Actually just picked up this new 18" K Sweet Crash to add to the kit... The deal was hard to pass up. Not sure what is up, but some great deals to be had on various high end cymbals at the moment. I got this guy brand new for over $150 off the typical price. Sounds so good, too... Quick, trashy...

That's interesting to play for 35 years and put down the sticks because it's "complicated". That is a lot of years to practice and get good at it! I've also been playing for about 25 years, give or take. But I still actively play a few times a week, so a few hours of kit time. No band or...

I've been in vine since 2022 or so... Been gold status after the first 6 month and it's been an incredible program for us. To date, we are over 630 reviewed items. The amount of fantastic products we have received is well worth it... Probably 5 or 6 different $40-$60 bottles of imported olive...

Enjoyed these in Prague last week... Pickled Sausages, a pub specialty here from what I researched. Basically a Knockwurst of sorts (pre-cooked type sausage) split and stuffed with peppers/onions and pickled for a few weeks, served with a side of rye. It was phenomenal... (Or so I thought). I...

Currently on a train traveling from Prague to Plzen in the Czech Republic on a short 4 day trip. What a beautiful country! Loving it here... Will be visiting Pilsner Urquell today and doing some underground tunnel tours of Plzen, among some other things.

Started this prime brisket 3 days ago, to be enjoyed for dinner tonight. Kicked it off on Wednesday when I trimmed and added seasoning (salt+pepper), then into the fridge it went overnight. Fired up the offset yesterday morning to ~250F using nothing but hickory... Around 13 hours later, it's...

Tacos! Complete with homemade corn tortillas... So good!

I'm in the same boat with our 2010 Mazda 3... The rust is unreal! Planning to replace in Spring... Until then, its mostly just a to/from the dog park, work once or twice a week (less than 10 miles away) and small errand type vehicle, leaving our Camry for any 'normal' driving. I personally...

Homemade asian/stir fry... Moo Goo Gai Pan sauce, chicken, brocolli, onion, water chestnuts, rice noodles, garlic and ginger.

Finished detailing the Camaro over last two days. Wash, polish, ceramic coat plus wheels/interior/engine bay/etc...

Just finished booking our hotels for our trip to Sweden and Denmark in August! So now everything is done (planes, trains and hotels).

Yesterdays birthday dinner with the parents and girlfriend. Early rise at 5am to start the fire and get it going on the offset, smoked with hickory and oak for 12 hours before resting/cutting. I wish it had a bit more time to rest (over an hour), but everyone was ready to eat! My first brisket...

Pulled pork. Smoked 11 hours over hickory and oak. Delicious!

Have my smoker rollin' and have a pork shoulder on it at the moment. Smoking with hickory and oak.

Italian sausage, olive, banana pepper and jalapeño pizza... With whole milk mozzarella and ricotta.

My buddy ultimately ended up trading it in for some over inflated price, like 16-18K or so. No brainer at that point, but how they paid that much for it is beyond me considering the work it needs. Oh well! He has a Subaru now he loves.

New front stabilizer link for the 2010 Mazda 3 (drivers side). Clunking is now gone. But man, this car probably does not have much longer, the rust is impressive... It is the dog/errand car only, though, so not a huge loss when that day comes. But now I have a failed HVAC solenoid or something...

About to go drive around my Camaro to warm up that 10-qt sump and do the oil change on it... Then later get the tank filled with stabilizer to put it to slumber for the winter months.

Dinner tonight was a Tomato Pie. A two day fermented Sicilian dough, Stanislaus 7/11 tomatoes with a little salt/sugar/chili flake added, topped with fresh garlic, olive oil and Pecorino Romano. Don't get much better. So good.

Since nobody seems to make them in this part of the country, decided to make some buttermilk bars today... Had a few out in California and just loved them, so I suppose I had to make my own. Most of the time around where I live, places might do sour cream donuts at best, but not quite the same...
