Saturday Shrimp Boil

This Saturday I spent the morning working on my new winch. I've got a few bumper modifications, and I'm about to make a few Grill mods. The winch I picked out has an air compressor built in! But it's a little big for the winch mount bumper I've got.

I'll try to get some pix up eventually, but I really haven't taken any.

Saturday afternoon we headed up to Jack and Sarah's place for a shrimp boil. We decided this came from Sarah's side of the family, 4 generation Coloradans, not from Jack's side of the family 1 generation removed from Louisiana. Go figure. But I think it's pretty much the same as the crawfish boil you've surely heard of. They just use shrimp instead... I've never been to either type boil before, but it sure was fun! You tell me if this is right.

Start up the boiler, toss in some spice packets, follow that up with some onions and Bratworst chunks, next some potatoes, then corn, and last but not least the shrimp! It was roughly 10-15 minutes between additions, and follow it up with toss it out on the table, and DIG IN!

Can't wait to see the new winch! We went out this weekend and the Jeep has developed a new clunk. Not sure what's up now. Have to look into it when we get back from vacation.
