    My thoughts were that the initial burn may cause some off smells or flavors.

    Assuming you cleaned out the debris from removing the old gasket, start cooking.

    Quick question.... After installing a Rutland, dome only and a few days ago, is there any need to do an initial burn off? Or just light it up and get to cooking? I have a brisket that needs some smoke, just wondering if I need to do an initial empty burn 1st.
    Don’t think so - at least I didn’t. 

    The guy to answer your question is our friend @RRP.

    I bought the Rutland from @RRP several years back and just now getting around to installing.

    I would think that whatever warm up You have prior to putting in a brisket would be enough.

    If you used Permatex, there is no need to "set" the adhesive before high heat (although you will not be doing high heat anyway).  The solvent is acetic acid (vinegar) so no issue there.

    Been up for an hour and a half and am waiting for the sun to come up so I can get going outside. I have a lot to do   I am as ready as I can be to get going, but one can not speed up the rising of the sun.  At least I do not know of a way.....

    I’m actually in the exact same boat. Have been up since about 3. Am waiting for the sun to come up and household/neighbours to wake up such that I can get going on a dishwasher swap, oil changes for the cars and summer tire swaps, as well as run a few errands.

    @GrateEggspectations sounds like a fun Sunday. Over the years with diminishing usage I’ve stretched our oil change frequency from 3 to 4, 6,9 months, I use full synthetic. Our car insurance winter tire discount dictates they must be on Nov to Apr. You just reminded me my VP215 is due for oil change.

    Trying to determine if I am at the point in the calendar where taking out the window air conditioners still makes sense

    or leave them in for two more months?

    wife is taking down the christmas decorations. Kinda feel like I should do something.

    I was up from 1:45am up until 4:30am this morning. I fought a nap yesterday but didn't win. Hence the the crappy sleep. I learned that Harbor Freight doesn't offer 20% coupons anymore and how to spot original factory Chevelles besides numbers matching. The more you know....in the AM.

    Is it true that your vehicles insurance is dictated by the government? (No private car insurance) Is that all of Canada or certain providences? @Canugghead

    Yes certain provinces have government auto insurance, not Ontario. BC used to be government run, not sure if it's still so.

    Thanks for clarification. I was watching a YouTube channel and the guy bought a hyper car in Canada but sold shortly later saying the government insurance was way too much for how little the car would be driven. I wasn't sure how that worked.

    Browsing the web & YouTube for new golf irons. Still playing Ping Eye 2’s that I got about 1990. Will create a short list, demo some, and get fitted.

    Done.  I ate and then went outside to pick up branches as soon as it was light enough to see.  We have a great township perk - you call them and they come chip for $20/15 mins and $1 min after that. They will take up to 8” rounds.  Having a wooded property, we take advantage of it a lot.  Last year we had large 2 trees come down and they chipped what I did not want for firewood which is 6” round for me. Chipping was $32.  All that brush for $32.
    As I was picking up branches at 7:30 the neighbor fired up the chainsaw. That was my green light.  I lit the egg, ran for some chicken food when the store opened, got the stream running, then sawed some oak logs, split a pickup truck of oak for dads b-day present, and raked the front and back yards.  
    Done. 

    Now sitting on the deck with shorts and a T-shirt for the first time since late sept or early October and I think it is still hot. According to weather.com it is 61F. I think I should move further north.

    Working on making some stretched canvasses.  Recycled plywood pulled from the trash.  I don't know what I'm doing but everything seems to be working out so far.

    Did some yard work this morning, got my annual spring reminder that there are few things on earth I hate more than pachysandra.  Now sipping a dark & stormy and tending two fires.

    Ever watch that movie?  I think it's on Netflix.  I've thought about it but have never pulled the trigger because it seemed like it was maybe kind of goofy for my tastes.

    I've seen the original and remake.  Not bad although it gave me some flashbacks from my misguided youth.

    Ping Eye 2’s here as well. White dots. Fitted. 

    I’ve hit a few different iron sets, but none as decent (I won’t call it consistently good) as the Pings. In the market for new set of woods, gonna go demo on a rainy day at one of the golf shops in town. We have Dicks, Edwin Watts and Golfballs.com here.

    Wishing I had a lathe so I could turn this into an egg handle.
