    Game ON Brothaman!

    French's has prime dry aged that goes on sale sometimes for low 20s a pound.  They are just good guys, no nonsense.  I agree, Costco cant be beat on prime pricing and incredible selection.

    A few yrs ago i bought a prime prime rib 7 bone roast from Frenchs.   They took me to the cooler, let me select the one i wanted, cut the bones off in one slab and then tied them back on.  It was expensive but worth every penny.   Christmas amd it was ny first prime rib on the Big Green Egg.    huge hit with family and qe were able to go to sister house Christmas morning so kids could open presents and the bge was unattended with temp set on prime rib roast.   Perfection.   They also will grind up a brisket and chuck roll for me in summer as its too hot for me to fire up the LEM.  They give me the blend i want and parcel it out in the increments i specify as well.

    I have a prime tri tip in the fridge and my wife bought me cinnamon bears - one of my favorites. I wanted to do tri tip because entire family can get down on it. My 5 yr old daughter loves med rare tri tip.. 3 or 4 helpings loves. My son and other daughter enjoy it, but not quite as much.

    Plan on working on boats on Father's day.  Will slap together a quick shrimp, chicken and beef fajita dinner for our GoT dinner party (Every Sunday).  SWMBO is working, so I'll have to cut out of the warehouse/shop early to cook it all.  I have a guy cleaning the hull on my big boat again tomorrow.  Trying to make it look good to sell.  Costs a fortune to take that boat out and I've rarely used it since I got the 18' bay boat.

    I picked up a prime wet aged T bone this AM from French's Meat Shoppe in Scottsdale (dont be fooled by the name...these guys are legit and are good midwestern rooted people) 

    Thanks @westernbbq for the local recommendation.

    Very nice. I've got a pretty good sized crew coming over. I'm running St Louis cut spares, beef plate short ribs, smoked mac & cheese, collards and a smoked banana pudding. 

    @Big_Green_Craig Would you mind posting the recipe for this? - sounds right up my alley.

    @blasting.   Are u in AZ?


    As to when i hear complaints about the heat i always say, well if it was like March year round here we would be as crowded as SoCal..no thanks


    Get access to a pool, have good a/c at home, in car and at work and drink tons of cold water amd youre good here.

    @blasting haha. Actually during the heat of the day I decided to take apart the xl and replace the gaskets. Then hung a butcher paper roll holder on the garage wall. Other than being about 20lbs lighter from the dry sweat, it wasn't too bad

    Yes @westernbbq , I'm in AZ.   Pefect weather for 8 months, and hell on earth for the other four.  

    @CheeseheadinAZ I do a lot of projects inside that would normally be reserved for outside.  Hope to finish the soldering for my electrolysis tank today - in my living room.  Your gasket project would have been done inside if it were me.  It helps that I don't have a wife asking me why I'm changing the oil in my compressor in the family room...

    I envy you @blasting!     

    To me the worst month here is august as thats when we are 110 and monsoon humidity comes in. Today i already jumped in the pool, got out, a breeze kicked up and i was chilly!  Wimp!  But i know the hashness of winter in midwest, i sneak up to mogollon rim 3x a summer where the temp is 40 degrees lower than phx and at nite it gets in the 40s.  Not bad for a 1.5 hr drive NE of phx.    


    I will say this about living here vs midwest vs spending time in CA.   

    If you want snow, drive 2 hrs north of here.  If you want beach, drive 3.5 hrs to rocky point, 5 hrs to san diego or 5.5 hrs to OC.   if you want cool pines, drive either 4 hrs to sunrise or 1.5 hr to the rim or two to flag.   And the best thing about the snow in northern az, is that you can leave it there and come home to easy maintenance of your yard


    If you want mosquitoes, go to WI where its the state bird.  There are a few in az but when its 110 and drrryyyyy outside, they turn into little puffs of smoke.  i also have not changed a rusty muffler on a car since 1985!

    The only thing i miss from WI is the last week of oct and first two weeks of nov.  True fall football weather. But, last october i was in rocky point eating shrimp tacos watching college football and having cold beers.  So it was ok.

    I'll have to check one of those out. I'm guessing the local h depot has them.

    AZ indoor comfort up on 19th ave and peoria.   Get a used one on craigslist and rebuild it.   My brother in law has a horse ranch in scottsdale and he gave me an old one that stopped working.  Well, about $23 worth of parts and we were in business.

    We lived in Mesa for 8 years and I got one for my patio halfway through the first summer. Mine had a reservoir at the bottom that you could fill manually or it had an auto float valve that you could hook the hose up to and it kept the reservoir full all the time. It was about 3 feet square on wheels with multiple fan speeds. It was like having AC on the patio. Cost about 250 bucks at Home Depot. Well worth it. Highly recommend.
