When I took the bottom round out to put in the smoker I saw this duck in my top pond.

It kept diving & playing around so I took a couple pics from my deck. You can see the circles from it just surfacing again.

The ducks and geese are still walking on top of our lakes. Nice to see some open water.

It hasn't been open very long. As soon as it thawed ducks & geese started stopping & spending a night or two on the lower pond before moving along.

I decided to make some stuffed taters for one of the things to go with the bottom round.

Very juicy 

  These things have amazing flavor if you do them right

The reason I cut it in half is because of a couple people who won't eat their meat unless it is turned into leather - therefore...

While I was grilling a couple awesome homemade sausages...

PICT1504.JPG

I threw some slices on to turn them into strips of leather.

• smoking b
• Apr 6, 2014

Pretty well leatherized...

PICT1508.JPG

• smoking b
• Apr 6, 2014

The sausages were great! The leather strips must have been good too because a few more slices were requested
