What did you accomplish today?

[whitebb2727]

Sweet!

Nothing like throwing 2-3 split hogs in the smoker.

I have an old oil tank in the basement the wife's been telling me to turn into a smoker. Might be a Spring project.

 

[Singlemalt]

I figure something like this. 500 gallon tank.

Yeah, I have an old water pressure tank(~100 gal) I've been thinking on doing up

Holy shit! You are an ambitious sort

I know guys where I used to live that would smoke 3-4 hogs a night and sell sandwiches the next day in parking lots. You would be amazed at the money they make. No one is doing it here. That and hit up all the festivals around the state in the fall.

I figured out a way to make saplings grow twisted. I made up about 2000 trees up this year and will do more each year. I figure sell bbq and walking sticks.

I want the smoke shack because no one here does real smoking of meats.

I got my ducks in a row and if I bust my ass for another 5-7 years I wont have to hit a lick again. I'll be free to spend time with the kids, hunt and fish.

It's always good to have a plan. +rep

 

[curious2garden]

Cool! Another coat of paint makes them last longer too. My next upgrade is a thermal blanket for holding heat while smoking during the winter months.

I love my egg

With no mention my mind reverted..

What is "hitting a lick" where your from?

"Hit a lick" here can mean several things. Generally it refers to making money somehow, be it by work or hustle.


It is also used as a term for how hard one worked. "I hit a pretty good lick yesterday." Same phrase if it were a scratch off ticket.

 

[Singlemalt]

Interesting, it's similar here but more oriented towards the act of working: "I didn't do a lick today"

I just had to clean up the biggest pile of dog puke I've ever seen. Not even sure what it was. I think my dog ate a trespasser last night.

Not a bad trade off, one less trespasser for a pile of puke..

I don't think I ever hit a lick.

I have licked up a few hits though

Most of my house is tile or laminate flooring, he had to do it in the one carpeted room.

youre a nomad.. you travel around, and still find a place to hang your punching bag. i would not fuck with you

haha, if you can't take time to do what you enjoy, what's the point.

 

[John Kitchen]

Seemed like the birds were gettin into it too. very nice music

Thanks man, Its a beautiful drum, really relaxing/meditative to play

 

[John Kitchen]

Is that you? I could totally see burning one with you and trying to learn to do that.

That is me.

Getting high and playing this drum is a spiritual experience.. I recommend it!
