Oh ok. You thought it was like a mom and pop gas station....

 

Back when I was a kid my dad ran a gas station. He had 1 candy bar machine and 1 soda machine.

 

Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer was running the movie theater and there was a single hot dog in the cooker for an eternity...

 

I hear the sushi is awesome....

 

Your not helping

 

How are the burritos?

 

Another just done...

 

me, too. Always got to clean the beaters and bowl

Back then they were service stations, not convenience stores

Hey Mike @Cold Iron how'd the pup do today?

I like that. That is really pretty Tim

 

Thank you!

Seen this at the swap meet a couple weekends ago.

 

What? Speak up.

Welcome, are you a fellow O.F.?

 

Party #2 went better, 6 of us at dinner, our annual Christmas get together. Drank 2 large margs and ate some carne asada. It was at the old Misson inn in riverside decorated nicely.

 

I buy gas at a gas station

How much of that is left?
I can make it to Fond Du Lac in >2hrs.

Amazing and bolt action too
Do you make the cases as well?
A friend of mine makes pens uses a old second hand lathe he got for $100. Recently started doing Acrylics. Wild designs.

 

First sleep just under 4 hours and here I am wide awake coming up on midnight, I like working the mid-shift, but sometimes the sleep pattern on my days off frustrates me.

@Kolunatic , we’re at 60 lbs from tenderloins, backstraps, neck meat, ribs, brisket, and flanks; so I think 150 to 200 lbs is a good guess total, probably closer to the 150 side.
She was probaly a 500 to 600 pound animal, so 1/3 of that is what we generally end up with processed, in the ballpark of any way.

Follow-up to yesterday’s “technology topic” ...

I sincerely miss my Motorola Tundra flip phone, I think I carried it from around 2007 or 2008 until 2012. That was probably my favorite period of technology level...I felt like the cell phone and the computer were still decent tools over which I had control. Once I went Iphone (smart phone) in 2012, this trend of feeling the technology hinders me as much as it helps started ...


But pay no mind to the insomniac rumblings of a grumpy old bastard luddite.

Nice decorations. Glad you had a good time.

... 6 is an acceptable size “crowd” for me too.

 

Thank you, Rob. I haven't made any boxes. That is a $5 gift box I purchased. I pass them on at cost.

 

That’s a good haul
