Thanks to you, we are having pork sausage tonight. Still haven't bought the casings but have been starting off simple.
Like you told me, its kind of fun and for the cost tastes a lot better. Hope to be making Landjäger before the end of the year.

Did laundry, started taxes (put all papers in a pile), collected all the garbage and drank a whole pot of coffee. That's got to be enough for one day.

Good evening ladies, Gents and Canadians...

had a good day, I bought anew toy a couple weeks ago and it finally got delivered:

Name:  012-2.jpg
Views: 20
Size:  60.3 KB
20HP Simplicity Legacy Ultrasub-compact with a Kwikway detachable loader, 60" dozer blade, 3PTH, and a few accessories... gonna make cleaning the horse pens out much much easier...

Same place had a returned Generac 3100psi washer, brand new.. the guy returned it because the qt of oil they ship with them had broke in shipping, staining the plastic parts of the washer....

Now I just need a decent chainsaw and Ill be set for the chores coming this year....

Cool! That should be a lot more fun than a hand shovel.

The last few things I bought including my Subaru Outback (4.2 qt) use weird amounts of oil.
Generator 1.6 gt, weed wacker 355 cc etc. Glad I mark the shipping bottle with the level prior to using it. Makes it easier to change the oil.

Isuzu 4ZE1 in the Amigo takes 5.2 qt.
4.3 in the Chevy I wrecked took 4 1/2.
I bet the new hemi takes the same 5 qt (or maybe less) that the 96 Plymouth 4-banger I had took.

Jr won Daytona. Like that he won, but not that it was a Hendrick car. For a few laps there I thought they were gonna have to wreck jj or jg to get a chance at Jr. A guy at the bar bet $105 (all he had in his pocket) that Kyle Bush would finish top 5. Almost. Another 1/2 mile and he would have. ended up on pit lane facing the wrong way so he finished the race in reverse.

Wish I could come across a deal on something like that.


I wish I wasn't so dang hungry all the time. I swear I could slap a steer on the grill and eat the thing, hooves, hair, and all!

I think you probably had B.S. before you got your degree!

You're heading to the doctor but you need to talk to ME? Contrary to popular belief around here, I do NOT do colonoscopy's or hernia exams. Sorry, you'll still have to see your doctor.



Morning all.

It is Monday, February 24th.

1803 - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled itself to be the final interpreter of all constitutional issues.

Speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.

Good thing you didn't say speak to the president of the United States the same as the garbage man. I wouldn't use that launage with the garbage man.

Good on ya, Chris! new equipment makes my heartbeat faster!

yup, RR1- our high today beats yesterday's low overnight temp. glad I did not tap the trees yet. high of 0 degrees Wednesday....winter's last stand or the Medal Winning Canucks sharing .....

found some items requested by folks. have to get them pretty.
had a green tiger try to come in the house last night, our cat chased it about
400 yards away. guess that tosses the 'pet cat' idea out.
saw a huge cat with multiple toes on all four feet. about equal to my five digit hand....

Good afternoon DTR'onians, I have a day off today but it won't be a day of leisure. Dog has already been to the groomer and is back home and now it is time to take DW shopping - she needs some retail therapy to overcome winter blues and cabin fever. Mother Nature is kicking our butts again, it was -27F when I got up this morning and it has only warmed up a couple of degrees. I really need to fix our garage door opener (it has a couple of stripped gears) but the garage isn't heated and the parts I need to work on are really small. That job is going to have to wait until it warms up a little bit. It is times like this that I cherish my boring office job. Calving season starts soon up here and I do not envy the farmers who have to spend hours outside feeding, calving etc.

Have a good afternoon all y'all. Play safe and stay warm (Stan and FiverBob - no commentary from the roasted peanut gallery is necessary).

[QUOTE=Tallguy67;3226423]Good afternoon DTR'onians, -27F when I got up this morning and it has only warmed up a couple of degrees. I really need to fix our garage door opener (it has a couple of stripped gears) but the garage isn't heated and the parts I need to work on are really small. That job is going to have to wait until it warms up a little bit. [QUOTE]


good, someone else that has decided the living room instead of fixing something.

sean, here's a slice of fresh pork roast with pickling mix on top, roasted slow for five hours.....applesauce, coleslaw and fresh green beans mmmmm
blizzard on hill, sun and clear in the flats (local town).

made a point announcing my irritation with my mail being opened, in front of the suspect. locking up my mail while the tenant can get his. one facet of elderly pleasure, going out to get the mail.......his 'caretaker' can read something else.

Afternoon all.

Took Jake to the vets this AM for on-going but getting worse gastric problems. Have to starve him today so he can have a blood draw tomorrow AM first thing. Poor little guy doesn't understand this 'no food' stuff one bit. I'm starving with him so he doesn't smell what he can't have.
