Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I don't regularly post pictures of food. But this shit was just too good not to share. Jen cooked not one, not two, but 3 TRI TIPS tonight... along with my other favorites - asparagus, mushroms (in parmesan) bell peppers and stuffing.

I'm fucking laying on the couch sweating because I'm so full!

I paid her the highest compliment I give on food by saying "Oh my god babe this shit is stupid!" (yes, she knows that means I like it)





Happy Father's Day you hooligans!

 

That. Looks. Legit!

 

This was the brand I looked at in addition to the Stihl stuff. I have to say, the only reason I went to Stihl was because I thought I'd be buying batteries for ever and charging all the time. Turns out that's less true today.

 

I went with a black and Decker plug in. But I've also got a small yard. The wife used the mower today... Told her she's a pro from all the vacuuming she's done.

I was already having a shit day anyway, no point in trying to make it better! Lol

 

I've got a Baja Rack in my garage collecting dust if you're interested. I'd let it go for a good price for you to help with the rebuild.

I used to have both lumber racks and a topper and could just manage to switch beyween the two by myself. New truck came with a topper and bars so I decided to just stick with the topper. The front bar can switch between the topper and cab roof tracks for longer items. I can't load it up with as much weight as the lumber racks but have carried 20' sticks and 5'x16' hog wire panels. Alternatively you can use a hitch mounted bed extender and/or a headache rack. A Prinsu and hitch extender would be pretty versatile.

 

This place is dead today....

 

If someone had a week to spend in England what should they see? Besides the obvious harry potter movie prop museum...

 

Doing another day trip to explore, clear backroads, and scope out potential new camping spots in Stanislaus National Forest this Sunday 6/23

Looks like @Pella and possibly @Papadave418 are in. Let me know if you're interested.

This isn't Fordyce or Slickrock by any means. But we always manage to have fun, make a bit of adventure, and see some pretty cool sites.

 

Practice is beginning to heat up in the 'hood. Fireworks practice, that is. Could be a special year.

I hereby invite all comers to my house for the 4th to watch the crazies in the Oakland hoods.
It's a Thursday, and I have to work on Friday. Fortunately, not much happens on Fridays.

Fireworks begin around sunset, and usually last til after midnight. I'll be in bed before then, though.
So, if you're not out fighting the crowds during the Holidays, come on by. Bring the kiddies. I'll be charring some meats, and drinking cold brew.

 

The Tower of London is cool. And at the risk of sounding like a total nerd check out the London natural history museum and Kew gardens (AKA the London botanical gardens)

 

London also has an amazing WWII museum.

 

If you like literature grab a beer at The Eagle and Child, locals call it Bird and Baby. CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien used to have a literature club there on thursdays with a number of other well-known authors.

 

Drink beer, eat fish and chips, see Stonehenge and many other places. Newmarket and Cambridge are great towns to see. Go see the Roman baths downtown London. Ride the tube drunk and get lost.

 

All most excellent ideas, thanks gents.

 

If you happen to be there between July 4-7 the Goodwood festival of speed will be going on. I’ve always wanted to go watch the hill climb up Lord March driveway.
