I got back to the house last night from work and the wife had a little present waiting for me!  That would be 75 lbs of pork bellies.  I guess I know what she wants from me before I head back to work in two weeks. Photos to come.

Now that's what I call a great welcome home present, sounds like you'll have lots to do for the next couple of weeks.

That is a wonderful welcome home present! While you are off from work send some of that great smelling smoked pork bellies down here to the lower 48.

Sounds like a great present to me  ;)

Well it has been a long day!  Got all 75lbs. trimmed up and rubbed down with cure.  Also managed get a new fridge out of the deal.  It has been a good day.

You have been busy and a new fridge, I could only be so lucky. I did pick up a 13.5lb belly to cure along with 4 butts totaling 30lbs, 3 for sausage and one for pulled pork.
