Nice! Just like down here in the VI. Drive on the left - diff is US standard set up with driver/controls on the left inside.

Nice set up!!! No need for a tag line. Did you take that load down hill?

We’ve all made it to the weekend,  which was not an absolute guarantee for us in Europe recently.  So our minds wander to the beautiful game and it’s time opine upon the fortunes of those illustrious bladder chasers 

But what is this?  Another PL interdiction for reasons global?  Sadly it is so, dear reader.  A hiatus this weekend permits a set of World Cup qualifiers and cash cows, known as international friendlies.

I could offer incisive analysis of Accrington Stanley v Gillingham, but shall leave you to do this alone. And for clarity; the former is not a 50’s movie star and the latter is pronounced with a soft G because it’s the Gillingham in Kent, not Gillingham in Dorset.  But you knew all of that already.  My apologies.  

There is always the 3rd Test in Grenada, that @Ozzie_Isaac is glued to right now.  And I am pretty sure some of you know where Grenada is.  Clint Eastwood certainly does.

its going about a quarter mile down the road for final machining.  it needs to tilt up to clear the hill on the driveway when it backs out. needs to be low for the road, need to keep the back wheels on the ground

I saw these sauces at the grocery store yesterday. I don't think I've ever seen them outside a specialty type store.

One of my jobs in college was repairing, refinishing, and spiffing up capital equipment in a machine shop.  You did a nice job on that lathe. Depending on the pitting from the rust you can use a steel epoxy on it, then stone it flat.

I knew it.  @fishlessman and @nolaegghead are the same person.

Staffing a second shift. Need 15 people. Not as easy as it sounds. One of my current customers doubled their current commitment, thus the need for 40 more production hours. Life about to get hectic

I would sometimes "Quote it like I don't want it" and then get the work anyway in a tool and die shop.  

I run a campground in the summer.  It can be hard to entice people to work every weekend in the summer.  It will be fun I say. You can save for college I say. You will get free ice cream. . .

I have had suppliers give me the go away price, I have said yes, then they still tell me to go away.

Smoking my bourbon.

Oh, nice!  How do you like it?

It was pretty cool and worked better than expected.  I didn't trust the instructions and smoked it for about 3x as long as I should have.  It was a bit strong for my taste, but will be easy remedy next time.  Presentation is 10/10.

Where did you order it from?

A friend got it for me as a gift.  It is called a "Busy Bee Cocktail Smoker".

I almost pulled the trigger on another brand that I am being spammed with on Facebook but your looks nicer and wider.  I am currently burning wood flakes/dust on a board when I want a “smoked” cocktail.  It works well for my need but I like the idea of these cocktail smokers.  I am a sucker for gadgets 🤷‍♂️

Doing a little research on used cars. Oldest daughter finally saved up enough to get her own ride and we will go out and look at some tonight or tomorrow.

Can't stop watching youtube vids of the KBQ. I want one.

@kl8ton I used to call that the **** price. I’d do it and do the same job I would for anyone else but if your a ass your paying double.

alaskanassasin

@kl8ton is BB getting relocated to your campground?

I am thinking about raising some hogs. Charcuterie is a slippery slope

Luckily her type isn’t the kind that can get her pregnant, if you know what I mean.

Ordering food and stuff for my wife's bday party.  She specifically asked I do not cook for it 😓.  She wants me to be a host and less a cook during it.  Should have around 40 people and she is stressing out a bit ... She told me she knew I was dragging my feet on getting everything ordered so we wouldn't have a choice, and I would need to be the cook. She knows I prefer cooking; less mingling and more drinking 🤣

I'm still working on spinning that the right way. My earlier response(s) have included "But, then I'd have to talk to people". Didn't go over so well. Now, I try to say things like "I'll take care of feeding folks. So, you don't have to worry about it, and can catch up with your friends, as much as you like."

Oh man, that'd be awesome to even just come check it out. I read through your thread when you found it on craigslist. No joke on quality smokers being hard to find up here.

I'm like the Great Gatsby at parties, sans money and class.  I'm not particularly social other than I like to host and I'd rather be multi-tasking in the background - preferably cooking.
