DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

This.

 

The video feed from the drone ships is via satellite and relies on a direct line of sight for the signal. It's not too dissimilar from the way a DirecTV customer receives their signal and if you've ever had DirecTV (or Dish Network), you know it can be temperamental in a hard rainstorm. On that drone ship, there is an immense amount of disturbance going on from the booster slowing itself for the final bit of the landing. The feed always goes out, but it is the live feed that goes out. The video is still recorded.

There are videos from the droneship of it landing:

And videos taken from afar of it successfully landing on the droneship:

And landing and falling over:

Lots of questionable stuff out there, but I don't think this is one of them .

 

Don't think I can be there to help cook, but I'm planning on heading out to @Bigdaddy4760 's at some point. Good chance I can get my smoker fired up out there, too!

 

I fire it up early and put a butt on it

 

I cant relate to people that use emojis over words

 

Its all good I"ll be there showing off my newly acquired skills. I just got into the pork but I made on saturday with the spicy rub. I went kinda heavy on the rub which gives it a little more kick than the last one and it has so much flavor! I'm pretty dang proud of myself.

Do we break in the pit for @bvbull200

 

That's awesome! I followed the posts, but was busy at the time. I need to go back and comment. Food looked great!

Hell, Maner has so much sweat equity in that thing he has every right to fire it up, too. He's let me tend his pit, too, so we're all good. Game respects game.

 

We fire it up when ya get there and put some ribs on

 

Light it up early if you're up to it. Plenty of space to add stuff as we go.

 

There will be plenty more pics of cooks of mine to come. I only smoked a 2 lb pc of pork butt. Cut the ~8lb one I got into 2 or 3 pcs before freezing so I'll need to cook again in a week or 2 at the most! I'm excited that I'll get more practice than once a month!

 

You’re quoting me from a month ago lol. Stay tuned, I’ll post pics of the astronauts hanging from wires while “in space.” Give me a month or so to research and gather evidence

 

So I think I need to modify my jack now.... this was used on a side by side so not sure if the wheels will support my truck.... but you know how may ways there are to find out right!?

 

Thats awesome!!!

 

gonna fab up a skid plate for the bottom??

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I am now! Maybe some massive kickouts also!

 

finally got a RTT! Going to use it friday!!!

 

Needs some LT also to help it get in place! It'll just compress to the bump stops when its lifting. Also makes the pro eagle wheels look cheap.

 

Which is great because those look like a Harbor Freight wheel barrow wheels
