Playing paintball, collecting paintball guns.

20120122022944.jpg

I want to eat all of those things. Except the bike and the paintball guns. And you. I mean, I would, if it were dire circumstances and you were dead anyway, or were just on the wrong side of things.

Hey, what grill is that?
 
The Grill is a Char Griller Kamodo Cooker, kinda like a poor mans Big Green Egg.

There is Bacon wrapped meatballs, and Bacon wrapped Jalapenos

In the skillet is a smoked Mac and Cheese.

Smoked Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients:

1 16oz box large macaroni noodles
2 cans Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup
1 cup Milk
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar (sharp or not, up to you)
4 to 6 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled

Directions:

Cook the macaroni noodles by the directions on the package. Drain the water in a colander and return the noodles to the boiling pot. Add the two cans of cheddar cheese soup, the milk, the shredded parmesan cheese, and the crumbled bacon and mix well. Dump the mixture into a casserole dish (I used an 8×8″ cast iron pan) and then spread the shredded cheddar on top. Put it in the smoker at about 250° for an hour. I smoked mine with hickory but other woods would work as well. The cheese absorbs a good bit of smoke flavor!

I also do a pretty mean Bacon Explosion

Here's my latest toy. I put about 900 rounds through it this weekend.
From 22 caliber to 54 caliber, It's all good. Rimfire, centerfire and muzzle loaders.

My daughter is the biggest thing in my life and the center of most of my activities, but I love guns, old cars, longbows, hunting, camping and fishing.

And of course beer!

This is the reason I got into brewing. So I could have a good beer while working on my rusty nuts and busted knuckles on these Oliver tractors :ban:

I love the ocean and marine life, hiking/camping and visiting parks, kayaking, my truck and my wife, my dog, and IT stuff.
Not pictured: my daughter, guitar, music, swimming, cooking, fishing, woodworking, photography, and any diy stuff. I have many passions and not enough free time... I've recently gotten into smoking meats and shooting guns!

I could show you, but it'd be XXX rated. Why do you think I have 6 kids?! But I was into these for years, wish I'd uploaded the older that digital ones...
Won best in class that time at Midwest Mazdafest.
 
I have too many hobbies to cover easily, but here are the big ones I bounce between:

Bringing this old girl back, 1973 R75/5, this was after a ride with my dad and sis:

And on a ride with my sis:

Plus my fiance has a project car we're restoring, shooting to have it done for the wedding next summer...this was right before it left for paint:

Ice fishing, my daughter loves fishing of all types which is awesome:

This is my old reef tank, a 265gal custom in-wall setup...I'm in between aquarium projects right now but I have a 220gal sitting dry waiting to be set up:

And, I play men's roller derby. Yes, seriously.

I've got an old Minneapolis-Moline I've been working on for years. Up until a few years ago it was still running great on the farm. But when the farm went under we kept the tractor.

Also do woodworking, when the 1 year old lets me.
And garden.
