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.

I like the way you think!

Just for fun I read all 27 pages of the How I do it Brisket post this morning.

I just started putting a small amount of soy sauce and just a touch of sesame oil in my scrambled eggs before cooking them.  Add some black pepper and Cajun seasoning, and you have a winner.

I did that a year or so ago. Good reading. Some of the longer threads I just have to skip to the end.

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!

And now we know that you know.  

You know what that means :  I'm Jester - you're Maverick.

I messaged Nola earlier to tell him that you actually are a spook. Just between us, not blowing your cover or anything.

Just dropped the rib roast on the egg at 225 and off to church. Will crank it up for a quicker finish before dinner time.

That don't look like no Egg. What brand of smoker is it? I'm looking to get a vertical smoker but I can't decide what to get. Maybe just go cheap then build something.

Up early having an espresso with the kids before the maximum destruction button went off. The only thing I needed to do was make some queso, get some green lightening shrimp started and make breakfast after the bomb went off.

Cracking open my second beer in an attempt to soothe my nerves.  Almost got T-boned twice within 1.5 seconds.  Luckily I have mastered the art of swerving to avoid people who can't obey basic rules of the road.  It was a bad idea to drive into town on Christmas eve.  I'm staying in for the rest of the year.

Recovering from a nice Christmas Eve Dinner with the family. 



All the the best from my family to yours.

My lovely wife enjoys decorating and hosting friends for Christmas.  I love the finished product but really hate lugging the boxes up and down the stairs.  In the end, it's all worth the effort.

That looks awesome but where’s your much acclaimed horseradish sauce?????? C’mon man!

Forgot to take a plated pic but it came out killer. 
Food coma in full effect but I have many miles to go before sleep. 

Creme Brule was tasty but my torch skills need work. 


Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Some dang fine groceries and settings posted up right now.  Congrats to @northGAcock, @bucky925 and @GATraveller.  Christmas eve is looking eggceptional.

Merry Christmas-

@bucky925, you and I have nearly-identical fireplaces, except you have a neat mantel and I don't.

I feel like I need to call my dad and apologize for being a little **** and refusing to leave Santa beer as a child.
