“I’m a happy man and look at every new day as a gift.”

That is an outstanding attitude and only way to live this little journey we call life. Every day we wake up we make a choice on whether or not we are going to be happy or not. I try my best not to let a situation or other people decide my happiness for me. You have it figured out, and thanks for the motivation and reminder, because that choice happens for each of us every day.

Keeping life in perspective helps immensely when dealing with what we perceive are “problems” in life.
You usually don’t have to look very far to find someone with real problems that make our “problems” look pretty insignificant in comparison.

Dave in AZ We just kind of tolerate the smell since we all eat and like it.
We do have a basement refrigerator that is used for meat, brewing, canning projects. Unwanted flavor aroma crossover has not been an issue so far.
Kim Chi is never is around long enough to worry about long term storage. lol

bigpapa21 Welcome to the group.
Smoked fish is just wonderful stuff.

Remembering the smoked whitefish and smoked chubs we used to get around the holidays.

Jonathon enjoy the potatoes. They’ll taste great with the crow

Well said, Sir!

I think cures are one product that probably have the longest shelf life.
Consider that for most cures, the predominant ingredients are salt, nitrite and sugar. None of these really spoil and if vacuum packaged and stored in a cool dry location, they should have a very long shelf life. Probably the biggest concern I would have is storing them where they can absorb the flavor and smells of other nearby food items.

Spices and seasonings are a little different. I think the intensity of the flavor and aroma of spices diminishes over time, although their life can be prolonged by vacuum sealing and storing in a cool dark place.

Sounds like a great property with a lot of potential. Enjoy the thrill of making plans and having them all come together for you and your family.

mdseaside Those look like good sticks!

WVTim I could use the log splitter too. I bought a Ranch in the mountains an will have to burn wood to stay warm because I only have electricity to the property.

Have you looked into having a propane tank put on the site? We thought about wood heat at our cabin and then thought about the times we are only there for the day and not wanting to leave an untended fire after leaving and no one is around. Got a propane heater and never looked back.

Jonathon I’m not sure you get to make many demands about it. If you lose, your life will be in my hands… bwhahahahaa!

As it should be. To the Victor…

Congratulations Bob! Nice!
