Don't drink beer and eat pizza every other night. But let's be honest, you will. We all did.

Not the worst idea, but with my kitchen and oven I wouldn't be able to make enough to be worth it. It would prob make more sense to have a local bakery involved to donate some bread for a bake sale (could help drive customers to their store as well)

Fresh baked baguettes. 2 more in the oven. So, i split my recipe into 4. Next batch will need to be 5 or 6. My oven just isn't long enough for a full length baguette. The ends hung off the edge of my stone.

« on: July 21, 2019, 01:07:38 PM »Who tf DOESN'T want all those amazing cuts???
The skirts and flanks had always been ground into hamburger which I found sacrilegious, so a couple years ago i requested all of it. My niece had asked for some of the flank this year so no idea if she got some. My brothers probably don't venture into carne asada, fajitas, stir fry, etc... very often so they don't care. My sister also doesn't go that route because her kids can be picky.
Brisket, the same. And reason being, these are not beef cattle. These are dairy cows that have kinda reached the end of the line. Even when fattened up at the end, the cuts are not near as large. My brother who will do 3 or 4 briskets at a time doesn't want them because they are too small.
For me, no matter what cut I get, we're paying $2-$3 per pound. I can make a small brisket work for that price. I just have to wrap in butcher paper a little earlier than normal which tends to reduce the smokiness a bit.

Brisket today. This is all that remains. Picture doesn't really do it justice. Was butter. Slices are thick here as i intend to cube this bit up tomorrow.
Sorry for all the food posts. Dad butchered a bunch of cows and nobody wanted the brisket, skirt, or flank so I ended up with it all and am trying to lighten the load a bit.

I don't know how the proposal happened. He did know her beforehand(sister of another brother's best friend). I was like 9 or 10. My 3 brothers are all a lot older than my sister and I. I didn't even know until I accidentally broke a picture of the kid and got scolded for it.

Mainly because he didn't just go in a cup. They did the deed until she got pregnant. Not quite certain what he was thinking in agreeing to it, but it is what it is.

« on: July 17, 2019, 12:11:38 AM »Did mine last year for epigenetic purposes, the ancestry stuff is pretty uninteresting to me. The whole 23 and me stuff is blowing up family secrets on the regular across the country though.
My nephew showed up on there. My family knows about him, but my sister didn't ( i was 9 or 10 when he was born and she was 5 or 6). I didn't realize she didn't know and told her about him. She was very upset nobody told her. My brother was the... "sperm donor" for a lesbian couple and he had brief contact with the child for the first year or so. They asked him to sign away his legal rights and he begrudgingly did. Never saw him again.

I'd say just bring back Danny to take over the 2:00 slot, but that's not going to happen.
Even though he is a squawk, I actually enjoy DC. He was about the only KU fan in the media that could talk about them without looking through crimson glasses. That said, when he was on by himself, he would come off as dry at times and I think he'd struggle keeping an audience.

« on: June 20, 2019, 03:22:30 AM »Low Grain Storage IQ here but how long does someone typically store their grain? Like until the following year or is it a short term kind of thing?
Just depends on its purpose. But generally the same reason people on wall street hold onto commodities and stock. Waiting for the right price.
halfEmpty, you seen to know alot about grain storage. What is the going rate these days to rent out grain bins?
I couldn't really give you a good answer. I guess it mostly depends on the rates in the area. Whatever the elevators are charging, it has to be more profitable for the farmer than that. Probably looking at around .02 cents per stored bushel/month. Or you could just rent out the total capacity of the bin for the year. That could be anywhere from .10-.20/per bushel of total storage for the year. (Depends on if there are high crop yields and farmers are desperate for storage). Electricity for the bins is also a cost that needs to be negotiated.
To answer the original question better (since i misread it and thought it said why instead of how long). A small farmer isn't likely to store longer than 6 months/year. They need that money to buy seed, pay loans, etc.. for the next season. Large farms have enough capital to hold longer if need be.

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: Signs of getting old
« on: June 19, 2019, 08:50:49 AM »Sometimes fishing. Sometimes chilling on a beach or climbing a mountain or something. And it is therapeutic. I almost always feel refreshed when I snap out of it.
I sometimes think about things staring off into space how you describe, but that isn't how I would classify my daydreamin. When I for real go into a daydream, it is an actual dream while I'm awake. It is like a really lucid dream where it appears real and I have some limited control over the direction of the dream. My eyes will be closed, but I'm awake(if someone is walking around or talking in real life I can hear them and am partially aware of my surroundings) I definitely feel refreshed when I snap out of mine. Almost like I actually slept for a bit. Used to happen in college all the time. If I had my mind right I could close my eyes and go into it, open my eyes and it is mostly gone, but could get back to where I left off if I closed them again. And sometimes the "dreams" are nothing more than images coming in and out(almost like short video clips) or morphing from one thing to another(beautiful girl morphing into a demon for instance) Really weird. Honestly though, can't remember the last time it happened. It's been a while.

« on: April 22, 2019, 08:33:47 PM »Nice rebar capsI have an intense fear of poking myself in the eye while im bending over tending my garden.
Summer after freshman year I worked for my uncle's concrete company. We were putting in a foundation for a basement. I tripped over something and managed to catch myself about 2 inches away from impaling myself through the chest on a piece of rebar sticking up out of the ground. At the very least it was going to hurt really bad.
