Smoker Upgrade!

Retired157 Ron we can make it happen and worry about the finances later, it not like I’m going broke helping you out. I can probably get it out tomorrow via USPS priority mail, just send me you last name in the chat so I can put it on the label. If I mail it tomorrow they say it will get there Monday. I will send you 6 ounces.
NICE! Thanks… and you do it at your convenience. That’ll make my wife happy as well. She has me doing pretty much a total ‘remodeling’ of the house. I’m down to the last room… the Master Room. I told her that before I started that room, I wanted to get my smoker done and do one run of Summer Sausage. She really couldn’t argue, she got a nice new kitchen out of it… flooring… carpet (the only thing I hired out)… trim… paint… ufda!
Ron Steffens… I guess that my name doesn’t show up eh. : )
Feel free to call if you need anything else or if somewhere down the road I can do something for you. If I run into that old girlfriend of yours… mums the word!

Hey John… check out my 'Home away from Home. Built this myself while I was on the department in anticipation of ‘hunting’ my retirement away. I have 20 acres that borders National Forest… remote! She operates on Solar & Propane. In the spring & summer, it’s a 45 minute drive from town. Winter access as you can see requires ‘tracks’ but it’s a hell of a lot more fun getting there!

My son-in-law has the cabin, I have my 5th wheel up there. We only have six acres. Sometimes it would be nice to have tracks on the quad to hit the NF but they frown upon the use. Just a few trespassers we have daily.
One of our building projects as well, 30x30 pole shelter with kitchen and bathroom with shower.

Great cabin! Beautiful setting.Thanks… started her back in 2006. Took us about 4 years to get it ‘sorta’ ready, but my wife & I with our kids, have made it what we want… all these years later. I suspect anyone with a cabin will always say, ‘it’s not finished’, but in reality, that’s the truth… I can always find something to ‘tweak’!

Now, now… a man can’t ‘rent’ his girl out. lol But we certainly can show you a good time.

Back when I first came to Montana, there were no rules on running 4wheelers & motorcycles in the NF but all that changed. Have to admit though… they may have done us all a favor! You put a set of tracks on your 4wheeler and you’ll see just how much fun a guy can have in the snow… awesome! My project for the cabin this year will be to get my shower house done.
So, you have ‘critters’ too I see. Do you run any trail cameras? I have ten standard cameras and one cell camera. It’s amazing to ‘see’ just what critters are out there. It’s addicting!
Here are a couple of ‘catches’ I got this past year…

The neighbor had a problems with tweekers breaking into his containers and sheds, we have never had the problem, but we have cams. The other neighbors have cams too and have caught quite a variety of animals on them.
Shot of my 5th wheel and covered kitchen and bath area and the cabin under construction.

Looks like you have a ‘Get Away’ as do I. I’m about a mile off the dirt road and unless you ‘knew’ I was there, it just looks like more forest. Besides that, I’ve been told that ‘folks’ in the area refer to me as the ‘crazy old retired cop’… I think that’s because before I had tracks on my 4wheeler, I use to snowshoe in… 3-1/2 miles one way from the highway.
I strategically located my cell cam so as to ‘catch’ any unwanted visitors. I also have pay for ‘immediate’ uploads for/of any pics taken… $5 monthly… Reconyx! Pretty sure I could be there to ‘greet’ them before they could ‘avoid’ me… would not be pretty.
I’m excited to FINALLY do a batch of Summer Sausage. Won’t be long now thanks to you. Getting all my equipment lined out. Yes… pics to follow.
Later

things like this is why we are a community and not the ‘‘f’’ word. Makes me proud to be a part of it. And many thanks to Waltons for giving us a place to make it happen
