Be strong, DH! I have a similar dilemma. Love my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. AWD with the 6.4L HEMI and the 8-speed trans with paddles and big Brembos. Maybe 11K miles. They're coming out with the Hellcat (supercharged) version of the Jeep called the Trackhawk...ugh. Must......be......strong HS

Ford is doing a 2018 Focus RS special edition with a LSD. If that doesn't knock it out of class in the BS class it will be a total ringer. Dammit I was committed to the ST for 2 more seasons. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Almost missed it here, and it's after midnight there. But hope you had a great day, pet a few cakes and ate a few cats.....or something like that!

Had a craving for some Albanian, jazz classical music while working this morning- Albania on a slow day For Dusty... Dusty like?

EAT. THE FUCKING PIZZA, BOB. OR YOUR CHOICES. ARE GONNA. GET. REEEEEAL LIMITED!

I have a friend with the old TTrs. That 5 cylinder is the real deal. I have contemplated picking up a RS3 when they hit the market.

I got the HV sections and bias up and they work perfectly Here's the board... I've already tested the GRLV boards and they work. I just have to build another set for this supply. The thermals above the IXCY10M90S regulators don't go above 99 deg. F. Very happy with the board so far.

Mmm,.. I love it when these guys compete! This is the first I've heard that the desktop market hasn't withered into nothingness. I'm holding off on upgrading my 6 core Mac Pro until the 2018 models are designed and marketed so the release of these cpu's is music to my ears.

It seems that G3 is tied to the plate on kgsshvtubesandwich while G3 is tied to the cathode on BH and GG. Any particular reason?

that actually looks just like a site of the Russian fencing moms...'jus sayin'

Fuck yes. It's delicious. You dress it after you grill it.

Drive Tribe has a nice set of comparo vids that include the TT RS ...

The new Audi RSTT definitely has my interest. Love the tweaked styling. 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, from a small 5 cylinder. The Jaguar F type SVR, with it's 575 ponies is only .1 second quicker. And love the diamond stitched interior!

If we're doing 1979 I think this has to be next ...

Consider using jumpers (i.e. 2x3 header) instead of the DIP switch to set the I2C address?. It should be a bit smaller and once you set the address I doubt it's going to change, so jumpers should be fine //UFN

So I've installed a 10pf bypass cap. At first the value for offset was way high (like 400V give or take) but after adjusting the batteries it fell back to within normal values. The T2 has been on for at least 5 hours now, and it hasn't misbehaved in that time. I've had to go back and check after hearing some puffs of noise which turned out to be in the recording itself. At the risk of jinxing it, that seems to have worked.

Here are my two bits. I have an offset smoker I had made for me 12 or so years ago by Pitts & Spitts when they were actually worth a shit. Offset firebox where the wood and charcoal go and I have a grate above that fire box should I want to grill over wood/charcoal. I have a propane log starter so it's easy to get going and I had it tapped off of and run to an industrial grade burner under the smoking area grate so the wifey can grill on it. There's a ball valve on one end and I fill the barrel with water up to the point where there's a cut out at the wall of the firebox...this allows more of a moist smoke and an easy drain of the remaining water and fat drippings. It gets the job done and is a true smoker but I had it customized to avoid two boxes behind the house. I thought about having a cold smoker box added on the opposite end of the firebox but I'm glad I didn't. I wouldn't have used it. My rig at the neighborhood Turkey Fry (we fry about 35 turkeys for the folks in the hood and I smoke ribs for everyone, jambalaya by a gent out of New Orleans, taco truck shows up for breakfast...big party). and of course...drinking games Back to the point... The Traeger type units are great in that they're very convenient and require a lot less work. They're basically ovens in many senses vs a true smoker. Nothing wrong with that, it's just a different animal and I certainly see their appeal just like I see the appeal of a Big Green Egg (porcelain smoker/grill that's great for chicken and ribs...fairly small grate IMO)....it's a specialty item that's highly dependent on what you want to cook and how much which is the moral of the story IMO. So I think the key is figuring out if you're going to grill mostly or if you're going to smoke mostly and how much convenience you like. The whole digital, remote temp thing is a game changer and it's wonderful for many as you don't have to mind the fire per se. Not how I cook, but how I smoke is an investment in time and is a lot of work (e.g. a bone-in pork butt of say 8-9lbs is easily a 9-10 hr job when cooking at 225 degrees (aka low and slow). A brisket can be a 12-15 hr affair. Then there's the clean out of the firebox. Can't beat the results if you really like smoked meat though....Texas will do that to one. So my recommendation is figure out how you'll cook and use the item and then if you plan on using it regular and/or keeping it long pay attention to the materials used (e.g. if they don't state what kind of steel they're using I'd be suspect even if it's a $2K unit). My boat anchor weighs about 450lbs and it's held up great uncovered under the eve behind my home. The stainless used is 304 grade. Best of luck and happy smoking... HS

Beatles Sgt Pepper 2014 mono Holy shit did they do a good job on this reissue. Truly is like listening to this for the first time.

Leftover dinner, Frittata, or kinda.

Got the boards back. I should have this tested in the next week or two

Brisket and ribs. Tasty, but I'm sure the Fairy could do better.
