Pulled these out of the freezer, will smoke them. Haven’t had the best luck with Chucks, but I keep trying. Open to suggestions 👍🏻

My one experience with a chuckie was okay, but it seemed like it was definitely meant to be pulled apart and the fat discarded, not sliced like brisket. I know some call it poor man's brisket, but I just didn't get that vibe. More like a beef version of a pork butt, but smaller. I will probably smoke one again some time in the future, but with the proper expectations.

I’ll admit I was a fan of their previous albums, especially their first album, but Drive might be my favorite Cars song. This album was the beginning of the end of The Cars. Ric was a talented musician, but he was an odd duck

As an audiophile & a huge proponent of vinyl, I need to chime in. Here is a pic of there first 4 out of 5 LP. These have been remastered from the original tape via Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs on 180G vinyl in Chicago. Most recently their self-titled LP & Candy-O were repressed by Rhino records & have had very favorable reviews. Long live classic rock, I am sorry for the lecture.

Good grief, it's finally over.

Turkey breast halves turned out great. I didn't screw up the grilled marrow bones, but trying to do strip steaks and bread at the same time was a mistake (BIG flames). Cooked 1/2 lb. of bacon and added it to a can of baked beans and completely forgot about them. Dealt with sugared up 7 and 4-year-old grandkids. Things didn't go quite as expected when somebody tried to mess with the Panic button on a car remote, thought for sure the cops would show up. But somehow dinner got on the table in the expected timeframe, although I was dripping by then and had to take a quick laundry room shower to become functional again.

I need a nap. But I'll have that one last beer first.

Excellent amps!
I went with Bryston 4b3

I bet those legacy audio speakers are awesome!!

A very good friend of mine has the Bryston 4b2 amp, I also used to own a pair of the 7b-st mono blocks, but I came across a great deal on the JC1, so I sold the the Bryston. I also have a pair of Legacy Classics in the upstairs rig with a Parasound Hint-6 & a Rega P3 TT. It's hard to beat the Legacy brand for fit , finish & bass in spades.
