Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Countdown until first sunrise in Level 3 is on fellas. I'm taking orders. What fish would you like for dinner tomorrow? Snapper, Kahawhai, John Dory, Kingfish?

I’ll take some smoked King, with a little brown sugar to carmalize on the outside.

Generally, when we smoked salmon, usually king or red, and made it sweet with brown sugar, it was called "squaw candy"....

At least, that's what we called in in Alaska...

Cajun or brown sugar smoked salmon or trout is absolutely fantastic.

Canned (at home) of any type of salmonid fish is to die for as well. Can it like you would can regular meat (like venison) with xx tsp of canning salt per pint then put a dollop of tomato paste on top. The canning process cooks the fish and also dissolves the bones.

Instead of tomato paste, I always add a teaspoon of yellow mustard per pint...

Got a chance to sneak out between conference calls and rain showers to get a load from the maple.

Hate this new format, was a dandy big sky day. Snow is almost gone in the bush, some bugs are getting brave.

An old coworker used to take off the same week every year to go camping at Cunningham Falls, Md. One year he met Rick Dempsey, the ball player, there. The year his son turned ten, the we’re setting up camp and he saw two guys walk by holding hands. He looked at his son real quick, but he didn’t seem to notice. Then they were walking up to the falls, and two guys were in the middle of the trail necking. His son did notice that, and asked why the two guys were kissing? Turned out it was gay apprecation day at the park. I don’t think Rick ever went camping again.

Probably had a Subaru in the parking lot! Lol!

2 more maple loads. Bonus view of another broken maple close to the first one. It is completely broken about 10 feet up and is resting on the trunk and against another tree. This weekend I may try to throw a rope over it and bring it down. Or maybe just stay back until mother nature finishes it off.

When my Daughter and I went on the hike, the Black Fly's were horrendous up on the top, jut had to keep moving and keep swatting! PITA when they get under your glasses!

Once canned, there is no heavy mustard taste at all...

My brother said his 241 would not start. Went to change the fuel filter, but it looked brand new, so I dropped it back in the tank and the saw popped on the 3rd pull and started (in run position) on the 4th pull. I think he must have flooded it. Just as well, his chain really needed a sharpening … he just does not keep up with that stuff like I do, just views it more as a tool to keep using till it doesn't work!

I was gonna ask if he knew how to start it, but you say the chain was dull

Took one of my nephews and my younger daughter out for some fun yesterday. Kids sure are easy to please m

I've got deer flies real bad in my woods. I started using permethrin spray. Keeps the skeeters, ticks, and flies at bay!

I was thinking of Oceanic King Mackerel. I've tried Salmon at restaurants so many times and just didn't like it. Not long ago we had some Cedar Planked Salmon and it was great. Every one tells me smoked Salmon is the bees knees, but, I still haven't tried it.

Probably. When I got my "buy back" check for my diesel VW, my wife's Tahoe had just turned 17. We test drove the Suby's and I liked them. Then we both fell in love with the Grand Cherokee Trail Hawk edition. While we were waiting for one to come in, my wife went car shopping with my daughter. We wound up with two new Lexus. My daughter got an NX200 and we got an RX350. Nice enough car, but I don't care for it. I'd rather have the Jeep.
