Folding canvas chairs are for passing out drunk in.

After a month or so the Javelin Pro made its journey in the mail. Not a bad deal for $29.99 if you don't mind the wait with
Massdrop. The backlit screen will be a nice upgrade from my original Thermapen. It's been over 8 years with my Thermapen. That thermometer doesn't owe me a dime.

These guys decided to make their home in my companies courtyard. Now no one can go out there because these guys are apparently protected.

Wifey wants a new patio set. I bought a couple cans of spray paint and brought some life back to the old table. Wifey approves. $2k crisis averted (for the time being).

The KJ Roadshow was at my local Costco today... you know I poo poo'd them at first, but I got a long hard look at the XL version and walked away impressed. I really like the band and hinge system and the gasket.  The band itself seems far more beefy and stable at quick glance. Don't like the plastic handle tho.  The deep red was far more aesthetically pleasing than the baby puke green on my BGE.  I don't regret my purchase, but if I was buying over again I would be a tougher choice.

Your egg is Booger Green? I think you got a knock off. Mine is a rich forest green like the mountains of Colorado or the rolling hills of Ireland. I think you need to ask for a refund.

Enjoy the transition to your new job.  Change is a good thing (until you get too old    ).

The red was just really nice looking comparatively, forrest green is kinda dull IMO. It certainly wasn't cheaper tho and came with all the adjustable crap I'd never use.  Just saying my opinion of KJ went up a notch after spending more time with them today.

That made the MSM this evening and I am most appreciative of that.  Good for the Brits to give us a little instruction in class these days.  I am not crossing the line in view of the level of this thread.

Drooling over the 2 Prime tomahawk Ribeyes I picked up at Costco today. And drinking an Old Fashioned w/Buffalo Trace from my new favorite book on cocktails -  Liquid Intelligence by Dave Arnold. This is the best book on cocktails I've ever read. This guys has the Kenji/FoodLab approach to liquor and it's fascinating.  He's also the same dude that invented the SearzAll.
