Took a quick look and many of you have drafted defense players that rarely play and / or simply don't generate points. You will not be competitive as it stands. I assume most of this were auto drafted. As I pointed out before the draft Auto draft works great for offense but does not work for...

I disappointingly only got 2 folks to confirm in the thread for this leave. It's way past the deadline that I gave. As such I have removed all other teams. As a result we have 5 openings to fill. Please let me know if you'd like in. Also if you were deleted and missed the thread I can...

This league has been a bit of a mess as to who's active and who's not. Again I'm going to be very aggressive on removing teams who don't confirm they are participating this year. TWO requirements on this league. 1) Confirm your participation using your current team name in this thread. 2)...

I've sent a PM to each manager requesting you confirm your intent to actively participate. Teams not confirming in the next 5 days will be replaced. Just want to make sure it's a full and fun league.

Each year our little town has a Hopefest which is a time of worship with several Christian bands that play. My brother loved the event more than darn near anything. He'd talk about it for months in advance and all the organizers knew him from his involvement and early arrivals. I was thrilled...

As I've mentioned in a few posts I watch closely my calories and carbs on my weight loss journey. Many nights I eat the same meal which I'm ok with. I intermittent fast so have a large meal in the evening and then a snack meal later. This week my main meal is one lbs of ground chicken browned...

Despite then serving 10000 lbs of ox roast pulled beef near me as @zwiller posted I decided to keep mine located, as in my driveway lol. Here's the Smokefire settled in at 250F and ready for food. I am still astounded on the amount of good blue smoke it puts out. That's true all the way to...

Nice cooler day out today. 77F and a perfect day to fire up the Smokefire. I eat a lot of pork tenderloin and decided to do kabobs instead of whole this week. I've done plenty of chicken souvlaki but never pork. Ran the pit temp at 275F for a bit and then up to 325F. Results are delicious...

The last few years my tomatoes have not done well. Tons of wilt and diseases issues along with very low production. I just do a raised bed and they simply haven't done well since the first year. I do refresh soil with Pro Soil mix etc. Maybe just bad years as I know others who didn't do well...

One of a few things I am working on for a cookout with my neighbors tomorrow. Simple but delicious and great on these hot days. 4 English cucumbers sliced. I scrape the length on all sides with a fork making ridges that helps hold the sauce. One medium red onion quartered then thinky sliced...

Finally got a chance to run the new to me Smokefire through it's paces. Earlier today I ran it for a bit and verified it was working properly. Nothing fancy here but thought I'd share the results of my first cook on it. Four pork tenderloins rubbed with a local jerk dry rub. I used...

I've been considering adding one for awhile now for quicker evening cooks and just the convenience at times. Still love my charcoal cabinet and Lang but sometimes I just want to turn a knob and roll! I looked hard at both Recteq and Weber. Based on a local used deal I went Weber. I got a 2nd...

My buddy enabled me by sending me the link to this auction last week lol. I almost pulled the trigger on a big Meadowcreek hog cooker that went for $2200 which is about 50% of retail but passed. I have too many already and don't have storage space for it. That said I bid away on a lot of...

Nothing fancy but thought I'd share this. I've been working on a few batches this month. Comes in at 160 calories per 1/4 lbs vs the 420 in Jimmy Dean 1/4 lbs. I have been doing 5 oz patties at 200 calories as they seem to stay juicer. According to my neighbor and best friend it's not...

I debated sharing this but because this place is like an expanded family I decided to. You may or may not have noticed that over the last few months I've been less active here. It's with great sadness today that I share the passing of my brother Barry. Back in late September I took him to the ER...

So this storm looks like it will cover half the country in a lot of snow. Looks like I'm up for 8 to 11 inches in Willard OH Temps for the next week or so have highs most days in single digits with negatives at night. I'll be stranded home tomorrow making a big pot of chili. How about...

I committed to getting healthier this year. Dieting only for the first few months and the gym 3 - 4 days a week starting in April. Still in teardown mode but have trimmed 6" off my waist this year (8" since last winter). Down 4 sizes in pants and 2 in shirts. Can't do the GLP1 meds because of...

Both leagues are renewed and draft times set. Tomorrow I'll post a pic of the teams for each league. I will not endlessly follow up this year trying to see who's in or out. It would be nice if you see your team to let me know either way but again I won't chase down the info. It really spoils...

Awhile back I posted the more traditional Calabacita con pollo I made. Really loved the flavors and ingredient wise with fresh produce dirt cheap at the local Mennonite garden stand and Sam's rotisserie chicken it's cheap too. Additionally with limited ingredients it's easier for me to document...
