Not enough trash means you've been doing a good job over the year, Ken.
Congrats on a diminishing haul! Sorry I missed it this time, hopefully you guys found someone to take my spot in Yeller Pines.
Next year!

God lovya Rodger, and the steer ya plan on raisin for our benefit.
I looked up "SQUICK" and it pretty much means what it sounds like:
To shock with outrageous behavior.
As in, "We totally squicked some tourons."
Like I said, Meat. Then you said, Meet.
We'll meet over the meat together next Facelift and light some coals under the vegans, total squick, we'll really wind them up. I'll see ya in Mariposa.
Hudon's nephew, Phil, I think it is (?), said he really looks forward to more burger flipping, too.

Hey Mousey, fun meeting you! As for Hudon's nephew flipping...I think he took care of the second batch from Phyl which totally worked for me.
The whole thing about "AssHole" (the bbq'ed heifer's name as per Rodger), well, just cuz he didn't like him he sends him on the one way trip and comes back all wrapped in nice neat little white packages...just seems like bad karma. Just sayin'

Hey Susan!
I never give obnoxious names to my STEERS; I'd never do a heifer that way, anyway!
His name: Baloney Butt! He weighed in at 1850 pounds before he took his one-way trip to the butcher shop. He was 29 months old at the time, and most of it was spent on the free range, so he had a longer life than a commercial steer. I raise my animals in the most humane manner possible, given their predetermined outcome.
On the other hand, I have some of my cows that I raised from tiny calves that are now 14 years old; I seldom sell them, and I've buried many that spent their entire lives here.
If I have a true Asshole cow or steer, I simply sell them to an unsuspecting buyer at the cattle auction.

Somebody made some excellent pickles that worked perfectly on the burgers. I should remember who, but have forgotten this fine soul's name.

Edit: I posted this after I saw Nita's last photo. Behold, the pickles as we waited for the burgers to be ready!

Cat herding has never been so easy! Too many great encounters to name them all. I truly look forward to doing it again next year.
For me its more like a reunion and a celebration of earths bounty. Thank you everyone for making another successful event memorable. It is an honor to serve our community. Hopefully it wont be a whole year before we meet again.
Great posts one and all.

The pickles were created and supplied by notorious mobster Joey Pickles (JOEY.F), who styled his first trad lead the same day ("Sorry, but I'm going to sew it up," followed by placing a piece every 50 feet).

paging Joey F. Seeing how his name keeps coming up on this thread, inquiring minds want to know what he looks like first thing in the morning.
Matt Moore was looking slim and svelte. Matt was instrumental in getting Chuck Goldman and family to the Facelift and it was Chuck's first visit to the Park in maybe 20 years or more. Surprised that no one has commented on his return. Perhaps many old dads can't forgive him for stealing their girlfriends.
Look up in the sky! It's Albert Einstein, it's Jerry Garcia, it's.......

I guess I missed that you had provided the beef.
Was a great Yeller Pines party. Sorry I got there late and didn't get to chat with as many people as I'd have liked. Somehow I spent too darned much time this year climbing and facelifting. Will have to schedule my time better next year.
Facelift #5 for me and each one is more fun than the previous.

Additionally, I use no growth hormonal implants, antibiotics, or any other growth stimulants in my animals. They're not "organic" but 100% "naturally raised." They get lots of good feed (hay and grain) during the winters, as well as all needed mineral and vitamin supplements.
