OT - What are you doing right now?

@kl8ton, That's a gut wrencher. Happened to my oldest when she was 4. Glad she is ok.

@kl8ton hope she is feeling better today, praying for you guys!

@kl8ton Your little princess is in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery

@kl8ton so sorry brother. I know that’s brutal. Happened to my sister in kindergarten. Definitely a terrifying time. Pray she gets better soon! Thank God it wasn’t near her eyes. 

If it’s any consolation to her when my sister got bit she had over 100 stitches in her face and she healed up and looked exactly the same. It will pass.

Thanks again all and thanks @Killit_and_Grillit for the words of affirmation about the lasting effect.  Today she is putting puzzles together and resting.

Thanks gents.   I did Lane‘s Kapalua on the cod.   I did a combo of kosher salt, Hardcore Black, and Meehan‘s ribeye on the sirloin.   

That Kapalua rub is incredible on salmon.

@kl8ton so sorry to hear about your accident. Hopefully it won't hurt her love of dogs. Prayers for ou daughter and family.

$770 deep into a vet bill so far. Woke up and the cat had thrown up in several places and was super lethargic. Waiting on test and x-ray results to know more.

My dog stole and ate a box of foil wrapped fig bars last week. So far he has pooped out one wrapper and puked up another. No vet bills so far.

Camped all weekend it was great. Some country ribs and pulled beef on the jumbo joe.

The way it vibrates the seeds into the soil is pretty cool. I did several acres with it. Makes it easy to get good coverage.

How much is fescue down there Ted? I just paid $2.40 a pound up here I don’t remember it costing that much.

I just saw that my Friends at Wolverine Boots (I worked there for 15 years) are doing a collaboration with Old Rip Van Winkle distillery. The boots are priced accordingly (but they are pretty sweet).

I have a pair of the 1000 Mile boots. I have always liked Wolverine.

I have a couple of them as well from my time there. was a great place to work back in the day. Was like working on a pirate ship. Frat House is an understatement. But, that type of work place did not stand the test of time so they are all corporate now (rightfully so- surprised nobody died)

Dry Cured Snack Sticks ( Spanish Chorizo ).....made snack sticks a few weeks back but thought how much better they would be naturally fermented and matured ....picked up some 20mm sheep casings ....114 mm casings pictured as well....these will ferment for a day then go in the chamber ....i made my own paprika so the smoke is there already .

Off to a good start, dont think the sticks will take more than 3 weeks, I'll let them.hang out in butcher paper after that to slow the drying for another week or 2 since I used cure 2, 

I say this was a success , will be the only way I do this in the future, sheep skins make a big difference , no ECA just a natural ferment flavor...i but them in a paper bag to mature a mother couple weeks while slowung the drying down

400lbs here, no room for negotiation. Thanks for confirming. @frazzdaddy

$400 for Van Winkle bourbon around here would be considered a deal.  Never mind the boots.

I do not have the seed box. In harder soils it is hard to calibrate. I spread all my fert. and Sol-U-Cal first. Then half my seed, aero-vate and then the other half of the seed.  Works well for me in the piedmont. Falcon Blend seed for me.

Little brother has a 2018 23 year old he’d part with for the right price. He’s asking 2 grand

Used some guidance from @Possumtrot and made some roasted salsa verde with poblanos, jalapeños, garlic, onion, lime, cilantro, tomatillos, spices, and some el Yucateco smoked habanero and green cholula. 

Smoked 25 lbs of chicken thighs on the pellet pooper. 

Meal prepped “smoked” chicken enchiladas.

Glad I finally found another bag of Non Cowboy lump. Contemplating something new for the Egg. Maybe baking?

Cleaned up the shop, somewhat.  Captured the rare state for posterity.   Wide angle makes it look expansive.
