Just curious what everyone does for work. Ive been cooking for about 9 years now, love it . My job the last couple years has been in an outdoor kitchen at the mouth of the bay. Its great i get to watch all the boats and fish blitzing 100 ft from my kitchen, not to mention the sunsets and the great view of the bay and newport bridge. Not to mention having a brew to this view after a long sweaty day.I dont know how some people sit in a cubicle all day.

it was 2 years old and sweet smelling
(fully composted) ..and not nasty
like fresh manure even though it kinda looks like it...in the photo.


i laugh when i see bags of manure for sale....what a joke. :grins:
it's always free...unless it's a specialty manure like Bat guano
or rabbit manure...
