Some of you have some shitty eating habits. I can’t remember the last time I ordered a pizza from one of the big chains or are at some of the places mentioned. We pretty much only eat at local places we know the owners and the staff. I would rather spend the extra than deal with fast food places and eat the crap most of them put out. You get what you pay for including the service. If I’m eating fast food, it’s pretty much CFA where they can’t really screw up your order unless you get cute with it or they just give you the wrong food completely which is fine because I’ll eat anything on their menu. I’ll get Panera for breakfast occasionally but I order on the app and pick up and it’s always been right. I’m not sending anything back anywhere unless it’s just so egregiously wrong I can’t eat it. I’m not taking my chances with a remake. My kids have been taught the same way.

Leads in W’s, leads in ERA, at home, he gets the start. Burnes would be the only one that might jump him because of his arm and potential to strike out the side to open the game. No way Alcantara, Rodin, or Musgrove get the start over him. They could always throw Strider and his 14k’s per 9 out there to open.

If her situation is standard for anyone found with what she was found with, then it is what it is. If it has gone past what is “normal” (which I realize is a moving target) then the US should be involved.

It is a sunroom, 3 of the walls are windows that are bricked above/below, one is full brick and the floor is brick. All of the downstairs but the living room and kitchen also have brick floors. It’s a lot different than the current style, but it gets a lot of compliments.

I don’t believe it is the same exact material from what I have seen. It has not had the tackiness of the bed liners.

I’m waiting on the local LineX people to do mine. They bought all the equipment recently, so I’m going to wait a little while until they get the kinks worked out. I tried having one of the other ones in a nearby city come do it because I’ve seen their work, but they couldn’t cross territory lines.

Dry brined if for about 6 hours. I have not been doing that when I’ve smoked them before. Not sure if it was because of that or better temps, but there was very little in the way of drippings for two 5 pound birds compared to my past experience smoking them.

Checked it today, it was in the 60-80 range.

I have mine done twice a year with my cardiologist. I haven’t ever thought anything about the charge, so it can’t be very much for it. I don’t ‘t know that there has really been a need for that often, but he does pretty extensive tracking of everything and requires it twice a year as well as a full cardio work up every other year.

Finally got my BGE setup in the outdoor kitchen after way too long. Running through the low temp smokes at the moment to get the gasket set. Pork chops were round 1 and I have to say they were the best pork chops I’ve cooked. Brined they all day, smoked for about an hour and a half to 145 and they were perfect. They have entered the rotation of cooks now, just need pictures next time. Went with two chickens the next day and they came out better than the ones on the WSM. 3 hours to 165 and they were perfect. I have to say I’m a fan after this weekend, just need to get more ideas from this thread to try. The WSM has been simple, but this was even simpler and was much easier to keep temps in range.

Then when the mother dies because of inaction, you get a malpractice suit filed against you. All the practices in our area are going with a business as usual approach and making sure their documentation is sound and they have concurring physician sign off for now. That includes the ultra pro life Catholic doctor of one the groups and the ultra R one in another group. Their beliefs are that these reasons aren’t intended to be caught up in this law which we’ve told them is a pretty naive view. Attorneys are all recommending that they go ahead and petition the court for every scenario they can come up with which is what I think a few groups are going to band together and do. It’s an f-ed up situation. Some doctors are going to get caught up in it and hung out to dry and potential mothers are going to needlessly suffer in those states that are taking an all or nothing approach. RvW is driving the issue, but state legislature passed trigger laws are the problem that has to be deal with right this moment. The idiots that passed some of them have no idea of the medical consequence of some of those decisions based on what is starting to trickle out now.

This is where I am along with Bolverk’s thoughts a little further up. I switched to D when it was clear Trump was going to be the nominee and shot was going to go off the rails. It has been nothing but reinforced sense. I line up with plenty of old R agenda items, but these take precedence right now. My two girls and the country they grow up in is more important than paying less tax, retiring early, access to firearms, and all of the other 1990’s era talking points. I would even say I’m pro life in a discussion, but legislatively pro choice is the only thing that makes sense. Their future is so important we’re looking at walking away from the state they call home because of how much their rights are being infringed upon.

I really wanted a combo gun/watch safe with auto winders but prices got out of hand quickly on the ones I looked at. Still looking for a decent option for the watches also.

I’m 6+ years into two separate pools and both have had automatic chlorinators and I haven’t had significant issues with CYA. I spend 20-30 minutes a week on the pool at most.

Class C felony in TN for provider punishable by 3-15 years, nothing in the law for the person having the abortion currently although you would think conspiracy or solicitation could come into play. There are also no exceptions here after 6 weeks assuming the trigger law goes into effect, so ending a pregnancy under any circumstance after 6 weeks would be against the law.

Had a meeting with a large OB practice tonight and the entire meeting was about Roe v Wade and the impact to practicing in light of the trigger laws that went into place in our state. It’s pretty scary as the father of two girls the list of issues they see that would potentially be legal issues in our state. Even more concerning was that our local state reps blew them off when they brought it up.

Slowly the two mutts are starting to play together a little bit. The older one just hasn’t taken that kindly to having a puppy nipping at his heels.

You need some more weight in the back corner. Get an overflow bag plumbed in and get that surf wake where it needs to be or make the run by the beach and pick up some tag a longs. Also, do you ID? I want to make sure I’m looking at legal ass in that group picture because it’s looking a little borderline.

John Daly used to play our local club fairly regularly because he was buddies with one of the members that played semi-pro for a number of years. The stories about the bets they would make and the crap they would get into on the golf course were epic. I do some work for a few different players in different leagues and from what I have seen pro and even semi-pro golfers take competitiveness and the want to win at everything to a whole different level. As far as the LIV discussion, it’s clear at this point that the PGA has been screwing over a lot of their players for years. Maybe something like this will get them to make adjustments that benefit their players top to bottom. The format of the new deal is dumb, but golf is also so traditionalist that maybe this will throw a wrench in things and get them to look at things differently.

Landscaper put down a little over 30 rolls of sod last week after fucking around the last couple months during our cool, rainy spring. His timing was much appreciated since it was right on the front end of 2 weeks of the hottest temperatures on record in June around here. If I can keep this grass remotely alive it will be a miracle and one hell of a water bill. He’s supposed to be another 20 or so next week as well.

Jalapeño cornbread at Jack Stack’s is worth the trip. Other primary difference in Memphis when looking at TX is everyone in Memphis is on electric smokers now for the most part. They are just throwing butts, ribs, chicken, and Turkey in an electric smoker and you have “BBQ” at the end.

Memphis has a long BBQ history around pork, but they have jumped the shark on going chain style rather than what it was. They have all opened new restaurants as 2nd/3rd stores and are just getting food in and out. I would rather have Martin’s in Nashville for pork at this point. I eat at Central pretty regularly, but I eat their Turkey which is really good.

Trading up every two years probably helps although there are clearly still plenty of issues on Range Rovers of all ages. I'd probably argue that any $100K+ vehicle should have no serious issues within two years, but maybe that's asking too much. At this point owning any newer model SUV/truck outside of a warranty is a crap shoot with all the electronics involved. My last 3 Ford trucks have been in for more warranty related issues than the Range Rover ever was. I’m a month into a 2022 F250 and it’s been in twice for a trailer brake controller issue and now the backup camera is shot. Those are different than getting stranded on the side of the road, but we never had that issue in the RR either.

We liked ours. Outside of a DEF issue (Sport Diesel) in the first 5,000 miles, ours never was in the shop. She hit a deer in it which turned into a $20k+ repair because of where the idiots mount the electrical components, but it got repaired and was fine. She traded after 2 years and 55k miles or so without any issues. She’ll probably go back to one when she’s 2 years into the Escalade because both kids will be driving at that point and we can downsize some.

Most boat people hate on pontoons, but they are great all around choices for lakes for someone not looking for anything specific. They ride well, haul plenty of people, run shallow if you want to drop a line somewhere, can pull a tube around without issues, etc. I always keep a cheap pontoon because we use it as our base on the water. It’s typically where everyone hangs out and rides the jet ski’s off of, we throw out the large lily pads for the adults to sit on, tie the wakeboard boats up to it, eat on it, etc. I wouldn’t have it as my only boat right now, because we still wakeboard, surf, tube, etc. When the kids are gone, I’ll probably just have a pontoon at the lake and a bay boat at the beach and be done with the rest of them.
