Nice! Gotta get one of those. Might be overkill for the two of us old timers but the leftovers will be worth it.

I certainty don't begrudge those that are getting out of California as that's what Barb and I did. My son and his 5 kids and wife want out so bad they can hardly wait. But kids in school and great jobs have them tied down for a few more years. Where we live it's still only a 20 minute drive to...

I swear I'm starting to see more and more California license plates than Az plates. Traffic here has skyrocketed since we moved here 22 years ago. Every place you look now there are a sea of new homes. Stores are mobbed and at Costco better get there before 9am or forget getting a parking space...

My neighbor just told me that he went to our local U Haul to rent a truck to move his daughter and son in law back to California so the son in law he can finish law school. Guess what, the cost of the rental was zero as it was a one way.

What is this moisture you speak of? I only know of this as ice in my drinks. Does it live in the wild? Here we have a land of dryness which can turn you into a prune if you're outside too long. You speak of pellets, I have many bags of such stored out in a shed and a patio box. Moisture is not...

Still have my early 1985 Gen 2 chocolate Weber gasser that needs to find a new home and a restoration. Appears to be one of the first 2000 built. Free to a good home as I don't have the energy or ability to do any more restorations. Needs wood replaced and other various parts. I would say it's...

I would jump on that too, but not a Sams club member. :(

Again, Barb gets super deals on Safeways store brand Signature pizzas around $2.00 each, we always have a couple in the freezer. We only get the spinach and mushrooms and add our own toppings. Haven't used the kettle pizza attachment on my performer in about 2+ years. Heat up a pizza stone in...

What Barb said. (y)

So did my Dad, he did that walking home from school every day during the depression. Like he said it wasn't much, but every little bit helped in those cold Chicago winters. Even after my dad had our house converted from heating oil to gas I can remember in late December and January and into...

As far as griddles and other trends go, I have owned a Little Griddle for about 4 years and use it with my 98 gen 2000. Use it for the standard variety of things, like smash burgers and occasional breakfast in the summer etc. It's not used a lot but it's there when I want it, it's easy to clean...

Barb and I tried the "eat the freezer game" and, well that ain't going to get it. One 18 cf. stand alone upright freezer along with a fridge freezer in the garage and the house side by side freezer. All of which are stuffed, and we just purchased three bone in hams along with the leftovers from...

Excuse me, I'll be right back I have to go take a few more cholesterol tablets after viewing that beauty!

Nice, very nice! Both look great.

Out of all the Thermoworks things I have the Smoke has been by far the best, zero issues, no drop offs or goofy readings. Had it two years and only one probe has failed and that was my fault. But yes I still have my maverick as a backup.

Happy Easter everyone! Well, it's cold and snowing here right now and windy. Supposed to be a nasty day. So, the ham gets cooked in the oven along with the yam. Going to cook up some asparagus also. Desert will be some homemade Butter horns our neighbor brought over for us.

I am so fortunate to have Barb in my life. With the one surgery for her first hip replacement done and the second coming up in June, then on to the knees, I don't know how she keeps her cheerful disposition, nothing gets her down. Walking through Safeway on Wednesday was an eye opener, as it is...

It sure is nice having a wife in the grocery business. Went to Safeway and cleaned house on our shopping. One free ham plus two more at $.97 lb. Next up was T-bone steaks final price with Barbs employee discount pulse an Easter bonus of $30.00 was $1.72 per steak. The rest of the things we...

Forgot to mention my Smoke in my rant. I've had it for about three years and it's been faultless so far. But my gazillion year old maverick is ready just in case the smoke goes belly up. If the Maverick dies, I have a brand new Maverick still in the box to back that one up. Got Murphy covered...

I'm done with Thermoworks! Went through 4 Big & Loud timers in less than 6 years. Average life was about 2+ years for each one. Then the keypad stopped functioning. Two thermopops and now a third one sitting on my desk dead. Replaced the battery. Nothing. Average service life 2-3 years. I take...
