Now I know what happens when you mix Oregon member with California member you end up with...  "No time schedule, just sleep, eat, fish, shoot targets and bullshit." When you mix Oregon and Idaho Members you end up with work, work, work, "Oh where does this go?" plink down the intercooler tube it goes on someones black Dodge with a camper...

 

Seriously JAG1 you know I'm yankin' your chain nice and hard there...

And it was a good thing I brought my hip waders because the BS was deep and flowed freely from everyone around the campfire. .

 I ran all out of b.s.

all the houses in the area have attached garage on the side of the house....well except me, not garage ugh.  I am guessing the path is just to a back gate.  The back fence is not original to the house.

 

 

 

In other news, I think I might have a pack rat living on my desk and using my tools........

 

Seriously though, if the shop currently looked like that, I'd be asking "who did the tidying?"

Thanks for the invite! I'm still trying to convince the wife that trailer camping is the way to go so after our trip in August, we'll see how she feels and maybe we'll make a trip down that way!

Make a dog leg over here into Idaho and I can show you a few good spots to camp too.

 

I know its not for everyone but learn how to boondock with your RV. Makes traveling really enjoyable, finding different places to camp for the night and not having to pay high prices for RV parks and campgrounds. What I find troubling is the high price you have to pay at some RV parks for slot of dirt with only water and power hook ups. Some of them are nearly the same price as a hotel room which at least I get a maid and my room cleaned.

               But you can't make a camp fire in the room and they're not pet friendly.

A lot of times we don't know the area or I'm pulling doubles so we'll pull into a roadside rest area, truck stop or big box shopping area.  Dry camp there but no camp fires.

two butts and 6 qts of The Sauce cooking while i catch up on some car maintenance.  yes.  the old grill is on its last legs.  

I usually do dry camp. Daniel had to have full hooks cause he runs his fifth wheel like a gourmet restaurant.

 

CSM, one day everyone is going to show up at Mikes house, the way he keeps talking and we'll need that equipment  to feed everyone.

Old grills are seasoned and give the best taste.    

 I was looking at buying a grill/cooker like the one on the right in your pic.  How do you like it?  

Coming back from the rain forest of Idaho... Just thick brush and grass, and ferns... All I'm doing is checking the water flow to our dam as well as the neighbors system and balancing the water between us.

 

Can't even see my trail its so thick...

 

Don't even see the foot trail any longer... Totally grown over.

 

I've got a good load of water and 118 PSI down here at the house.

Nice to see that happening. Thanks.

this one was on sale at lowes for 200.  its an oklahoma joes and i like it.  its a good conpromise between heavy duty and practical to move by hand.  the metal is thick enough to weld on if necessary.  

 

i like it a lot for the money.  

Heres a sauce recipe i use.  Its from The_Camp_Ninja on ar15.com.  If you can, cook it outside.  its like napalm in the house.  

 

Years ago, I used to be active on a USENET (remember THAT?) BBQ board, and occasionally i would make some and give it away free to the first few responders, kinda like I do Dead shows 'round here. I had one old boy who bought it by the gallon from me for a while, after I sent him some. It's THAT good. Like I said, it's 3 generations old, which means it came to us via "the help", in the "Old South", if you follow me. This was my wife's Great G.mama's "help", and from what I understand, they were great folks. The recipe has NEVER deviated from the family, until now. This is the only way I can rid myself of it! I've been with you fine folks for a LONG time, have made many good friends here, and want to share it here. Sorry for making such a big deal about a damned sauce, but it *really* is a big deal. When you make it, you will see. It is primarily a marinade, but can be used on ANYTHING. Pulled pork is especially delicious with it drizzled on top. Put it on your white rice. Hell, all your veggies! Once cooked, it keeps FOREVER, and like fine wine, actually improves with age. Dip meats in it. Marinate with it. Put it on sammiches. Cook with it. The possibilities are, indeed, endless. So, now I'll shut up and give it to you. The only thing I won't give you is the name it has always been called, that stays with us. You can just call it damned good! 

"The Sauce" 

*1 Large can of Tomato juice, and two "small ones", unsalted, if you can get it. 
*6 Quarts of apple cider vinegar. 
*1 Lb. salt. 
*1/2 Lb. black pepper. 
*2 Tsp. cayenne pepper. 
*4 Tbsp. ground clove. 
*8 Tsp. ground allspice. 
*4 Lb. brown sugar. 

Now, here's the important part: ya gotta cook it. At least 6 hours, overnight is the preferred method. Mix it all together, and cook it. At the end, it should be about a 1/3 reduction. Bring it to a boil, then simmer 'till done. Take care not to scorch it, this will ruin your batch. It should reduce to about 65% original volume.
