@NPHuskerFL Blake, did you see the pics of that chiller that was dropped in NYC? 

I did, and ironically just last week they hoisted a similar chiller onto the building right next to mine on the Base, only two stories up and I did walk around it (it wasn't roped off).  

Not blocking off the area is a cardinal sin in the HVAC biz

Seriously?!? Got home after a very long day. Took a much needed shower. Ate supper. Went outside to let Lili Ann out and to have a cold one. And suddenly I hear a hideous hissing from one of our Heat Pumps/ACs ....huge refrigerant leak. Glad I can fix this relatively quick. In my PJs no less.

@NPHuskerFL nice to have that skill set when you need it Blake. I'd be trying to sleep in the heat for the night. Took three days to get service when I had algae build up in the condensate drain. Wound up pulling the drain pipe and unstopping, but let them come out and clean.

Just stacked a quarter cord of white oak out back and pressure washed the driveway. Laying on the couch watching American ninja warrior now.

@theyolksonyou Jason I wasn't happy whatsoever. This is our only unit now that has R-22 (very expensive even at my cost). Just finished repairing, putting on a deep vacuum and now charging to subcool spec and rechecking superheat. Already down to 71℉. I work out in the heat so sleeping in it isn't an option. I'd stay up all night repairing or replacing just so my family didn't have to be hot.  And have done exactly that in the past.

pork tenderloin sliced with baked beans and cheese with ranch on top of a hot dog bun. Yeah it's use up leftovers night.

Just ordered a pelican 65. I totally blame @nolaegghead for pimping a few months back and @NPHuskerFL for posting in this thread. 

Don't tell the wife it's coming. 

Brown Santa dropped by. (Not the yellsville version)

Nice Jason!  Never drooled over a cooler till now.

I'm celebrating a bit.
I retired from the Reserves 3 years ago, and recently remembered I haven't had a physical since then.  Saw the doc today, and my high blood pressure has dropped to a good 120/80!  No changes in diet, a slight reduction in job stress, don't know what else could've caused it.  
Good news is a good thing.

Seeing if I can reply/post messages today

Costco.com delivered for 279. (Don't tell the wife, she doesn't want to know.)

Ain't no thang but a chicken wang. Got wings on.

Oh yeah tile is done to the point I can go pick up the new kitchen cabinets any time. I want to get the new cabinets and make sure everything is there before I rip out the old kitchen. Old kitchen is back to the right of this pic.

@lit , I really like that tile.

Thanks. Feels good to know I don't have to do any more tile for a couple weeks.

Phillies just ties it up! Were down 4-0 going into bottom 9th, wow, let's hope they can finish it.

Glad to be home in my chair after a long day trip to Charlotte

@theyolksonyou just curious why you chose that cooler? Similar to a yeti? I don't know much about either honestly. 

tisoypops

Drooling over everyone else's cooks...

theyolksonyou

@tisoypops it is similar to Yeti. Made by the same people who make equipment cases for the military. It is about $100 cheaper than the same size Yeti. 

Honestly, I bought it based on recommendations here in a cooler thread. I blame @nolaegghead , @NPHuskerFL , and whiskey.

Pelican looks to have a lifetime warranty on the basic case.  I've used their warranty for a clasp on a non-cooler case.  When a clasp broke, I called to get a new one ... very friendly response from the gal ... she sent two new clasps and new pins.

Yeti looks to have a five year warranty on the basic case.  Have never owned a Yeti product, but they would be my second choice after a Pelican.

Smoking some short ribs.  Is the Stoker overkill on the Mini Max?   

NPHuskerFL

@mgd_egg No more than on any other egg imho. The draft motor...what size is it?...5cfm same size as the SBGE?  

mgd_egg

@NPHuskerFL I bought the LBGE kit with the 5cfm fan.  I MacGyver'd my own little flange to allow the MM draft door to slide over.  Other side is friction fit.

NPHuskerFL

@mgd_egg that works. Was thinking of getting the additional blower, adaptor, pit & food probe just in case I have 2 L&S going at the same time. Which is unlikely so....
