OT - What are you doing right now?

Frank, if you could give the camera lens a little wipe before you take your pictures maybe they won't look like how a very drunk person sees things...

I'm late to the cheese party. 20 blocks of cheese smoked with apple. I should have done this a few weeks ago for gifts. Oh well. My wife asked if I could throw in some summer sausage as well. I don't think it did too much with the casing on it. Worth a try anyways.

@bgebrent- I'm good with coffee based rubs as I frequently use one from Zingerman'a Deli in Ann Arbor.  I sent a bottle to @thetrim as part of his friggin victory package. 

PM sent and I'll trade one for one.  Thanks for the offer.  

@lousubcap @bgebrent  
I have a ton of the stuff. I will get you all you need. Just let me know.....

It looks excellent brother👍

@lousubcap That looks like a home run Sir. Fine work.

I'm giving creme brule a shot. Used the recipe from Chef Steps. We'll see how it goes.

@GATraveller it’s always a hit. That’s the recipe I made 30++ of last week for a work party. 

Best part is watching the various techniques that people use to finish the top.

Good to know. I borrowed a torch. Hopefully the sugar will brule.

Not sure which end is which.

I’m kinda drunk, but this whistle pig tastes good.

Food order pick-up. 
M&S done. 
Waitrose - I need progress.  
Could be home for breakfast before 0930.  Result!

You back yet? We just got in. The kids were supposed to have tidied up and fed the chickens. They're still in bed.

OK, I think I have figured out you guys are using an American redneck BBQ forum for back-channel covert communications.  My guess is you guys (or gals, no proof you aren't) are MI-6 having to make communiques outside the normal parameters and you needed some alternative communication channel.

Not like you're MI-6 in deep cover, you are likely working on some off-the-(official)-books operation in broad daylight, but with some professional obfuscation, probably exposing malfeasance at the highest levels by fascist operators colluding with Russian FSB.  

"Food order pick-up" = cache ready at dead drop

"M&S" done = mum got her sh*t (AKA briefing)

"Waitrose - I need progress" - Handler named Rose being told to wait, she's cheeky.

"Could be home for breakfast bla bla bla" - when you'll be back at HQ, and with good news.

Kids and chickens, these are code for double agents feeding misinformation to their (opposite side) handlers.   Still in bed means they aren't ready yet.

So obvious!  I should have figured this out hundreds of posts ago!

In fact, it makes sense you're MI-5 busting Brexit collusion on the local level.  Nigel Farage probably has a copy of the FSB's PeePee tape, and he used that to leverage US candidate support, and this all goes back to Sir James Goldsmith and UKIP back to 1994.

It's all making sense now, the nonsensical (to us naive 'mericans) chatter, probably an operation called "Soiled 51.9 Percent Diaper". 

Anyway, don't want to blow your cover, carry-on gents!

Close, but we're actually NSA spying on subversive elements in the BBQ community. Don't tell anyone.

By the way, Farage is so 2016. Today's racist right wing poster boy here is Tommy Robinson (aka Stephen Yaxley-Lennon). Nice chap with an extensive criminal record, although according to his supporters he was fitted up for all of these offences.

Consider yourself lucky if you wrench on your vehicle and it doesn't see snow and salt. I spent a good 15 minutes trying to knock these rotors loose with a mallet and hammer this afternoon.

 
Now do I try and convince my wife that this was part of her Christmas gift? Ugh. I hate shopping. 

Had my share of those, Most Mercedes are stuck w/o the salt treatment. Sometimes the wheels would stick as well.

I had the same issue with the wheels. I had to go around the wheels with a mallet. The roaters finally budged when carefully hitting it between the lugs. Fairly simple task but those roaters sure put up a fight.

When I was younger and still actually working on the cars, I would swing from the swaybars and kick them loose. That was a couple of pounds ago though.

In short, yes.  
But I have a moment, so strap in;
I went too early on my prediction.  
1 x 'sausage wreath' light - swapped in some smoked pork & chorizo sausages plus a bottle of Prosecco for free.
Close to departure, quick inventory check and no Duchy Original bacon wrapped sausage (aka pigs in blankets in Iceland) 

Check-out, load up and home.   Walk (and bath) dogs, then SWMBO drops the 'O' bomb.   Overcharged £14 for gammon.  Returned, refunded, apologies all around (naturally I did first, being British and all that) - a cheeky trip to the tip for some preventative bin emptying and cardboard disposal - now home (again).    Also gathered helium balloons, two of, wasted £4.50 not he stealth tax (lottery) and went to the Post Office.

Now sinking a decent cup of tea.

As for children, junior chauffeured me this origin,  went back to bed, ate a huge breakfast, went back to bed, now gone to gym.  
Senior is in Ho Chi Minh City - so of zero assistance.

Sun is sinking so nearly booze o'clock.

@SGH Sorry for your loss. My Golden Retriever is 9 this Christmas so I'm sure she doesn't have very many left in her. I'm dreading that day when her time comes. Looks like you gave your friend a nice resting place.

SaintJohnsEgger

I'm killing time waiting to get the ribs out and rubbed before they go on at around 1:00PM. Reviewing my plan in my head.
