The second try on the Bologna sausages has worked better. They lost 13% weight in a bit over two weeks. I cut one down to try it; it's got great texture. The flavor - well, it's on the salty side from laying in salt for two days as the recipe directed. Also heavily peppered, although cracking the pepper this time worked much better. They are still fairly moist, like a summer sausage texture.

I think I'm going to let the others continue hanging for another month or so until they lose a total of 30% weight. That should dry them more to salami density. The recipe doesn't specify either way.

Old Tim, actually. First three chapters and a plot outline for a book proposal he did when he was 26.
