Critical Path is better and better. In order to comprehend as much as possible, I've let up reading other books. It got to the point where trying to read four or five books at once was crowding my brain. A good experiment, though...
I get to move into my new house in Arcata in less than two weeks! Stoked on that, it's been a long time coming. Recently the Sushi Spot crew went on a big rafting trip to the Trinity. We spent a few nights at a nice campground with beautiful weather at ~100 degrees F. The river was a blast to cruise down on a raft, I rode through rapids with just a life jacket and jumped off many rocks. Got a little sunburned too.
Still struggling to sharpen my knives. Well, knife. I have finally figured out (perhaps) the whole development of the burr and all that leading to a fairly wicked sharp edge on my gyuto. For some reason though I can't get the back third of my yanagi to sharpen; maybe I'm trying too hard. I'm down to sharpen my knives every day, but I wonder also that my gyuto's edge begins to soften after about 10 hours of heavy use. This might have to do with the fairly steep included angle of the edge, or I just have a lot more to learn about sharpening. I'm still just using the one stone, a 1200x Bester.
I find that I'm missing the company of some few old friends who live far away now. Perhaps a selfish apprehension, I wish to share my love of life with them at this moment.
