Well played Sir.

 

I've got long tubes with sims, and I pass

 

Get your inspection done at an inspection only place, like Sticker Stop, or some where like it.

 

So my first turkey smoke came out great. Smoked for 10 hours, at 235-250°F, 12.17lb turkey, internal temp 183°F. Defrosted it in the brine for a few days. Rubbed it with 2 sticks of butter and rubbed on some mixed seasoning from Joe's BBQ. Came it better than I could have hoped for.

 

MMMMMMMM Hungry!!!!! Nice bird!!

 

Thanks it was my first time cooking and carving one myself. Of course I only had to make one actual cut the rest just melted off the bones. Now that I've gone one out of the way. I won't be under as much pressure on Thanksgiving when it counts

 

Good Man!! Practice run always helps!! Nothing like a smoked turkey.

Ive done one for years and its the best. family loves it. Ironically, Mother N Law is in charge this year so back to the baked bird. LOL.

 

Going to do another trash can turkey

 

Has anyone used eagle klaw or another floor mat holding brand to keep the passenger floor mat in place?

 

For $6 it's worth a shot, seems like a solid idea

 

There’s a passenger side?

 

I might need to get those for my wife’s Prius. Passenger mat travels so much it has a passport.

The Husky liners I have in the truck are great - they don’t budge. She doesn’t want them for her shoebox, so I gotta do something about the runaway mat.

for links...

Sweet! Thanks!

 

Velcro is another option a lot of people successfully use

 

Already ordered it.

 

Bought my kids their first car. $2100 gets you a 2001 Mercury Mountaineer, 133K, 2WD. 5.0 baby, just like Vanilla Ice. It's not real pretty, but it's in good shape. Seller had just done brakes, shocks, windshield, head and taillights, rear wiper motor. Our first weekend with it we did ball joints. That was pretty rough for newbies like us, but we had help from friends who knew what they were doing. Also oil change, plugs & wires, and a thorough detailing. The paint is hopeless, and it's pre-dented for your teenage driving convenience, but it cleaned up alright. Up next: fuel filter, and aiming those headlights correctly. And will have to take it to the shop for an alignment. Lots of little stuff to tinker with over the months while they work on drivers licenses. Gonna be a fun time. I've been driving it myself this week just to shake it down and discover any other problems it might have. And it keeps the miles off my truck, which feels like a Rolls Royce compared to this thing.

 

Nice rack

 

Thanks!! Found that in Point Venture surveying some years back

Wife is so short, she never asked me to take it down when she moved in
