YooperDog you can tell she definitely loves the snow

YooperDog My dogs have all loved the snow, don’t get much here in NM but when we would go to MN for Christmas, they had a blast digging through the snow. The first time we went back home with my first yellow lab my Mom was so worried that it he was going to be too cold. I was doing dishes one evening and he was outside asleep on top of a snowbank, called my Mom over to see him, told her he was either frozen or doing alright in the snow.

YooperDog Here’s mine finding her ball under the snow. Our love it as well, they just go out and lay in it and act like puppies again.

johnsbrewhouse bocephus yeah I think they enjoy their fur coats this time of year, not so much during the summer.

Retired157 When I checked last night it was in Billings, great news. They must have put it on a truck.
Just checked now and it’s listed as ‘Out for Delivery’. Our mail usually arrives later afternoon so I think I will spend some time today ‘laying’ things out… organizing. My wife says she’s going to Lewistown today to see her girlfriend for a few days, so it would be a perfect time for me to get this Summer Sausage thing done… and have a beer! : )
I’ll keep you posted but it appears that the ‘time’ has come.

Ok John… as I sit here waiting on the mailman, I’ve been getting things laid out in the garage and running around town a little. Here’s my ‘stuff’ as I prepare for the big day tomorrow.

I have all the grinder parts in the freezer so they’ll be cold. Do I lube them before the freezer trick or after… ?
I’ve got all my meat out and thawing. I’ll watch it as the day goes on and put it in the refrigerator before it completely thaws… trying to keep it frosty.
Got my wood, Hickory, ready for the smoker when the time comes. I’m going to use those ‘disposable’ baking pans for water/humidity for the smoker. Went and got a couple of sponges to aid in the evaporation process; even ‘equipped’ them with two ‘wicks’ each… just thought it might help keeping that ‘upward’ draw. Here’s a pic…

Just about ready to measure/weigh out my spices & additive’s. I have to run back to the store and grab two bags of ice; forgot that as I was out but hey, I did remember the beer!

Pretty sure you got this! Have fun!Thanks for all the advice & encouragement. Like anything else I guess, the ‘first time’ is always the hardest… ufda; lots just went through my head there! Guess the good news is this… I follow directions really well.
Hey… Thanks to everyone!

Everything is measured out. Time for one more beer and then wait; in the morning, we ‘go’. By the way John… that was one hell of a ‘sealing’ job on that binder!

Retired157 Chamber sealers do a great job, and that wasn’t a full pull
