Woah, yeah actually. If we're talking Semi tractor trailer alternator.

Much bigger than say one off a camaro.

The guys in Brazil have huge alternators in their camaros and firebirds. They do it to power the ridiculous "sound" systems. Often the boxes are so large and cumbersome they have ports sticking a considerable distance past the outside of the car. Even though they make an attempt to satisfy Mr. Thiel and Small their work often sounds like the wind of a heard of elephants when they let the dogs out!

Are we talking about the same alternators?

They are much bigger than stock requiring mounting bracket retrofits, different pulleys and often have independent windings with external battery isolators, etc.

For your reference that is the butt end of the ham. The part of the leg closer to the hip bone. I much prefer this to the shank, which goes from the thigh to the knee.

Hams are the hind legs, not shoulders. That cut is called a boston butt.

That is just a difference between Canada and the States.

Yes, you are correct. Boston butt is the right term in the States.

Here we call it smoked picnic shoulder ham. We use the term ham interchangeably for a number of cured pork products.

My next cut will be a pork cottage roll.
