Welcome aboard iriesteve from Port Of Spain, Trinidad. What took you so long to join us? Hey iriesteve, I`ve got a theory... You only need two tools in life. They are WD-40 spray lubricant and duct tape. If it doesn`t move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn`t move and does, use the duct tape. Nice to have you with us iriesteve!

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Hi folks. I'm new here. Been making fresh sausages for awhile. Just starting out on making emulsion sausages. Hope to have things setup to cold smoke and dry cure by next year. Glad to be here and looking forward to learning from you all.

Boys, boys, boys! Let's not squabble over a fishing license! There, there, now... I'll simply tear it in half and give each of you a piece of the prize. Ross can fish the south end, Uwanna can fish the north. Me? I'm going to find some shade and barbecue one of those wild Utah blue-billed skiing ducks! :roll:

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

P.S. Ross's riddle... Congressional hot air!

Fishing sticks? Fishing poles? Naw... We simply use Utah County "Spinners". They are about 8" long and 1-1/2" in diameter. We just light the fuse, toss them out of the canoe, and paddle like hell! :shock:

Hold on partner, here in Vemont we call`em fish`n sticks. Takes only two too light the stick, one to hold, light and toss, the other holds the beer. Never mind paddling, the fella that`s toss`n has a golden arm :mrgreen:

Ok gang, I`ve got a question for you. If you were given the master copies of the film classics, "The Wizard Of Oz", "Gone With The Wind", and "Star Wars", where would you store the irreplaceable items so future generations would have access to them without having the negative effects (no pun intended) and ravages of time destroy the originals? In a salt mine of course! Deep inside a Kansas salt mine in Hutchinson... you know - the place our newest member hangs his hat. Welcome aboard W1sby. We`re happy to have you join us. Now, everyone knows that Dorothy was transported to the Land Of Oz when a Kansas twister introduced her and Toto to the Tinman, Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion! Yup, and just west of Hutchinson is the town of Liberal - where visitors may view a perfect replica of Dorothy`s house, Oz, and of course... the Yellow Brick Road! Say, I wonder what kind of sausage the Wicked Witch Of The West preferred. Was it Minced Munchkin? Nice to have you with us W1sby!

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

I suspect it was Flying Monkey Mysliwska :twisted:

I'm impressed, you really did your homework!

I've not made any sausages yet, I am in the research phase at this point. I do smoke meats quite often with great success (by my measure). Sausage making has been in the back of my mind for quite some time, and I decided recently to act upon the desire to do so.

Other hobbies include fishing and Amateur (Ham) Radio. My user name W1SBY is my call sign.

In my professional life I am an application engineer for a building automation / temperature controls company. In short I do the programming and graphics for the systems we install. The company also does security/access controls which I program as well. It keeps me out of trouble.

Again, thanks for the welcome!
