Good Morning!

[LindellProStaf]

It is still -8.3 here and the wind is picking up from the north.  Might not do much outside today.....  That's right football today too.   

That is exactly what I wonder LBBG.  Another thing to have to store.  I will have to see how much they are.  We are trying to rationalize it.  Maybe do bananas and some other things????  

[lovebigbluegills]

Go Bison!!!

[Boar]

smoke barry, smoke it!

[LindellProStaf]

Ya thought about that too.  So dam cold out I am not sure how well it would work...  

[Boar]

if the smoker is insulated or outa the wind it will be fine, dont take long to smoke jerkey.

[LindellProStaf]

True..  Maybe I will plug in the frig smoker and see how hot it gets.  Or could do the pellet smoker.  How hot should I try to get for jerky?

[Boar]

In these temps i push for 150-170, thin trips of veny dont take long to absorbe smoke and heat, my batches usually take about 3 hrs.

Yep morning all. Felt good to sleep in, pooch woke me bout 5:30 let him out got the coffee going let him in and he jumped back in bed with ma, he's no dummy. Nice and quiet until 7:30 when the rest of the house woke up,  got the local paper read, the outdoor news read, perfect me time. Have a good day fellas. .

[LindellProStaf]

Looks like about 160 will do.

[Boar]

if your unsure if its done give it a little more time, its jerkey, thats why i use a meat slicer to get all pieces pretty much the same thickness, when 1-2 ore done its all done. tke a peice out and cut it up 

[LindellProStaf]

will do.  see ya in your jerky thread.

I slept til 845am since after hockey last night we watched a movie til 130, which is uncannily rare for me.  Hockey game at 2pm, pondering what to make for a post game/football meal right now.  Wife yelled at me when I was posting the talk Boar and I are savant thing on the jerky thread because I was "on the outdoor blog" again.  I kindly asked her what I should be doing instead on a -5 degree winter morning while I drank coffee.  Maybe I should start doing meth instead?

I'm thinking of making something I've never made today but can't figure what that may be.  I think anything rotisserie is out, kind of cold.

Yeah, my wife thinks I'm weird for all the time on spend on here, too - yet she'll play Candy Crush on her phone for hours on end. At least what we do on here is constructive - mostly.

Was gonna do venny sticks today and tomorrow, but I think I'll wait for things to warm up a bit.

Yeah, but I don't blame her.  Sometime you need something to just numb your mind.  Especially for having to put up with the relentless, merciless barrage of my dry humor and "dad" jokes.

[leechlake]

candy crush...my wife too.  I've never put a game on my phone.  I do let one rip and lock the windows though sometimes just to bug her.  It's hard to play candy crush when your eyes are watering I guess.

[Boar]

how bout judge judy??

[leechlake]

House Hunters and Love it or List it.  Way worse...

Haha, you too huh? And lock the windows for a bit. They love that!!!! My wife is a candy crush junky too.

Good Morning even if it's afternoon already.  Don't pay much attention when the grandkids are here.    That's been our morning.  Started off though with hash browns and eggs.  Have to make Canadian bacon again.  I think Cubs is going to have half boneless loins on sale next week for 1.99 lb.  I'll try to watch some football between that and the kids.  Going to make Reb's caviar also along with Kris's dip [ jalapeno jelly and cream cheese].  My wife is into that Candy Crush also, not me.  good luck.

Good morning Gentelmen, good morning smurf, reb, LL. just having my morning cup of tar and contemplating where to start today, Vikes paly at noon so thats cool, gonna start smomeing the worlds best jerkey soon, so thats gonna be fun, i sure do loves me to smome. Surprised the heck outa me, wife went grocery shoping yesterday, and actually brought home most of my request including a Pork loin, which is now going to be brined into C-Bacon for eelpout fest. Wish I could have it done for ice-a-palooza in two weeks but its just not gonna happen. Carry on guys, GO VIKES!!

[leechlake]

Watched "Concussion" last night and ended up staying up too late so I slept too late and as I type this I bet I have a frowny tired face.  Well I better turn that frown upside down!  I don't know Bobby Bass but I just thought of him because I saw he posted something on "our 'cooking'" thread the other day.  Glad he's up to that, so I start the day for a morning prayer for BB, his family, and his health...may as well throw in anyone reading this, I and you know who you are (had to say the prayer for a moment).

Heading to the hockey rink, back just in time for Vikes game and some chow.  LL Jr. has an 8 game goal scoring streak going.  He's all about the team so he isn't a selfish player so the streak is kind of cool and he's never had one like this.  

Great day looming on the horizon.
