Ugly Baby BBQ finished 38 out of 65, but they are #1 in our hearts. This contest had the normal 4-meats, but also had 3 ancillary categories: pasta, turkey, and desert. Because not many teams did pasta, I didn't get selected to judge it, so I just watched to see what got turned in. Lots of...

Dunno. Next time I see Penny Benjamin I'll ask.

Judging another contest tomorrow.

There, see? Just the way a REAL man would do it!

Back in the olden days the townspeople would park their cars along the runway and use their headlights and bonfires. No NOTAMs back then, no sir. Times were hard, but so were the people.

I saw my kids being born.

Tri tip, pico de gallo made with home grown tomatoes, and corn on the cob. Life is good.

I remember my primary CFI had a Rhodesian Ridgeback that would ride along on XC flights when she couldn't get a dog sitter. He was really good abut flying in the Warrior, and it gave students a lot of extra practice in calculating W&B. Those dogs are very dense, solid muscle and heavier than...

I forgot about this: This is actually a thing. Baseball teams put on a "bark in the park" night where you can bring your dog to the game. Sometimes they play a doorbell sound over the PA to get the dogs started.

My instrument CFI suggested https://www.boldmethod.com/ as a decent source of training info and scenarios. Are there any good sites with info for a beginner helicopter student?

I was trying to remember my instrument xc. All the TAFs where I was flight planning were good, even the enroute. I can’t remember the exact circumstances, but the forecast discussion mentioned the potential for wide area pop-up TS. Not enough certainty of when or where to put it in a TAF, but...

I guess I never looked at buying a hotdog as incurring a debt. I figured it was a trade: I hand over cash to someone with a hotdog and a hotdog gets handed over to me. Using a card, phone, or smartwatch could be a debt if it’s tied to a credit card instead of a debit card. But then my debt is...

A friend of mine set his phone ringtone to sound like a bottle cap falling on the floor. Every time his phone would ring his dog would race into the kitchen and start looking around.

I check the discussions, too. There are times where the forecasters have a feeling something is going to happen but they just don’t have enough hard data to justify putting it into the TAF. I modified my instrument XC route when I read a discussion like that. I can’t remember the exact...

Because it’s right there and doesn’t require digging out a card. Especially in the winter around here: pull into the gas station, grab the phone off the wireless charging pad, start to tap the phone, realize it won’t unlock with gloves on (no facial deal on mine), take off glove, unlock phone...

Top round roast. Garlic pepper or some other black pepper based rub. Smoke it until med rare, about 130-135. I can’t remember how long it took, but I’m pretty sure it was less than 2 hrs. Let it cool as much as you want. Then slice it thin for some outstanding roast beef sandwiches. The...

The last time I did ribs I had to work to get them to fit on my WSM.

Life is good.

Looking at your brisket and then looking at what usually gets turned in at a contest and it’s easy to see why contest cooking is different. I often see entries that are even more dark brown than this. Much closer to a roast beef color.

If there’s a way to take your money, they’ll have it.
