It all started in 1885.  My great-grandparents settled in the north woods of Wisconsin, bringing with them family meat snack recipes and an adventurous pioneer spirit.  Their time-honored tradition of using only premium cuts of meat and the finest spices and seasonings still holds true today.

My family is still here in Northern Wisconsin, taking pride in the products we make, and quietly becoming America's #1 brand of jerky and meat snacks.  Quality, tradition, and a spirit of adventure have been our way of life for over 100 years.  So go ahead...Find your favorite.  The family name on the package is my personal guarantee of satisfaction.

Enjoy!

There isn't really a whole lot of shit I dislike, well there is, but whatever.  I'm not much of a reader unless it's internet news or techie stuff.  I admit having a short attention span which is why big bulky books never wore onto me.  I usually struggled in high school to get through the summer reading assignments..though 3 books I read and enjoyed were "Of Mice and Men", "The Water is Wide" and "Night" by Elie Weisel (sp?)..

I am a hardcore movie lover.  My DVD library boasts about 400 titles...Some of my favorites include, in no particular order, Goodfellas, Casino, Gladiator, Tombstone, 300, The Boondock Saints, Talladega Nights, Friday Night Lights...or anything with DeNiro, Will Ferrell, Chris Farley or Adam Sandler.  I'm pretty big on comedies.

TV shows I like are The Office, House, Heroes, The Big Bang Theory, the News, Hannity. 

I love Stand-up too.  My favorite comedian has to be Rodney Carrington.  Knockin' back some beers with some buddies and li ... Read more ...

It's snowing outside, pretty good too.  The Great White Death.  Here in Ohio it's kind of a joke because the local news media tends to exaggerate the situation.  Like tonight, they've cut in the television about once on the hour to update me, even hours before it started snowing.  You have to understand that we rarely get nailed with the kind of snowfall that warrants this kind of attention.  This isn't the blizzard of '77. No, they expect 3-4 inches by morning.  People up north laugh at us because even with 3-4 inches everything turns into pandemonium. I don't get offended because I know I'm not an idiot (at least in this case) and can drive in the snow.

On the average work day, I wake up, late, and it's about a 30-minute trek, with heavy traffic, into the office.  Throw 3-4 inches on the road and it's more like an hour and a half...seriously.  What's worse is if there is a quick, heavy snowfall in the mid afternoon, 3-4 inches, or even a really bad sleet/freezing rain.  For the past coupl ...

Should have known it.  When I drove home from work Friday night and saw the Full Moon (or nearly a full moon..I didn't look at the calendar)..Has anything gone right this weekend, or worked correctly for that matter? 

I come home Friday after a long boring day at the office and all I wanted to do was unwind with the massive online killing of other Call of Duty players on XBox Live.  Instead, I scratched my balls for 3 hours...just as entertaining.  No. I come home and kick on the XBox only to see 3 Red Rings.  Exactly 3 months after I got it back from Microsoft.  Yep, 3 months ago, I got 3 red rings and had to send it in for repair.  Ya know, in the year and 2 months I've owned an Xbox, I've come to realize that their repair is about as reliable as a narcoleptic airplane pilot.  This will be the FOURTH time that I will need to send it in. FUCKING RIDICULOUS.  I guess it really isn't surprising considering these consoles have a greater than 16% failure rate.  I know people who have multiple ... Read more ...

Possibly the most positive thing I can think of right now as a result of an Obama win.  As far as I'm concerned, I think we can rip the race card right in half and throw it on the floor.  How can this man possibly use race as an excuse when a country with a 13% black population elected a mixed race president, who is predominantly african. It cannot be done. So long Jesse, don't forget your cross!

That aside, I'm not bitter McCain lost.  I'm more bitter at the republican party in general.  I'm happy for Obama.  Despite my strong disagreements with what he stands for, this is a historic event and I'm glad I got to see it. Cheers.
