    We were supposed  to get Google fiber here in San Jose, but they decided not to do much with fiber anymore  and concentrate on high speed wireless. I was hanging on to my 6 Mbps DSL hoping they would do something, but I couldn't wait any longer. I switched to Comcast cable, and now get over 100 Mbps reliably. When at home, even the picture heavy posts load quickly. At work, not so much. I wish this site could automatically resize ginormous photos.
    XL BGE in San Jose, CA. Also a Pit Barrel Cooker, a Cal Flame P4 gasser, and lots of toys including the first ever Flame Boss 300 in the wild. And a new Flame Boss 500.

    As fast as lightning.
    In fact it was a little bit frightening.
    But they fought with expert timing 
    I drink to much. Thought it was Bohemian Rhapsody....Queen. Likely too old for you young whipperrappers.
    Carry on, humiliation is nothing new to me....
    The quotes were from a song that is one year older than Bohemian Rhapsody, kids these days...


    That was my very first album.  Brother bought it for me.  Wore that thing out.
    Love you bro!
  • @YukonRon definitely part of the BBN declared Bio major as of now. I’d imagine I’m one of the younger if not youngest member on this forum at 19, however, don’t let my green age fool you I’ve been doing cooks since I could lift a BGE dome. Lots of online research and experimenting has given me the knowledge I currently posses. I’ve been watching these threads for along time just never had thought to join, very glad I did. Astounded by the community here very helpful and compassionate. I’ve lived in Lexington for about a year now but was not far from there originally. Sending this as I sit in the tree stand back in ol’ Somerset. Go Cats! =)

    Bohemian Raphsody? Gonna have to see if that is on spotify.  Not much into hippie music, but you guys generally have decent taste in music.

    I was 13 when Bohemian Rhapsody was released, not necessarily such a youngster.

    Funny that Google is trying to go wireless while a North Texas wireless company is starting their first fiber service in my little town. The city, population 1300, is laying ftth fiber in ground and by poles for the entire city. Then a wireless company is providing Gigabit service. They were the only bidder for service. From what I've heard, options are supposed to be 50 Mb or 1 Gb service. I emailed asked for something around 100-150 Mb as an option. Streaming HD uses up a lot of bandwidth. Ma Bell was supposed to run fiber service but backed out. Said there was no money in it since there's no high density housing.
