Just threw a turkey in the large.  Why not.

Details? Live, dead, frozen, thawed?  Was BGE open when you threw it? Was BGE pre-heated? How far when you threw it? Over hand, under hand?

You two are getting weird. 

Can anyone verify that Ozzie and Nola are in fact two separate people?  Are there any pictures of them together? 

The last 3 years may have just been an elaborate set up for a big reveal this weekend.

You guys all need to switch your avatars back.

The pictures do not match the names or the posted comment (styles) and it is all messing with my head.  Life is needlessly confusing enough already....

Fixed It was totally messing with me too.

I will send my most sincere Thank you, as I truly am thankful.

After 10 years of marriage to my beautiful wife, when she wants her Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, she is getting her damn tree the day after thanksgiving. Now I am drinking some fancy AF drink chasing the cat out of said tree. 

You sir are a good husband!  I see many more years of bliss in your future.  I know you have it down by now but just a small reminder   "yes dear"  is a proper response  95 % of the time .

"Yes Dear" has gotten us this far, can't change now.

From one who cleared 10 years of bliss 25 years ago, I will tell you that the landscape definitely changes over time.  Nice gesture.  Hopefully the recall lasts for a while.  

You Sir are an inspiration, knowing you are a fellow sailor that got through 35 years together gives me something to continue to strive for. Now on to more brown water fueled fun of terrorizing the kitten. 

@Battleborn - for the record, only the first 16 of the 35 counted in the USN.  Matter of fact-the major landscape changes manifested themselves once I was no longer gone for months at a time.  Funny how that happens.  Onward and upward.  Enjoy the rocket fuel.

@WeberWho beautiful shed. Like you, when I was working on my wood shed, I thought it was going to be 2 weekends of work. It took 18 full days to complete. Never would have started it if I knew it was going to take that long, but in my honest estimation, I thought it would certainly not take more than 3 weekends.
Who cares the actual was 6x more than the high estimate.
Must be something about woodsheds...

Regardless, the shed looks great! Bravo!

I hear you @Sea2Ski! I think your mind just thinks, "easy" when building a shed. Something always ends up warped or not fitting right. I went to Menards 4 times one day. Their selection of green treated wood is crap. I had to visit two different Menards to find anything worth bringing home. Each time going through lumber was 30+ minutes as so much of it was warped, cracked, or had holes in it. I swear this happened 3x a week. Unfortunately they were better than anything Home Depot and Lowes carried. It's crazy what gets passed as acceptable. I told my wife multiple times that I should have just built the basic 2x4 wood storage rack and this was a complete waste of time. She even was nice enough to help me out for portions of the build. She pretty much tackled the shingles on her own. She wanted to impress my Dad and say she did the shingles. She enjoyed helping out and learning tools. I was ready to burn it down!!! It sounds like we are in the same boat Sea2Ski! Glad it's done and out of sight!

Breast cooked to 150F.  Delicious.

What do you mean “getting” ?

The Bromance has taken an odd twist. 

Stop projecting on me, man!  Did you get your spices?  Sent to Brent.

Thanks. Tell B I appreciate her putting out the APB to find it. I haven’t run into Brent yet.

Find a decent lumberyard. Selection and grade options are far superior to anything at the Big Box stores. Those stores generally don’t have the ability to write off the crappy lumber so it gets thrown back into the stack hoping that a sucker buys it. The treated lumber used on our recent deck rebuild was #1 Prime. Good stuff. 

You're absolutely correct DoubleEgger. I should have just went straight to a descent lumberyard. I spent more time picking through their crappy lumber than I did working on the shed. That was the most frustrating part was knowing I had 30-45 minutes of searching for straight boards every trip over there. I just figured I'd keep the price low on the build as it was only a wood shed. When you waste all that time searching and returning it's not worth any savings. The premium priced lumber looks like a bargain at the lumberyard. I will be hitting up the lumberyard whenever I get to replacing my deck if we don't go composite. After finishing up the shed it didn't give me any drive to go start ripping down my deck! I think I'll enjoy painting my house a little more next year!

Bring home dinner @nolaegghead?

That school took a lot of my money - my baby girl gradiated there.  Now she's teaching in Chattanooga.

WDE!
