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?

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

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

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.

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)

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.

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.

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

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

Excuse me, I meant Erhine. My apologies. Nice lookin' dogs.

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.

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

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.
