Edit: got to love amazoid, arriving tomorrow.
i hate those things, put an automatic torch PIE a manual plasma cutter lately and they put one inside each power pack coil, hidden and not removable. limits me to 6 minutes every 10.canuckland -

its some time of thermal cutoff for heat inside the coil pack, limits the duty cycle to 60 percent. they could have put a bigger fan and a heat sink in there but no....the newer ones dont do this but im not sure how long the currant job will last. just need to get thru this one and see

Earlier this AM. Enjoying the RDH at Valentina's new operation in Buda. Always a true breakfast banquet.

@lousubcap how is the new location? Food seem to be on par? Curious how business is holding up. I heard they suffered some setbacks from the support community due to how they dispersed(or not) tips. Sounds like they changed their rules after some backlash but I know sometimes it can take time to win back the crowd.Snellville, GA

@Eggdicted_Dawgfan - The food was as good as I recall although I had been alerted to potential issues with timely order delivery at the new place. Opens at 8 AM and I rolled in around 8:30 AM to be only the third customer in the place. No order issues at all. Before I left the line had grown to around 15 but was fast moving order-wise and the same with delivery.
Nice place with plenty of tables (more than the food truck location) and a bar as well.
I will go back one more time this trip.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

I really wish this country would just eliminate the whole tipping culture thing.

@HeavyG I agree. Seems like an odd way to motivate the staff.Snellville, GA

I never had a problem tipping for full restaurant service, If it was good 25-30% I never tipped for counter service or pick up orders but then the pandemic came. Restaurants were suffering and people like myself wanted to help, so started tipping for things like take out I hadn’t before to try to help them out. I mean who wants to see some good local eats go away due to COVID. It was only going to be few weeks to flatten the curve they said…. Problem is since then it’s expected everywhere anymore. Order at the counter and fill your own drinks, clear the table yourself and still get the touch screen flipped around for a tip. The company that sprays my lawn sends a link for payment and software ask for a tip, nope.Jacksonville FL

Edit: Don’t get me started on the prescribed tipping percentages programmed into point of sale terminals, which often begin at 20%. An absolute joke. And if you have to tip before you’ve even received service, just how are you supposed to determine an appropriate tip? Not the staff’s fault, but it’s just become perverse. -
Mrs.C has a carry in tomorrow and she volunteered, me, to make a side and dessert. Baked the Cobblers tonight.
Prepped the macaroni and the egg as well. Now to just get up at 4:30am, light the egg and smoke the mac
And help her load the car.

While I agree with your thought about lighting the egg in the wee hours, I've found that if you light the egg before you go to bed and just open the vents a couple of millimeters, when you wake up - LATER THAN YOU WOULD IF YOU HAD TO LIGHT THE EGG IN THE MORNING - you still get that great "I'm out here with the egg in the crisp, dark morning feeling", and a little more sleep... and you feel less rushed because the temp is settled, the VOCs are long gone, and you can just dial it in and go.

100% agree that that’s the ideal scenario. Love the strategy.
But for me, I won’t run the Egg unattended. Two of my three sit on a wooden deck, and even the one on concrete is in close proximity to combustible materials. The only time I’ve done an overnight like that is once, when I had the MiniMax on grass in the middle of my backyard. While I recognize the risk is minimal, I could never forgive myself if there was an incident. -

Congratulations @Gulfcoastguy. That's exciting news.

The leave for absence for international duty is over. England won three and lost one, spread across three sports. Yes lads - don’t overlook the fun to be had at the Cricket World Cup (that India or New Zealand will win), while the Rugby World Cup (that New Zealand will win) is in touching distance of it’s biggest weekend with both semi-finals hurtling down the tracks.
Back to basics then;
Saturday
Liverpool v Everton, the Merseyside derby and so the normal rules don’t apply, except they will 2-0
Bournemouth v Wolves, The Old Gold have awoken while the Cherries really are not looking great. Perhaps a point on offer here for the hosts, and they really need it. 1-1
Brentford v Burnley, neither in good shape. The hosts have failed to weather the absence of their key striker this season, while their guests have failed to make an impression. Too early to be labelled a desperate encounter, but that is what it is because defat for either will be distinctly sub-opitmal if they are to establish their PL presence. 1-0
Man City v Brighton, of course it’s the filthy fetid Seagulls next up for slumpsville City - off the back of two defeats. Let’s all hope Pep and the lads roar back. 3-1
Newcastle v Palace, meh - it’s just an inconvenient trip to the North East for us. The Toon have hit their straps and we just don’t have the artillery. Keeping it to 2-0 is success.
Forest v Luton, it’s been a regression to the mean for the Hatters recently, back to grinding out the defeats. A home win makes things feel more rosey for the Forest, but there are many more meaningful matches to come for them. 2-0
Chelsea v Arsenal, Ted’s Blues have shown signs of life but this is too soon to genuinely overcome this well honed Gunners outfit. A good game but not, in the end, a close game. 0-2
Sheff Utd, Man Utd, The blades are welded to the foot of the table for good reason - even circus clown car club Utd can see this home with little anxiety. 0-2
Sunday
Aston Villa v West Ham, possibly the game of the weekend - strong opening weeks to the season for both teams, who could each have been bothering the top 4 but for their defats last time out. There will be goals, but only the odd one between them in the end. 3-2
Monday
Spurs v Fulham, super soaraway Spurs surge to the summit! What can possibly go wrong? Usually plenty but perhaps this Spurs is a new Spurs? No Harry, no problems it seems. 2-0, maybe bigger.
There you go. We’ve got lots and lots of rain forecast this weekend but two world cups, the PL and F1 in it’s new spiritual home of oooo-esssss-ay let’s just stay in and work that butt groove on the sofa.
Other girls may try to take me away
But you know, it's by your side I will stay -
Wondering how long the New Orleans Saints will keep Dennis Allen employed.

Congrats to the new addition @Gulfcoastguy ! Home with my youngins today. Typical fever and stomach crud got them a day off from school. Enjoying the warm coziness of them laying on top of me though. Will never get old, and they’ll always be my baby boys no matter how big they get. 💙 💙 Popsicles, dad’s “sick soup” and Blippi marathon to start the weekend.

@ColbyLang , I’ll admit it’s pretty funny sometimes. But that dang excavator song is horrible. Gets stuck in my head.
