Same. Years ago, at a different house, one of the hurricanes that season brought one down and a guy removed it for the lumber. Black walnut is fairly common here. It's pretty valuable slabbed and kiln dried.
Somehow squirrels eat those things. The shells are as hard as rock.
That piece has some seriously crazy grain going on.
My mother said the best way to "shell" a black walnut was to throw them into a gravel driveway. Drive over them for a while to get off the outer green part, and then tackle the inner hard shell.
My mother made pound cakes every Christmas, and would put black walnut in some of the loaves. I know many people don't like it, but I love it in pound cake. And I've got some Black Walnut Bitters that make an awesome Manhattan.
Yay. My Grandmother made the cakes also. Ice cream too. Well, she didn't crank the old ice-cream maker. That was us kids job. lol
Never had a special drink with it. Sounds delish.
Walnut is awesome. I have a black walnut tree in the backyard and 2 tree guys have offered to remove it for free. It's a mess in the fall... but I'd miss it.

You have certainly expressed unhappiness with your current position. You've got skills, start by looking for other options. There may well be some opportunities out there.
You got this. I'm going to make him fall and break something on his body today. I haven't decided what yet. Depends on how bad he pisses you off. An ankle maybe, but if he really acts up, I'm going for the femur.
