Get together at the CPK compound on November 12th, the day after the cutting competition.

I’m sending three cans of Surströmming with Mike157 Mike157 for the eating competition before the cutting competition.


Good luck, gang.



You’ll need it.






…dear, sweet Jesus, you’ll need it.

🤣🤣🤣 Sounds delicious! Maybe I’ll open a can on the plane.😬 I’ll make sure the cans are warm when arriving, just to give the fermentation process a good kick. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity, Matt!
 
I'm still trying to workout making this. Looks like the kid has a basketball evaluation in the morning on Saturday the 11th for her league draft. So, I would be a Saturday afternoon to evening arrival. I would overnight Saturday and maybe Sunday, depending on how late anything is happening at the compound on Sunday. Now, I like camping, but like I said to Yoko, I like heat, showers and mattresses even more, and since Nathan hasn't invited me in the house yet, I am gonna hotel it somewhere. That leaves me with two questions......

1. I know where Yoko is gonna be, but where is everyone not camping at the compound staying?

2. Nathan the Machinist Nathan the Machinist / Jo the Machinist Jo the Machinist , what is the itinerary for Sunday? I don't wanna miss anything, but I don't want to overstay my welcome either.

In a thread elsewhere about things that shouldn't be microwaved at work (eg burnt popcorn, stewed cabbage, any kind of fish), I mentioned that it would be evil for someone on their last day at a job they dislike, to put this stuff in the microwave and set the timer for 2 hours before leaving 😅

When I was naught but a wee spry lad, I sold and designed obscenely excessive car audio systems. I worked with a truly exceptional and gifted installer, who - like me -knew how to up the ante. Another sales guy made the fool mistake of pulling a few pranks on him. They went back and forth with the antics, each time the effects getting stronger, until the sales guy jammed the installer’s door locks full of gum in the winter, where the gum froze. The installer retorted with what I feel, unequivocally, is the best bully move ever.

He waited until Spring.

He started by walking across the street to the grocery store and buying a single littleneck clam, which he stashed in the freezer. He then waited until the sales guy was tied up with a customer that he KNEW was going to take a long time, stole his car keys, and pulled it into the install bay. He pulled the passenger seat, and inserted the frozen clam between the seam where the front and rear carpets overlap, reinstalled the seat, and returned the car and the keys.

It took a couple days for the clam to start to rot.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not locate the source of the stench.

The sales guy went weeks with having to drive with his windows open because the smell was so overpowering.

It always escalates. A guy I worked with and a plumber from his home town who he knew in high school got into this type of tomfoolery on a job site. After my coworker, the electrician, stuffed his pickles from lunch under the plumber door handles on his truck, the plumber did nothing for a few days. He waited until the next rainy day. He took grease and coated my coworkers windshield wipers after lunch. End of the day when my coworker jumped in his truck to head home and turned on his wipers he discovered the problem. It took him a couple hours to get all the grease off before he was able to drive home.
It should have stopped there.
It didn’t.
I keep saying “truck” but these are actually white panel vans. So not to be outdone, my coworker made up a sign that said something about liking young boys and then had the plumbers cell number. He rigged this sign up under the tail end of the plumbers truck with zip ties and some large rubber bands. With the vehicle not moving the sign pulled up out of sight. While driving the wind pulled the sign down for others to see. It took three days before one of his coworkers saw the sign while following him at lunch and let him know about it.
He did not find it amusing.
It came to an end that day… after a physical altercation.
 
Hi Marc!

I was thinking about maybe 12:00 for the Outlaw Cut and dinner after. I am not sure of everyone's schedule, but I am going to be very busy Saturday. Anyone wanting to hang out Sunday evening is welcome to. We can have a fire and hang out. (and play with knives of course)

Jo

PS Nathan and I haven't actually discussed timing...

Right now it looks like I have 11-12 for the Sunday race if you are attending.

Great news! As long as he's not competing in the Chop.

You know he will be! The competition will be for a distant second :D

My goal is to get to the Saturday Chop in time to watch, then camp, compete on Sunday and head home in the late afternoon so I can be home to see my little one off to school Monday morning.

I'm about 8.5 hours but traffic between here and the Carolina's can be 'sketch' (as the kids say) at best.

They probably all have skinners already, so their hearts won't be in it😁
