    Hah.  Monday I had my last Suicide Prevention Awareness Training.  There are some things I'll miss from employment, but:
    - Sexual Trafficking in Persons,
    - Ethics Awareness,
    - Operations Security,
    - Sexual Harrassment and Racial Ethics,
    - Communications Security,
    - Fire, Earthquake, and Tornado Preparation
    ....are not among them.

    I see that Breville has bought the Joule/ChefSteps company.

    Probably a good thing as Breville makes some decent appliances and if it helps keep ChefSteps going and growing I'll be a happy longtime ChefSteps paid member.

    Perhaps Breville will make a version of the Joule with some controls/display so one doesn't have to use a device to operate the thing.

    @smokingal I just trimmed two packers I’ll put on tomorrow. Sadly they look nothing like that wagyu you have there. Enjoy!

    Incredible. Just send me the address and the time it will be ready. 😊 Whatever you do with it will be magic.

    @smokingal Better to be lucky than good any day.  29+ lbs of beef goodness could mean a new cooker intervention.  I'm pretty good with getting an oversized brisket into my LBGE but have never gotten within 10 lbs of that size, much less quality. 
    However, if it can and likely will be done-you will be the one who will make it happen.
    I have no doubt that my credit limit couldn't touch that.  =)

    @lousubcap Japanese butchery is quite a bit different from Western standards (ie cutting by seams), so when I'm done, it will have been trimmed to a normal sized packer.  These contain the whole point, as it extends up toward the neck, shown in that last photo.  That's a good 8-9 inches of it's length that will be removed.  No new cookers, lol.

    Any chance you are willing to document the process, including trimming, from start to finish? I’m sure that you’d find an enthusiastic audience here. 

    I’ll PM you my address so that you can send me the trimmings. 😊

    1st step to a lifetime of frustration 
    Why would you do that to a kid?  ;) Taught all 3 of mine the basics - none really took to it.  But when they're ready they'll have a foundation!

    Looks like bacon.....how much do you think it will trim out to?

    This is encouraging to me.  My first arrival from Amazoid's Prime Sale this past weekend is a FireTVStick 4K, and a subsequent arrival (probably the last, 3 weeks from now) will be a $9 book on how to use the damn thing.  I've already experimented with the "Hulu Live" website, and it looks like it only gets NBC of the local networks, but my OTA antenna is now picking up CBS again; probably need to rescan the entire TV and puzzle thru some things.  
    Hope you can post your experience soon, I'll do the same!

    The more I look at it the more it looks like a combination of a turbo 911, Lambo and McLaren. All 3 of which I’d choose before it. It does however have a good look.

    I've seen a few renderings of it. I'm interested in seeing how close it is to the picture. They already lost me with the missing 3rd pedal. The new ZR1 in manual transmission will be the collector car in the future for newer Vettes

    The rear end looks like garbage. It looks like a new Camaro rear end. The rest of the car is a little more appealing.

    Finally.  They move up significantly in the pecking order with a mid engine.

    @WeberWho Sadly standard transmissions are slower.  It should be an option tho
