blunc Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 they will have to pry the bacon out of my cold dead hands!
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 If you're a steak guy, you need to go to Food Lion and pick up some Ribeyes marinated in Montreal season. They come in a pack of two, and there's no blood in them, it's all marinade, so there's no need to over cook them. I cut out pork pretty much completely, and my blood pressure reflects that.......... To be really safe, ANY meat needs to go to at least 160 F INTERNALLY. Eating rare beef is a little risky, but it's a risk I'm willing to take...and it's the only meat or fish I eat too raw...except for the occasional sushi. That said, the notion that pork, per se, causes high blood pressure, is one of those often repeated and mostly incorrect ideas. http://www.livestrong.com/article/492293-does-eating-pork-cause-high-blood-pressure/
Rob Hall Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 I always order steak medium. Not a fan of rare.
crazyjim Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 I want my filet mignon butterflied and well done. Carrabba's does a wonderful job on one.
Rob Hall Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 Whilst tracking the status of my HLJ shipment on the FedEx site, noticed the red-letter warning 'FedEx is closely monitoring the potential effects of the solar eclipse'. Not sure how the eclipse would effect package shipment.
High octane Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 I always order steak medium. Not a fan of rare. Ditto!
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 ... 'FedEx is closely monitoring the potential effects of the solar eclipse'. Not sure how the eclipse would effect package shipment. Maybe everybody is outside watching instead of loading trucks and sitting at computer terminals...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 I always order steak medium. Not a fan of rare. Maybe it's my little bit of Klingon blood that makes me like some meat at just-killed temperature, and bloody.
crazyjim Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 I had to go up to the VA today and finished my appointment ahead of schedule because the physical therapist wanted to see the eclipse. I followed her outside and she let me barrow her eclipse glasses. So I saw a crescent. Big deal. Sure wasn't worth waiting 100 years.
oldnslow Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Jim !Where's your sense of adventure at the awe and beauty of Mother Nature ?Yeah , I thought it was a load of carp (can't type the bad word) too , all the hoopla , the news here was on for 4 hours about the eclipse and it was cloudy and raining .

espo Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Maybe it's my little bit of Klingon blood that makes me like some meat at just-killed temperature, and bloody. In a restaurant I tell the waiter that the chief should chase the cow twice around the kitchen and it will be just right.

High octane Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Looks like you had a great time, and the photos of that beautiful country are just awesome. Glad to hear that you're off the smokes as that is a VERY wise choice. I made that choice back in '84, and if I didn't I doubt if I would be here today.

KWT Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Over the last several weeks, I've been hitting some kits with primer and trying to decide on color. Rather than buy new and different colors, I decided to use some cans that I've had sitting around for a couple years...fast forward...The weather was fantastic here today... cool, sun, no humidity.. told everyone I'd be outta pocket doing around the house, yard work, etc. But the bug hit. I decided to use the day to shoot some color on some things to build for the winter, while the weather was rattle can worthy. I ended up with 11 cars getting color coated today, 3 still in primer, and 2 have just been washed. I still have to paint all the rest of the pieces. And have to clear all the painted bodies, but that'll be awhile. Gonna try to hit the 3 primered with color tomorrow, hopefully... Girlfriend is gonna kill me when she comes over and see's I didn't do anything except get the yard mowed..lol. Edited September 10, 2017 by KWT

We'll see??? Just tell your girl friend that you saved some work for her in case she wanted to "pitch in." LOL!

russosborne Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Yay. Got the call today that I start my new job Monday.Finally. I had just about given up on it.Russ
landman Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 On a whim, I emailed the shop of a man who I used to know 35 years or so ago. We were members of the same old car club and had traded several models. His son responded, saying his dad had passed and they still had several models and he offered them to me since some of them might have been built by me. How about that?
cobraman Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Woo Whoo didn't even hit 100 today ! Is summer coming to an end here ?
