  1. Doing a pair of country white loaves today.  They're rising in the loaf pans at the moment.  I received, as a gift from work many years ago, the Salt Lick Cookbook.  This bread recipe is the only one I ever have made from it because I'm not trying to recreate their BBQ.  But the bread recipe, which isn't anything mind blowing, turns out well every time.

    150 foot line?

    Mynigga.jpg. that's awesome. We are old.

    Yeah, it's the recreational version of a racing ski.  All wooden.  7' long.  Side cut is about 1.5" or so.  150' line and 45 or mph.  Big carving turns.  You barely can hear the boat.  Chop is not really an issue either.  Bought it back when they were a lot cheaper from the looks of his website.  Whole lot of fun.

    Ok- so I’m a big chicken about winding roads up in the mountains. Every time I go to Colorado in a normal car I freak the fuck out going to breckenridge and say never again. Is the a flat road through the Rockies well to the north?  I don’t want to drive a 33 foot rig thru switchbacks at 8 MPH with cars stacked up a mile deep. 

    Friend of mine did a rented 5th wheel all over CO, UT, and NV, etc. during the summer.  He pulled it with a V8 Tahoe 4x4.  He did the trailer brake, transmission cooler, etc.  He made it, but overheats and slow (annoying to other drivers) speeds on grade through CO were rough.  He said it was great, but not without issues.  And this was 3 weeks with no plague.

    I am 100% no sarcasm rooting for you.

    I'm both super jealous and not jealous at all simultaneously.  I cannot wait to see it unfold.  Wulaw, may e'erything go your way.  But it probably will be a mix.

    Get a Weber Smokey Mountain. They learning curve is short. The brands you linked have way too many 1 and 2 star reviews on Amazon, and their lower Fake Spot grade means the percentage of low star reviews is even higher. The WSM has very, very few poor reviews, and I’m pretty sure they’re made in the USA (that’s important to me).

    This.  Get a WSM, preferably the 22.5" one.  Load up charcoal and 3 wood chunks of your choice.  Open all vents low and high  Light up 12 of the coals in a chimney, and dump them in the middle.  Foil the water pan (I prefer two clay pot bases in there instead of water).  Assemble.  When it's up to temp (using an external thermometer), close down two of the three lower vents, close the third one down to a pencil width (that's metric), and leave the top vent open.  Once the thick white smoke clears up a bit, add meat.  Cook, wrap, maybe don't wrap, probe done, temp done, read up on it.  But when you get the latter part right, it will be world class as far as you're concerned.

    I still slalom.  I'm probably the only person I ever see out on the lake doing it these days.

    We're still slalom skiers, too.

    When it's rough, this Maherajah lonboard is fun on a 150' line.

    interview with Crowe.  it was on purpose but for an interesting reason

    The scene immediately cuts to Rat driving love interest Stacy, blasting Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir,” off their “Physical Graffiti” album — a glaring mistake to the band’s Zep fanatics.

    “There was some kind of publishing arrangement that we weren’t able to have the actual ‘Led Zeppelin IV’ album,” an amused Crowe told the Daily News. But we were able to get ‘Kashmir.’ So the decision then was that Rat messed up,” he laughed.

    Add third option to above statement!  :)

    Why the gloves?  I wash my hands before and after I touch food.  Why do you wear gloves to handle brisket?  A lot do.  Trying to understand why.  Because maybe I should also.

    It's pretty warm.  Glove keeps the heat just enough off the hand to slice things up a lot of slices at a time.  Plus, hands washed or not, if I'm slicing for others, I think they appreciate seeing a gloved hand (most remark about it positively in my experience).  I know I do.

    Damone knocked his girlfriend up when he wasn't looking, why wouldn't we accept that he also gave him the wrong album advice?  

    That's either next level analysis or next level analysis which ignores two scenarios:  (1) Damone gave good advice, but Rat fucked it up or (2) Damone gave bad advice, but Rat fucked it up.  Either way, Rat fucked it up.  Stacy was DTF after that old yearbook perusal, and Rat made up an excuse about his sister's car over Stacy's protestations and left. 

    I choose to believe that they intend it to be a funny transition.  I don't know how involved Cameron Crowe was in the movie (and I never read the book), but his song choices are pretty intentional and I want to believe it's intentional.

    /sorry for the disruption all.  Back to your collective epidemiological statistical analysis (which I enjoy) and such.

    Which isn’t on side 1 of Led Zeppelin IV.  Always bugged the shit out of me.

    I always thought that that was intentional to show how he was screwing up the date from the get-to.  It's a great transition.  Damone tells him when it comes to making out, Side 1 LZIV.  Immediate cut to Rat in the car with Stacy blasting Physical Graffiti.  Love it.
