I guess boats are a sensitive subject around here.

That should be flagged for awesomeness.

Do you collect drippings or do they evaporate?

All evaporates , I put a slit in each pepper ( not the Fresnos) to aide in moisture removal ...makes for some amazing powders

We may get plenty of tri-tip here but I don’t see beef back ribs very often. Saw some today while at the store and just lit my egg to put them on. 107* here again today so no hanging out by the grill, inside beers only for me today.

Did some pork on the MMX yesterday. Deep scored the skin and salted for a few hours before cooking. As usual, I removed the skin and finished in the oven to crackle.

Today was a quartered chicken with a Brazilian spice mix from a packet. Chicken was good, the spice mix meh. Sliced up some haloumi as well.

Our son Tim works for the county historic department and he's been out on a dig this week. Here's a picture of part of the dig, which is about 8 miles from our house. The conical object is the metal boss from the centre of what was probably a leather shield. It's a Saxon burial site, grave goods are commonly buried with high status individuals to help them in the afterlife. The site is dated as 5th century AD.

Please start new thread, don’t want to see this thread sink again. Oops may be I should avoid using the word sink

Carnitas on the egg, and braised pork in chillies in the big timer box.  Braised pork was a quick audible due pork shoulder not all fitting in the cast iron pan.

is this the warming box for your offset?

The choice was bake cookies or pressure wash the driveways, porch, and sidewalk. Dreading the water bill. On the other hand the dirt was hiding all of the dripped paint from house painting. I might have to paint the concrete front porch a uniform color.

This did not suck

Meatloaf sounded good.

How far do you take these when you smoke them? I mean, do you smoke them a bit to give them flavor and pull ‘em, or do you leave them in until they are fully dehydrated?
Actually, pairing with @the_@"The Cen-Tex Smoker" question, is this being smoked, or dried in the warming oven?

I had rented a gas-powered pressure washer and it was able to remove paint from concrete.  My idiot neighbor painted something, then cleaned all his equipment on the corner of his property, washing down MY gutter, across the driveway, and I didn't see it until I had pulled into my carport, leaving a dotted paint line up my driveway.  I was furious, and I think he picked up on it as I slowly blasted it off.  He hasn't done it again.  
 
If you have a smaller pressure washer, it might be cheaper/quicker to rent a big gas-powered model, fwiw.

This is awesome. Deserves more than a “like”. Strikes my interest because I’m reading the Saxon Tales right now

I am using a 2000 psi electric one at the present. I own a 3800 psi gas powered one but it hasn’t been cranked in years. When I finish blasting all of the concrete( I have two driveways, a small patio, and 85 feet of sidewalk) I will worry about the 🎨. I do need to do some touch up paint on the eaves and fascia so no use doing it twice.

As a coincidence, a water blaster is what we used  to remove traffic stripe when I worked.. Much, much bigger of course.

@Gulfcoastguy are you just using the wand or one of these? I have a lot of Crete to wash each year and this is a true time saver.

"Halmoui" is not in my Mac's dictionary.  What is it?  

Gulfcoastguy

Just the wand with the turbo nozzle. The neighbor across the street was using one of those flat attachments and I wasn’t impressed. I am retired speed isn’t a must. It just means less time seating on my azz. With my gym a risky venture at present I have to get exercise somehow. The neighbors might appreciate my sparking concrete or it might add something to their honey do list.

Busy weekend. Put the house on the market. Left the house to show and went to the lake. Drove my granddads truck and hit 100k miles with my best bud, cooler full of drinks, and some fishing gear. 

Drank too much. Went exploring. Took our pontoon rental up a creek. Got the deposit back!

Came home. Signed an offer. Took my wife to breakfast and had a killer New Orleans Eggs Benedict Trio. Fried chicken, shrimp and fried green tomatoes, and a rendition of pork burnt ends. 

Tomorrow feels promising. Cheers, y’all!

Got part of the way done with my deer stand. Over halfway done. It’s hot, I’m spent. 

Man can get some good sleep in a stand like that!
