What did you accomplish today?

Yeah, I was just wondering since you are in Mass., it may freeze in the garage. It's too warm here in Calif for long hangs; when I used to hunt, we'd hang for maybe 2 hrs max. Most were processed by end of day early evening
We would hang just the hind quarters to tenderize them a bit for a few days. It was up at about 3500 feet, so it didn't get that warm (usually) during the day. We'd put a game bag on them during the day to keep the flies off them, and uncover at night to get a skin on the meat.

Thought this might be an old thread but I see it’s up to date. I harvested a six point buck, he’s hanging in the garage, I will be butchering him myself. The price of meat is outrageous, not to mention the chemicals. Wifey and I eat great all winter. Now, butcher paper and Saran Wrap.

This is just a hobby for me so some might say the financing is complicated, I will just say some things go through committee, some are presented as "this is what I am doing", while others just get done off the books. The epoxy was off the books.
Sums up how the garden works here. She's pretty cool about it. All she cares about is variety.
She helped me trim 1/3 of the first plant I harvested. Seems like forever ago. Her neck was fucked up for 4 days. It's been "don't ask, don't tell" ever since. She's looked at our garden less than five times.


Work was miserable. Soaker rain, falling temps and then snow. 20191107_104920(1).jpg

Residential gets away with allot. The fucking shit’s been around along time and it works good

The thing is, i’m a union lather by trade. 19 vested years got in in ‘92. View attachment 4415811View attachment 4415813We are THE metalstudframers and lots of other stuff like drywall and lath. We are called drywall/lathers. Do you get my email name now? Lol.

Residential gets away with so much shit that commercial doesn’t. I treated the shop like i would any other building. This pic of the front

I could have just ran those four veritcle expansion joints off the heads of the 10’x10’ garage doors, and one more above the man door. But i’m weird as fuck and put a bunch of verticles. The house will be different like i said, these are 12’ high walls.



This is a shot of the eaves. That fire safe soffit vent is $100 a stick. But just also showing how weird i am with me adding expansion joint to the lid. It’s 50’ long so best to break it up :-)

Same here. I watched the KCRA special last night on it. The guy that cleared out 200+ residents of the retirement trailer park is a saint, he even created a non profit to find trailers for the homeless from the fire, and relocated a bunch of people cross country on his dime. I needed Kleenexes.

Dental checkup and cleaning this morning. Last night I had a nightmare that I was brushing my teeth, when I was moving my tongue on my front teeth I noticed one was wiggly then it fell into the sink :shock: I woke right up and had to check the mirror to make sure it was still there lol. I've never had a bad experience at a dentist and they still freak me out a bit.

Noooo, you don’t want heat. A deer should hang a minimum of 24-30 hours, or ideally 4-7 days, with some hunters go for two weeks. The temp here is 25 at night, low 40’s during day. The short hang allows for the muscles to relax, certain bacteria to die off. Longer hangs for more tender meat. If it’s too warm, the deer will be quartered and put in a spare fridge, and butchered at leisure.
Gotta be really careful not to jar to early or you risk mold, to late and you never get rid of that hay smell :eyesmoke:

I'm off to LA today to take my dog to the dentist for his cleaning. He tartars up a lot so he has to go every 4 months. This DVM does awake cleanings. It's wonderful but dentists freak him out too. I buy him a dried salmon skin treat to help him have a positive association with the trip.
