OT - What are you doing right now?

DMW

Had some rather awesome weather today.
Winston agreed:



Had a beer this afternoon, because why not?


Grilled some boneless skinless chicken breasts on the Hasty Bake:


Big Guy had a baseball game tonight, ended early due to a thunderstorm, but they won.

Weekends are too short.

The brisket finale before the GOT finale.  It wasn’t bad.

I asked my wife what she wanted for a gift. Her response, "Will you clean my car?" She knows how I clean my vehicles. It's way more than her running a vacuum through it and calling it good. 

Here I am 7 hours later and still not finished. The seats and carpet are vacuumed and shampooed. Windows, console, and dash tomorrow. Why couldn't she have just asked for a necklace or some earrings!

Mmm-'kay, you remove the front seats when you clean a vehicle?
 
You win.  
 
EDIT:  And now that I see your level of intensity, how DO you clean windows?  Dad taught me to use Windex and crumpled-up newsprint, which is abrasive and really cuts thru the film but I always see missed spots as I'm driving into the sun.  Suggestions?  

I did my wife's car last week, had to take all the seats out, it was gross. 

For windows I use the invisible glass spray and diamond weave microfiber towels. They dont leave any fibers behind and are good for scrubbing any gunk off the glass.

It looks like Navy is the whipping boy for Army!

Bridget just called me, she is heading to a massage appointment and was on the Crescent City Connection Bridge - big bridge that connects the east and west banks of New Orleans. 

Dude jumped off from the top of the bridge.   190 feet to the water.

She called 911.  Took a minute and a half to answer.  They transferred her to state police.  Another minute and a quarter hold.

Not that it's an emergency at the point.  Hitting the water from that height is like hitting concrete.

I hope the massage helps.

I'm far from a professional. Windex and paper towels here. We use Windex and coffee filters for our glass tables inside the house. That will give you a streak free finish. That's a lot of coffee filters for a vehicle though. 

The Weathertechs do a descent job collecting most stuff. It's the damn dog hair that gets everywhere. The seats take under 10 minutes to remove with an impact wrench and disconnecting wires. It makes removing dog hair and shampooing the seats a million times easier. 

Edit: Just make sure you have a OBD scanner if taking your seats out. It might pull up a code and light up your dash with an airbag warning. The OBD scaner is a good tool to have if you don't have one. Just a heads up for anyone who takes out their seats for some reason or another. 

Disconnect the battery. It is possible to set off SRS ETR's when disconecting them. That will ruin your day. I make lot's of $$$ on body shops that ignore this advice.

That wouldn't have been very fun. I should have done that as a precaution from the very start. I appreciate the nudge. Thanks!

@nolaegghead that's horrible.

Hope Bridget's doing ok. That's gotta be just awful to see.

We have the Sunshine Skyway that has it's own website dedicated to jumpers.  Just awful that someone would feel that helpless to do that.

I have done an Outback (moderate on the complex) and more recently on my Crosstrek. The Crosstrek was a MF....especially with no help. Hope yours went well.

@nolaegghead I was the first arriving where a pedestrian got hit by drunk driver. He had no chance. The person that called it in was a bicyclist out on his morning ride. He saw something horrific that morning that he could not have been prepared to see. 

I don't know you or her, but please keep up with her emotional/ mental state (as I'm sure you already are). Traumas are a b!tch.

Looks like it’s going to be a rough night in the Midwest. Stay safe everyone.

Start to finish in just under an hour, I did the one like the factory that bolts where the bumper beam is. I was able to cut the bottom fascia so I retained the original clip under there

Hug her well tonight @nolaegghead   Hearing about death and seeing it are two different things. 

nolaegghead

She is fine.  She sees plenty of death at her job.  It's never pretty, but inevitable on a cardiac unit.

JRWhitee

That is unfortunate she had to witness that. Sorry Carey.

Cindy found a larger food processor on let go ($15). Anyhow, I've been getting friendly reminders from friends that they were out or about out of fire roasted salsa.  We did a double batch this afternoon to calm the natives.  Once again a huge thanks to @westernbbq for this!

nolaegghead

They never found a body....

Prime ribeyes.  Cooked them very low for about 15 minutes until 115F, then cranked up the heat and seared.   About 123F internal at the finish.  Like buttah.

@nolaegghead ate Costco steaks. May he RIP.

Trying to figure out how much my insurance is about to go up. Wife is taking the two oldest to get their DL permits.

Halved a couple of chickens today. Salted at 7 this morning and left in the fridge uncovered until about 5. Rinsed and dried then added pepper and cooked raised direct on the XL. Once the skin had crisped nicely, I brushed on a mixture of Sambal Oelek, Franks Hot Wings sauce, soy sauce, a dash of vinegar and a spoon of honey. Additional layers of sauce added as each dried. Skin was great, chicken juicy. A big hit.

Sitting here at discount tire wishing I owned a franchise. Sheesh. Doesn’t matter what time of day you come here it’s always stupid busy. Oh and just had wife’s car appraised by State Farm after hail storm last month. 10k in damages. Fun times.
