  1. If it can’t be bought at Academy, you don’t truly need it. But, yeah, can’t go wrong with Game Winner gear from Academy. More than the kid will need. $5 camo t-shirts are nice, too,
  2. Tried to edit a post in “Shit I’ve cooked lately” thread, was told that too much time had elapsed to edit - time was only 5 minutes. Also, I think it required a reason for editing to save the edit.
  3. They updated the site software? Shit is borked. Can’t edit above post because too much time elapsed (5min!). so my intended edit: ERhine, container says “stock” so if actual shrimp stock + BBQ sauce, what’s your method / recipe, please?
  4. Maybe I missed it, but what’s in the “BBQ Shrimp sauce?” Is it just a BBQ sauce you put on shrimp, or does it have shrimp stock (or whatever) in the BBQ sauce? Curious, but don’t ultimately care because I’d supersmash those wings on sight no matter what’s in the sauce.
  5. Well, the menu seems to work (iPad/Safari) but when I tried to subscribe, I entered all the payment info asked of me and when I went to pay, I was redirected to PayPal (which I don’t use). I went back to the Surly order page, tried again, and was redirected to PayPal which told me I had been inactive, I had been logged out, and to start over again on Surly. Again, weird because I don’t use PayPal, so how could I have even been logged in to get logged out?
  6. About tree-fiddy/month is the moral imperative. Pay monthly, it's $3.51. Pay annually up front, $3.49x12. Allow for additional donations, "reward" those however you feel like it (titles, VIP areas, whatever). Maybe for specific activities (e.g. banner at USC), have separate donation drives to supplement the general fund.
  7. Somehow, someway, my wife and I watched that performance live. We never, ever watch award shows, and against all odds, that was on our tv that night. We were both like, holy crap, that guy (Stapleton) is gonna be a superstar. And the rest, as they say, is history. We still talk about that performance, and Stapleton is a regular on our home stereo system. With regard to JT, I don’t know enough about him to begin to analyze his work as you have, but I respect the Hell out of the guy for his longevity in being relevant. And “Dick in a Box.”
  8. The show continues to impress with music - beginning of the episode, music playing was from Unforgiven. Definitely one of my favorite shows on TV but....
  9. Latest iteration of weeknight chicken cordon bleu. Grilled chicken sandwiched between slices of grilled honey baked ham and topped with aged Swiss cheese recommended by a friend. The strong nuttiness of the cheese went nicely with the sweet and salty of the honey baked ham. With grilled asparagus.
  10. Really, really sucks about your sweet ride, but thankful that you and your dog are OK. sweet jeep, too
  11. Surly 1% representin’ with 2 new half ton trucks in less than one month?
  12. We don't have a dog, yet. Wife (no pics) had him that morning, and she swears she has no idea when and how he could have possibly done it. One of the great mysteries of being parents.
  13. That guy is a true artist. For those of you who didn't come across him on TOS, here is some of his work (spoilered for large pics):
  14. Walked into the bathroom this morning and was greeted by this skid mark on one of the bath mats. Should have put something in the picture for scale. It was epic.
  15. Looking forward to the picks you’re gonna post in the Shit I’ve Cooked Lately thread and in the U in her B forum.
  16. People frequently ask what handgun they should get for a female, whether for concealed carry, range shooting, home defense, or any combination of those. I've seem opinions ranging from small-frame revolver (dainty and simple to use?) to "go to a range, let her shoot a bunch of different ones, and let her pick which one she likes" and everything in between. I don't recall seeing it referenced on TOS or here, so I thought I'd post about American Rifleman's two-part non-scientific study called the Ladies Pistol Project that tried to help answer these kinds of questions: The links at the end of this post lead to the complete articles and results (which primarily key on small-medium-large hand size). The cumulative (across all hand sizes) results were as follows: Ladies Pistol Project I (all purposes) Cumulative Results: SIG Sauer P238 Walther CCP SIG Sauer P320 H&K VP9 Springfield EMP4 Ladies Pistol Project II (concealed carry) Cumulative Results*: Glock 19 SIG Sauer P238 H&K VP9SK Walther PPS M2 Glock 43 *Note: the participants didn't actually conceal carry the pistols and only shot them at the range. Analysis post-Pistol Project II [insert size, length, and expensive tastes jokes here] Anyway, I found the "studies" to be interesting. Links are below. Enjoy.

  17. Something refreshing to help with Blastfurnace 2018. Greek-marinaded chicken skewers and vegetables with rice and a little humus.
  18. The Caribbean and The Pacific have completely different vibes IMO. GottaB, do y’all have any preferences with regard to food, culture, beach types, water sports/activities? Prefer all-inclusive or on-your-own? Resort or beachfront cottage? Ceiling for budget?
  19. No kidding. Driving home from the office right before 3PM my truck was telling me it was 104 (hey, better than the 114 from our parking lot last Friday). Just now I was putting a few things away in my 107 degree closed garage when I decided to take out the trash. I opened the garage door, walked out, and WHOOSH! A coolness hit me so refreshing that I literally couldn’t believe it. I think I had a brief flash-daydream of skiing.
  20. Showcasing Whiskey Myers and including Uncle Lucius in E4 was a pleasant surprise. Texas represent, y’all.
  21. Congrats! You’re gonna love it. Given what you have already, build this to maximize area for raised grilling and multilevel smoking/roasting. Rigid grilling tongs for arranging coals. Rib and roast rack is cheap and handy. With regard to a computer, DigiQ. That said, personally I think it’s a moral imperative to master one’s pit before turning it over to a computer. You say you have experience with stick burners, so you already have the food prep down, and it probably wouldn’t take you that long to master the standards on a BGE. Plus, you’ll know your pit’s quirks and can set it up the computer accordingly. Looking forward to pics of food cooked!
  22. username checks out
  23. Sear then finish with indirect heat all on the grill. I have a BGE. For these thick cuts, I'll get it as hot as I can, sear the steaks, put in the platesetter, and finish them with the dome closed. This way I get a great smoky flavor. It's what I like.
