YooperDog we’ll tip one together… Salute… Prost Comrade, Prost, Prost !!! 3 ltr imports fm a foreign country (Canada)

kyle You’re so right. My children are in their 50’s. Yep, I’ll disappear but the Dad stories they brag about will be with them for a long time to come. Never too late to do something special with or for them. You get old too soon and smart too late.

GWG8541 You disrupted her indoctrination with fact OMG… I had a dietitian tell me i eat too much meat and should only have 3-4 oz a week. With a straight face, and eye to eye ,I pointed out my eye teeth and said " God gave me these to rip flesh… And my Dad said use it or loose it Son" She canceled all future appointments… I’m soooo misinformed, and soooo dumb i truly believe I’m smart. I’m sure the Dietitian will eventually recover

craigrice good advice. Bigger and more expensive doesn’t always make better. As an Engineer my overused response is that it’s always broke till you learn how to use it

@ndmike When I think back On all the c-r-a-p I learned in high school It’s a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of education Hasn’t hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall… Reminds me of a song past Paul Simon 1968

GWG8541 There are two ways to win an argument with your wife… Neither one works

Mschmidt I’ve had my hands in sausage batter for 65+years. Sausage should taste and have the texture as you remember it. Polish, Chorizo, Andouille, Italian, are just a few with a course grind 1/4-5/8". Hotdogs, Brats, Bockwurst, White Wurst, and alike are a fine grind… 1/16-1/4" maybe double grind. I don’t double grind. For me 1/8" mixed well w/100gm water and 1 egg white for a binder per kg for stuffing and texture is the way i like it. Remember the history of sausage… The Romans didn’t carry around a grinder into battle, on horseback. Many countries after wwI, wwII were just happy to have meat, and spices dominate in their country/location. I saw many Great tasting sausages hand cut and stuffed by hand with thumb in horn. What did the great world-wide sausage makers do before electricity? This is your sausage, and you have the great privilege of also eating all your mistakes. To each their own Sausage Warrior… Cheers

Just an old man’s breakfast Angus prime, eggs and hash browns. A few pics of my collectables. 3lt Crown on the left.

Sunday afternoon grill. Bockwurst, Bratwurst, and Polish sausage. All were stuffed and Vac frozen months ago. Tried SV today, 140*, 4hrs, started frozen. Poached great, 5 min on the super hot grill. Great taste. This is how i will be poaching my Hotdogs, and Brats, after vac packing before freezing in the future. Little runt sausages are for the BBQ watching dog

GWG8541 I get misty whenever i here Taps and a 21 gun salute. Thank you for your thoughts Brother

Today is Armed Forces day, and Monday 30 May 2022 will be Memorial Day. I am posting this for all who served, and remembering those that never had the opportunity to take off their uniform.
“A Soldier”
I was that which others did not want to be.
I went where others feared to go. And did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness, should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear, and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment’s love.
I have cried, pained, and hoped, but most of all I have lived times others would say were best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say I was proud of what I was…

Jonathon , yes spent 8yrs in Europa, 4 years in the orient, and a few places others would rather not be. They are all actual helmets used in our wars, and worn by soldiers in combat. wwI, wwII, Korean, RVN, and Desert Shield / Storm mixed with a few grenades, and anti aircraft rounds. A worthy note are the Kiss your a*s goodbye rounds in the Helmet camo bands in case capture was inevitable… 5.56 & 7.62 Cheers
