Jacks Fork - Yes!

There is no doubt that trip was a win, at least most of it.  While I hated the drive we did get introduced to some new country and a potential pledge for the hoard.  Fire Thighs, Polamalu, or Wine Guy (whatever you want to call him) impressed me with his own brand of river moxie.  Great weather on day one made for some amazing miles of new river.  The Jackal Odometer has been updated   One of the standouts of the trip was the food.  My hat goes off to all those that had a hand in camp cooking, food was amazing.  I was most impressed with the On-The-Go Jalapeno poppers that came out of the stripper.  Second day started with a little cool rain but ended up beautiful.  While Scott's cooler didn't fair so well (apologies if anyone else had something stabbed by me, I will rectify it if you let me know) it was an overwhelming success.  While I cant remember the context of this picture due to my chronic blackouts, it sums up the way I feel about the Jacks Fork.  Like a shirtless Goose and Maverick on the beach volleyball course, Popcorn and the Motorboater delivered.

Canoe Fire!


Sometimes things just need to happen.  Paddling a raft with a guitar, chopping snakes into small bits, and setting fires in canoes all top that list.  The first float was on a classic stretch of Shoal Creek with a nice group of Jackals, which resulted in the incinerated lawn chair video.  While no animals were harmed in the making of this video it did create a small hole in the ozone layer which Al Gore is extremely pissed off about.  Its best to quit watching after about 40 seconds, the cameraman was drunk and is also bad at editing video.

Jackal Float is only 8 days out.  I hope the people along the Jacks Fork put their lawn chairs away!

Scotch Egg Reboot

These new Scotch Eggs are crescent roll wrapped and baked, instead of coated in bread crumbs and pan fried.  I feel these changes make them much more practical for bank breakfasts, just chunk them into a dutch and chooch it. The egg pictured is made with hot Italian sausage, I'm also working on a corned beer and hash recipe.  So be prepared to drive some of these dirty bastards into ya.  The list of possible new names include "Skanky Eggs" and "Hillbilly Knish".
