To close the loop for the Monday reheat and delivery,

Off the BGE and with the clean bone (upper left) extraction, a pic

And the end game before the reheat and delivery :

Did not have as much citrus flavour (nod) as expected (especially since I did get the sour orange juice from the local Mexican grocery store).  Perhaps a heavy lime infusion will "juice" it up. 

Thanks for lookin'.

At least photoshop your head into it!

I did that one a few days ago and Die Hard 2 last night. Lethal Weapon is also a good Christmas action pic

Prime Rib is on the egg. Au jus is simmering on the stove and about to start the potatoes. I’ll be pulling the prime rib about 125.

125???? Are you sure?  That’s two and a half times too hot?   

Oh. You mean F.   You guys and your funny degrees.

About 31F here with 83% humidity.  Let the mutts out and noticed the heat pump coils are frozen.  Switched on the a/c for about 10 minutes to thaw the unit.  Hoping to get lucky troubleshooting the defrost system, upside is I'll have nice weather to work in.

Should be easy peazy , it’s just a board … kind of looks like an uneven frost pattern though

@lkapigian - Just a board containing passive analog components.  Does $300. seem a reasonable price for it (retail)?

Onboard diagnostics point to the "Integrated Compressor Control" relay on that board as being the problem.  I'd value your opinion about trying to source that relay versus swapping the board.  I'm cheap and competent at soldering, have no competency at HVAC diagnostics.

Note there is a test using one of the micro-switches to engage the defrost system.  Running that test does not engage defrost and returns the code pointing to the ICC relay.  Weird to me because that relay is necessary for heat and a/c functions, which work just fine.

If you can’t force defrost, likely the board 47-102684-14 around 60.00 online ( confirm pn) also check defrost thermostat, if it doesn’t think there is ice there, it won’t defrost

Using Amadeus Pro to import first cassette recordings from new TASCAM cassette deck, setting input levels to stay at a reasonable level. Noticing just how bad the turntable/tape deck combination was when I originally made this mix tape. But I think I can clean this up with enough time. It is a 60 minute tape and I am only recording the first 30 minutes. Will be fun to remember all the settings I changed on the computer when I want to put things back. Fun stuff and am enjoying just listening to the music from a long time ago.

Edit - Thanks autocorrect. Replaced manufacturer’s name with the name of a city in Arizona.

Bout to leave 90 minutes early for 4pm Christmas mass. Church is 3 minutes from
the house. Will be standing room only

@lkapigian - That is very useful info for me, I appreciate you taking the time to provide it.  My unit calls for a different suffix in the p/n, 47-102684-83.  About $70. for the board along with temp sensors for ambient and coil.

Watching Grinch. Just had 2 bbq sliders, half of an entire pecan pie, a blue bell cup of ice cream and a Diet Coke for dinner.

It seems that our diets are very similar.  I commend you sir.

By "half of an entire pecan pie" - you mean "2 slices" - right?  Because a large pecan pie should be sliced in 1/4s.

Just took some ribeye’s off the egg. Don’t know that I’ve ever done that when it’s 60* outside on Christmas Eve.

Just attempted to make a last minute run to Kroger, wife needed some Coke Zero. The soda aisle looked like COVID times all over. There was maybe 8 cases of regular and none of any flavor of Coke Zero.

Now tracking Santa with kitty. 

Dyal_SC

@Foghorn , yessir, only 2 slices indeed. 🤥

Up early, waiting on the kids’ reactions when they realize that Santa paid them a visit. Soaking it in. Beyond blessed with such awesome kiddos.
