    What is the best album, or CD that you've ever owned?

    Ha! was that to fish the tape out of the player when they got stuck? Detroit Rock City is a song on the album Destroyer Yea, those danged DJ's always talked over the intros and outros...It bothered me but didn't stop me...I have always been obsessed with full control of my music. Hated having...

    Has anyone noticed a difference in vacuum sealer bags?

    When you say "noticed a difference", do you mean from the bags of 10 years ago vs. today? Or different bag brands? It wouldn't surprise me if the thickness has gotten ever so much thinner...almost everything has been "shrinkflated", but with newer technology, they may be able to make thinner...

    Featured Rhode Island Clam Chowder (long with lots of pics)...

    Beautiful soup and a well done post. Do they still call that Q-View here? I recall something about that back when I joined here and did some.

    What is the best album, or CD that you've ever owned?

    Yea, that's a tough one. I have been stripping songs off of albums and making compilations since I was a kid with one of those cassette players with one speaker and the buttons all on one end...anybody remember those? The 1970s called and it wants its technology back! For me, it has to be an...

    Beef ribs that trimmed off my last rib roast.

    Great news about your wife, man. All because of an apparent misdiagnosis? On one hand , you can appreciate an abundance of caution, on the other, the stress is also not good for you. The mind is a terrible thing...There is comedian who used this and I'll never forget Bill Nelson. He, and...

    Traeger Ironwood shut off on overnight 18 Lb brisket cook

    Glad it worked out for you, MarkC. I dont spend a lot of time here and certainly not one of the experts here, but your original post was not in the form of a question, more of a narrative. That may be why you didn't get an answer quickly. Are you typing all of this on your phone?

    First pork shoulder in 3 years

    That's great for a 9lb-er to be essentially done in 8 hours. I've always read that a butt is very forgiving but always stuck with the low and slow, getting up at 0-dark-30 and still not figuring that butt for that nights dinner because we have normally eaten by the time its ready for pulling. I...

    Greatest Intro Ever...Rush

    A different day back then for sure. Merciless sometimes. Some say it built character. As I got older I realized it made "character" easily defined. That's why free speech is important...many people will show you exactly their character! I have songs from every one of those bands in my mix today!

    Cool story on Memorial Day

    So much senseless blood and loss and injuries that cant be seen just passing by. I worked in the field of deep ocean salvage and recovery on the U.S. Navy Deep Drone for 5 years (Don't buy the public stats, thats "misinformation", the Navy never states its actual capabilities). We were civilian...

    Greatest Intro Ever...Rush

    I dont listen to anything Kiss that was on the radio, including Beth which was my first huge disappointment from them...too "wussy" for me at the time...and look at me, talking about the macho guys!:emoji_rolling_eyes: I hope you got my joke/point about the macho guys calling me, lets say...

    Pro tip for glasses wearers!

    I've seen the commercials for that stuff. We've never tried it. My problem is unless I get progressive lenses, they cant make glasses that suit all visual ranges for me. I have two prescription pairs. One I had made for TV distance with bi-focal for my phone nearby. They turned out to be great...

    Greatest Intro Ever...Rush

    I haven't been around here enough to know what trouble I could get in! My guess...not a hard rock-metal crowd generally? The guitar that I DON'T play anymore is a '78 Ibanez Artist. It sits gathering dust on its case in the corner of my office with my Yamaha acoustic. I dont even have the...

    Been away a while.

    Unless you are going to camp here and really immerse, paid membership doesn't make a lot of sense. Some folks here spend a lot of time here and have developed personal friendships and many are professionals or just seem to smoke anything that doesn't move...like every day. I was obsessed with...

    Fast food pricing

    Just saw a piece on local news. The fast food chains are ramping up for bargain wars, coming out with all kinds of meal deals and whatnot. It doesn't affect me and the wife much, we dont eat fast food in general very often, regardless of the price; but this could be at least temporary good news...
