Baby back ribs and baked beans on the pellet grill. Both turned out good. Still learning how to BBQ 'correctly,' but they were good. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Groot (cat) wondering why no one is letting her in. Mabel(dog) doing her 'shoelace' thing while watching us eat. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

First time making smoked salmon. Brown sugar/salt cure for ~4 hours yesterday, rinse and let air out in fridge overnight, smoked for about 3hrs today at 180F with extra smoke tube. Turned out pretty good. The picture with the cans is to press down on the fish during the cure. Sent from my...

I wouldn't say it's beefy, she was sagging quite bad. Pretty sure it was over payload limits, but don't tell anyone. If it was more than just a few miles on city streets, I would have had them delivered or rented a truck, but I'm too cheap for that and it was a spur of the moment purchase.

Yup. 40 16x16 pavers, each weigh 40lbs. I didn't dawn on me how many and much weight until I started loading them. Then, I had to take them out as well, so I lifted 3200lbs. I don't know why I'm sore today. [emoji3] Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Yesterday I moved 1600lbs of patio blocks to expand my grilling area. Its just a small area cornered by the porch, garage and fence. Was just wasted space, but now I can put my grills (gas and pellet) there. Edge was riding low for the 3 mile drive. Also, tilled the back yard in prep for new...

This was last weekend. Pulled transmission out of my Mustang and tore it down for rebuild. Just waiting on parts now. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Nice job as usual. Those 993 (95-98) Turbos are bad-a$$. I remember when the 95 came out and reading that if you do a clutch dump to launch, you shift out of first gear in about 1 second.

This is what I see for above post. Is it upside down for anyone else. [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Rinseless washes for the SUV's. Also photo bombing the picture "not detail related", I fired up my new pellet grill for the first time. I've never used anything other than a gas grill, so something new to learn (been on my list for a while). I plan to try it out tomorrow with chicken and/or...

Yup. I know good ski deals are out there and I'm sure boots are similar. I'll probably end up with new boots and some used demo skis. There's a ski shop about a mile from my work that fits some of the worlds best skiers before they became really famous (Lindsay Vonn, Paula Moltzan). I might hit...

Usually I keep them on until end of March, but it's been warm springs lately. This time of the year is always 'iffy' for snow. If we get snow, it's usually gone (at least on roads) within 24hrs. Funny enough, I took the winter set off last weekend and we got 6"+ of snow on Wednesday morning...

Yesterday went skiing at Spirit Mountain in Duluth,MN with my wife and daughter. Morning was decent, afternoon got warm (50f) and slopes were slushy. I almost face planed a couple times because my skis 'stuck' to the snow, but my upper body kept moving. Still a good time. Note: rental boots...

Washed winter wheel/tires and retired them for the season. I didn't feel like dragging out the hose yet since the back yard is a mud pit, so I used a pump sprayer with water and the remaining Meguiars wheel cleaner. Only used about 3 gallons of water. Saving the planet, 3 gallons at a time....I...

Winter's back. Was 50 on Monday, 6+ inches of snow this morning and still snowing. Looking at the work parking lot, they must have plowed hours ago because there's a good 3"+ on the ground.

It's high school hockey tournament time, which also means spring winter storm.

Cat found the box. Dog has the couch and blankets.

Last Monday the high temp was -3F. Currently +53F. I watched my daughter's last alpine ski race yesterday and it was about 50F. A fellow dad made the comment that this season there was a 70F temperature swing between their coldest and warmest races.

It was -17F when I got to work this morning in suburb of Minneapolis. My unheated and detached garage was about 14F, so wasn't terrible getting into the car. Supposed to be one more really cold night (-10F or colder) and then the heat wave begins, supposed to be close to 40F on Sunday.

Being in Minneapolis, we've been missed by most of the big snows. I think last weekend was our biggest snow of the season with less than 4". Right now we need to get through this cold snap (again). Up to 7F right now and tomorrow is supposed to be the same. I heard rumors of potential snow...
