So - you're upstate? I used to run the Boilermaker in Utica every year.

I'd drive out with one of my boys who'd stayed friends with a guy from our town who'd moved out there after college, so we'd crash with him... a perfect crime, every time.

We'd drive in after working on Friday. We'd party all day Saturday. Wake up hung-over AF and, let's face it - strung out.. off whatever, on Sunday - completely dehydrated... run a 15K (...let that sink in - that's 9.6 miles) at 7am sharp, wander around on a high that NO DRUG has ever come close to, and by 6pm we'd be back in the car to drive back to Boston (for 5 or so hours)...

Fuck!


. ...to be 28 again....



. ps. i'm all set with el cerdo sucio

yea technically upstate I'm in the southern tier though ( over by lake Erie south of buffalo)

yeah I'm not a runner... I do like cycling though.. less impact on my horrid knees...nor could I imagine attempting anything like that....that hung over.. lol I wasn't much of a drinker.. always been the smoker most of my life...

All I can think of is how badly I want to throw some pork shoulders on my grill now. Set that bad boy to 225-250 C and let it smoke for 8-10 hours.

( I normally only take them to 300# ish in 6 months, this guy was 18 months.. I got 2 for a buddy, but he couldn't pay for them by end of season, so I keep those two a extra 12 months.. sold one, butchered this guy.. )

Good on you, I used to hunt moose and after a few animals I thought I'd try processing it myself. Was tired of sending it in to the butcher only to get back someone else's heated up meat back - one package as great, the next was garbage. We'd gut and skin on one day, let it hang for a day then spend the next two days processing. Tired as all hell after but a freezer full of meat.
