Third time better be the charm

I grind the meat and then use a massive caulk gun looking thing to squeeze out strips for most of my jerky. This allows me to mix the seasonings in and to use all parts of the animal that are usually riddled with silver skin or fat. Just trim all of that out, cube it, grind it, and squeeze it lol.

There you go again squeezing your meat!

Yup.

I do not waste thing. Deer, hog (I shoot and prep for friends, as I do not eat), rabbit, squirrel, etc. all makes good jerky or sausage lol. Well, the hog gets done like that, but with the thick tip (yup I said that) and then it becomes a square sausage after I cut it. You just freeze it, as opposed to dehydrating it. My friends love that stuff, as 2 strips makes a nice sammich.

I forgot, I also make homemade dog food with any scraps. Mostly venison is used for that.

Got my ATI results this am. Not too bad, or not as bad as I thought they would be. Here are the recommended actions per the ATI website.

I have NeoNitrate so I can use that. I was wondering tho (please don't laugh) is the middle column MY water value and the first column the "recommended" value? The 3rd column would be how much I need to raise it then?
I am plugging the #'s into the RM calculator as well to see if it will be worth investing in that to help.
Tank isn't terrible just can't get some things to be happy. Specifically, the Goni's I have and the Alveopora. I am thinking it may be a lighting issue based on the test results.
*** EDIT *** first column is MY value 2nd Column is recommended value 3rd colum is too high or too low and how much to increase or decrease got it.

Value is yours, calculated value is recommended, 3rd is suggested dosage - correct!

It's will be a year in April. I walked by it today and did a double take. prettiest it's been ever.

 

[Stang67]

Skipping the investment in the Moonshiners. I have some trace elements I won from Brightwell so I will start there. Will also test monthly going forward to see how levels change. Also keeping a better calendar of what I am doing and when vs just wining it or when I remember.

Feeling lazy. Today's test results. Dog ate ph test reagent, just the tip of the dropper. He's fine.

Revised list of reservation for swap tomorrow.
Baby jawbreaker
Golden gonzo shroom
Mushroom rock and 4 turbos
Lazy blue zing birdnest
Hyper watermelon chalice
Mint green pavona
2 bottles of pods
Smat farm light

On the lookout for
Rainbow pectinia
Nice plate

For some reason I have yet to figure out I have been unsuccessful with most gonis, alveoporas and any sticks other then pocilipora and birdsnest. Cyphystria is fine chalices and favias are OK. Got another ATI test to run after I get back from indi. Hopefully the trace I have been adding has helped but it may just be too early to see results.
Gha is back and possibly briopsis. Hopefully the turbos will help with that.
Have a great Fri yay I will see about swap pix tomorrow as well.

Heading home to dip now.

Woot woot!!! Can’t wait!

PS. I’m not patient.

Splam worthy if I do say so myself.

So I am torn between the deal of the day. The button scoly 3rd from left front, the rainbow plate 5th from left top or the "Ursula" shroom 4th from left top.

Awesome haul Becky. Now get everything away from that pectinia before it rains down fire and brimstone!

I absolutely love that plate! Frag.

 

[Stang67]

Already moved pectinia to sandbed in corner. And yes we do put peci's in the corner.
This guy is pretty awesome too freebie with the other plate. More green then the one I have.

Done heading over to the man's house.
