What did you accomplish today?

[Grandpapy]

I managed to drive from imperial beach (3 miles form Mexico) to the top of the grapevine in 2 1/2 hours!

I had to put it in writing. It's a first for me not getting stuck in traffic thru LA.

Oh, I also had Duck tacos at my sons wedding today!
The wedding and the Tacos were perfect!
....a very proud papa to say the least.

bought this smoker/grill a couple years ago and I finally put it together at the start of this summer. i had never smoked anything before this year as ive always just grilled, which this thing is amazing at as well. needless to say, ive smoked about everything possible over the summer. brisket is next on the list.

6 lb chicken 3.5 hours@ 225-250(still learning to dial it in) brought temp up to 155, rested to 162. made with some heart-attack taters and some fresh green beans from the garden. so damn good. may not buy a rotisserie from the store ever again.

Since we're staying farming for a while longer I have to build more shelters for the animals. I'm up to over 50 head of cattle now.

Started framing a 14x24' hut made out of telephone poles, I need to pick up more material this week to finish it.

indeed. totally regret not putting it to use sooner. eyeing the xxl(biggest) to replace my 10 yo jenn-air gas as it doesnt have anything on the egg, at close to the same price. although id have to make a stand for it, just cant see myself dropping a grand on just a table for it.

you selling any beef yet? lol

I wish, we only have veal right now.

It's been a good year for BBQing, we had a cow butchered beginning of Summer and it's almost gone already, even the hamburger.

 

[dangledo]

Put up curtains over living room bays...and then realized the curtains hang right against a shelf we put up in there...had to unscrew 2 screws and then pull it straight out. 13 brad nails...2 of them angled.

So joint compound, primer, 3 coats of paint over a 33" long 3" wide area on wall. Got 4th coat on minutes ago. Put shelf back up tomorrow, 4" to the right this time.

 

[420God]

Picked up 2 loads of hay today, getting ready for winter. Had to pick it up off the field then stack it in the barn. I'm gonna feel it tomorrow.

 

[Indagrow]

I meet some gnarly dudes racing, lots of hunters and ugly girlfriends... But the meat they bring around is choice.

Had some bear chops shit was insanely good, it's because they eat honey and hang out with Christopher Robbin

That's all I really know about bears

I accomplished a lay in this morning until 10 am. I did this by waking up my neighbours at 1am to ensure they also had a lay in. I rang their doorbell when I took the dog out. Seemed to work well.

Cheeky fuckers keep going to bed early (which for a while encouraged me to go to bed early) but unfortunately they drag furniture on their floor/our ceiling at 8am- even on a Sunday.

So I was without any choice, either go to bed at their time or they go to bed at mine. I've already missed enough RIU because of them and need to get my priorities in order now.

Of course I sent my BF upstairs on a Sunday morning the other week to ask them to stop and they pretended they weren't doing anything..

Drilling next..

Spent most of yesterday cutting and chopping wood (@Aeroknow splitters are great but I have a beer gut I'm tryin to lose haha)

Gonna stack it and chop some more.

Then I PLAN on running about 20 pounds of trim through bubble bags. Really wish I was as cool as @doublejj and had a cement mixer to do it through. Dude is my hero.

Right on dude!

I've been trying to lose my beer gut by busting my ass too. Currently building up a fellow riu members new garage grow room. Problem is, I consume shitloads of beer while building growrooms

I put one of those car door cup holders on my lawn mower so I can down a super cold while I'm mowing

Was at the ex's last night, she was too drunk to do anything other than sit and listen to music. So I made stuffed figs for dinner. Easy and very tasty:
16 whole figs
crumbled gorgonzola (5 oz) and mascarpone (5 oz)
2 large cloves garlic
8oz pack of prosciutto
Fresh black pepper

from stem end, butterfly the figs so they are hinged. Mix up all the cheeses and diced garlic and pepper. Put a dollop of the cheese mix in each fig, close them, cut prosciutto into ribbons and wrap around the figs to keep them closed. Grill on BBQ for around twenty min. They were really good.
Sorry, no pics, I was a bit less drunk
