Random (non-Jeep) Shit You’re Working On....

6 week aged beef

So... a couple of weeks ago I went out to dinner and wanted a steak. They had 30 day aged NY and I thought MMMM that sounds good.. It was. It was amazing. The next day I started thinking, I'd sure like more of that. The thought occurred to me to look up aging beef at home.. I like to do things on my own so WTH? It turns out it's not that hard to do. All you really need is a chunk of beef. I'm using a large New York cut.. about 11 pounds. A large plate or tray a rack for the meat to sit on a fan for air circulation and a mostly dedicated refrigerator. Oh yeah.. And time.. about 4-6 weeks or however long you want to age it.

I'm going for 6 weeks with mine.
The first pic is the day I put it in the fridge

The next pic is a few days later and as you can see it getting darker.

That's not just beef aging, it is a test of willpower.

Working on a hitch mount stroller rack. These double strollers take up too much damn room in the car. Turns out I can actually just drill 2 hitch pin holes to use this on my wife’s Highlander and the Jeep too.

That is a great simple design. You really could have something there.
 
Finished painting the house last week.
Now to finish up installing the last of the windows and a little bit of trim. Also going to use the leftover roofing materials to reside the hot tub. IMG_1006.jpgIMG_1007.jpgIMG_1008.jpgIMG_1009.jpg
