About a decade ago I bought some ribs that were either St Louis or Spares. They were super fatty and the wife said never make these again. I have made baby backs ever since. Now the BBs normally have the thick loin which is also not prefered either. We like the thin end of the BB rack much...

Got a nice cool day to whip up some bread. I fed and discarded on the starter a couple times and got it real happy. I really need to do this every time, but I admit hadnt done it all the time in the past. It made a significant difference. I added 20g of everything bagel seasoning to a...

We are planning a big vacation next year with load of wildlife viewing. Need binoculars that are decent. ChatGPT recommended some Vortex Diamondback 8X42. Does that sound like the right magnification? Seems like it may not be?? budget is well under $400. I need but a real camera as well...

So my cataract surgery recovery has been bumpy to say the least. I reacted to the prednisone drops. That caused the interocular pressure to go high and foggy vision. So they got me off all the drops a couple weeks early, no issues after that. I had one light adjustment and was to have...

Seems all but one have closed up or been bought out. I found the last remaining one looking for Lumberjack pellets using the store locator. Its only about 50 miles away (sarcasm). But they are very close to my eye surgeons office who I will be seeing weekly for a few more weeks. So I stopped...

My old Craftsman two gallon compressor leaks to zero overnight. ive messed with it and cant locate the leak...about done with it. Ive had it for decades and its generally just been ok, but leaked its whole life with nothing attached. I cant find a big selection of smaller compressors, so...

Picked up a 9.75lb brisket the other day at Costco. Trimmed off 2.2lb of fat. So starting weight is 7.55lb. It was a weird one, large flat, small point. You get whatcha get. Excited that Lanes brought back the Ancho Espresso rub. It was one I originally got from Rec Tec back in the day and...

Itsw finally cooling off enough to rn the oven and make some bread. Starter needed a couple feed and discards to get back in shape. Made this boule just now.

So I can no long eat any dairy. its a PITA, but I am working it out. Dairy free cheese is really not that good. But thats what I can eat. My wife hate it and will only tolerate a dairy free pizza. not much else. DF butter is magic tho. My wife wanted ABT's, so I made 10 with real cream...

If anyone is or was an electrician... Our voltage regulator (several 240 circuits) has been alarming and our Ting monitor is showing voltage drops to about 107 volts. Xcel was just here and its not their supply. Our electrician will be out tomorrow. BUT. Curious what could be wrong? To...

I needed to replace my Weber Genesis and Rec Teq RT-700 covers. Weber Genesis: I found the same one I had for 9 years. King Kong Grill covers. Last a long time, really good price. Bought again. Rec Teq: I think they are charging $95 for their cover. Which is a joke. Plus I have to cut the...

Most that know me, know its been a year from h*ll at best. My dog has been ill since late May, various issues. He would show improvement, then get worse than before. Repeatedly. Lots of testing, imaging, etc. to no avail. He eventually stopped eating and drinking, so no bowel movement, no...

I read through a few old threads, but here is the deal: I have a LEM patty make that make 4 3/8" pattys and after cooking they are always smaller than the buns. And its PITA to clean. SO: is 5" the better option? Thinking about this one. The grooves, dimple and papers all sound like...

Nevermind, I cleaned ad rebooted my laptop and seems like what ever was hung up is gone.

I pondered this while running a more permanent extension cord to my Rec Teq. In short I ran it out an old conduit from the garage then under the deck and up. its way better. I use a portable GFCI thing and thats in a surge protector. The Question: Do you unplug your pellet grill between...

I wont go into the details as its not important to the point. I ordered some product and when it arrived it was not quite up to the description, I hesitated to complain, but did. They immediately agreed something was off. The replacement was identical. Again they thanked me to letting them...

I ran out of saved brisket and picked up an 18lb choice FP at Costco for $5.89/lb. That hurt. They didnt have many so I did my best on picking one. Some were rock hard, the one that came home was bendy with some hard fat. The trim was endless, removed nearly 6LB of fat. Ten years ago I...

This came up in another thread, so I didnt want to highjack the topic. Ive been a roku user for decades, but have started to run into some issues with the Ultras. Nothing huge but real annoying. and roku was bought by Fox, and that tends to upend things. SO: AI says Apple 4K + is the best...

For a couple few hours I couldn't get SMF to load. Was it me or was it truly down for some maintenance or some such? I didnt see any comments about it after it came back to life.

Spring is a wild time up here. The deer and elk are birthing and the bears are waking up. This is a frame of a video that I cant figure out how to post. He was on the run tho.
