Pivodog Well yes as there wasn’t any street water for her to drink and I was fresh out of warm whiskey to keep me warm…

johnsbrewhouse I’ll take that 50 right now. Its 17 and dropping right now with about 8 inches of snow with a nice icy base.
GWG8541 That icy base is what sucks. That’s what we had Christmas Eve and on and off for two weeks, We normally don’t have prolonged snow here. I have a plow on my quad in the winter because in order to get up the driveway, it needs to be clear since its so steep. My Kubota just didn’t cut it, it hates ice, even being 4wd. Plus when I was working for the pd., we got called in at 3 AM to chain police vehicles then had to do the Public Works trucks.

YooperDog We are on parallel universes. I just snared a 16 lb butt for 1.59 and am planning out how much of breakfast, brat and polish I will create. As usual, yours look close to perfect. I do like my knife also. Just cut up 4 lbs of onions for making French Onion soup and the butt into grinding pieces. Oh, the house is going to smell good today. Just waiting for the freezing rain and 8-14 inches of snow to hit.
Saw a pork butt sale locally for $0.88/lbs. Unfortunately my wife ORDERED me not to fill up the freezer because we are in the process of selling the house.
Dr_Pain .88 cents, I would be in trouble because I for sure would have not listened to my wife!

johnsbrewhouse it has always amazed me how far north your state is, but how mild the winters can be. I know its according to where in the state someone lives and how close to the Pacific you are, but you definitely live in a beautiful state.

GWG8541 It depends on which side of the mountains you live on and how far north in the state you live too. The folks who live East of the mountains like Joe Hell can get really cold weather near or below zero, the people on the west side but north near the Canadian boarder get colder and snow more often than we do even though they are only 144 miles away. They get weather from the east that comes through the Fraser River canyon that it cold and causes heavy snow. So many micro climates, we even have the only rain forest in the US.

johnsbrewhouse those rain forrest are amazing. That is one thing I can hopefully do before I get to old. I want to take the wife to the pacific north west. She has never been. Its definitely something to see. Like I said, you all live in a beautiful state. Words or video can’t do it justice.

GWG8541 August and September are the best times and probably the driest. July we get rain at times and it can get really warm but by mid August and September we are cooling down and our fall rains have not started. Rain here is generally not heavy, just light and drizzly but can be all day. This all depends also where you are. I live 100 miles from the coast and 60 miles south of Seattle kind of in an area that see’s some rain shadowing from the coastal range.

GWG8541 Take your wife to British Columbia too. I was there briefly about 20 years ago or so, I think in September, maybe August. It is breathtaking & as you mentioned, there is a rainforest there. Then you think about it a bit. Of course Oregon & Washington is very nice too.

Got her all buttoned up, now time to enjoy spoils. My digital scale broke which makes me mad.

calldoctoday Right now crossing the boarder is a little tricky, by summer hopefully things will be better.

HerbcoFood Well, Amazon is always waiting for an order.

15 lbs of mixed-bag burger is put up. Made deer jerky for a friend, the trim and pieces too small to mess with for jerky went into a grind with some leftover antelope that I had, two beef roasts, and two lbs of ribeye fat cap that I picked up from my local Dillon’s a while back. Fried up that last little bit that’s left in the stuffer, man was it tasty! Probably pretty close to 1:1:1 on the meat blocks or 2:1 game:beef. I’m going to estimate it at 90/10.

Lance Glad I really don’t need one for awhile.

If this counts as a project, my neighbor gave me about 5lbs of speckled trout, so I took the 10 minutes to portion it out.
