OT - What are you doing right now?

CBD is an amazing thing.

Just had a bowl of Hatch Green Chile Stew.  Chiles were a bit milder this year, IMO.  Used my pressure cooker this time, didn't get it put together for the crock pot last night like I intended.  Delish.
Also watched Steve Reichlin on PBS, he made a pork loin, wrapped in homemade bacon, but stuffed with baked beans and maple syrup??  He poured about 4 cups into a butterflied loin, waaay too much, and by the time he sliced it looked like there was maybe a half-cup still in the meat.  It didn't look, or sound good; think I'll be passing on that one...

Gronk telling the world’s leading neuroscientist on CTE that he's wrong about brain damage is kind of amazing.  

Fixed with a strict regiment of whippets and vodka mixed with water.

(I had to googlez "whippet", guess it's also a drug in what looks like a CO2 cartridge)

Cheesecake in a water bath on the Egg.  It's a first for me.  Guests coming for desert at 7, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. 
I decided I might as well throw on a platter of beef ribs just because.

@JohnInCarolina Nope-just a football player in De Nile.  There are likely rocket scientists and nuc weapons experts within the same group.  All you have to do is ask 'em.

Nitrous Oxide  for whipped cream dispensers ...Steve-O from Jack Ass was highly addicted to them

Just finished one of those Apple desktop major computer upgrades (part II).  Rolled with good luck on Friday, Sep 13th for part I.  All good here-came over to the Apple desktop (imac) dark side in 2013.  Would never go back.  (And that could be written about a lot of experiences in my life ). 

I am even seriously contemplating a trip to the Apple iphone dark side soon after decades of android.  Any phone move I will make will result in a better camera for me to hose up forum pics, so there's that!

@lousubcap the new iPhone Pro just came out.

Thanks (and aware) but that is so far more than I need that it's not in the mix.  I don't lean on my phone for much as I generally operate under the guideline of "Wherever I am and whatever I am doing is more important that whatever/whomever may be trying to reach me on the phone unless I am expecting an important call."  When driving the friggin phone is sitting solidly in the OFF mode.  Yes bluetooth and hands-free equipped vehicles but that's a distraction that I don't need, especially since many other drivers think other-wsie.  Off mini soap-box.

I think he was mentioning it because the biggest upgrade of that model is to the camera.

I've always used Macs at home and Wintel machines at work.  I can't do a fair comparison as I think a lot of the crap on my work machine I have to put up with is due to firewalls, security crap, and general guv'mint add-ons.  That being said, if I had as much trouble with my home computer as I do at work, my home wouldn't have one.
 
Oddly, though, I use an Android phone.  Like @lousubcap, I rarely need a phone "on the go", and my $60 LG smartphone on the Tracfone system ($100/year, NOT /month!) does everything I need; the Apple stuff is just too pricey for me.  The Tracfone even interfaces with my new car and puts Googlez Mapz on my car's screen, w/ button and voice activation; neat!

I fired up the MMX at lunch time to do some king prawns with chilli and garlic (no pics). Since it was already hot, I followed up with a piece of topside, cooked direct at about 300F for maybe 90 minutes to brown, then in foil on the Egg for about 90 minutes until I put the chicken on. Beef had another 90 minutes or so in a low oven and was then pulled. Served with salad and sour dough bread. A long dog walk meant I didn't make slaw, which would have been perfect.

@johnnyp You could have at least tossed a smiley face in with the above post.  But I am not big on pics and that is not new.  Leroy "Satchel" Paige; "Don't look back, somethin' might be gainin' on ya."  So, I will just blame the operator for the next version of hosed up food pron!

So what did you upgrade on your iMac? RAM? Hard drive?

lousubcap

@Heavy G being a low-level luddite all I did was upgrade the OS to High Sierra 10.13.6 yesterday and then today loaded the Mojave 10.14.6 heavy duty app.  Orders of magnitude from a power user so all the internal guts are more than enough for me.  I used to do the RAM  adds in my prior Windows life but I have decided to "simplify my life" and since the horsepower I have far exceeds my needs, I leave that alone.  FWIW-

@lousubcap wasn’t intending to give you grief, Frank. Just wasn’t sure if you knew.

I went looking for my apron yesterday because I needed it for an event today. Couldn't find it and figured it was lost in the move so I used a BGE one that I've had.

My aunt just showed up with it. She took it and embroidered my IG handle in it and the BGE logo.

^^^ That driftwood pergola is cool, and a very unique background.

@lkapigian - Didn't know you were a professional photographer as well... 

I just figure you know the couple and then served up a friggin banquet for the lucky attendees.  Little do those who enjoyed know how well they had it.

If I missed the mark it would not be close to the 100th time. My apologies. 

Have a great remainder of the weekend.

Finally found some decent peaches, so I made some peach bourbon jam, with ginger and a hint of habanero.
