Starting prep for a 2/2/1 rib cook on the Big Green Egg.

Yep. That is in the plan. Just need to pick one.

Yeah the old mailbox was ridiculously low. I think around 30 inches from the ground. No idea why USPS allowed it. I should have just started from scratch wit a new post, but I decided to try to put a new facade on first to see how that turns out.

Took about three hours to refinish the existing weird old house mailbox with a modern model. Tried to use the existing post, though it was super crooked so I might end up ripping it all off anyway. Before After I absolutely suck at carpentry and have none of the right tools.

After living with one for a week, I would say the Sony OLED beats out the equivalent LG in every way but the operating system. Android is such a clunky piece of shit for a TV...or phone. ? The weird speakers built into the A9F are excellent for TV speakers.

A little searing action for the Costco ribeye caps.

Not much as the grills were wrapped up just as it started pouring rain. Fucking Al Gore and his ManBearPig.

I did a ton of research and a big consensus for first bike is one that has some tech, anti-lock breaks, maybe even traction control that is not expensive. The Suzuki SV-650 used is typically highly recommended for a largish starter bike. I see no reason to buy a mini bike, can’t see anything or be seen. While even Schott has gone more designer than motorcycle leather, I am not sure that Japanese designer fake motorcycle leather jackets are really all that useful on a bike. They are all just knock-offs of the Schott anyway. Certain Schott’s are great motorcycle jackets as are the Belstaff Pure Motorcycle line. Both designer but actually functional. Look at Saint jeans out of Australia, comfortable with much better protection than the blend of Kevlar some jeans are using these days. MSF is awesome training.

Yes, the neighbors are kind of weird. He is an older guy in some kind of sales position that seems to have a lot of free time. I guess he either took a picture from his deck or went over to bug the workers daily for the whole build.

Anything is possible

Not sure if anyone would have any interest, outside of maybe Steve and his apprentice, but the new neighbors brought over a blueberry pie and full photo documentation of the build of the house. What was sold as and listed for taxes as a 1972 home with renovations, would appear to be a near complete tear down and new build. Note the sweet green fridge in many of the pictures and the worker riding the chimney like a bull before it collapsed through the floor into the basement. They tell us the chimney was going to be the only thing kept, until that. House Build

Happy Birthday dickhead.

Happy Birthday Raffy

Looks great.

It was 10,800 new and the clearance price was 8500 and they offered me another 20% off. It is last years model that does not have the full pull out in the cabinet, it just has the pull down door on the top. It was really over the top and felt like I could park my SUV on top of it.

Mostly came to mattress shop as I must upgrade to a King as Sady and Kasia are bed hogs. Ended up with a new Aireloom Adjustable, a 77” OLED, 2 65” OLEDs, the Lynx Sequoia Grill and I still haven’t left the store.

The bottom one is a beast and the deal is awesome. But it is extreme overkill for even Head Case based on the minimal times I would use a grill over the smoker. Evidently it is so well insulated that you can get 1200 degree sear temp.

Trying to decide between going cheaper Medium Or Head Case

Happy Birthday Shelly. I am sure it will be great, hopefully the weather is not too bad around there today.

Got to try the GS-X Mini and the Gilmore Lite MKII with my Laylas at Axpona. Very impressed with both with the little CIEMs, not sure I have any headphones to use with the big one anymore, but when Justin decides to make me a Lite in the blue color above, I will definitely add it to the desktop. ?

I do too, but this is in Glen Ellyn, Illinois.

Thanks for the inputs gents. I am trying to configure a deck with a wood burning pizza oven, and the grill or grill and smoker. Was hoping I might get an elite and handle them all.
