Run a commercial vineyard growing a French Bordeaux grape, and astronomy.

As I understand it, Kamado is a ceramic construct. What I do know is that they hold moisture and heat much better than a Weber or other grills designed for short, kinda hot cooking. My Primo will go for 15 hours on a not full load of lump, and whatever I cook will retain moisture far better than an indoor oven, and certainly better than any Weber, but that's using the DigiQ to control temp, which is does to the degree. If all that's needed is to cook the basics, a Weber is fine. If you want to do pulled pork, brisket or chicken/turkey low and slow, or anything really fast and really hot, like pizza, a Komado is the way to go, and as they say on the Nakid Whiz, (a Komado site), if you use briquettes, the terrorists have won.

Great day for Bills rookies. During a water break, Ed Oliver cured cancer and Cody Ford launched a rocket to Mars. Don't believe fan opinions of the value of these things. They are HUGE.

But BBQ'ing does.

We have two. The Mrs. uses the Weber for simple stuff, like hamburgers. I use the Primo XL, a high quality, US made Kamado. Lump charcoal only. Briquettes are full of glue to bind. That's the crap that's left over when they burn out. I use a DigiQ controller for temp control, which is critical on low/slow cooks, and for anything I really care about. For pizza, I just open everything up and let it get to about 500.

Sure you can. This industry doesn't tolerate it. If her union has a standard contract, she will probably be sent to rehab, but in this industry you can absolutely be fired for showing up drunk.

Because almost all of the passengers on that flight didn't originate in Chicago, they started somewhere else and connected through there. That's how a hub and spoke system works.

Nope.

Jet lag? She is an Air Wisconsin flight attendant, working for a United contractor who goes nowhere outside the US, and rarely out of the central area.

I thought Wood was really good. Great timing. Great observations. I thought Kelso was always a bit too descriptive, rushing to get too much information in. I was very impressed.

Sep 22, 1963. Bills vs Kansas City Chiefs. Tied, 27-27. We sat behind KC wide receiver Chris Burford's parents.

That is Mosaic law and only applied to Jews. Not relevant to anyone else, anymore than blood sacrifice or various diet rules. The "love your neighbor" still applies though.

I dislike look at me stuff, but I sat to him on a Miami to DC flight a number of years ago, and talked about the absolute domination the Dolphins had on us during those years, and OJ's expressed view that he was the best linebacker he faced. Nice guy, very small. Stature wise, nothing like what you see from LB's now. Just a really smart player who knew where to be.

Kiko Alonso, but only when he played for us.

Meth lab. Make it count.

I have a commercial vineyard, and they landed about 200' from it, so the last thing I need is wine. Good guys. Good time.

I have a larger piece of land, so there's some distance to my "neighbors," but you never know what can happen. Yesterday morning about 7:40, my wife and I were watching the news and the doorbell rings. I open the door and this guy asks me if they can land their balloon on my property. I've seen them many times in the past, and I always hoped they would land here so I said sure. This huge hot air balloon is about five feet in the air and about fifty feet from my house. Anyway, they land the thing and the customers get out of the basket and I am conversing with the pilot and owner about my aviation stuff, and he offers the wife and I a quick lift, which I of course, am interested in. We go up to about eighty feet, tethered, so we don't drift, and the come down. Really an interesting way to start the day, and we had a great time with them. Here's the balloon Boar's Head Balloon

Not tilting amigo. There are just some things that are common belief that have not been thought out.

A carrier battle group would not be used as an escort. That area is too narrow for carrier ops. We never even flew into the Strait of Hormuz, because even turning around came too close to violating other's airspace, and certainly were never used as an escort. A carrier needs room. It would sit in the Gulf of Oman and be ready to "project" if called upon.

If a Naval officer got "busted in rank," his career would be effectively over. Two stars don't talk to Captains like that. It's just silly., and O6's don't have regular operational flying jobs. I especially like the way the F-18 engines are in full burner and after that they show him selecting that throttle position. Things a bit out of order

I'm a Primo XL guy, with a DigiQ temp controller. Been workin' for me for years.

I'll sell you a '64 for 40k, just to get your collection started.

The "no star" issue explained. https://curiosity.com/topics/why-arent-there-stars-in-the-moon-landing-photos-curiosity/ By the way, ever notice the pictures of earth from space don't have visible stars either? Same reason.

The flag from Apollo 11 was most likely blown down when the LM launched from the moon. By the way, it looks the way id did because of its design. Take a square of aluminum foil. f\Fold it up. Then unfold it an see what it looks like. Knowing this, they intentionally placed flags from subsequent landings further from the LM. To your question, I'm not aware of pics from high powered scopes on earth, but subsequent lunar orbit vehicles have taken pics of the stuff left behind on the surface. One interesting thing I learned ;last year. One of the missions was near an older probe of some sort, and NASA had an astronaut take a smear and bag it. When it was examined back on earth it had living biologic material on it. The "stuff" had survived the wicked moon environment and was alive. Ever cautious, the US always ensures its stuff is vaporized of otherwise destroyed to prevent placing living stuff on other celestial bodies. Other countries do not.

End this "fake" nonsense. It wasn't faked, nor were the the following missions that landed and returned.
