Watching football, drinking a basic a$$ white girl drink. Carmel pumpkin brûlée cold brew. Delicious.

Put on a pair of Ugg shearling slippers and tell me they aren’t the most comfy thing you’ve ever put on your feet

Have never tried, but my wife wears Ugg boots barefoot throughout our harsh winters and she seems quite satisfied.

Watching the ND/OSU game. I’m finding I don’t hate ND for no reason. Is it because Brian Kelly is gone?

Maybe you watched the Manti Te’o documentary on Netflix?

I did. It was really well done. I think I walked away with more questions.

I agree.  There was a lot there I didn’t know about at the time the story broke.  I thought both of them came across fairly sympathetic.  I noticed today that Manti is a free agent.

Feeling pretty good about my nearly 8lbs of chicken wings for 15 bucks

I pulled one of those out of the freezer today.

Just watched the Jurassic Park movie in a theater. It's been out a while and my 13yo wanted to go. I thought there was no way I would enjoy it. It ended up being pretty good. Tons of tie-ins to the original. Plenty of nostalgic value for myself.

Can’t say I’m the least bit disappointed.

What temp did you sv?

Any cook that satisfies the consumer is a great cook.  Bonus points for high praise from them and forum $$ shots!

I went 165 from frozen for all 40 hours. You can go as high as 180, which reportedly results in fall apart brisket. This was plenty fall apart for me.

Harvested end of season bitter melon leaves, swmbo will make some chicken dish with it.

Poor outing for LSU hopefuls thinking a running QB and Kelly would be their saving grace. What a dismal outcome from the special teams units for LSU, 2 muffed punt returns and 2 blocked kicks.

@GrateEggspectations would you do it again?  how was it seasoned in the SV bag?  was it dry/juicy?

@WeberWho Great diagnostics and write up. Thanks for that video on MB switch preventative maintenance, I learned about dielectric grease.Apparently it’s great for spark plug and igniter tips, you can apply that while you're at it. And speaking of gas ignition problem I’m having fun with a Weber NG ignition challenge, will report back another time.

First time messing with gasser problem. Helping someone with a natural gas Weber, it’s couple of years old, still under warranty, but ignition has been wonky since day one.

Igniters spark well but burner tubes would not light, they work fine with butane lighter. Scrubbing burner tube holes with wire brush and blowing with compressed air didn’t help. 

Called Weber warranty tech support and they started throwing parts at the problem one after another. New igniter kit, nope. New burner tubes, nope. New manifold … now we’re getting somewhere…when I removed the front control panel to disconnect the old manifold it dawned on me that something didn’t look right - the gas hose was tightly looped 180 degrees at the connection point with the manifold. I made sure it was fully uncoiled when I reassembled it. Voila!

Safe bet that the coiled gas hose was the culprit all along, the bbq was probably put together by some rookie at the big box. Can’t complain about the spare igniters, burner tubes and manifold though, also learned something new.

I just got back from the MN Rollag Threshing Show. What an experience. One of the coolest things I've done. A big thanks to forum member RGH for the invite. 

Here was the centerpiece of the show:




The first 1909 Rumley Oil Pull prototype named Kerosene Annie . It was the first time in 113 years that it has seen any type of field work. Here's a quick video about it for anyone interested:

Some other pictures I grabbed this weekend:



Sorry for the pic dump but I figure a few of you might enjoy and get a kick out of them.

The 150 Case was the main show attraction last year. Hard to even wrap your head around something that big and powerful back in the day. Very cool.

Going through boxes of stuff  that we accumulated at the office and brought home with the transition to permanent telework.  Much harder on SWMBO than me; she has 6 more years at the agency than I do, and I changed centers about 3 years ago, and so had left 98% of my hard copy records behind.

When I first bought this AAA Costco brisket, I trimmed it and portioned out into 4lb chunks. Seasoned each piece with 50/50 kosher salt and coarse black pepper and then vac sealed and froze the pieces. This particular piece was the thinnest part of the flat. All I had to do to start dinner was full my cooler with water, toss the frozen meat in and set the Anova. After the 40 hrs at 165, I submerged the meat in an ice bath, then patted it off with a paper towel, seasoned with S&P once again and then ran it on the Egg at 300 with some hickory chips for about two and a half hours. Almost no rest for the meat, as the guests were hungry. 

I have only done a handful of brisket cooks in my life, but I found this to be a much better result than those I have smoked on the Egg, barring maybe one wagyu brisket I did years and years back. My family and guests were very happy with the results last night. I will definitely cook it SV again. Have two whole briskets sitting in the freezer and may have to defrost them and portion them out as I had done with this one. It’s just so simple and foolproof with such an exceptional result. For me, 165 was a pretty nice IT. Exceptionally tender without being at all mushy.
