Happy Birthday, Chris!

^^ Some of those are downright heartbreaking.

Nope, pretty sure that it hit 80 yesterday. It's pretty messed up really and feels more like early September than November.

Making the most of global warming and got in a ride to the coast this morning. It was 65 at 6AM...

This.

Looks fun lit up with the more traditional jack o lanterns.

Couldn't let Jeff have all the fun. Didn't come out quite like I hoped but ok enough for this year.

@VPI - like Doug and Steve recommended, even coating and allowing for even drying will be your best defense against cupping. For aesthetic purposes I usually go thinner for coasters than the above piece but that stock started 7/8” thick and I could only bring myself to surface it down to 1/2” (roughly) to get proportions close to what I wanted without feeling totally wasteful. And if you want some super weather resilient exterior coasters with designs on them just let me know and we can laser etch some glass for you.

Super minor project from the East Coast crew. A friend/consultant is retiring who was a major part of the project that I'm currently responsible for. So I made him a small token of appreciation - a custom black walnut coaster.

I think your challenge here is that you are not going to get any of the "BBQ" flavor by only slow cooking the pulled pork in a instapot or crock pot. That's not to say that it might not be very tasty, the carnitas recipe that I use mostly cooks the pork in a slow cooker but still pan fries the pork at the end and for me, that makes all the difference. Still, when I want BBQ pork, that's what I want. If I were in your shoes I might try using the balsamic vinegar to make a BBQ sauce. that sounds yummy to me. Might be a start here - https://www.thereciperebel.com/honey-balsamic-pulled-pork/

A very happy birthday to you, Marc!

For the record, I didn't do shit. All credit to @tkam.

Happy birthday, Peter! Hopefully my merge efforts worked.

Happy Birthday!

Happy belated, Peter!

I looked into this because I know Todd is a busy guy. 1. It appears that the Calendar feature has now been replaced by something called "Events". 2. They intentionally removed the ability to display birthdays as a default feature. There's an add-on that I'll try to get Todd to incorporate and see if that fits the bill. It's a nominal fee that I'll cover.

Almost done with this, definitely have enjoyed. Can't believe that @en480c4 has not posted about it.

Perhaps not post rock, but Morphine begs to remind you that they showed how epic the sax was in rock.

96 ain’t a bad run and a seriously impressive resume. Have to wonder if Murder, She Wrote isn’t worth a reboot.

Looks pretty great to me, Jeff. How much does the internship pay?

Lily and I decided that this week required pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting.

Looks beautiful, Grahame.

Southern-style cheddar biscuits are in the oven, pics to follow. LATER - had to rush, couldn't quite do them as drop biscuits, but they were tasty. Breakfast tomorrow will be good.

Because, you know, what Russia did 8 months ago was an ambiguous act?

Any IEC socket will be fine if bought from a reputable source. I'll let others chime in on the proper characteristics of the fuse for this amp as I haven't built one. https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=iec+socket+with+fuse
