Happy Birthday, Ric!!

Spent an hour and a half scraping ice off of the driveway after the storm late last week. Now we're forecast to get 6" to 9" as a Christmas gift which wouldn't be so bad if we weren't supposed to travel tomorrow afternoon. Here's to hoping it's over by noon, as predicted.

Happy Birthday, Ken!

I think you're both basically right. I don't think dual TRS is the goal and Al is correct, those are Neutrik combo jacks that allow for both TRS plugs and 3-pin XLRs. The front panel says L/SE and R/SE below those two jacks. And the 4-pin XLR jack is labeled balanced.

This.

The brisket fairy says salt and pepper only, plus some fanciness with spraying it down every hour while cooking. Helps to develop a nice bark. I usually use brown sugar rubs on ribs.

Rub or no rub? From the look of that cut I would have trimmed quite a bit more fat off the top.

That thing is seriously sweet, Jeff.

Chili has been in the crockpot for 8hrs, just whipped up a batch of cast iron skillet corn bread to accompany it shortly.

Breakfast.

Time for one-pan breakfast. First sausage Then pohtaytoes Then eggs, with sausage mixed in

Something tells me that they treat you a little differently than they treat customers with a less established or consistent ordering history. Back when I used to regularly order they'd get stuff out on the same day if I ordered in the morning (EST) and rarely it would take until the next business day.

Revisited an old favorite tonight - baked enchiladas w/ homemade verde sauce.

Looks similar in parts of New England this morning. We got around 5" which normally wouldn't be any big deal. But my tractor is in for service which means I get to shovel the 150' driveway by hand.

No R1200RS love, Jeff? If you're not hitting any dirt I don't get the appeal of an adventure bike since, as you noted, they tend to be overly tall. I assumed since that was the vein you appeared to be going down that you wanted/needed the suspension travel. But if pavement-only works, I'd revisit both BMW and maybe even Ducati. There are probably others to look at and ride, but I generally lust hardest for those two unless you've got a local Aprilia dealer...

And so it begins...

Excellent news, Jacob!

Happy Birthday Todd!

This!

In case this is happening to anyone else - it has plagued my wife for the last day - the only fix to the "my iphone now reboots every 30 seconds" is to update to 11.2. I'm amazed that this bug made it into the production version of a previous update...

^^ This. A very happy birthday to you, Gene.

Was consumed at Smartmouth Brewery so, had beer.

Finally got home after a long day. Dinner was unplanned and spectacular courtesy of a local food truck that happened to be on the route back to the hotel. Carne Asada Tater Tots Shredded Pork Panini All thanks to this place, which aptly described my mood at the time.
