@eoin Always loved the Elise, wanted one, out of my price range.  Sub 1000 Kg cars appeal to me.  As does mid-engine.   I've had 30+ cars and trucks, but have never been happier than I am with my Cayman S.  Not super fast accelerating, but respectable and more importantly, pure fun commuting. 

Everything else feels clumsy and ponderous after driving a 900kg car with no PAS. 

Do they sell the Elise in the USA? It's an amazing car, seems expensive for what it is, but hand built and light. Mine was 2 years old when I bought is for £18k in 2010 with 18k miles when the market was slow. Sold 4 years later for £11k with 56k miles. Home serviced as well, so cheap overall.

Son in law says his was the best car he owned. But he is one inch tall. Since then he has had a Golf R32, AM V8, a Saxo ( yes really  in that order ),  Evoque and now RR Sport.  Boys and toys.  Oh and for the wedding it was a yellow 488 - now that was a car!  I only did about 20 miles - but wow!

Smoked some turkey, practice run for the big day. Butter and herbs on the breast, maple garlic rub on one leg, cranberry herb rub on the other. 

Overcooked the legs but passable.

I'm 6'4" tall.  The hard bit is getting in and out, but that is just practice.  Adjust the pedals fully back, wear very narrow shoes and remove the joke sun visors and it's OK.  Wearing a helmet for track days is roof off only, no clearance with the roof on.

AM Vantage.  There's a car worth owning.

made a 30 hour simmered broth/gravy for some roast and mash, no pics of the plate but now i know why canned beef broth sucks brought the weber in doors for the winter. not sure i need shots for using my rusted WWI Calvary canteen bone saw

fishlessman

the blackstone 17 in the weber photo had liftoff in the winds this weekend hitting the big window glass, what a mess, broke the regulator piping as well. been sitting on that old freezer for well over a year without incident. broken glass everywhere

Just got home from a FL Keys fishing trip with my son.  Day 1, 30in snapper and 26in grouper plus a bunch of smaller one.  Should have had a lot more of the snappers but they kept getting stolen by sharks.  We'd be reeling in a nice fish/nice fight and BAM! we could feel the shark hit and a few seconds later the line would be cut.  Day 2 Shark Week! five big sharks biggest were a 5 ft lemon and 5 1/2 ft black tip (pictured).   You can see me bracing to not get pulled overboard.  

And yes we had stone crabs.  Could only afford half a pound for $20 which was four large claws.

Thinking of starting a turkey thread.  Or possibly a lump thread.

Just picked up my new duty gun, Wanda. Had to tell SWMBO that guns have a 5 year shelf life. Not sure if she bought it or was just impressed at the audacity of the statement.

Chasing birds this morning

I rarely take a selfie, but I rarely transport livestock in my jeep.  3 of the 7 that I have will become Thanksgiving dinner.

Sea2Ski

The other 4 will be Christmas dinner?

Grading midterms.  It's not pretty for anyone involved.

Grades are a reflection of the teacher, not the student.

Lou: "I'm not here to play forum police, but... have you seen my latest uniform?"

I'm curious what @Ozzie_Isaac is paying for a mercenary for thread monitoring/protection services.

Forum popo are surprisingly inexpensive on retainer.  Only issue is when Nola gets rolling.  Those bills rack up fast.

EW eggnog French toast.
The Aldi brioche dinner rolls were perfect, and the tops fried up quite nice.  Fresh egg, whole milk, nog, nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar.

Just a drizzle of grade A, hog, and coffee to round things out.

I was surprised at how big they were.  17, 19, and 22.

I was shocked to see a 41 pounder there!  I talked to the owner of the bird.  It was free range for a year and a half.  It protected the farm. It attacked their boy.  Now Clyde will celebrate thanksgiving being passed around the table.

Gearing up for the College B'ball kick-off double-header.  Gonna be some great opening entertainment played but some projected and talented teams.

Go Cats!  Tough match up for our freshman for sure.

They don't look nearly as happy as you do

Best cheeseburgers to date. Wife said they were too salty. No more burgers for her!

@Jeremiah - Glad to see that beer looking wine in the pic.  Be careful about what you withhold-the return serve would likely win every time.

Watching a ridiculously talented Duke team take Michigan State to the woodshed for a beating.
