Thanks Susan. Hope all is well with you and yours.

I think heat may be worse than cold on them.

FTFY

What up sir chief?!

 

Your Uncle Ted?

 

Chillin' and hoping I shift into daywalker schedule easily for next week. We're heading north either Sunday or Monday to chase caribou ... opens on Tuesday. Our departure will be based on intel/updates on herd location we should get tonight.

How are ya'll Brother? No flooding I hope. Looks like it's not to you yet?

My BIL hasn't replied to my text query 20 mins ago...I'm waiting a bit before I check with rest of family on his status. Heard some cell coverage is out too, so that may be a factor.

 

It's slow moving our way which is bad. Not breaking up much which is good for us bad for others. The coast is flattened. Places where we all charter deep sea fish trips are all flattened, gone. Going to be awhile for them to rebuild.

 

Yep, I see the coast got slammed and now the flooding will get worse before better. Fickle Bitch is showing no mercy ... at least the death toll isn't high. Thoughts and prayers for all in the path there.

... tornado warnings in Houston area now.

 

Yea at nighttime too no doubt

 

Well I feel better then!

Went to Costco and they only had 3 bellies left and none of them really hit my fancy. So went to my favorite butcher shop and got the biggest belly I have seen in years. 14.5 pounds



They are normally $3.99 a pound there and Costco is $3.49 but don't mind supporting the small shops, especially when they carry what I like. But when he rang it up even he was stunned.



It has gone up to $4.79 a pound. Said all meat has been skyrocketing lately. Afraid I may end up getting it at Costco now they are still $3.49 pound for pork bellies.

I'm out of Maple Sugar but have 3 pounds coming tomorrow from Amazon to start the cure. Used to get it from the local food Co-op but went there Friday night and they stopped carrying it because no one was buying it. Hard for the smaller places to compete even though I try to support the local smaller shops.

 

Good luck Rob! You should have enough meat to make through the winter at the rate your going

 

Never had pork belly

 

We could work out a trade. Axis /whitetail smoked dried sausage for pork belies?

 

Chest freezer. I have standup and a chest.

 

Leave it alone

 

You got em?

 

Yea
I leave them alone.

 

I do too. You ever watch em?

 

If I can until I see a squirrel!

 

They are interesting to watch.
