“Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. As I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.”
For a man to eat something must die, I prefer it to be by my own hand, guaranteeing it had the best life I could give it to only have one bad day
Fresh liver kidneys and heart flash fried in butter garlic and onion with a flower coating for a nice crisp edges. Every meal I make grown from my own property I’m just tickled happy it wasn’t bought from a store, taxed, and no idea the life the animal lived
My Grandmother made the best kidney stew. A lady friend ask her what the secret to good kidneys, my grandmother very quietly said, well you just have to boil the piss out of them.
Boned out the front shoulders and the rib cage and took the flanks too and ground them to burger, added 20% beef fat and ended up with just over 9lbs of rabbit burger. Seasoned with thyme, garlic, onion, salt and pepper looks real good
Taste was good, needed a little more garlic and onion, fried up a second tester and it was delicious
Freezer packed a dozen burgers 1/3rd pound each roughly and fried up the extra for lunch
The crane on the dodge comes in handy once again, and special thanks to @SteveUnruh the tire bar for the tire machine he gave me came in handy for hanging it off the crane!
Deer was perfect just lost a small piece of flank meat, aged in the cooler on ice 4 days to tenderizing, about a 2 year old doe. My first try at cases sausages, venison and pork fat from my hogs and bratwurst seasoning
Hello Marcus, every job you undertake, you undertake it with dedication. All praise, you are a good and conscientious worker, greetings to you and your family.
Hey Marcus
How’s it going 60 miles upstream, living near the Cowlitz river? (I got our high school to high school sports events down to 42 miles road tripping. Three times crossing the Cowlitz.)
I was up to an honest 12 inches/34cm of rain in the previous 7 days until now the last 3 days adding.
Anyone not understanding the created 1/4 world away; then squeeze focused to a standing-in-the-fire-hosing; watch this:
The wiggle waggle of these intense concentrated 60 mile/100km wide intensity-hosings means some area of BC Canada, down through central California is going to get especially over-blessed with winds and rains. Like others fuss about tornadoes and hurricanes: “Please. Not me. Not me again.” Yep. Yep. Your turn. Hunker down, and endure. IMHO better than year after year enduring SW USA drying out, and blowing away as dust.
You bought well; up and above the river swelling flows, and flood plain puddle-ing. Hill side back of you giving any run-off problems?
We are having to once-twice drive across our access lane puddle flooding; and the state highway lake flooding to get any distance out and about.
No biggy. Expected. Happens every year.

Sounds horrible. 12 inches of rain would be over 7 foot of regular density snow here. Some years back we got a 36 inch drop of wet snow in one day and night and it brought down many powerlines and we were without power for 7 days. That’s when I learned that having an extra 5 gallons of gas for a generator and a few extra batteries was just stupid. Two much snow to plow out of our back woods road. Luckily a wood stove to keep from freezing but no fan. Cell phone battery lasted a couple of days. Totally lit a fire under my ass. Before getting into wood gas I bought a dual fuel generator and we have a 250 gallon propane tank we can tap that into. Old dog, new tricks.
Lots and lots of high water on my commute still high now 8 days later several small slides a couple wash outs several upturned water kicked loose trees, friends spent many days at the local sand bagging locations down hill and valleys away from us
No damage to my back yard creek but I expect a gold panning adventure come spring from all the upturned moved new materials
Lots of damage in the valleys, mine is still flooded but 30-50’ below the house so we are all safe and well and somehow haven’t loss power. Where I shot my elk was flooded in 6’ of water the very next morning, very glad we drug it out that night
I even made a water crossing safety video the following day getting into dads house
