I think my friend Marlin was going to shellac it and hang it in his barn.

I decided to try out the Equinox with its new tires since it was rainy today. Cold November Rain, just like G-n-R. It did fine, but I needed ag lime and some feed. Usually take the truck for that, but took the Grocery Gogetter.
I have had the truck for two years now, and it really comes in handy having two dependble vehicles. The car is all wheel drive and good for family or long distance outings. The truck is good for local hops, work, or winter driving since 4x4. The boys can be buckled in the back seat, and hopefully by the time they are grown up boys, we will have a quad cab 4x4.

I will, thanks. Will be with her Thursday.
Yah, probably could have sold this one for a little to some of the folks around here with rustic homes.

Happy Thanksgiving to all here in the States. I know some BYH'ers are abroad, so pay no mind.
If my memory of history serves right. Our colonialists barely made it through at Jamestown after failing at Roanoke. They were scrounging to provide food, fighting off sickness and disease, had worked hard to have small cabins and heat to survive the winter.
The following Spring, the Natives assisted with planting corn and how to live on this "virgin" continent the Colonialists had ventured to. After that long winter, the next Spring, Summer, and Fall was productive and there was a good harvest. The upcoming winter looked hopeful, and the people had a big celebration to thank God for His provisions.
They invited their friends, the Native Americans who also brought foodstuffs. They had races, strength tournaments, and games. That is why we have a huge meal, 4 day weekend, football, and Black Friday shopping.
Thank God for His continued provision and blessings, and all kidding aside, I pray everyone is blessed this harvest time and as we venture into the next commercial holiday. I mean Christmas.

I love Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love gathering family and friends together, eating lots of good food and enjoying each other's company.

I am beginning to like Thanksgiving and Easter over Christmas. Way too commercial, and too much expectancies with gift, gift, gifts.
I am with you, I like the meal and the family/friend gatherings.

@Baymule, I think it was you that mentioned wanting my summer sausage recipe. I just ground 30 pounds of rabbit, pork fat, pork, and beef to make some ground rabbit, rabbit sausage, and summer sausage. So, had my recipe cards ready.
I mix my ground rabbit and sausage 1/2 rabbit and half pork fat.
My summer sausage is the ground rabbit and fat, beef and fat mixed abt 80/20, and pork all in thirds.
I mix 2 pounds at a time, so to two pounds meat add in:
2Tb Morton's Quick Cure salt
1tsp onion powder
1tsp garlic powder
1/2tsp crushed Anise seeds
1tsp mustard powder
1tsp mustard seed
1/2tsp red pepper flakes
1tsp season salt
1/2tsp cracked pepper
2Tb Liquid Smoke
1Tb Worcestershire Sauce
1Tb Red Wine Vinegar
1/4c. Water
Mix uniformly, but do not over mix. Place in a mixing bowl and cover, refrigerate for a day or two.
I make 1-1/2pound logs by rolling tight in saran wrap and place back in fridge til firm.
Unwrap and roll up tight in foil and twist ends. Poke holes through foil in a row, and put that side down in a baking rack on a baking pan in low temp oven. Low as can set between 100-150degs. Get internal temp of 160degs. Take out of oven and put in a ice bath to flash cool quick. Unwrap from the foil and put on wire rack to dry and finish cooling.
