LewPort71 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Take new Outback to dealership for 2 week checkup. The dealership has a 'product specialist' whose job is to review operations of the new vehicle after you have driven it for two weeks. Answer questions and all that. (side note. new vehicles have toooooo much 'stuff' on them) Champions League finals on Sat. Then grill time. Party at the local micro-brewery a friend of mine owns. Sun and Monday golf in the AM...

BringBackFergy Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I just passed a Fire Department one town over and their sign outside read “Remember a Veteran this weekend”. Seems awfully warm for November round these parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hubby's putting up a garden shed for me (I finished planting today) and then painting the kitchen Monday. Sunday is our anniversary so we will go out to dinner (no big plans as many restaurants are closed for the holiday)! Everyone have a safe and happy holiday weekend. ?

Augie Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Tomorrow we will take our 4 year old grandson next door where the neighbors will have their grandkids. I will take apple juice boxes and a big grape bottle (a/k/a wine). Plan to hit Costco to maybe get some prawns to grill and make a remoulade.

Gugny Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Need to prepare around the lamp post for flowers; till the garden and get it ready to plant. Get some potting and garden soil, as well as some flowers. That'll be my morning. Smoking ribs - I'll get them in the smoker at around noon. Grilling burgs, dogs, sausages and crab cakes around the time the ribs are done. Fire in the evening with acoustic guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway..do you dry rub your ribs the night before smoking? I use a old friends recipe from a gal i knew from the bayou of Louisiana..Miss Billie Bon...she passed about a half decade ago....anyway,she turned me on to a vinegar and dry rub overnight in the fridge...low oven at 250 for about 1 hour.....then smoke/grill with hickory and apple chips. I continue to try new sauces...the plastic bottle store bought chain types don't get my buds hyped anymore...usually get a couple pints from Kentucky Greg's (tomato base). Enjoy the next few days...you deserve it! Peace. 1 minute ago, Boyst62 said: He cancelled 2 shows a few months ago with the flu He came out once.

I'll apply salt to the ribs 2 hours prior to putting the rub on and smoking. This is my first go with ribs. I've gotten great advice from @CountryCletus, @BringBackFergy and @Cripple Creek.

She stands in waist deep water and methodically moves the vacuum back and forth. And she HATES house cleaning. I don’t get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulDuke79 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Finally done with all of the chores. Mowing done and removed a bush from one of the flower beds this morning. Have some pork chops marinating and a steak seasoning for later. Taking in the Indy 500 now before going out to grab a beer with a buddy, who seems to be going through some weird stuff recently. 26 minutes ago, Misterbluesky said: I've been in ours just a few times in the past 5 or so years..my wife likes to lay on a raft and get a suntan..she won't touch the water if it's in the low 80's..,so my heating bill in the summer months is silly high.Happy wife= Happy life.

Augie Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 About to throw the shrimp on the grill. Two minutes per side for these U-15 edibles. Let them cool then I’ll peel and chill to take to neighbors tonight. Made a strange remoulade that has no mayo, but plenty of zip. I miss having a pool, but we had a pool service in Florida. It’s a big business there. When we bought our last house there I went back trough the previous 50 sales in the neighborhood, and 48 had pools. We, of course, added a pool to ours. Seller wanted us to pay by SF as though she had a pool. I straightened her out. I’m too ashamed to say how much that pool/spa/cage cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the pool daily, especially since pool season is only like 8 weeks in NH. Long story why but I let the pool sit untreated for too long and I would up with a massive algae bloom. I know how to treat it but it's a pain in the rear because you have to take the filter apart once, if not twice, to unclog all the dead algae.

We (and by we, I mean my wife) are big believers in a lot of chlorine and fungicide. We occasionally get a green tint, but never an algae bloom. However, this year I may have to replace the lever for the valves on top of the filter mechanism. The lever is hard to move and leaks. Not looking forward to it.

Not looking forward to it. Our last pool in Florida was salt water. It was AWESOME! I’m glad we had a husband/wife team to take care of it....and it was NOT us. It was about $80/month and worth every penny. My buddy tried to do his own pool once, and it was a disaster. Have to know what you’re doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
