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.

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.

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.

Well, decided to see if grinding the garlic (rather than boiling it whole), placing it in cheese cloth and dipping in warm water before squeezing out the juice is better. So, made Slovenian klobase with salt/pepper/garlic juice in a small 5 lb batch. The sausages are resting in the fridge until the temp drops outside to cold smoke them(Friday). Thinking this option is good because those sausages are permeating every crevice in the living area after I open the fridge.
