I made spaghetti squash tonight – cut in half (although I’ve since learned to cut it the short way instead of the long way to get longer strands), rubbed with olive oil and salt, set for ten minutes, then roast at 375F for about 50 minutes. Once they were tender, I pulled the strands apart, added a little butter, pepper, and garlic.

We are using the cage from an IBC tote for firewood, so there’s a spare large plastic square. We got some RGB solar lights to put inside & cut out shapes from a black plastic garbage bag. The shapes are adhered to the tote with rubber cement. When lit up, we’ve got a jack-o-lantern.
Today, we smoked a lamb shoulder and rack of pork ribs with cherry wood.
Both turned out juicy and delicious
After a year of work, the local lake is filled and water flowing over the new dam
We finally have the Ender 6 printing – you need to keep the fan on any time the hot end is heating (or it clogs up), low retraction (2mm), and adjust the z offset as it prints the skirt (or brim, we’ve switched to using a brim to ensure adhesion)
There are big clusters of these little mushrooms all over this week
We are clearing the woods by the river so the Ranger can drive along the river (and hopefully over the river). Making a little progress … you can actually see the river through the trees now.
Four different rubs, and smoked this afternoon while we worked.
The larger rack of ribs was perfect, but the smaller ones were pretty overcooked. I made smoked rib chili with them, though, and that worked well.
I took the Ryobi cutter along the river and found a Ranger-sized path. We got a tree puller, and have started clearing out the smaller trees by popping them out of the ground. Very fun!
