Had to run out to the hunting lease to set up some shredding. Stopped at JD’s, picked up a snack of chicharron con carne.

How do you eat this (technique?) Break it up into chunks? Whole thing like a caveman with a dinosaur leg? Do you put hot sauce on it? Mayo? French dressing? All of the above?

[Gil Bang 26,057]

help a west coast brother out...the fuck is "shredding".  Out here, we do that shit on a surfboard.

You just pick it up and take a bite.  Fried porkish deliciousness.

Shredding is rough cutting a field.  It's like mowing, only with one of those big-ass tow-behind cutters and a tractor.  It isn't as short or clean as mowing, but it knocks down 15 foot wide swaths of grass and small brush in a blink.  We use it to create shooting lanes for dove hunting.

I'm now obsessed with watching youtube videos of people shredding fields.  It's oddly soothing.

Tractor time can be totally zen.  I didn't do the cutting here -- hired a guy with a 15 foot batwing shredder.  But I've done some tractor time, and it's good stuff.  Zen, peaceful, and a huge sense of accomplishment.  It's even better with modern tractors with a cab with A/C.

Next you can google exposed tractor cabs, shredding, and ground hornets & bees.  Good times...

Throwing square bales is also very cathartic and relaxing. Ask your local farmer if you can volunteer for a few hours doing in the next shred. You’ll love it!

Stacking 'em in the hay barn is a more brutal version of tetris/jenga.  Good for the mind and body.

I dunno.  Shredding where  it's dry and dusty and you have a lot of oak trees isn't very zen.  Last time I did it for a couple of hours I had a crick in my neck from looking back and forth at the shredder, and black snot for a day or two afterward from the dust.  Better than desk work for a change though.

My best friend's family owned most of the farm land that was developed into what is now Hutto.  They crew cotton on it for years and we'd help his dad/grandad with shredding on the weekends/summer.   Can confirm that shredding when it's dry and dusty is the fucking worst.

I'm familiar with the term shredding but I have no idea what crewing cotton is.

[elfenix 34,342]

that's the specific type of cotton growing method used for making crew socks.  since only your grandfather wears those anymore, and the land was unsuitable for anything else, it's been turned into tract homes and covert chevy.

You fuckers ever heard of bandanas? They work great for filtering dust

Cabs & a/c work better, keep rocks from knocking you the fuck out and keep dirt out of your beer.

I do wonder where the term "shredding" came from. Around here it's just called mowing or Brush Hogging (slang brand name of mower). Never heard anyone call it "shredding" until a few years ago. I assumed it was a yankee saying. (no offense)

[irishtexan 11,530]

Light lunch today

[Cheeseweasel 26,438]

Awesome.

The food and the fact that I don't work in the same office as you do.

[Dutch 4,486]

Your lunch is glorious. Your dump will be equally as glorious.

Love hunting grub. Breffis after our morning hunt:

[Brisketexan 105,463]

Shank, thinking of you on our halftime break.

[Zepol87 9,198]

Was very drunk last night. It may look like it but I didn't DoD the bacon

[deft 6,891]

Never DoD the bacon.

[Dewey 3,298]

Over DoD bacon?

[Zepol87 9,198]

I'm drunk as fuck on the beach. The Little place down the street has a steak discussion. Steak and okra mofos!!

[NorthLoop 14,254]

Steak and okra. I never woulda thought of it, but it sounds right. LIke really right. 

[BigDHornfan 6,553]

[ERhine 1,909]

Daughter’s dinner last night. Frito chili cheese dog. I feel like I’m raising her right.

Also explained to her the importance of a paper plate when eating something like this.

[deft 6,891]

I’m not trying to tell you how to parent but there doesn’t appear to be enough chili on them dogs. I’m worried about your daughters salvation. You can fix this.

[Steel Shank 9,432]

Me and judgey-wudgey's daughter must be on the same wavelength.

[Bill Brasky 1,465]

I recommend jack in the box taco sauce for hot dogs

It’s hidden underneath a bunch of cheese. But your concern is noted.

I like spicy mustard.

You and everybody else buddy. Get in line.

I don’t do lines. Not when spicy mustard is involved. I just take what I want.

Condiments or death!

[irishtexan 11,530]

I don't know man. Spicy mustard is awfully similar to Dijon mustard and I was told that only fancy motherfuckers like Barack Hussein Obama who hate America and probably weren't even born here eat that shit. We might need a ruling.

[Dewey 3,298]

Nothing wrong with any of it, imo. Yellow mustard in my house.

I swear, Gus.  You'd argue with a possum.

Sort for the shitty photo. GF took it while I was in line for a piece of this guy. Brisket, you need to come to Florence.

[Brisketexan 105,463]

I suspect I would have enjoyed Florence.

 

Also, there's a place in Edinburgh called Oink.  All they do is a whole roast pig, turned into delicious sammiches.  This is the view in their front window.

I'm a fan.

Twas a joke. I celebrate all mustards. Except the sweet whole grain stone ground stuff. 

[Gil Bang 26,057]

I’m gonna cross/post this because.

At “Il Porcospino” in Florence.

Having a late afternoon bite. I order beer for me, Chianti for her, Bruschetta and water. Do I want ice? Yes please.

I’m wearing burnt orange.

This is the ice, I shit you not.

Some good looking wieners up in this thread, no doubt they slam and go hard.
