My take on Spanish style huevos con chorizo with Central American chorizo while in Tahoe for ski week. My eggs slipped before my photo opportunity but the flavor was great and the papas fritas were a big hit. Thanks for the inspiration Antonio and Steve.

Lessening the amount of S&P rub on the brisket always reminds me of the first time I used the secret Brisket Fairy ™ recipe. I could only get a dinky little flat at the local market but I used to entire amount meant for 8 or 10lb briskets that Naaman is used to. It had about a quarter inch of crust and intense salt and pepper flavor. We ate it anyway but it did make your heart race a bit. 😝

Hope it's a great ride! Cheers!- Happy Birthday Steve!
Have a great one Steve -- it's gotta be better than last year, anyway! 🤢 Cheers! <---(frosty sugar-free root beers)- Woodworkers of Head Case unite!
Can you avoid rebuilding a whole saw and figuring out how to sell the old one? I'd opt for conversion if it is straightforward- Woodworkers of Head Case unite!
Are you making stops for the Woodpeckers track you put in? Steve found some flip stops from Rockler if you want to check out a fast cheaper option than the Woodpeckers StealthStop I bought (and haven't received yet). I tried my HVLP sprayer for the first time today. Three coats of shellac on the base and drawer faces of my dad's desk. Super easy and smooth once I got the hang of it. Controls for air flow, material flow, spray pattern, and size of pattern takes a little effort to dial in but it was definitely a lot easier than the alternatives. And a much nicer experience than the airless sprayer I tried a couple of times. In less happy news, I learned that the maker of the 8' LED lights I installed wasn't playing around when they said not to daisy chain more than five lights together. I had one string of seven lights that I had originally intended to split up with an extension cord at some point but forgot all about it. Yesterday that group of lights started flickering and went out. Turns out the first one in the chain was melting. 😳 I've now made sure five is the most and might reduce that to four.- Post what you're watching
Alden likes to play parts of that travesty for people because of how god awful it is. 😆- What TV show are you watching now?
Certainly not the best screenwriting in Reacher, but the big giant actor gets more comfortable in the role and we enjoyed the ride, snapped bones and all.- Happy Birthday Jeff!

The Hammer rep recommended Lenox blades as the best available. I bought a couple of TriMaster carbide blades and a bi-metal ¼ for angles and curves. https://www.bandsawbladesdirect.com/- RIP someone or another
It's a little nuts that Maynard G. Krebs is more engrained in my brain than Dobie himself, but I never really watched that show and I watched Gilligan's Island a lot. RIP Dobie. RIP RL-S.- Woodworkers of Head Case unite!
... plus expertise in blending wood. 😳 Or maybe a magic ping pong table could fake it in some way.- And now what did you do TODAY?
I think I remember when you bought that car...- Woodworkers of Head Case unite!
I've never done veneer edge banding, but I imagine it would suck. I'm working on my dad's desk for my brother in LA and I'm edge banding in a different way -- with solid 1" x 1 3/4" walnut around the old top and a new walnut ply top. Having fun with clamps on clamps.- Which Cooking Are You?
I think I'm going to be making some Spanish style huevos con chorizo very soon. 🤤- Blackwater - 1

It ain't so! Howard Hesseman played Dr, Johnny Fever while Richard Sanders played Less, and he is alive and well. That said, RIP Dr. Fever.- Woodworkers of Head Case unite!
I got intrigued by the Woodpeckers StealthStop, which should arrive soon. Embedded track with rulers and stops that flip up and have micro-adjust. Not using the optional fence portion as Steve mentioned.- Which Cooking Are You?
Four pizza night: Shitake, leek, thyme, gruyere and fresh mozzarella Pesto mozzarella Detroit style -- one with pepperoni and one with Spanish chorizo and both with Jack / Colby- Woodworkers of Head Case unite!
There are no panels. It's carved to look like rails and stiles and panels but I think it is one piece cut up on the magic ping pong table - Happy Birthday Colin!
