    A barbecue adventure, the saga unfolds.

    This isn't really BBQ, since I used the grill instead of firing up the smoker, but tonight's dinner was blackberry-glazed pork tenderloins, with baked potatoes and bok choi stir fried with garlic, ginger, chopped shallots, soy sauce and sesame oil. I'll be making tenderloins like this...

    The "Back in my day" Thread

    AAA Triptiks! When I was a kid, we never left on a multi-day road trip without first picking up our custom-printed Triptik, and sitting with the AAA travel advisor as he went through page by page and highlighted our route while describing highlights we'd see along the way...

    The "Back in my day" Thread

    Gas was .35 cents/gallon when I started driving in 1974. And it was and still is legal to drive at age 14 in Idaho! Daylight only, back then, couldn't drive after dark until age 16. Party lines. Until I was in Jr. High, one had to pick up the phone and listen for a moment before dialing...

    NA - Need house smoke detectors

    In our last house, we had three smoke detectors in bedrooms off of the second floor landing, and two on the small landing itself (the extra was the only one we added, connected to the SimpliSafe system). Because of the way the house was laid out, all were within a couple of feet of each other...

    [rant] The really bad design thread

    The Imperial system of measurement. Though it probably isn't appropriate to use the word 'design' in describing a system based on the length of a dead king's foot, 3 barleycorns, the weight of a rock, distance a horse can plow in an hour, etc.

    Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated (my airplane is now a go-to image for crash articles)

    I never expected to see 'paparazzi industry' and 'reporting on the facts' in the same sentence... But as for what to request of the AP, I suspect they'd ignore requests to stop using the photo, but may respond to a request to redact the N number and website from the photo, especially if...

    [rant] The really bad design thread

    EVERY attempt at complying with the federal mandate that gas cans be ventless and have some sort of a shutoff mechanism in the spout has resulted in a bad design. Every one

    How to calculate a value for airstrip on my land?

    It certainly has value if it causes loss of use of that land by the landowner, for example, if it is taking acreage out of production. And if the neighbor uses that portion of the runway on the neighbor's property unchallenged for a number of years, in many states they could claim to own it by...

    Is it OK to tell everybody that my dog had puppies?

    ‘If you’re not a liberal when you’re 25, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative by the time you’re 35, you have no brain.’ Often attributed to William Churchill, but apparently he never said it.
