Probly 5-6 lbs for 2lbs finished.

I need to make another batch it's been a while. I have a couple hundred in gift cards to a local meat shpo.

My first few batches were rock hard impossible to chew cause I followed directions. Cut back on the time but unless you have perfectly uniform slices and fat content, it's inconsistent going by time.

Now I do it just by feel. After 2-3 hours I start feeling them checking their bend and looking at the fibers when I bend em. Once it looks and feels right those strips come out and get bagged to cool. The residual moisture steams the bag/meat and rehydrates slightly helps prevent hard edges.

Gonna be a long night at work. I have zero patients so just sitting here in case something comes up. And then I get to call someone in to take it.

Guess I can get a few weeks ahead on some paperwork and clean the unit.

Marinating some beef with a recipe that I grabbed off the internet. Gonna try to make some jerky in the oven tomorrow. I have some baking racks to put on a couple cookie sheets . Not the best set up but l might as well try it and see how it works out. Three or four hrs at 175 F. No expectations but worth a try.

RIP Matthew Perry

Initial report was he drowned in a hot tub?

Prolly errotic asphyxiation... just what I heard.. 😟

for his sake, we can only hope

Spent the day prepping the lawn for winter grass. I am a few weeks late but the summer grass was looking awesome and life just got in the way. Even with the right tools, my arse got kicked and I am a sore and tired mofo. I filled ten 33-gallon trash bags with lawn schwag. Tomorrow, seed goes down, the sprinklers get adjusted and then I wait for the germination...

Who dat?

Edit: I googled it. Friends. Never watched that show

And now I'm getting sick. Started getting cold, figured it was because I've not been running around. Asked the girls who are always cold they said it's not cold in here.

Temp 99.5. Probably picked up something at the airports or airplanes. Wife n kid were sick the whole time I was gone so they shouldn't still be contagious but that's possible too. Explains why I've slept 8+ hours and needed my alarm clock to wake up the past few days.

Guess I'm gonna burn more PTO and call off the next 2 nights. Get the same amount of attendance points for one shift or two consecutive shifts but 3 requires a drs return to work note so I'll get through the last 8 hours tonight.

Sunday Sunday Sunday

Drowned in a hot tub... no alcohol involved there, for sure. 😰
