About to call a toy company and give them an earful. 

If you bought your kids the zoom tubes racer, the remotes may catch fire. This had batteries in it overnight, and its melting.

On my porch, sipping Bulleit, smoking some candied bacon.  Life is good.

Good thing that didn't happen in one of the wife's toys.

Looks like we’re tailgating the baby Jesus birthday.

We finally slowed down enough to process Christmas.  This may be my favorite present. 
Well maybe except for this

That’s a great t shirt. Merry Christmas to you and your family @bucky925

I just stumbled on this, don't know what rock I've been living under.  Seems like a bargain for 100k.

My Weber summit charcoal had a dent in the stainless band around the dome. Called them around 1 today and got an email tonight my new dome will be here Friday. Now that’s customer service.

Lools a lot like an Evora. Ali tub, same as Lotus. Carbon fibre body instead of GRP, keep the cost down by making the body in China. Is there a big market in the US for this kind of car, 4 pot turbo mid engined? Lots of the Lotus guys in the UK re-engine Elises with turbo motors and nuts power.

Only a couple of years too late.

I would venture that the market for this is quite restricted ($$ do drive that) but my assessments have mis-fired before.  The attachment to naturally aspirated V-8's or more is where the hook seems to still be planted.  But I'm not in the game other than a consumer.  FWIW-

Just took the tree down.  All boxed up and stored in the garage.

*Wife is out to dinner tonight with family.  She has no idea.

I made two goals for Christmas break. My first goal is to try Pho. My second goal is to find somewhere that serves descent spicy fried chicken.

I completed my first goal this evening. I went to Quangs in downtown Minneapolis. I can tell you that it did not disappoint. It was pork, brisket, and a meatball combination. It was some fantastic grub. I need to step up my chopstick game though. Can't wait to get back there again.

Finally finishing up these frikkin shrimp. I’m glad that the holiday cooking officially ends right now.

Looking good Scottie.  What's the rest of the family having for dinner?!

Thanks brother. In case you haven’t heard, I have dropped 64 pounds. I no longer gorge like I once did. I will eat a fair amount and call it good enough. 
I can’t lie though, I really miss eating like a hog.

I have phò weekly for lunch, and always try a new place on the weekends if I'm in Salt Lake City.  Welcome to the club!  
 
Didn't realize you were in Minnesota; my Mom's from Northrup (SW corner) and I've spent many weekends in Bemidji and Baudette (very N).

Pho is not easy to come by here, but there’s a place near our corporate offices that serves ramen and udon that I hit up if I’m ever there around lunch.  Love that kind of stuff, especially on a cool dreary day.

You know the school motto of Mississippi State? 
"Couldn't afford Ol' Miss."
Heard that on the radio in Oxford.

My cousin works part time out of Jackson, Minnesota. Half hour or so outside Northrup. My brother in law is from Luverne. About an 1.5 hours straight west. 

We have an unofficial BGE Fest just outside of Bemidji every year in February. Even the winter can be beautiful up in the woods!

My good friend is from Warroad. 35 minutes west of Baudette. That's some serious hockey up that way.

What a small world!  We always stopped for lunch in Jackson on the way to the grandparents (I grew up in Sioux Falls) and Dad worked for a couple years at some plant in Luverne!

The Twin Cities is usually the outcast but once in awhile we get recognized as one of the best cities in the nation for cuisine. The ethnicity here brings all kinds of different options when it comes to food. Which is fantastic. Andrew Zimmern lives a few towns over. He came for the food scene and never left. 

It's unfortunate that I try to avoid downtown as much as possible. It's really a great city with endless food options. I need to get out more often and expand this pallet. I'm truly missing out. Indian food is also on my short list. Too easy to get stuck eating a certain way....

There’s 70k people in our whole county.  Several small towns in the county.  Largest minority is Hispanic.  Not a lot of variety here.

I'm bummed Scottie's holiday thread got blasted.  I had some good zingers in there (I'm probably the only one that thinks this). 

Obviously the Buffalo is a, umm, not a supporter or what Scottie supports, whoever her name is that will not be mentioned in this thread.   I would have never guessed that in a million years.
