Ohh ok , here where I live we call those mudder fuckers.


I do my own finishing so I'm not dealing with that stuff . Do you have the porter cable power vac rotary sander , it sure cuts down on the dust when remolding or working in occupied offices
By trade I’m a traditional plasterer and have a machine for external rendering, just helping a mate out as just got a few plots that need patching, I’m over in the uk so trying to word it for an American audience is quite hard haha

Son of a bitch, wind blew over one of my top heavy tom plants.

Had to string them up, lost mobility now.

On the bright side, I have 6 green tomatoes that fell off. Never had fried green toms but we're about to later this evening.

I have to get bigger container pots for next year. Not the first time one flipped.
slice em, dip em in buttermilk, then cornmeal. they're good, but not everyone likes them.

I have a couple beefsteak varieties that popped up in random spots around the yard that I'm not tying up, just letting them run on the ground. I knocked off a couple green ones yesterday and made relish with them, which I've never done before. Minced them with onion, then salt, pepper, dill, red pepper flakes , vinegar. I didn't have any bell pepper or I woulda minced that in too. Let it sit a few hours. It's pretty good, and something different.

Spent the better part of the week excavating for a neighbor and got paid in cow. He gave me an entire cow. I got to pick it and send it to its doom. My son didn't immediately get that the cow was coming home with us in freezer wrap, not a halter. He wanted to name the cow.

I suggested we go with "Chuck"....

I told the packers to cut me a couple of nice 7-bone roasts out of the chuck before they ground it all. I've never had one but apparently it's a cut that used to be more common but takes so long to cook, people have lost interest. The flat iron steak is cut from one of the muscles in the 7-bone roast and now that butchers strip that muscle for sale as steak, it's become the most valuable piece of the entire chuck... so you won't likely find a 7-bone roast in the store ever again. Goofy as all this sounds, I'm looking forward to cooking one of those roasts. I thought I'd had cow every way cow could be had.
We have an actual butcher close by and when I want something I can call him and within a day or so he will have it. He actually knew what cut Picanha was (culotte steak).

Gonna decarb some trim first @ 240 then throw on a loin for a few hours

Maybe candy some bacon before the loin. Still not quite sure.

I'll decide over some coffee. High of 79 today so I'm gonna enjoy hanging outside with little man while wifey gets some pool time. :leaf:
I'm considering heading to the commissary and picking up a brisket LOL I love watching what comes off your egg.

Spent the most of the morning cleaning up oil from my driveway. Then I got the brakes bled on my yard truck. Had to go buy some fuel line and an air filter and they don't have the books out anymore by the filters, so I had to stand in line for 15 fucking minutes waiting for someone to help me. I ask the guy to look up a cross reference part # and he just stares at me. Then the guy wants to know what vehicle. I tell him it's custom and just look up Motorcraft FA-50 and get me whatever, cheap, corresponding one they have in stock. He figures out how to look it up and they don't have it, but their other store down the street does. So now I'm pissed i had to wait so long for something i should've been able to figure out in under a minute. Then he tries getting me to pay for it there, then go pick it up. Why the fuck would I do that? Shit shouldn't be this fucking difficult.:wall: I'm gonna go huff some gas..i mean plumb a fuel system.

Lost an 8+ lber right at the boat. I fucked up. Usually when we’re battling a big one like that i order the other rods up and downriggers up. Fucking beast broke off on the DR line. Sucks
I just released an 8lber ..... didn't have to long to look at it though.... It's my kids B-Day and I can only stay in the bathroom so long when the in laws are here. Back out I go.......
