Today We...

 .....processed a poor little doe that ran into our truck. Fortunately, it happened quickly --she didn't suffer. (You feel terrible -- but there's not much to do except salvage the meat. These recipes should come in handy.)

    Son #1, the Great Hunter, got a deer and antelope recently. He used licenses, instead of a vehicle.

..... ground up a big pork roast, too. Ground beef is running about $4 a pound here. I got the roast at a quarter of that price. Six pounds of taco meat -- yum! The meaty bone is headed to the crockpot for green chili.

.... tidied up the kitchen. Gave Ruby some Very Big Bones to enjoy. Our front yard once again looks like Cannibal Alley.

.....did laundry. 

....cleaned and vacuumed out dog hair (ergh) and hunting dirt from the Jeep our friend loaned us, since the truck got stuck. (The truck needed repairs, too.) This process took nearly three hours. I also cleaned off the mud clumps and smears off the exterior.

....cleaned up the meat grinder and attachments, repacked everything. (Another loan from our friend.)

Past sunset by this time. Loaded Ruby in the truck, and drove off to return the Jeep. (Ironically, the Brick nearly hit another doe, heading out. The deer are moving a lot at dusk.)

...did another errand. Picked up the mail.

Got home -- exhausted. Made supper, and collapsed. Still beat after the concert yesterday. 

And a blizzard is coming in. We think. Maybe. Kinda.

But as the Brick said, "Just cleared a bunch of things off our 'to-do' list." He's right!
