I need my me time for sanity. Fortunately my wife doesn't mind if I leave for a few weeks and go do things like that without her she has no interest in it. I've got a lot more vacation than her...I've spent so much time working out of town in the last 25 years that she's used to me being away...

Oh I was going to go tramp around in SEKI in late July -early aug but it just doesn't seem like it's going to be a good time this year. We're now 292% of avg snowpack for this date in southern Sierra.... That's almost three times average..... It's a 98th percentile year now..so far.. And the...

Actually today it's 138% of April 1st in the southern sierra. Here's the fun chart that compares everything back to 1977 showing how much greater this is for this date already then any previous data. Seems highly likely this will end up being one of the top several snow years on record

Most of California's at 100% of the April 1st number already and a southern Sierra which is my area of interest this year...SEKI..is 126%. Yeah, in the South looks to be more than twice the current average for this date. However that average doesn't really exist it's actually all over the...

Wah wah wah .... We don't have any water Wah wah wah... Everything's on fire Wah wah way ... We got too much water Okay don't take it the wrong way I'm being facetious... I'm just pointing out that people are ill prepared for known weather extremes where they choose to live... Even though it...

We usually have it on New Year's, and every year we say we should have this more often.. I really need to keep a list of things like that. It's not like it's hard to make or anything.

Cabbage is one of those things where I forget how good it is when I haven't had it in a while.

I leave the skin on. I spray the grate down with olive oil first. Of course the filets are pretty much oiled down with olive too. 5 min meat side down to add sear marks, it will release from the grill when it's done. Then using tongs pick up and flip over...then...3 min skin down. The...

I got just a plastic bin, dump everything in there

I made a wooden table..... With the intention to put a stainless top on it. And then the stainless price skyrocketed x 2....and it became cheaper to buy a stainless kitchen table, so currently got one of these. You can cut the legs down to make it shorter because it's the right height for food...

Wife and son make some traditional italian cookies by family recipe. One type with anise..... I refer to them as licorice cookies. Not a fan. Another type that are strips of dough tied in knots and deep fried, sprinkled with powdered sugar. They are okay. Not very sweet or anything. Cruschiki...

14 not real practical in a wsm 18. Imo. You can alway keep them in 150° oven indefinitely . Tightly covered pan, or wrapped individually

I got some little silicone things that slip over them. Temperature not a problem then

Cool, we cook chuck roast in a crock pot occasionally, with onion gravy. Brisket actually is a poor man's meat anyway...... 3.49 a pound versus steak at $15 Unless of course you buy SRF, and even then you're only paying $10 a pound.

Kind of a tangent but when they were about 8-9 yo, we got tired of having the parties different places for the kids. We would spend $400 to have a party at a skating rink, laser tag, party place, etc........ So the kids can get $200 worth of cheap crap gifts from the kids that came. The biggest...

Your local barbecue joint probably keeps it in a steam pan with finishing liquid. Which can be a diluted solution of chicken broth or bouillon and barbecue sauce. That's not personally something I want to replicate.

I don't add anything to the burger mix . I make patties out of ground meat, and sprinkle a little seasoning on outside of them. Just like is done for steak.... Primarily salt pepper and garlic. Nothing wrong with salt. And yeah, all seasonings are high in salt. Want to know what I put on the...

I use a full chimney let it get good and hot which means most of the coals are halfway gone by the time you're ready to cook but they are ashed. Do not put Worcestershire on your burgers or in your meat. All you're doing is adding water to them which makes them not char.. in fact it makes them...

Ive cooked 19.5 on my 18". Some of my shortest cooks were biggest briskets....9.5-11 hr. Go figure. Cook at 275, allow enough time. 2-6 hrs in cooler is fine.
