Been enjoying most all hunting and fishing since my first duck at 6. 68 now and slowing down. Have 7 grandkids and 5 of them are 8 or less. Most enjoy hunting and/or fishing though some are too preoccupied with sports activities and now the oldest has discovered girls. I much enjoy mentoring fishing...

Well done Sir.
Your grandkids and your daughter will cherish your efforts.
(And ain’t that what it’s all about!)

Blind looks great! (selfie not so much)
But, ultimate test is, is it ladybug proof?
Seriously though, the effort put forth in taking care of the old farts is a great thing. Well done Sir!

Love to slow smoke liverwurst links. When done, split the casing and slide out the best hash you’ve ever had!

Dukes is great! Especially on ham sandwiches, sausage egg n cheese sandwiches, etc and also fabulous as homemade tartar sauce with diced hot peppers with a touch of the pepper juice.

I have great respect for those who make their living, my daughter included, for enabling ever advancing technology. Without it, we’d still be walking or riding horses. However, the rapid and seemingly uncontrolled ascendancy of such just scares the hell out of me. Yes, I’m right now on my smart phon...

Agree with Chris, free political signs and garage sale signs everywhere all the time! Especially when the knuckleheads don’t pick them up afterwards.

I hate when that happens!
Maybe wrap up the leftovers and bake in oven for a few hours. Could be very tasty smoked roast beef, or BBQ beef, or even a smoked Mississippi pot roast!

Very interested in how that comes out. Always looking for something new to try on the Traeger!

Congratulations!

Or Missouri deer!

Gel is gel. Pigs are pigs. Deer are deer. If we want good results, we need crackheads. Real life human crackheads. Both medicated and non medicated. There’s a surplus in California. Reduces crackhead population, and gives real data not subject to boomerfudd lore and “my brother law one shot….” Seem...

Great stuff Ernie. Was out there in SD last week doggin with my usual crew of misfits. Wind wasn’t terrible and I was able to stay on my 204 for 3 days. We always hunt tribal but have a great guide for the last 15 years. As much fun as an old guy can have with his clothes on!

Always enjoy your reports and thanks for taking us along!

Old time spare ribs Grandpa style.

First of the season batch of pork sausage n kraut.

News is reporting a bombing at Oktoberfest?
All good over there?

I don’t have experience with one but no hate from me. Helluva deal I’d say and if no love, send it down the road for more $$.

Sirloin cabobs…….cause that’s what I had.

Just decrease temp to 180 or so but that will increase cook time of course.

I prefer skinless, light coating of olive oil and seasoned with Kinder’s Woodfired Garlic. 225 degrees for an hour or until IT of 135. Easy peasy and very good. Wife makes a dill sauce that’s perfect on it.

Homade deep dish meat lovers last night with black olives, onions and mushrooms added.

JSD, Just an FYI, as a retired electrician/facilities director, I surely do recommend an inspection of the entire house electrical system as well as hvac and plumbing. I mention this just going by the pics of the existing work in place, including the cloth wrapped electrical cable in your last pic....
