@SGH - how does Armadillo compare to say... anus?  

It’s not even close my friend.

Do you grill it in the shell, or fully remove the meat first?

It’s seems like there is a new bbq sauce and rub distributer shaking things up @WeberWho I saw a whole display at tsc, and I can get dizzy at ace 

Yeah I wonder. My local Ace has carried it the last couple years and even Scheels now. I know you could order Blues Hog through Walmart in the past but I was surprised to see it sitting on the shelves. I stopped in for some BWW sauces as I needed 5-6 bottles for wings. I had to grab a couple Blues Hog as well. I couldn't resist.

Blues Hog all varieties along with several different rubs and Rockwood lump now on the shelves of Academy Sports & Outdoors, at least here.  FWIW-

Enjoying brisket ... it's not much to look at but tastes damn good.

I’m going to be a little honest here. I wouldn’t know. I wouldn’t eat one of those nasty bastards if I was starving to death 👍

@SGH - I agreed for one reason - risk of contracting Hansens disease not worth touching them.

It looks pretty darn good from where I’m sitting my friend 👍

Tried a 3M restore kit on the '06 Impala, came out pretty good. Oddly, at least to me, drivers side only has slight deterioration so didn't bother with that side...

Less UV radiation because that part of the front of the car faced more North than the other….spitballing here💨😗

I’ve learned you don’t need the kit if you have a paint buffer and some polishing compound.  Little wet n dry sandpaper if they’re really bad first.  They don’t look good long unless you spray them with a protectant film (I think 3M makes some, I have a tool box with all that stuff together).  A good car wax is better than nothing.

@nolaegghead - Ah, that UV exposure makes sense.  Driver side lamp gets maybe 20% of what the passenger lamp sees.  Car faces West but trees and structure shield driver side.

Kit was 500, 800, 1600(wet) grit sanding discs, then polishing compound.  Needed all of them to remove the factory coating that was cracked/hazed.  Thanks for heads up about getting a protective film back on them.  I'll be looking into that.

Holy ****!  You could become a 90s boy band if you touch one!  That is almost as bad as red meat allergy from ticks.

I've learned you can drive your cars to New Orleans, eat crawfish, and watch @nolaegghead fix it for you!

Tires on my truck that I park outside facing South, dry rot on passenger side much faster than driver side.

Driving to work this morning and I heard Lou Reed’s Walk on the Wild Side. Kinda wondering how it hasn’t been cancelled from the radio.

I heard Lola got canceled.  It's only a matter of time.

Working at a co-work place in Wake Forest.  It’s called the Loading Dock.  I think it should maybe be called the “Loafing Dock” judging by the number of people here who don’t seem to be doing anything other than shooting the breeze.  I could’ve saved the cash and just worked out of a coffee shop all day.

They're disrupting, John.  Don't disrupt their disrupting.

That’s what you get for going to a woke forest.

Blame the oaks, they ignored their pleas!

Is the "Loading Dock" like the "Bunny Ranch", but for engineers?

Just out for lunch with my daughter. She got a gold at a piano competition this morning. Proud of her for competing; the mark was a bonus.

Charging my truck battery.  It died a month or so ago in the cold, and when I tried to pop the hood, the in-cabin release went the full travel, but no unlatching.  Futzed with it quite a bit, finally set a time w/mechanic and called a tow truck.  The driver said, "My wife's Tacoma does this too; let me try?"  He got it open in about 4 minutes, but only after I yelled at him that the grill isn't attached to the hood; glad he didn't break it.  
Tipped the driver, got $40 off my tow fee, canx the mechanic appointment, slapped on the charger and it showed a little bit of charge still in the battery. It's just about fully recharged now, and I'm pretty sure its the original, Toyota battery!  Bought the Taco very slightly used (1,700 miles) in '08; 15 years on the battery, not bad.  
If it holds the charge overnight/starts, I'll go ahead and have my mechanic readjust the cable anyway on Friday (getting the jaw drilled/tapped for a new tooth tomorrow morning, whee).  Will also have him check the battery, it may be prudent to replace now anyway.

Tooth implant $$$ but better than dentures.

Implants are just dentures done one at a time and with screws instead of glue.
