Been doing a lot of grilling lately. No kitchen due to complete remodel. Slow cooking short ribs tonight. Almost two hours into it now, nearly ready.

Hmm, that gives me an idea. BBQ sauce with sunscreen. Can't be too careful, don't want my pig on a spit getting skin cancer.

Oh my God!!!!! I had no idea 55 gallon drums caused cancer!

Split 55 Gal drums, redneck style. When I was a kid, we hired a (not from NJ) guy who would roast two 30ish pound pigs for us when we had our big annual pool party. I swear he went through 10 bags of charcoal he made himself. he'd arrive at 7a.m and slow cooked the pigs 8 or 9 hours.

If'n yer gonna put pineapple on meat, it may as well be pork. They go together like, pineapple and pork, which it turns out, is a pretty good combo.

So, now we know who. The anti-2A gang was not getting what they wanted, because the law is on SDW's side, so the anti gun libtards hired a lawyer to try and catch them on technicalities. It started out as a noise issue, but the sound level was far below 85db in noise codes. The they tried to make it a safety issue, but the range complies with all safety regs. Then they said LE can go train somewhere else far far away, and that LE should not be training there anyway, so now we know they are anti LE.

They don't want to upset the Fudds in the 30 and over age group. If Dear Leader Beaverpuss made the Fudds get new FPIDs that had to be renewed, THAT would get the Fudds off their apathetic asses.

Don't do it.

Technology is great, it helps us do some things more efficiently, faster, sometimes even smarter. There is one thing that technology can't do, and that's exactly replicate something natural. Cooking meat over a fire fueled by charcoal or firewood is they way it's been done for over 230,000 years. In spite of superior technology, crockpot cannot replicate ribs slow cooked over coals or in a smoker. If you want to cook ribs "smarter", then go on and use that crockpot. They will come out tender and tasting like BBQ sauce, probably pretty tasty too. But they won't come close to smoked or slow cooked over coals. For real BBQ ribs, there is no better way, because there is only one way. I guess I may try the crockpot in the winter. I tried a pressure cooker a few times, that's really fast (and one time a little scary).

Ummm... Isn't this a group event?

I need recommendations for a kitchen design and install contractor in Monmouth county. The guy I was working with seems to have flaked on me. We are doing a complete kitchen remodel, and the jackwagon contractor bailed on me after I tore down the entire kitchen.

The Kind Barber A priest walked into a barber shop in Washington, D.C. After he got his haircut, he asked how much it would be. The barber said, "No charge. I consider it a service to the Lord." The next morning, the barber came to work and there were 12 prayer books and a thank you note from the priest in front of the door. Later that day, a police officer came in and got his hair cut. He then asked how much it was. The barber said, "No charge. I consider it a service to the community." The next morning, he came to work and there were a dozen donuts and a thank you note from the police officer. Then, a Democrat Senator came in and got a haircut. When he was done he asked how much it was. The barber said, "No charge. I consider it a service to the country." The next morning, the barber came to work and there were 12 Democrats at the front door.

Pinions, maybe?

Unfortunately, I'll be driving a wrecking bar. My kitchen remodel hit a snag and I won't be able to go tomorrow. Maybe Friday if we get back on schedule.

SCOTUS is being a Glock tease.

This is all I could find, which has no useful info. The best I can tell, it is still "in conference" as it is the most recent status I could find. https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/052819zor_2dq3.pdf

I'll probably be there this Wed.

My boss used to mock me for using a respirator whenever I spray. He has cancer, I don't (at least not yet) have cancer. He now uses a respirator and no longer mocks me.

Erm... I don't think growing christmas trees and flowers is actually all that dangerous. I guess if you whack your foot with a spade when you B&B a shrub, that could hurt a little.

All dogs are liberals. They depend on others for everything, will hump anything, including a leg, and if allowed to run wild in packs, will attack just for fun.

Well, Newfoundland is an Canadian province, sooooo....

Poo and urine have been mother natures fertilizers since the beginning of time. Asians have been shitting and whizzing in the rice paddies for centuries. There was a time when urinals flushed to holding tanks to reclaim the ammonium nitrate. During the age of discovery, chemists figured out how to synthesize ammonium nitrate and caused an explosion in agriculture, they also discovered how to create explosives from the nitrogen compounds. The only problem with human waste is cooties like e.coli and other not so great organisms. Modern processes sterilize human and animal waste byproducts, or at least they are supposed to, and turn them into safe products.

Goosegrass is an annual, just like crabgrass. If you are using pre-emergant crabgrass and weed control, you are already treating for it. However, if the treatment is not working, you may not have goosegrass, but have quackgrass. They share similar traits in the way they look. The way to distinguish between the two is the root system. If it has a sprawling root system that runs along the ground, then it's quackgrass. Goosegrass has a single cluster root system (like regular grass), whereas quackgrass spreads with rhizomes. Quackgrass is far more difficult to get rid of because it's a perennial, and can not be controlled with a pre-emergant or 2-4-D. There will be some collateral damage in eradicating quackgrass. Kill quackgrass by sponging or brushing Roundup on the plant. Hopefully what you have is goosegrass, because quackgrass is a mofo to get rid of.

According to the Lowe's website, this product is a slow release fertilizer that lasts up to 3 months. If you put it down a month ago, it should be good for another two months. We have had a lot of rain though so maybe in another month you will be ready for another fertilizer application. Here's the problem. If your next scheduled application falls just before the hot (and dry) summer months, you risk burning out your lawn. If you have an irrigation system, then your risk of burnout is lower. If you want to play it safe, use an organic fertilizer.

When did you do the first application and what did you put down?
