Fixed our screeching clothes dryer. I am not a handy guy, but with the help of YouTube, I have discovered I can fix just about anything.

Tri Tip Cookoff, 

Nice and cool

That tri-tip has a lot of room to roam in that rig. 

Good luck!

I would take that result any time.  Full marks for giving it a go!

Tri tips are not easy. I tend to go hot on them, with a thermopen checking internal temp. One of the keys to try tip is cooking it to correct temp, renting it, but maybe re importantly, knowing the direction of the grain of the cut, so you always cut it across the grain. The grain direction changes on that cut half way across.

Shout out to Beulah.

Your cooks are always clutch, Larry. So much so, that I often take them for a given and don’t hit “like” for each and every one that deserves it. There are too many to keep tabs on. 

Mad respect for today’s post. We don’t win every day, and I’m relieved to see we have at least that in common.

Thanks all for the kind words, much appreciated! Next week , something completely different!

I have no idea how you guys stay up to watch sports in those time zones. PDT is where it’s at for live sports viewing.

I actually think MDT (MST) is the time zone winner.

The only time I agree with that are the weeknight games that start at 8 EST. 5 PM is a little early for people to catch the start.

Rust just starting. I just sold my 2015 Yukon XL. Rust all over the place 130,000 miles.

Cooking a rack of beef ribs.  Been awhile since last doing the "dollar bill" dome seal test, so I did it and all good.

Noticed my top band, at the front, was lower than where it used to be.  The dome alignment mark is slightly visible above the upper band top edge.  Unsure how long its been that way.

Egg is performing as desired, expected temps at vent openings normally used.  Plus I know the dome seal is tested good.  Should just forget the whole thing until there is a change in the dollar test.  Going to have the fight the urge to move that band back up where it once resided.  Don't fix what ain't broke and all that, but it's going to bug me.

@dbCooper - As you noted, don't fix what ain't broken.  Your indicators are the dollar bill and vent settings.  If those haven't changed then the BGE is just settling into advanced age, while delivering the goods.

@kl8ton - way to keep up with the preventive maintenance.  That effort always yields return on investment.

Anyone remember when Subway had their $5 foot longs? My Dad picked up four subs this afternoon. Grand total....$70. I personally stopped going when they put a tip option on their payment screen. Absolutely insane!

Subway has gotten out of hand.  We used get $5 footlongs and then one day a week they had 3 footlongs for $10 in a little town I used to live in.

Fortunately we have much better competition to Subway around my town, admittedly more expensive.
