Coffee

Atta girl, we are rubbing off on you

 

Merry Christmas
Got any ketchup?

 

Ketchup is the new coal

 

Not changing his name from coal to ketchup.

 

It only gets better.

 

I still do mine old school.
Meat slicer and semi frozen meat.
Start the smoking process in my ancient Luhr-Jensen smoker...then finish it in the dehydrator.

 

It stopped snowing. Only got 1/2 inch, can still see the grass. Already took a nap.The dogs opened their gifts and are happy. Now we are just waiting for Creg and Logan to get here.

 

Not grumpy
Just misunderstood.

We are here for you as you transition

 

Well with luck you have Family there or are at Family place so do what most of us do lol eat and nap :}

There is a blast from the past! The Ex threw away my Luhr-Jensen when I was on recruiting duty in Lancaster Pa. back in the mid 80's. I bought it in Wa. State for smoking salmon. One of the neighbors called the fire department when I was using it and she kept throwing it out and I'd dig it out of the dumpster. At one point she managed to get it by me. Now Smokehouse owns them and they are nothing like they used to be.

Meat slicer is long gone too. I cut muscle meat by hand on a meat board but semi freeze it first. The dog gets the trimmings.



Used to do the whole thing on the WSM with pizza trays and oak dowels cut an inch long.





But is a PITA with a vertical smoker. Have looked at new horizontal tray electric smokers but here in the winter would have to be extremely well insulated. They make them but they are spendy, as in the +$600 range. Or more.

 

1,2,3,4 I declare a brick war

 

Nap complete.

 

Nap????
What the hell???
Your old

 

Finishing lunch and then taking mine.

It’s all about the naps!!

 

The lady GIVES us one -liners like that and as gentleman we must behave...……………… BUT WHY

Merry X-Mas young lady..... and all of that sno-shoveling is what keeps that body buff...

 

Well I’m beat, back to the grind in the AM. Took my mother in law her gifts and a drive to the beach. The water is super high, a lot of beach erosion. Not crowded, how I like it.

 

Shall we start with the gibbs head smack or the hammer smack ...discrection is the better part of valor lol
