John, that is some shitty luck with your QB. Looks like a couple of decent options out there to pick up based on their week 1 performance.
Also, who else saw @Schaaf at the game on Sunday?
Were you not standing around the same picnic table while @e300winmag and I skinned and quartered my bear without spilling the guts? Or two nights later when @Randy11 repeated the same feat at the same location? The first night I'll give you a pass as that bourbon bottle was emptying quickly. But...
The last several batches of sausage and snack sticks I made had powdered milk in the recipe. I don't know what purpose it serves but it was right around 1/2 cup per 5 pounds of meat. If your end product is slightly dry, try increasing the fat ratio in your meat mixture.
Sheep and pork snack sticks. Fermented for 24 hrs to lower the pH and finished on the smoker. Tangy, spicy, and smokey. Only complaint is I just made 5 pounds.
Pulled the last of the pepperoni out of the drying chamber tonight. You can guess which one didn't dry as firmly as I'd have liked. Lesson learned, don't double over the stuffed casings. The softer pepperoni tastes ok, it's just a weird texture to me. I'll use it to cook with.
In winter 2007 I helped with a mountain goat release in the Black Hills. Those goats were captured near Leadville, CO, fitted with a radio collar, and released near Mt Rushmore. Almost immediately one billy took off for the Badlands. Another ended up in SE WY and was still moving southwest...
One piece of the puzzle: R5 - 2600 -13 refers to Region 5 (ie California) of the Forest Service. 2600 is the file code for all things Wildlife and Fisheries with USFS. Not sure what the 13 references, might be a Forest identifier.
@Gerald Martin if you mean Adam Thielin for Russell Wilson, I'll have my people send over the paperwork today. Now that I have Mahomes rostered, I can bench him so he can't beat me as the opposing QB. Genius? I thought so. This is chess, not checkers.....
I already called dibs on the Broncos starting offense. And with the #1 pick, y'all can shed the tears now about what could have been with Russell Wilson as your QB.
Skeet: $5 range fee, plus your own shells, plus we each contribute a box of clays ($10) for 2 rounds. So roughly $35 total cost for two rounds.
Trap: $25 annual membership, plus $5 per round, plus your shells. Shoot as many rounds as you like.
I tried my hand at dry cured sausage this summer. The thought of fermenting meat with a lactobacillus and coating it in a penicillium mold is a bit unnerving but I figured I made enough sour beer in the past (on purpose) and survived. So why not.
I mostly used a wild pig for the Spanish...
