RIP someone or another
If you are interested in nuclear insanity, I strongly recommend The Head Hand. https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Hand-Untold-Dangerous-Legacy/dp/0307387844

What are you Grilling now?
Veggie dogs and vegan burger patties for everybody!

Maybe I should have a cheat day and fire up the Weber, while the weather is still nice.

Watches
Well, my GMT has started running -20 sec/day. It was running -2, previously.. It's not magnetized (I had it demagnetized at a local jeweler I trust, who has a real demagnetizer, and not the $20 Chinese one I have), and it hasn't been knocked, or dropped, or abused in any other way. I guess it goes back to California. The service was warrantied, and I'm absolutely sure it will be taken care of, but I'm having some bad watch luck, of late.

What are you listening to Part the Third
It's really excellent, for sure.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that. I think GGG won 7 rounds. It was as great fight, though.

Which Cooking Are You?
I take it you've never used a wok to deep fry, then, as there is very little. The shape of the wok, and the seasoning on a good carbon wok, means that you use very little oil, it doesn't splatter outside of the wok, and the oil slides right out when you're done. I take it that you don't like wings at restaurants, then.

What a legend.

Which Cooking Are You?
If I were cooking wings in a wok, I'd deep fry. It's the perfect fry vessel.

What are you EATING right now?
I love seeing a burger on an English muffin! That's what every burger my father made (and my dad made a lot of burgers) was seated in between.

What are you EATING right now?
That's good to know, thank you. It might come in handy, if I'm ever out that way.

What are you EATING right now?
Do they make it the opposite way, with regular buns and lots of lettuce and pickles and tomatoes and cheese in the middle?

What are you smoking right now?
I think this might be the first time I've really smoked the autograph (I think I've smoked a few partials). Man, it's a good smoker (cool, perfect draw, complex flavor, stays lit, dry to the bottom of the bowl), and this aged Old Dublin is very nice.
-
What are you smoking right now?
Not quite yet, but in a few minutes I'll be smoking some Peterson Old Dublin that has been aging for about a decade in my humidor (and boy does it smell good!) out of my Savinelli Autograph. I sure miss all those pipes that were stolen, but I guess I smoke a pipe infrequently enough that it's not a big deal, one way or another (I still have a very nice Parker and another Savinelli, from the 60s).

Noise canceling headphones for portable DVD player
voices, unlike continuous background-noise, are intermittent sounds of short individual duration, so there isn't much time for the noise-cancelling to do its job with them.

Equifax Data Breach affects 143 milion people!
That's just because Bubba J. Test, social security number 111223456 was part of the hack.

I hope the executives who sold shares before the announcement are prosecuted.

And now what did you do TODAY?
As of today, forever after, I will save myself $10 per jacket taken-in, as I have figured out how to correctly redo the vent overlap and crease, so that the vent flaps lie correctly. It takes all of maybe 5 minutes, and that includes the time it takes the iron to heat up. I totally understand why it's not included in having a jacket taken-in (and, I'd assume, let-out; the issue is probably the same, just opposite), as it's a nice little profit center. Of course, that $20 includes a full press and crease, but I have a good steamer and iron, so the vent work was what I was really paying for.

What are you Grilling now?
Maybe go with thrice baked potatoes, next time.

The State of DACSES
Assuming that the screws in the baseplate were holding something down that would otherwise vibrate, you may just be able to wedge something under said component, depending on what it is.
