Funerals overall suck, police funerals suck even more. Today was my first to experience one. Hopefully I don’t have to again. 

I cannot completely appreciate but have been down a similar road with a fallen fire fighter (only a volunteer here).  It is quite an emotional challenge to wrestle with.  I'm sure that is especially difficult given you are in the direct line of duty.  
You will never get over it but as you know the challenge is to achieve greater things in his/her honor as you serve the community.

@Battleborn I am sorry for the family of the fallen officer, both in his personal and professional life.

Wow, you go for max sear at the beginning!  
I've had pork TL's cooked like that, that were perfection, but have not seen it on a beef briskie before.  

Oh no, I start off with a cold smoker and like to run about 225 and where I can clearly see blue smoke coming out of my stack i until about 5 hours in when I start running up temps.

I think that’s just a split of wood in the firebox @Botch

Oh yeah; pretty sharp 60˚corners on that thing, d'Oh....

Every once in a while Dusty gets that toothpick stuck vertically in his mouth. Watch for it.

Pena dang near dropped it.  That could have been the mistake everyone remembered from the series.

I’ll bet he got an earful.  That was just lazy.

Yeah buddy!!  That was a great game.

Good call on the lean in.

Definitely, Aleydmiez didn't help his cause by leaning in on the prior pitch. Not a great showing by an ex-cardinal.  He is much better than that.

I bet you’ll enjoy it once you’re there. We took our girls six years ago when they were 10 and 7 and everyone had a blast.

Having done a six day Disney deal when our two sons were 10 and 14 yo I can still say, "Happiness is Disney World in the rear-view mirror!"

Housecleaning.  It is homecoming tonight and SWMBO Jr’s 2 best friends are coming over for dinner and to get ready together.  Lord help me when people are coming over and SWMBO needs to have a showroom house.

Enjoy!  We did Disney for many years in a row when the kids were younger.  If you haven't done it before, my advice is to relax and enjoy it.  It isn't a race and you don't get a medal for seeing it all

Lifelong Giants fan. I loved Dusty, old school  baseball man, trusts his gut, trusts his players, keeps a good clubhouse.  A lot of similarities between him and Bochy, the differences being Bochy isn’t inclined to overthink and Dusty just isn’t a closer.  Saw it in SF, in Washington and now in Houston.  That WS loss to the Angels is camped out in his head, probably forever.

I grew up in California going to OG Disney.  As an adult, never took the kids to DW, always DL.  It was a combination of old school stubborn and history/nostalgia and I found DW to be a little intimidating (not to mention the cost difference when I was on the west coast).  Maybe I’ll get there someday.

Put in a new front door today with the help of my brother-in-law. 

Currently sitting by the fire drinking some Treehouse Autumn IPA.

It's Oct 29, 8:10 pm.  THREE of the cities around me are having "fireworks finales" going on right now.  I'm familiar with the mormon holidays, this isn't one of them.  What's going on?
Did traitortrump die?
Did Biden?
Did putin?
 
I'll click on the news once college FB is done, but what's going on??

1-1. On to Phily.

Some pics of a 12” floating spring floor 35’x35’ we are installing that will eventually be raised 2” after we build a chamber on top of it. Always amazing how well the Latinos work together. 

A bit out of order but you get the idea.

@Eggdicted_Dawgfan - I'm guessing another dead quiet room.  

Eggdicted_Dawgfan

@lousubcap to our ears it will definitely be dead quiet. Using instruments to measure, we need to hit around 4db inside or lower. Time will tell. A lot of work between now and test day.

That looks like an immense undertaking.  What will it ultimately be used for?

So not thinking earlier I grabbed a frozen turkey breast from Kroger to cook for dinner. I did not thaw it, seasoned it and threw it on the egg and it's been cooking since about 1pm. internal temp is about 120 now. Am I risking salmonella or something if we eat this? I know there is a window of time to get it out of the danger zone of 40-140 degrees. Dunno what I was thinking earlier and should have just tried to thaw it.

Edit: follow up, so the IT reached 165 in about 4hrs. So I'm thinking everything should be safe. Thoughts?

@Ozzie_Isaac it will eventually be a hemi-anechoic test chamber. 35x35x18. The whole structure will weigh about 290k lbs and will be floating 2” on about 130 springs. This one will be used by Techtronics. Their ultimate goal is to reduce the noise pollution of the Ryobi zero turn mowers. But this will see many other Ryobi R&D projects in the future. I’ll share some more pics as we progress with the build.
