    That’s fair.  I don’t know what they go for now, but when I sold my gently-used WSM on the old site, I listed it for $100 less than new and it was gone in a day.  I also posted it on the WSM theead on the food board.  More eyeballs there.

    Yea, I posted it there too just in case.  I'm certainly not married to the numbers.  I just now have 3 smokers plus a Weber gasser and just got a Ooni Pro pizza oven...sooooo my wife is a bit feisty as of late.

    Sorry, “Schlub,” but what “utensil” are you referring to?

    To be better put -- don't be a schlub, folks, learn the art of using the double-hinged waiter's corkscrew as AustinMT has pictured.

     

    I started home happy hour early    /shrug

  3. I'm looking to sell one or, possibly, both of my WSM.  

    18 -- In good shape but needs 1 new top grate.  $160ish sounds good?

    22 -- In grate! shape.  Newer model w/ the temp port.  $375ish?

    Ok. I can always mail some to you. Shouldn’t take more than a day to get to you and if I chill it first it should be fine.

    I'll hold off for now.  I'm headed to the lake house early next week and would rather not worry about missing it in the mail.  I'll re-engage in a few weeks

  5. We've taken the boat over to Watermans a couple times in the last few weeks.  We just stayed downstairs and it was much better than it used to be.  Of course it's hard to mess up Fish & Chips and a bucket of Coors Light.
    Have you been over to Bolivar lately? We have a friend trip w kids (5 families) planned there for a month from now and I'm wondering if it might be dicey
  6. careful, there is now a $99 microcenter inland professional 1TB nvme ssd with QLC (quad level cell) flash ram instead of the TLC (triple level cell) of the pricier ($129) inland premium 1TB nvme.  QLC is bad for boot/scratch drives because it is so slow to write.  it also has less endurance than the other types of flash ram.  good for game drives though. 
    I'm too drunk to understand what this post means right now.
  7. If you're doing photo work, consider allocating a big part of the budget to a really good quality display, possibly calibration tool, and possibly wacom tablet.
    The computation stuff isn't a big deal.  I've been heavy into it last few years and make do on ultrabooks and it handles it with aplomp...nothing really taxes the machine other than large HDR composites.

  8. I'm looking to build my first PC -- out of boredom really.  

     

    My main purposes would be work, standard home use, mild photography editing (emerging hobby), and mild gaming (nostalgic hobby).  I would say I have pretty good tech skills, but not from a building/programming standpoint.  I did a simple search on pcpartpicker and found this build.  https://pcpartpicker.com/b/kf9G3C 

     

    Any feedback on it?  Also, how do people go about picking up software?  Do you just take it in the shorts and buy an outright Microsoft license?

     

    Since we're about to move I won't be buying the pieces yet, just doing the research and price tracking.  I'm in DFW so I have a MicroCenter nearby
