Whole Hog / Pork Fog

Processed another hog this weekend, my first since Brews and BBQ in Charlotte around 5 years ago. First pig done soup to nuts without Haweser, sorely missed. This went down on a ranch in Blanco, TX, about an hour from ATX. Pit was fabricated by a local, hi-tech. Pig sourced from Johnny G's meat market, 85 pounder. Looked like a greyhound. Lean and skinny, tough ask. Two man cook team, with an assist and balking from the boss. No napped it, need new body. 10 hours, case and a half of beer, half pack of Tums, cheek meat sandwich.

Good times though, here's the run of show.






Popped by the fabricator's joint, JACKTOWN, it was like Christmas Island all over again out there. Toys for every hobby, mountains of loot and contraband.





Went fishing for 35 minutes right before sunset on the Blanco river. First cats on a fly and a killer bass, caught on crayfish pattern.








Back at the ranch, saw this, about the size of an adult hand, jammed my camera up close, found out later they are aggressive and often leap towards their prey, destroying most of the nerves and soft tissue locally. Attaboy McKenna.



Warming up / baptizing the the pit.










Kiddie relief next day. Good event, though I blacked out for most of it.











May sit the next five out and segue to consulting.
