What are you doing at work right now?
 
I'm crashing a night shift for overtime. Thank god! Hours have been like 36 a week and I used to get 50-60 whenever i wanted.

Anyways, crashing down a 24oz. MONSTER, and persevering on.

1. There are no Hot chicks in this hospital. All old and worse-> FAT.

2. They may be trying to block my miata sites. some filter thing keeps popping up.

3. I'm trying to survive on monster, deer jerky, ostrich jerky and some pickel chips I traded a nurse some jerky for.:laugh: I don't seem to be nausous yet.

jerky > pickle chips, the nurse owned you on that trade.

I still have like 4 sticks of jerky on the table.

I actually bought over $900 worth of jerky for $217.00. it had expired the sell date. Whatever, jerky doesn't expire in one day. LOL

I smiled all the way home on that deal. The ranchers used to travel 3 months across country with the junk in barrels and leather sacks. This stuff is plastic vaccum sealed. It isn't bad. me and my friends have been chowing for a week, all smiles.

In the deal it was actually exotic jerky's. i got like 500 sticks of various, kangaroo, ostrich, pheasent, alligator, antelope, Buffalo,etc. with others.

We always eat beef, chicken fish, pork here in the US. I like to try new foods when I go new places. I think it broadens you.

Different places eat different meats on the norm...... It is nice to see what other meats, we normally don't have available, taste like.

These jerkies aren't really and good choice for that since they have beef mixed in with them, along with a tone of seasoning.

But atleast i know what the other jerkies taste like.:laugh:


Yea, I will eat almost any kind of meat. And no i don't want to try dog or cat. Even though my Viet. friend say it is good. LOL

As you can tell I'm a hunter and will try just about any game that is clean.

NA6C-Guy 11-03-2009 08:37 AM

Thats a bunch of fucking jerky! I need to get another couple of deer loins from my friend and make some deer jerky. Last batch I made, which was way too long ago was kick ass. Soaked the little strips in my secret mix of sauces and seasonings then hung each piece on toothpicks (LONG JOB!) and hung those on my over racks and let them sit overnight on the lowest setting. The ends of the jerky with the thin tips got slightly crispy, which was the best parts. Seems like only 2 small loins made like 3 gallon zipper bags FULL of jerky. This time I'm going for a super batch, maybe 4 or 5 loins.

Game meat > Most store bought beef, pork and chicken

Also on this topic, the best piece of meat I have EVER had was a deer loin cooked in the pressure cooker like a roast. My god it had the perfect flavor and was fall apart on your fork tender. i will do another one of those too if I can find the loins. I guess I could just go get my own, but I'm too lazy to go hunting these days.

Wheee.

After two weeks of mid semester exams (round two for most classes) I am enjoying a lax day at the house.

I should have gone to work to pick up a few hours...but instead hung out with my daughter this morning. She's been "helping" me turn wrenches...and we just wrapped up my coolant reroute. Pretty good day.

About to chow and get back to the books.

Met with my UPS rep this morning and talked some things over about my account. Now I'm setting up an account on freightquote.com to start shipping some larger items. So far the shipping department of things is the hardest part of getting this business off the ground. Almost there though. :)

Next in line is finish my logo and have my business cards made up and finalize my contract and invoices. I plan on taking a break at some point today though to make the ceiling cat for my gf. :)

I'm following a lowboy tractor-trailer transport carrying a road milling machine out to a jobsite. My customer is going to eat up some asphalt roadway with it for a couple of days.

If I spent any time in the office, I'd want a ceiling kitty, too. It looks computer generated. I'd like to know how to make one for the wife to take to work if you can direct me to where to find info on making one. Vielen Danke.

Earlier I was surfing OT on NASIOC. Really nice post by Whitford about the F1 at Abu Dhabi. I couldn't see the ton of pics he posted, but everyone raved about them. So I asked if he was there on business or pleasure.

Later on he said he was with his dad. His dad was the closing act for the F1 stuff. Huh...must be a big name guy.

Ffwd to later posts....turns out his dad is Brad Whitford from Aerosmith. Had to look him up. Edited his post on Wikipedia for a bit. :giggle:

Drilling and tapping a 5/8-11 hole 1.63" deep, induction hardening a 4dp gear, hobbing a 6dp gear, and shaping a 16/32dp spline. The half hour lunch I'm having right now is kinda the eye of the storm these days.

This is the one I got at work this morning. By the time I went to vote, then sat in traffic after they rolled out the road construction crews (after 9 am) I arrived too late to get a regular parking space. Doesn't cost me anything for valet here, but it creates a mild pain in my ass because I have to drop what I'm doing to go pick up my keys by 6:00, or else hike clear across campus to get them from the main office.

Today: Catching up on eMail and other associated mundane tasks before leaving on another business trip. (The travel voucher was filed yesterday...)

Last week: Setting up a mobile (suitcase 1800 system with portable antenna) cell-phone network and four (4) multichannel radio networks in support of a US Marine Corps training exercise in the deserts of SE California and SW Arizona.

(There are few things in this world that come close to having a mortar company 1/4-mile to your West, the Forward Air Controllers 1/4-mile to your East (and 100-meters higher up the ridge), standing next the the simulated manpad and SA-11 launchers while Harriers and F-18s drop 500 & 1000 pounders prior to the Huey gunships and Cobras make their tracer-laden gun runs 1/2-mile to your North...)

you guys seem to have all the fun.... i showed up to work 30 minutes late. sat in a company van for an hour through traffic. followed by bringing up a few tools onto a roof of an office building to repair a broken condenser. sat around for the next 6 hours doing nothing but reading on here. i am a tin knocker by trade but recently i have been doing preventive maintenance and service calls... kinda pointless with my limited knowledge. i have done a whole hour or two worth of work in the last 3 weeks.... yeah ive been bored as hell.

How long do you really need to soak it, to flavor the meat. Overnight?

Have you tried making the sausage style? Like the round sticks. I quess it is the same principle?

I would like to try and mix some different meats together, a little Jackel and hyde!

As far as work settings, I am finally off today. we are going to go DIRTBIKE RIDING!

OH YeA!, The Man doesn't own me TODAY!

Going over a BOM (bill of materials) for a very nice, very large, world-class, ion gun vacuum chamber we will be building to test ion based Space Science instruments (NASA, ESA, etc). It is going to be really expensive, maybe 7 figures. That is, if management does not choke on the price tag. If they go ahead with it the Chamber design/build/test will rule my world for the next 8 months.

I am freaking starving. Need to go eat lunch.

Where are you going? track riding or trail riding?

Crappy little track in Irving. Called shady grove.

I'd like to go to 360, I'm just scared of getting a ticket out there.
I'd rather jerk around a little at this place, than worry about watching for cops, or getting the truck towed. LOL

Your more than welcome if you wanna come. We are not expert motorcross riders, we actually like trail riding better. But this is 5 mins from the house and only $10. LOL

If i can get some extra hours we are thinking about going to Mena Ar. again. It was rugged and cool climbing the mountain sides and washed out cliffs. Kinda crazy. But not too bad.

I'd love to come, unfortunately I'm not in town.. For what it's worth all I really ever do is trail riding, but havent done much riding at all lately, sucks.

My dad is always trying to get me to go up to munsters with him to ride for a weekend. All we've been riding on lately is the little trails we have worn onto my dad's 15 acre land in Granbury, lots of hills and stuff though so it's not so bad

School is a real bitch...but it's gonna be worth it.

I have a lot to do today.

I'm already at work drinking coffee and finish this breakfast taco. Need to update a few shop drawings...design some collets for a hydraulic saw, and set up bar coded bins for new inventory sections.

Then go home and cut grass...and hit the books again. If I can get my heat transfer homework done tonight it means I can install my Devil's Own kit after work tomorrow.
