Second go at making sausages! These are garam masala sausages made I made from a shoulder roast from one of our sheep. The texture was so much better than the last ones I made, and they didn’t burst open while cooking!4yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/sausagetalk
My wife and I are camping in northern Minnesota on the maiden voyage with our new-to-us popup camper. We agreed that from now on, every time we go camping, I get to buy a bottle of whisky. Here is today’s purchase for this trip!4yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/whiskey

We processed three lambs last weekend, and we’re spending a lot of time learning about sausage making. We just made ten pounds of rosemary and red wine sausages. Also, we borrowed a sausage stuffer, and now I need my own. Game. Changing.3yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/sausagetalk
We’re at 9.5 weeks! We got to see the heart beat and all the blood flow through the umbilical cord on our first ultrasound. This is definitely the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! Baby is 2.4cm and has a nice and strong heartbeat!5yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/predaddit
Just picked up my early Father’s Day present from my wife! We’re having a big birthday bash for our two year old (she didn’t get any party last year), and I offered to smoke a couple pork shoulders. My electric smoker went out shortly after that offer. Guess it’s time to learn the offset!3yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/OklahomaJoe
New to me toy. I competed in a couple weight loss challenges and won both of them. My cash prize was enough to pick up one of these bad boys! I’ve only been able to run a couple boards through it today, but I love it!5yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/woodworking
Walmart has cactus on sale for $3.74, so naturally I couldn’t leave without one. My wife, who was waiting in the car, rolled her eyes at me when I got in. Apparently, I have a “problem”.4yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/cactus
Went to Costco today and saw this for $18. Thought I’d give it a try, and I weirdly like it more than I expected.4yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/whiskey
Probably the best sear I’ve ever gotten! NY strips were on sale, so we picked up a couple 12 ouncers. 129° for 2.5 hours and then seared in a cast iron skillet with oil and butter.5yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/sousvide
A few weeks ago I posted a picture of some NY strips we got on sale, and I was advised that my knife is garbage. I have since purchased some new knives and steaks were on sale again. 127° for 90 minutes, refrigerator for 20 minutes and seared. Every steak I make is better than the last!5yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/sousvide

One of my favorite Apple Watch features is the ability to view my phone’s camera on my watch so I can use it as a portable baby monitor. What unique ways to use your watch to make your life easier?4yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/AppleWatch
My wife and I are terrible gift givers and always spoil the surprise well before Christmas. The was the first year that we were adamant not to tell each other. The wait and not knowing was more than worth it! She got me the Vertuo Next and the Aeroccino 4!3yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/nespresso

A few weeks ago I posted a design I had come up with for a hive stand. It’s finally in the ground! I pick up two nucs next week, and I’m excited to get back into it after last winter’s die-off.5yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/Beekeeping
I thought you’d all enjoy this! I gave my music theory students their midterm test on Friday. One of the students drew this wonderful artwork on the back before handing it in. She still got a 95%.7yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/MusicEd
Well this really puts a damper on the brisket I’ve had going for five hours. The smoker kept losing temp., but when I wiggled the cord, it heated right back up. Finally, I pulled the cord out to see what was going off and this connector fell on the ground. Cool.3yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/smoking
I just got my first beehive setup in the mail and am working on setting up my frames. When I put them together, there’s about a 1/4” gap between the foundation and the frame. Is this normal?6yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/Beekeeping
I just put out my first hive! Bees should be here within the next three days; needless to say, I’m very excited!6yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/Beekeeping
I’m trying to create an automation where when I scan an NFC chip, it emails a group of people all the events in a specific calendar. I’ve figured out most of it, but it doesn’t include times. Also, when I type out text, it doesn’t format it the right way in the email. I’ll upload more pictures.4yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/shortcuts
Just did my third hive inspection. What is the white capped brood? My other brood is capped with nice yellow-ish caps, but this is a weird off-white color?6yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/Beekeeping

They have the worst timing imaginable. I was walking out to put my suitcase into the car and when I looked up, I saw this. I’m going out of town for five days. Anyone in Southern MN want to come capture this swarm? I’m really feeling pretty crushed right now.6yr ⋅ J_T_09 ⋅ r/Beekeeping
