  1. The rest on the counter helps set the bark by cooling off and letting it harden up a bit. Like said above it just turns to mush if you put it away hot.  It took 8-12 hours to get it to 205, so an hour on the counter doesn’t cool it all the way down in the least.

  2. @YGIFS not in the least:

    Most Spoken Languages in the World

    1. English

    Known as the official language of business, English is the most widely spoken language in the world, with the highest number of speakers, and the highest number of countries where it is spoken.
     

    if Ohtani wants to transcend baseball and sport around the world, it behooves him to be literate in English.  Unless he has a dud personality.

  3. @G650 I’m interested in your opinion on the SRAM wireless.  Looking for my next setup. I’m currently on a rim brake Campy Record 11-sp bike.  I enjoy the process of putting the bike together piece by piece, from the hubs out (yes I build my wheels).  Next bike will be 12-sp electronic shifting disc brakes.

    The credit union I work at is the largest in our area (28,000 members) and our total assets are $550,000,000. He would have 150,000,000 AFTER buying 100% of it and that's only this contract and none of his outside baseball money.

    Maybe he can spend some of the money on Rosetta Stone and learn to speak English?

    Her:  "Why isn't T'Vondre going to the Heisman thing?  He should be in the "Final Four" or whatever it's called."

    Me:  "Well, lets start by asking what you know about any of the people who ARE going to be in NYC for this.  Do you even know what schools / programs they are from or how well they have performed for their respective programs?"

    Her:  "That doesn't matter."
     

    Agree with her here.

    Looked at the carbon bike in person and it has some road rash on the front fork and a few other smaller blemishes elsewhere, but the frame looks fine. The downshifts were fine, but upshifts were a little rough which is surprising (?) I don’t have experience with the 105 group set.

    Need to think this one through… 

    Some fresh shift cables can clean up some of that rough shifting.  Carbon bikes that have had wrecks can have hidden damage also. I’d get a thorough checkout on the frame and fork. 

  7. You have to pay the market rate or the market will correct it for you.  It’s why most coaches get a raise after a great year.  We got a bargain at the beginning with Sarkisian because he was toting some baggage.  Del Conte has said before that the program is evaluated after the season is over.  So far it’s mostly been a fun season, so we’ll see how it goes.  I wouldn’t trade Sark for Lane Kiffin.  So there’s your market.

    Stop brake checking semis, YOU AND YOUR WIFE!  

    And I beg to differ.  Rams are mostly pricks for the tow mirrors flipped out and the modded / piped exhaust.  Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes SUV drivers are the biggest morons on the road, IMO.  You're driving a freaking modern car with bluetooth yet your holding your phone (on speaker) in front of your face while driving and doing your makeup at the same time.  All while in the left lane doing 10 under.

    Back in the day, say early ‘80’s, my buddies and I noticed the profile of the drivers of white Buick Regals.  9/10 were young ladies putting on makeup (before cell phones, so no problem there).
