    What vehicle do you drive?

    Well, as the ABS brakes on my truck are only in the back, I thought getting as much traction with those brakes seemed logical. You guys are blowing my mind.

    Yeah, trim them to death, and then I cut them to 2-3 rib pieces. Easier to handle when you finish them as they are so tender that a lot of handling will just cause them to fall apart.

    Gardening

    I forage sometimes, but not around my own house, curiously. We have friends with a cottage and while I'm on vacation there we do a lot of walking in the woods, and I have been teaching the kids what wild lettuce and such looks like, and they take great pride in making salads from things they...

    I made ribs for today. Forgive me, but mother of all that is holy they were fanfuckingtastic. I made ten pounds for 6 adults and a mess of kids, and they were the first thing gone. Started with ribs from Costco, and put on a dry rub with all the usual suspects. Rubbed them down with a lot of...

    That sucks. It's gorgeous here. About 65, and it's supposed to be about 80 and clear tomorrow. We've been dropping into the 50s at night and haven't run our air conditioner in ages. Not trying to rub it in, just really enjoying it.

    I have ribs in the sous vide. They'll be in about 25 hours when I get them out. I put a rub on them before going in, then made a rub related sauce I'll put on before finishing them on the bbq. Will report back.

    If you search a long time online you can sometimes find great deals, but not consistently. Check out a Re-Store. Sometimes they have huge sets of hardware for dirt cheap..

    Yeah, get a template, mark the whole you are using, and check six times before you actually start the drill. It's easier to screw this up than you think. Edit: Lowe's has decent ones on the cheap:Shop Liberty Clear Cabinet Mounting Template at Lowes.com

    What vehicle do you drive?

    No, I now have ABS whereas they would have simply locked before. Yeah, that's right. I put a bunch of sandbags in the rear during winter. Hopefully this improves my braking power.

    Yeah, I played it and was a pitcher, and I can tell you it happens more often than you'd like that you throw that ball at the plate and a split second later it's flying back at your head...It's a really short distance. Super fun to play, though. Small in-field, fast pitches, softer balls.

    I have yet to meet anyone who is a plumber or electrician who says they can't find work at the drop of a hat. They all have it pretty good, though it's hard work. Automotive mechanic is another possibility. There were way, WAY to many 6-8 years ago, and there are too few since. Lots of...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Had my brakes looked at by my garage, they said everything about them was wrong. Totally rebuilt the brakes for $650, and now I can't get them to lock up. Went on gravel, couldn't get them to lock. Maybe this truck will be okay after all.

    Please report back about sous vide ribs. I'm now excited about sous vide ribs, and if you don't deliver a report I'm going to tell IRB, Tanoomba, and lithouse you believe the moon landing was faked.

    Yeah, it's 40 cents a foot or less retail, so the price is all in labour. Shouldn't be too bad. Plus, get the cool manifolds so you can shut off water to different zones. Hella handy.

    grr. I have a 1999 Ford Ranger, just use it to haul shit. It has only 85,000 miles on it, but the brakes were acting up, so I had it in to the shop today. Previous owner did a brake job himself, no idea what he was doing, almost $600 later I've got new brakes. Fucking lot to spend on an older...
