    The government is now your parent!

    If the government wants to be my parent, I'd rather be an orphan. I spent 40+ years in the energy business and one thing I did discover: most bureaucrats don't have a clue what it's all about!!!

    Beer can chicken

    Not being a metalurgist, I can't actually address the dangers one way or the other, but my understanding is that to use galvanized you need to burn off whatever it is that's dangerous. We've been doing it a while and no one has had any adverse reaction (yet). Set up is simple (has to be for...

    Beer can chicken

    Is the main reason for the beer can moisture not flavoring? I've been doing turkey in a small garbage can, (10-12 gal ? - one never used for its intended purpose) and a 15# bird is done in +/- 2 1/2 hrs and is exceptionally moist and juicy. No reason a chicken couldn't be done the same way...

    Saw it. Not exactly what I want (too short & wide) but it does present some possibilities. For my 1st ever build tho, I prefer to have a real set of plans in hand. Would like to do something +/-15', 30-32" @ widest point with maybe a little tumblehome. Like the dacron idea better than the...

    Easy home made Mac an Cheese dish.

    Pretty much the same as mine 'cept I beat an egg into the milk (it's what Mom did) and add a 1/2 cup +/- of good romano or parmesan. I like it with the sharpest cheddar I can find but Grandma prefers mild . Any guesses as to which get used most :oops: ? Would you believe my munchins actually...

    SOF help

    I did check the Black Dog site and all I saw was Kayaks. As usual, I found Google next to worthless. I spent hours sorting thru junk. The only useful info I found sent me back to Geodesic. Most were yak related or trying to sell me a how to book or sign up for a class. A few chronicled...

    Florida Caverns State Park, Marianna Florida Apr 2009

    Another of the many good reasons I don't wanna live in the deep south. Now, as for frostbite, rarely does it kill anyone; may lose an appendage, but not suffer the aforementioned agonies or die. Most of the frostbite cases I'm familiar with (I work winters at a ski area) are due to...
