    Brand new thermometer!  All four of mine give different readings.  Plan to eventually replace all of them.

    You likely just wanted a new thermo as I am sure you are aware you can adjust out any reasonable off-set.  Besides, Q is analog (like your new toy), not digital unless going hot and fast. =)

    2 of the 4 were able to be set.  However, only 1 also followed the temp after being adjusted.  So 3 of the 4 were no longer usable.  @WeberWho could probably fix them.

    A small above ground pool for the kids and grandkid. Even though it is small its still expensive and a ton of work. Once installed I’ll build a deck and try to incorporate a grill or two into the mix.

    Nice score, @Ozzie_Isaac. Posting a green Kettle on this forum seems a tad inflammatory though, IMO. 😉

    @kl8ton, I don’t know how many million square yards of that black stuff I laid over nearly 40 years. It looks like your contractor did a decent job. It will cut down on your maintenance for sure.

    More blacktop = less mowing, leveling limestone. Looks great @kl8ton

    Thanks all!  I am loving it.

    @BigreenGreg
    I said that to the foreman on the start of Day2!

    @alaskanassasin
    They said that type of stuff takes so much longer.  They seemed to have the best/newest equipment.  Cutters/grinders, etc.  

    Now to get grass growing up to the new edges of the roads/lots.   Easier said than done as we head into summer.  It's always something.  I am really showing my age as I say how much I enjoy watching grass come in.

    Next thing will have to be fences.  The old fences went well with having gravel almost everywhere.  I just measured using the GIS and I have to replace about a half a mile of privacy fence.  This can be done over time.

    Hydroseeding is the ticket if you want quick grass.

    Agreed.  We have a sod farm really close to us too that we've used before.  One issue I have with sod (other than cost) is that it needs to be watered so much. All new grass does well with staying moist, but sod is a bugger.   Watering it is almost a full time job.  We don't have irrigation for anything (yet).

    I bought a grilling/ bbq book solely because it had a recipe for bacon wrapped fireball whiskey meatballs. Big meatballs 1/4 to 1/3 pounds each using a generous amount of Fireball. I think that I have found my Father’s Day cook.

    Brought a big smile to my face!  I've done TDYs to Eglin/Ft Walton Beach for decades, and have spent many happy hours eating, swimming and photographing there.  
    My last full vacation with what's-her-name was down there, kinda "the beginning of the end", but I still want to revisit there soon.

    Posting a metal green score on a ceramic green forum is not the curse.  It’s something much more eerie that made the guy refuse payment just to be rid of such a nice grill. Ozzie beware.  Your first cook must be something smoked with sage. And instead of eating it, well, I dunno…be creative. See ya on the cheffing tonight thread soon.

    You’ll have to let us know how these turn out.  To me it sounds like these would either be incredible or something you’d want to throw at an enemy when they’re done.
