It was a smaller shoulder and finished off at 4AM. Let it rest for 3 hrs and pulled. Lunch is at 2. Who’s in?

I’m honor of our Independence, I’m keeping the smoker going all weekend. First up time to restock my bacon. 🥓 On now, pork shoulder for Saturday picnic

I use it for our Ridgeline and Passport. My son brings his Tacoma over. No issues with any of them. Bonus is when I am working in the barn and need a work bench or some way to get things elevated. Just raise the lift and you’re in business.

Removed the suspension seat off the B3200. It was too high and too little suspension. Back to the factory config and parts I will never use on the shelf

I like it. Very solid when extended. Mobility is limited. Lots of weight to drag with a handle. I’m gonna anchor it in this week and make it permanent

Time for getting an edge back on the blades

Does your B3200 have a FEL? I did bucket hooks on mine and with a chain, pull straight up. Ballast is your friend as well loaded tires, front weights and FEL are great ways to add more punch to the pull. Watch with pulling via the drawbar especially if that force is more down than straight. I...

I struggled getting a concrete footer out for an old flag pole. Lots of digging and no real good purchase to chain it. Eventually got it with a lot of mess. I replaced it with another concrete footer but this time I took a 4” eye bolt and put a big fender washer on it and inserted it in to the...

Just like making a broth. Throw everything in and let it cook, pull it all out, cool and let it ferment for a few weeks. Not sure I would do it with beef broth but yeah. Very similar concepts

Technically I cooked this but it is my 2017 Christmas Stout. Pulled it out of the basement and chilled it down. Excellent. You can clearly taste the ginger, orange, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bright and clean

Crazy and even with the crowds not a single person was rude or left trash. They even stayed out of the fields in the area I was in.

A lot less mud today even with .7 rain yesterday. Great day to burn a stick, listen to some tunes and mow

Caught it in Continental OH this morning. Estimated to be 7500 people who dropped by to see it. Further East in Fostoria they estimated 20,000 were out to see it. It will be heading back July 15. I’m gonna head up and see if I can’t get some better shots

Headed up to Continental OH this morning to catch the UP Big Boy on its way east. Hell of a machine. Got my good side with my Grandson checking her out.

Herbs are exploding. Time for some grilled chicken rubbed with fresh herbs, garden salad and sourdough focaccia drizzled with a fresh chimichurri (not pictured because I ate it too fast).
