North West BS Thread

Yeah, I got my birds and brine earlier this week. Now I just wait...

 

Speaking of unexpected home projects, not necessarily an improvement but necessary. The winds a few days ago resulted with a tree falling in the back yard. It crunched a few plants but missed a lot. Missed my portable backhoe, with only the branches’ tips hitting it. My wife found a crew 5:homes over the next day removing their tree. They came over and the 4 guys diced the tree, ground up the branches and stacked tha rounds. My wife convinced me with a few reasons to hire them, albeit expensive imo. Definitely saved me a lot of time and bodily pain….

 

Hello neighbor,
We didn’t lose any trees in Waldhiem Acres but a lot of them came down around the area for sure . At least yours didn’t cause too much collateral damage. I will keep a lookout for you around Berrydale.
Cheers,

 

Happy Turkey Day to all you NW Tundra owners, we have a lot to be thankful for!

 

Damn right. HTG to you too!

 

How did those 2 birds turn out? @Green Thunder

My BIL smoked a turkey, we ate and drank like kings yesterday.

 

Overall it went very well. Didn't need the 2nd bird; it's sitting in my garage fridge now waiting to be cut up. We ate and drank like kings too...and thankfully my family behaved.

Now for a day of cleaning!

How did everyone else's holiday go?

 

Went good. Smoked bird came out incredible. Everything these was great too.
Having a hard time getting motivated to do shit today.

 

Day up on the mountain.

Snow

 

Yep! But with a great lunch and some booze I am less concerned about snow.

 

Anyone here need floor mats? Cleaned out the garage a bit yesterday and have my stock carpet floor mats and the stock rubber floor mats. Don’t ever plan to use them and don’t want to store them for the next several years. Offering here first before putting on the marketplace.

 

Windy around here today. Played tumble weed tag this morning and got bonus points! Luckily I could cut it off easily.

 

$100/lb
Can't imagine Costco sells a lot of these Wagyu steaks.

 

Not as crazy as some stuff people buy at Costco! Someone must be buying the $2,000 TVs.

 

they used to sell them in bigger slabs around 300+. I had a buddy once who is into fancy steaks and whisky purchase one and split it between others

 

Very true, and then there's the $10k wedding rings.

 

gotta compensate somehow

 

That’s pretty cheap for a true Wagyu. Go Costco. It is all fat…

 

We have never had Wagyu, but we do get their ribeye fat caps. We like a 6-8hr sous vide then reverse sear. Very good.

 

That just looks like really fatty pork to me.
I'll pass.

 

Yep.
But, I would def try it for $10/lb.

 

I had a Wagyu steak once, never again. It was disgusting IMO, felt my arteries clogging up as I ate it

 

Well, that solves that.

 

I'm probably odd in that I like my steak to be lean, my favorite is flank steak on the BBQ.

 

I'm with @Kratos on this one! I'm weird and prefer lean steaks. I can't chew on all that fat I've seen cheap bacon with less fat than that wagyu!

 

Anyone have any experience with Metal Tech 4x4 by chance?

 

Yeah that looks way to fatty

 

Just got home. An hour drive to the coast and a limit of razors in 15 minutes!

 

Thing with wagyu is there isn’t much chewing involved. It’s more like putting butter in your mouth and letting it melt. I’ll take lean steak myself too. Even prefer my pork chops on the lean side
