Was over at my buddy's place, reverse seared some porterhouse steaks.


Got all fancy


And then not so much...


My most wonderful better half drove me home...

Got some butts out of the fridge

Rubbed them down

Meanwhile the XL is coming up to temp


And I am here on the forum while I drink some more and wait to put them on.

Living large up there....living large.

Would that the poison was only getting dished out weekly...but time to stop leaning in on the third rail here as I don't want to sabotage this thread.

CSPAN at 0130 is always exciting. No repeal, no replace. Meep-meep.

Can't wait for the inevitable tweetstorm later today.

The senior Senator from Arizona.  I didn't think he had it in him, but there you have it.

Yup he's an a$$.   Navy grad.  Go figure.    He's in serious need of adoration and love from the media so there you have it.

Playing with my new toy, a Nikon-mount Zhong Yi "Mitagon" 20mm f2 micro lens, shoots between 4 and 4.5x life-size.  

 
Needs a LOT of light, but allows me to photograph Abe's statue in the Lincoln Memorial, on the back of a penny:
 

 
It's built exceptionally well (made and designed in China), not much glass in it at all, a THREE-blade aperture.  Definitely a studio-only lens, very tricky to set up.

I think you're right about the media love, but in the end he stopped a process that was basically insane.  I think history will be pretty kind to him for that, but time will tell.

Pulled the drip pan and replaced with beans.

Depends on who's writing the history but you're probably correct.   What's insane is the POS system that got rammed thru seven years ago.  The Repubs deserve what they get when they had seven years to out a better plan out there, campaign on it, then $hit the bed when it's go time.  The Turtle (Mitch) needs to find a new job!

Be thankful for your warranty on your Big Green Egg. Not so much fun with the Big Steel Keg and no warranty. I have two out of three screws stripped on the hinge mechanism on the dome causing tons of play from front to back. No easy way to fix the stripped screws. I had to drill out rivets on the dome just to seperate the two lids. I picked up a new Rutland gasket to replace the old hardened one. I still need to figure out how to add new screws. What a chore for a couple stripped screws. I'll take a cracked ceramic piece any day!

I wonder if if you could fill holes with steel jbweld then drill and tap?  Or drill out more and use threaded inserts or helicoils?  How thick is region that strippe?

Teaching the nice elderly lady next door to me smoking tips. she saw a master built smoker for sale at a garage sale and loaded it up in her Honda Civic. She has a chicken breast going now. She's basically my adopted mother at this point. She let's me borrow all her late husband's power tools when needed.

The spirit is willing, unfortunately too "limpy" today.....

Just some bony ribs I had in the freezor long enough.  Went by the fish shop and grabbed a few shrimp for app's.

I'm still not sure I know quite what you are trying to rehab?  I have some mad respect for your skills, @WeberWho but that doesn't look anything like a smoker.

Trying to decide if I should buy a Stoker or a Digi-Q DX-2

@bgebrent I find it incomprehensible you got @piney to drink Miller lite. Tell sandy hello

Backsplash is over rated, right @theyolksonyou ?

At this point I think I would have left it painted the room color.  . . Like it was before the tile was ordered.

Back splashes are like forks in this forum.

@Hibby no. Regular steel version. 1st one lasted over 3 years. I'll gladly buy another in 3 more years. Good product.
