  1. Or you may be a wizard. Nice work!
  2. Hopefully, it's on par with the security they had around Epstein in his jail cell.
  3. So I went to visit her on Sunday and as I'm walking by the front desk, I see what appears to be the invitation I sent her sitting on the desk like an announcement. For a second, I'm thinking, "Did she invite the whole place to our house for Thanksgiving?" I'm imagining the bus showing up with a random assortment of olds. As I get closer, I realize it's a flyer for the facility's holiday gathering. They just happened to use the same, generic, "fall festival" form from MS Word I did. It's a good thing, I can't have any randoms breaking a hip at our house.
  4. You gonna get hangry on Sundays.
  5. This is the recipe for the country white bread from the Salt Lick cookbook. It's the only recipe I've tried from that book (it was a gift). 1 Tablespoon instant yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water. Put that in your stand mixer with the dough hook and let it sit for 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of water and two cups of bread flower and mix. As it comes together, add two more cups of flour and 1 Tablespoon of salt. Add up to two more cups of flour (recipe calls for 5.5--6 cups). Kneed with the dough hook on speed 2 (always speed 2). After a few minutes, slowly add a cut up stick of softened butter. The dough will be pretty sticky at this point, but as it continues to kneed, at a spoonful of flour at a time until pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Let it kneed for about 8 minutes. After it's done, turn it out onto a floured surface and form into a ball. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and put the ball into the bowl. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise for an hour. When it's done rising, gently punch the air out of the dough and divide into two pieces. On a floured surface, roll the dough out into roughly a 9x12 rectangle. Fold into thirds and pinch the seems to seal. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and put your folded dough into the loaf pan. Repeat with the other half portion of dough. Let the loaves rise in the pan for 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. When done, remove from the pan and let cool on a rack. I made a couple of loaves yesterday and will use one for my Thanksgiving dressing.
  6. Nothing good happens when OU wins.
  7. And the heat comes from the top (reflected off the dome) on the WSM
  8. Thanks, man. It's tough, but she still has some good days. Also, we're having a big crew, nearly all of whom got AirB&Bs or hotels. When this goes off the rails, it's going to be a calamity. But I'm optimistic. Brother in law is coming over early on Thanksgiving morning to help me drink bloody Marys and tend the fire on the offset.
  9. ESPN but no ABC here. Glad I got the antenna situation situated.
  10. Inspired by the guitar thread, which never shall be merged, I started watching a 1962 Bluesbreaker demo, which led me to ask for no related reason, is Matchless still around. And I saw this demo on their cite. And while there's no way I'm paying $3000+ dollars for no new Matchless, I haven't had a demo make me want an amp so much since the demo I watched for the Magic 5e3 I now own.
  11. As the owner of a Tweed Twin from the Custom Shop as well as a Harvard and Deluxe, I'm gonna tell you there are amps you can crank and amps you can't. That Bassman isn't exactly an Amp you can't crank. So I'm gonna make a ruling right here. Crank it! Yeah, that 1x12 Harvard clone was my last purchase. It hit just the right spot. And while not the $100 Bassman 100, I felt like it was priced pretty reasonably.
  12. Yeah. She was hot; you were hungry.
