to smoke and relax.
That, spending time with my family and Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) Dinner are the rest of my day! Herfing

Taking the train is better than driving between Seward and Anchorage. We did that last year after a cruise.

Here is what really blasphemous:

Since it’s raining I thought I would find a cigar lounge to have a smoke while the wifey was doing some shopping. Found a cigar shop but the proprietor said no one can smoke in ANY indoor facilities anywhere in the state unless it’s a cigar club that you must join. He said the fkn liberals have ruined the state.

Did not expect that in Alaska 😡

I get a hunger for liverwurst about once a year. Used to go to Langer's, a Jewish deli near downtown LA, to scratch that itch. Haven't been there since we moved to Corona 7 years ago. There's another Jewish deli in Palm Springs that makes an absolutely bomb liverwurst and egg salad sandwich. I forget its name, but I can find my way there.

The stuff in the local supermarkets is substandard and unfulfilling; Farmer John, Morrell, Dietz and Watson and Jones Dairy Farm come to mind. I'll have to see where I can get Boars Head...they make tasty pastrami, corned beef and dry salami...stands to reason their liverwurst is good...
