Arrived Saturday afternoon, drove through horrendous wind the last 35% of the trip…calmed down Saturday evening…nice temps the past 3 days, 30 degrees better than home. Had a great supper last nite with several families, all related, all generous landowners with their habitat, Dined on SD beef and walleye, among other things. I’ve been smoking pork shoulder, 33 lbs…end up with about 18 lbs finished pulled pork…gifting it to about 5 families out here, including my farmer buddy who won’t take lodging $ for his farmhouse I stay in during non-hunting season, this is how I pay him. Nice for him to have 6 ziplocks of pulled pork in the freezer during busy season, make a lot of sandwiches and not have to spend a lot of time. Glorious time…went out with the dogs at 4 am, roosters were cackling in every direction! Crazy! Songbirds singing in the morning as well…loud!!

I rub the pork shoulder with mustard, then cover with dry rub. Smoke using wet hickory, 4 hrs per side, then foil wrap and keep on heat another 4 hrs…when I chop it I spritz with 1/3 apple cider vinegar and the rest water…I sprinkle dry rub on too..,put about baseball size amount per ziplock, maybe softball size…makes 4-5 sandwiches on normal sized bun…18 lbs finished pulled pork
makes 75-80 sandwiches, assuming 3-4 oz pork per sandwich…normal sized bun works good, $1.99/8 buns…keep from wasting pork. 12” snow forecast late this week, moisture needed…birds are all over…crazy…🍻🍻🍻
 
If we can get some good moisture prior to nesting (like last year) to really give the cover a nice bump, we're going to have another fantastic season. They keep getting better & better!! I'll be interested to see the harvest estimate (in June??) & won't be surprised if we hit 1.5M, which hasn't happened since 2011-12. I think a lot of people did really well last October & November.
 
I really enjoy being out there this time of year…farmers aren’t super busy, they’ve got time to socialize…cover and farm fields look just like last fall, and birds are out in their pre-mating rituals…very conspicuous…yeah, it’s a blast being out there…I enjoy driving, so the 420 miles isn’t an issue…ride home today flew by…I’m a fan of xm radio, listen to a lot of sports talk shows…and I’m on my phone a lot…just learned of Kristi Noem’s husband’s cross-dressing fetishes, including putting huge boobs on himself….thought it was just me!

You have all the best gossip. Never hear that stuff in the frozen north.
 
Breaking news, my wife found it earlier…Kristi claims she was blindsided and the family is devastated…Trump made a few comments about it…he spent $25,000 on some fetish website…would goose disapprove of that “pay to play” scenario?

I hate it for her. I thought she was a great governor and did a good job in the administration. Never know what goes on behind closed doors. What a damn freak. No wonder she was accused of having an affair. Living with a freak like that I guess I understand.
 
BB - now with he Noem news breaking I’m starting to understand why you are making all these trips to SD in the off season. 😁😁😁

Love the comment about goose’s opinion of that pay to play.
 
Yeah? So what! I actually can pull off the hot pinks and the chartreuse’s and the like…I incorporate blaze orange at times, too…but I’m not technically into “bimboification”…I’m not totally opposed, but it’s not my thing, really…well, it’s kinda my deal, but there’s some subtleties…IYDKYDK! 😡

Okay you are messing with my mind. I close my eyes and there you are next to Goose with black socks and sandals riding on his ski boat.
