Hey backpack, you must have the same "Idiot's Guide To Pun Construction" that I do. Fascinating stuff those puns.

Anywho, welcome to the site HB! Nice to see you joining in on the conversations already! I think it is really cool to see guys around these parts that can list baking and shooting as two of the things they love to do. We are definitely changing the world, my brothers! Myself, I prefer general landscaping to gardening, but I am interested in getting into gardening. Maybe we can trade tips sometime.

Nice.

I'm going to try to bake my daughter a Jellyfish-shaped cake for her first birthday. Baking is manly.

we are changing the world is

we are changing the world is right some would say baking and guns seem funny, my mother walked out on us when I was 15 and my father dug him self in to his work and did not get home till 7 pm so I had to start cooking, I took classes in school and made meals and baked cookies for my sister and I. Then my dad and I went hunting in the fall but I think I like to just to target shooting more than hunting.
I fell in love with baking I love to make pies and when you eat a pumpkin pie made from pumpkin from your own garden useing you grandmothers pie crust recipe OMG it is the best, it helps that gardening is in my blood my family ran a vegie farm for over 100 years till the old farm and stand burnt in the 90's and the state (A**H*L*s) took half the land for for a new bypass.
So now my talents feed my family and I teach the kids all I can.
