Got in the mood for some burgers and fries. After two stores and an hour and a half shopping, I didn't feel like it last night, so amazing lunch it is. May as well do it right. Boar's Head yellow cheddar Boar's Head white cheddar Halfway through the 6oz (exactly) S-V/125°/cast iron seared burger, I realized I wish I could still eat a ton, because I wanted that spare one i made. Zoë thought the ~fries were good, but not as good as my mom's. Not bad praise from a teenage girl, especially as she's more of a fry-in-the-oven than a peanut-oil-in-fryer kinda gal. Xavier loved them and the burger, which is awesome. For a first time sous-vide cook, I'm super happy with it. The fries wound up being a lot better than the usual frozen fair and weight wise, even the organic is a hair cheaper than the frozen stuff we usually get, and those can be prepped while fryer is warming up. Great use of 2+ hours today. Now it's nap time. **BRENT** Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

I implore a mod to grant this name to Zach! It's the right thing to do!

We actually had 4 total, so there is just a lopsided one out there somewhere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mr. Norbert Schemansky. You sound like you were the man. "What Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis are to boxing, what John Grimek and Arnold Schwarzenegger mean to bodybuilding, and what Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky represent in hockey, Norbert Schemansky is to Olympic weight lifting." http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/09/10/sports/norbert-schemansky-dead.html

It seems like you're doing some things wrong if it takes you four hours to shop for and prepare a few burgers and fries, but the results look tasty. With apologies to the Brisket Fairy @naamanf, I made a mini brisket yesterday with less than stellar results. I found a brisket nubbin to smoke but it was really too small and I didn't start early enough to really match the proper Brisket Fairy method to a TV. The texture didn't achieve greatness and it was too dry in the thicker and less fatty parts. Anyway, here are the results from last night's dinner. The first shot was just before wrapping in the magic pink paper and the second just after. The wrapped package sat in a cooler for 45 minutes or so until slicing.

That is far more appealing than what I imagined from reading the words only in the unread content list. A bialy with salmon roe on top seemed hideous to me. :/

As opposed to domestic

I think pipe smoking must be more popular in this part of Germany

Somewhere there's a king crab with 7 legs and a crutch.

A belated groovalicious bumpitude!

I have access to a few thousand NOS Toshiba 2sj103, 2sk373, 2sk709, 2sj104, 2sk30, 2sk170, 2sj74 fets, if any of you guys need some or bulk feel free to send me a PM. Also have a supplier from Japan who can supply 2sj109 GR's. I know Kevin will never let his stock go :). I'm trying hard to also obtain the harder to get for the T2 build 2sk389's fets.

Where are our manners? .... JH-13!

If you're going to use Tidal HiFi on a Walkman, it'd be worth it to invest in a box of metal bias casettes. Get a well known, high quality brand, like Maxwell. Much better sound, especially in the highs and the dynamic range; as Tidal HiFi is CD quality resolution, you're certain to hear the difference. Oh, and be sure to have the Doubly turned on. Tape hiss is almost inaudible that way.

Nailed it.

Falling into thorn bushes like you taught him probably affected his time.

Xavier finishing his first ever Time Trial. He came in last in the junior division, but he was the only kid in Chattanooga to even compete. 7 kids in his age group (9-12) and the other 6 were split evenly between two teams which came from at least 2 hours away, and almost every kid had Zipp 303, 404, or 808s... but one had some deeper-than-808 Reynolds wheels. We went out on a ride with a septuagenarian friend of mine about 2 hours after this pic was taken, and we got in an hour ride. When we were packing up after that ride, he told me "I forgot how much I love riding!" <3 **BRENT**
