Poor Old Jack

It’s that time, folks! Get out your tools and start carving your pumpkins. Doing it outside is a good idea but the weather might keep you in. There’s one couple in the third photo at the top who thought it’d be a good idea to carve theirs under water. Makes for easy clean-up. No matter […]

Orange Ya Glad…

(top half) A snapshot of the Brown’s helmet history—details below. (bottom half) Fans are passionate as evidenced by the efforts put into developing new helmet graphics. I do like that first one with the “Dawg” graphic. But I’m pretty partial to the one at the bottom right.  😉   Wow.  My beloved Brownies did it right this past weekend. […]

Pass the Ketchup Please

Why do I looooove fast food? Well, it’s fast…and it’s FOOD!   We have all been there. That little voice in our heads that says “I’ve been good” then says “yes, it’s ok” and then shouts “go now”. Experts call it a craving.  Some says it’s just being human.  Toss aside the logic, the calories, the balanced meal – […]

Thank You

No matter what your labor, have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!   Labor Day weekend honors the American labor movement and the contributions of workers throughout our history and wonderful country. I am so very proud of my team here at Kowalski Heat Treating. Without its great people KHT would cease to exist, I am […]

“16, 24, 9 – Ready, Set….”

(top) Cleveland Brown Stadium; (row two) The Ancient Greek’s version of football called Episkyros.

Not much padding there either. (row three) The great quarterback […]
