  1. It doesn't help that I'm super pleased with my $350 parts caster with a 40 year old neck that feels like slipping into an old shoe.
  2. For a few years now, I've been eyeballing those American Vintage II '61 Strats in Fiesta Red. Heard some stories of the fret boards being "darkened" and bleeding dye though. I need to play one at some point.
  3. The sound I will forever associate with the Super Reverb.
  4. That's tempting. The 6-Stage mode comes closer to the Maestro MP-1 than anything I've heard to date. I miss that pedal, but for its size, the amount of tone it sucked, and its attempt to electrocute me over the years. I also miss the "Balls" control.
  5. When did this turn into the cheesy, break-up music singing thread?
  6. I'd go with the Jumbo Joe at 18" wide. Still portable.
  7. I just switched from the 5 to the 9 and lost text history as well. Such is life.

    3-2-1 Ribs

    I've mixed a little sauce with peach jelly and some red pepper flakes or diced jalapenos. It's a cheap and easy pepper jelly glaze. It's okay, but I don't do it much these days.

    3-2-1 Ribs

    I'd recommend 2-1-1. 2 hours in the foil turned mine a bit mushy last time I went that long. I've also foil boated baby backs with good results.

    3-2-1 Ribs

    I felt the same way, and I still do for the most part. But a trip to Stiles Switch where they suggested just a little to compliment the ribs really made me see it as a very light handed alternative when the rub is 100% savory. I put a little sauce in the wrap, which is cut even further with ACV and water. Then back on the pit to firm up after I unwrap. No sauce for the rest of the cook. Then, when I serve (mine), just drizzle of sauce. I don't even put paprika in my rub these days. The nice mahogany color on those ribs above is all smoke.

    That sauce is so thin it could be in a squirt bottle. Seems similar to the dipping sauce at Louie Mueller. Honey or brown sugar would work. Just add a little at a time. I usually feel like I don't want sweet on ribs either. But just a little bit of a thin sauce on top that doesn't gloop things up works really well. I also don't use sugar in the rub. So mine are pretty savory and need a little balance to them, which that provides well. I haven't tried the Goldees method.

    A good sauce plus either ACV or water to thin it out. Franklin's "Vinegar Sauce" is thin as hell and would probably work. I have a pretty thin sauce that I've started using based on what I had at Stiles Switch, which blew me away. Any sweetness is well balanced with savory and heat.

    3-2-1 Ribs

    I did 3-1-1 last time I cooked spares and was pretty happy with the results.
  14. Yeah, I couldn't get through Insomnia. Of all the connected books, I'd say the most important one is Salem's Lot. Hearts in Atlantis is okay, but it's really just the first book that has any relevance and you'd be fine skipping it. I mean, the Stand is obviously important, but people should read that one just because. 11/22/63 is my favorite, but read IT first, then chase with 11/22/63. It's a great way to spend a few months. The audio books for each of these titles are exceptional.
  15. Not initially. The first one you get is the stuff of prison riots. You have to wait and get one of the fresh ones passed out by the roll wench.
  16. Used Tweed Fender Bassman. My son picked on up a few years ago for about $750.
  17. I'm 95% sure I was at that show. I would have been about 13, but this rings a bell.
  18. Keep digging, and I'm almost certain you'll find Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass's Whipped Cream. Pretty much everyone had that back in the day and it holds up.
  19. "The state law does not allow us to have a closed primary," said George. "So we're just trying to get the court to tell us that the Republican Party of Texas has the right to have closed primaries[.]" So the law says you cannot, and you want a court to say you can? Legislating from the bench is fine when your side wants it, I guess.
  20. I made my first go at a prime brisket and cooked some ribs as well. I was not disappointed.
