Morning y'all!
Eat your tacos today.

Roget that Joel! Captains orders! Tacos it is
 
You don't want to process a boar. His meat will taste horrible because of the "boar taint". The only thing you can do with boar meat is grind it into sausage and give it to dogs or someone you don't like. His breeder has already reached back out to me, and asked to buy him back from me whenever I'm done using/ no longer want him.
"Boar taint"... that happens in the summer right? Goes along with swamp butt?
 
Anytime Keith, that would be fun!
You aren't far from me. You are a chiropractor right or is that Wes? My neck is out of whack and needs a good crackin'
 
That's cool that you eventually made it back home my friend. That says a lot
I did. I could have lived anywhere I wanted. But, Michigan is a beautiful State. Nothing like the spring, summer and fall here. Going up north is just simply amazing. All the clean, clear rivers and lakes. I could go on.. but I'll leave it at that. I left the winter off since as I get older and wiser, the cold and snow isn't as much fun as when I was a kid. It is pretty, don't get me wrong, but the cold, gray days get old after a while.
 
Morning folks. The water is still really cloudy. Also, my return pump is slowing down, which is causing salinity fluctuations. I'm going to clean it out this evening.
Have you done a water change?
 
A little bit higher lol
I was being kind Luis, I didn't want to call in an intervention! I do hope you own stock in Heineken though
 
I do fuel amino supplement and spot feed a high quality freeze dried seafood mix, and I'm broadcasting frozen rotifers right now. I've been diluting the aminos in tank water and adding a block of frozen rorifers, then i lightly blasting the hammer with that. The first time I did this, is when the polyps extended.
What "high quality freeze dried seafood mix" are you using if you don't mind me asking.
 
Aww, I miss calling turkeys with my dad!
Man nothing compares to getting one to gobble at a crow or owl call. Then when you finally see the bird, it's almost surreal. Great life experiences man

Eggs crack, I adjust! Yep coming on 32 years on September first. You would think after that many years I would be doing chiropractic and not still practicing chiropractic.

Oh I thought he was a wild hog. I've never noticed a difference in them, but I process my animals very very carefully

I'm picturing John, sitting in a recliner. Cigar in one hand, single barrel scotch on the rocks in the other, just reminiscing. LOL! Did I nail it?

I commend you for your dedication and commitment to your patients sir. We, medical professionals, "practice" daily. They do say, practice makes perfect!

Keep out the secret part for boar taint tea! I've heard it's an aphrodisiac
