New England B.S. Thread

Damn I missed a lot of food talk! My family in Portugal fattens and slaughters two or three pigs every year to make fat, blood pudding, blood sausage, chourico. We also cook food in the ground sometimes. Good morning all!

 

Blood sausage.

I'm all for using everything from an animal, but I've never been able to stomach blood sausage or liver.

 

Yea the RTIC 65 was about 35lbs empty... I ordered the RTIC 45 for the longer trips and I have a softshell for the shorter ones. The nice thing about the RTIC 65 is I can leave it on my dad's boat and he'll use it all the time.

 

Not a fan of the sausage but love the pudding with fresh Portuguese cornbread and the liver is delicious! When done properly.

 

The bucket hooks for the tractor came in the mail yesterday, so I've got some welding to do this weekend. It didn't come with any at all; first tractor I've ever seen that didn't have them, but I suppose it means that the loader hasn't seen a whole lot of use. Still has the factory paint on the inside and bottom of the bucket, even, after 15 years of use. Not sure what they used the tractor for, but it picked up 700 hours somehow. Maybe mowing or something, but there's no grease on either of the PTO's. Came with a rear blade, but I can't imagine that they put 700 hours on it just grading dirt.

Nope.

 

The liver is good in small quantities - I'm a huge fan of Foes Gras or whatever its called as well.

The blood is great for war paint - it's very intimidating when you're out shopping on Black Friday.

 

Please stop talking!

 

But I have sooo many more pictures to share and discuss

 

I went with a couple of Ozark trails knock offs, for the money I spent and saved versus the big names, I am very happy.

 

No thanks .

 

Noooooo!

 

Not bad.. survived the (60th) birthday yesterday (not fond of b-days ) . home alone .. Played with my outdoor railroad "https://vimeo.com/manage/videos " The peanut gallery want to celebrate Sat .. I will be able too see my grandson ..frustrating trying to not use my right arm...I've been lucky not needing to hookup the plow ..it's not hard , but try to talk the wife into how to seems more than it's worth ..Thanks for asking

 

But it'd just dry black, so it'd just look like you'd wiped thin, runny eyeblack on.

 

If we get much for snow this weekend, I'm sure some TW peeps would love the chance to come over and shove some snow around for you. I'd volunteer, but it's a 3 hour trip, one way. And if I took the Yeti it'd be 5 hours

 

is it supposed to snow this weekend?

 

Have you seen the length of his driveway? There's a reason he has a plow!

 

Not sure about down your way. Up here it's supposed to start snowing Sunday during the day, snow all night and taper off sometime during the day on Monday.

Well that's why I volunteered somebody to shove the snow around, using a plow. Not to snowblow it.

 

Sunday morning we might get some but then warm up a little and turn to rain

 

Just ordered the urd rear O2 sensor simulator. Not long after installing the DT y-pipe it popped a p0420 and the stupid check engine light has been burning my retinas ever since. It annoys me that it disables vsc, Trac, etc. And lights all those stupid indicators up too. Hopefully this will clear up the cat related code then I just have to deal with the stupid charcoal canister code.

 

Sounds like some good stuff.
