Tundras live: Agree to disagree (a lesson in civility)

Yeah - it's pretty much just unwritten comp time.
I earn 192 hours PTO per year (our "sick" time is in that pool with "vacation") and I cash in 160-190 hours per year because I end up responding to emails or issues even when on vacation.

 

Literally sick and tired and I still said yes to OT this weekend.

 

Nights or days?

 

As soon as my high schooler takes the ‘rolla to school, the smoker is coming out.
First the clucks, then the oinks. Four of each. Time to restock the freezer.

 

Just threw on a 11# butt before I went to work, tacos on Saturday!

 

Days thankfully, I'm done with nights for a few weeks.
We have to fix something on one of our cranes, they are usually tied up during the week.

 

And we are cooking

 

Nailed it…

 

Clucks are done and resting

Dropped the temp and put on the oinks. I’ll be the one posting late tonight…15hrs to go!

 

So much meat!

 

Getting happy

 

And here I was thinking I'd have company for the two extra nights I picked up. Started the first one 15 minutes ago, and coming back again for tomorrow. 24 hours of OT. Pays for my kayak and a little cushion.

I miss most of the significant mileages. I wind up doing the maintenance early, and then I forget to keep an eye on it after.

I'm a bit over 30K. I should have traded 5K ago?

Fun times. At least your labors will be rewarded with delicious meats.

TWSS

 

I didn’t think it would take all day for that comment to be made. I was thinking of @1794TX and hitting our quota

 

I was sleeping all day. I responded as soon as I saw it.

 

Are you cooking all of this because your son is leaving? Or he’s left and now your throwing a party? I didn’t realize you were cooking all of this at once!
Yeah I’m only at 145 from putting my pork on at 545am @ 220ish

 

Sorry dude! Hope they go smooth for ya.

A little extra cash is nice, I should have around 110 hours on this next check.

 

I’ve been waiting for it too…

Nah, I needed him to go to school so I had room in the driveway. I smoke in bulk every 6-8 months and the wife vacuum seals the meat in meal-size portions. This should carry us into the summer.

Dang, you are low and slooow on the temps. Mine are at 160ish and have entered the stall. Should be done in 6-8 hours.

 

Where's the meat?? All I see is candy.

 

I’m a bark man! I’ll literally make a bark taco….. hahah
That’s awesome you bulk cook like that, way more efficient use of everything!
Do you actually make meals, or just bag enough for a meal to add it in?

 

Ahhh it’s going to be sooo good for the shindig

 

Off my game... Sincerest apologies.

 

Do you boil the bags come meal time? I've done that with Brisket. The bark does get a tad soggy, but it's likely not going to survive well no matter how you reheat it. Other than that, tastes like you just took it out of the smoker, and it's certainly just as juicy.

 

No worries we got each other’s backs.

 

I am jealous of that garage.

 

2 Pros and a Camaro?
Nice shop!
