Saved $90 on 6 candles? Wow! Come to think of it I guess I never bought expensive candles before either

 

Dang thing looks like a locomotive engine. Nice, like the softening they've one in the nose.
If they do the start/stop right, no reason to disable it - it makes a BIG difference in MPG. M.B. does s/s very poorly, but when done right it's no problem.
2 words - Rhino Liner.
Go for it (with extended warrantee that covers that trans.).

 

The new 10 speed has very close gearing so this one has 3:31 gears. Numerically, it has the same final drive as the previous 3:55 gearing which is what I have now behind the 5.0. Decisions, decisions...

 

Happy bday Dennis!

 

Did some black Friday shopping today. Went with the idea of buying myself a new gun for the range, ended up with 2 hand guns for me and a shot gun for the bf for Xmas

 

How much off were the guns?

 

Weren't you there, Jack?

 

Depended on the gun, but between James and I we got 5 guns and some other miscellaneous stuff, and I paid cash so that helped

 

No Rebecca and myself stopped banging months ago

 

How much was the ruger if you dont mind me asking

 

SHIET. I'm way out of the loop then. My bad.

 

260 I think. But it's an lcp II. I don't think you'd be a buyer for something like that

 

I want something real small my 9mm mp shield is great but in the warmer weather it’s a little to big to conceal comfortably. I’m even looking at some small .38s

 

This one is just a .380. I think my lc9s is a little smaller than a shield and still 9mm. The sig 938 is a little smaller than my lc9s too

 

Its tough to show the physique and not print the fuck out of the gun

 

Went for a nice sail today. Blasted around Buzzards bay in a pretty cool custom (intended to be a round the world non stop record setting, sadly the previous owner had a few broken ribs and didn’t finish)boat. Then got boarded by the USCG guess when your the only recreational boat in sight you get stopped. It’s cool we didn’t put the beer in the deck mounted fridge for that exact reason.

 

Did you happen to notice if they were training new guys? Slow weekend...at least you were a responsible boater!

 

Here is some food porn for you all. I love grilling/smoking/bbqing. I started getting into it about 14 years ago when I bought my first weber gas grill, a genesis...I couldn't believe all the time I had wasted ruining food on a piece of crap grill...Then I got the smoker and from there I just love cooking.

I really have a hard time finding ribs that I truly enjoy in restaurants because I trim the shit out of my meats. I get rid of all the nasty fat (not the flavor fat) but the stuff that ruins the experience...so my ribs are so lean. You don't bite into them and get a mouth full of fat...it's all gentle tug off the bone good.
Here you can see all the fat I have trimmed off of the ribs...a restaurant doesn't have the time to do this...This is 4 racks of ribs and it took me over an hour to prepare them.

You can see they still have fat, but all the fat is surface fat that will cook off. I've trimmed out as much of the in between thick fat as I can...with my sharp boning knife.

And on the smoker they go...
check out that smoke!
After they have smoked for 4-6 hours (depends on lots of variables) they get foiled to finish off the rendering...Look how much fat and grease still comes off a rack after 6 hours...


Look at that pull back. This is what you are looking for...all the fat has rendered and the meat shrinks...

Even my finished product is a process when doing "catering style"...these are for a tailgate...and my dog is ever searching for dropped meat...not going to happen!

I used a 90:10 mix of AlbuKirky Duke City sweet and Mrs. Renfro's ghost pepper bbq sauce. The AlbuKirky I got in a BBQ of the month gift pack and the Mrs. Renfro's is $2.50 at Ocean State Job Lot..It's VERY spicy. Use with caution and know your eaters...if they don't like spice don't ruin their enjoyment...Because nothing beats the smiles and silence that comes when people are chowing good food! My one rule for good sauce is NO high fructose corn syrup...

And there it is...4 racks trimmed, cooked, sliced and sauced...My friends will have them gone in 10 min probably

I've also done some cool alternative flavors...I've done a honey glazed BBQ ribs, Agave ribs...and of course I'll set some aside for the Mrs. that are just dry rub because she doesn't want that extra sugar...

Have a nice day!

 

I'm hungry...

 

Hey, so I'm having a tailgate next weekend at my house... you free?

Those look amazing!
