Seared bay scallops on thick peppery bacon, garnished with homegrown fresh dill. Not bad for an old paratrooper, eh? #Food #Foodie #Bacon #tuesdaymotivations

The good folks at @PCGScoin graded this at MS62. The last year of the large cent. Saucy, eh?

Just watched this @SpaceX launch from my driveway. Got to see the “jellyfish” effect as the rising sun reflects off of the rocket’s vapors. Super cool. 🚀

My buddy Jayce enjoying a nice margarita on a beautiful Fall day. After a few, the waiter cut him off when he started slurring his words. And no, I didn’t let him drive home.

Just added the FINAL piece to my 1909 set. The new one in the bottom center is the 1909 S/horizontal S mint error in smoking hot condition. Just showing off to my coin nerd buds. 🤣 cc: @Arrowheadbroken

Colorful, eh? What are you grabbing first?

Tonight’s salad didn’t stand a chance. 🤣

Yesterday’s haul. One step closer to completing my US cent collection. Yeah, it has some issues, but it’s beautiful to me. 🤣 #Coins #Numismatics

Still looking good after 231 years! Added this historic liberty cap cent to my collection today. The history this beauty has seen just blows my mind. You dig? #LargeCents #Numismatics #Coins

Picked up three new large cents today. This 1801 comes in a whopping 18 different varieties. This one happens to be the 17th variety and sports a great error on the reverse. Thanks to @Arrowheadbroken for recommending the book I used to identify it.

I’m not sure this could’ve turned out any better. The chicken may disagree, but I don’t care. Who’s ready for a piece? 🐓 🍗 👍

Finally picked it! We usually have a vase full of flowers on the kitchen island, but this looks way better. Now I have to figure out what to do with it. Any suggestions? 🍍🍍🍍

🍅🥓 The BLT just hits different. Crispy thick-cut bacon, juicy summer tomatoes, crunchy lettuce, and that golden toasted sourdough doing the lord’s work. This isn’t just a sandwich… this is the final boss of sandwiches. Simple. Legendary. Unbeatable. You dig?

Pineapples take forever to grow, but they’re worth the wait. The golden-colored one is about 13 months old and is just about ready for picking. Anyone else growing something cool? 🍍

Grilled shrimp salad. You dig?

Been adding to my US cent (aka penny) collection. This is what 215 consecutive years looks like. Only 16 more to go!

Not old and not very valuable. I just wanted to share one of my better coin photos. This Kennedy half proof coin sure is photogenic.

Laid up for a couple weeks, but this is a pretty good couple of weeks to do it. Wake up to the #TourdeFrance , then watch some #WorldCup matches, and next week, one of my favorite golf events with #TheOpen . My best buddy is supervising my arm’s recovery 🚲 ⚽️ ⛳️💪

Incredible color for a 117 years old cent. This scarce coin has been my white whale for the last couple of months. The picture doesn’t do it justice. What do you think, @Arrowheadbroken ? Send it off for a sticker? I think it would make the cut.

This chicken looks quite relaxed, doesn’t it? Who is cooking something good this weekend? 🇺🇸

Not trying to brag, but today my artwork was put on display at one of the largest art museums in Florida. If you get a chance to visit The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, look for it. A bunch of other kids got to draw something and hang theirs too. 🤣
