kyle You’re so right. My children are in their 50’s. Yep, I’ll disappear but the Dad stories they brag about will be with them for a long time to come. Never too late to do something special with or for them. You get old too soon and smart too late.

@ndmike When I think back On all the c-r-a-p I learned in high school It’s a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of education Hasn’t hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall… Reminds me of a song past Paul Simon 1968

GWG8541 There are two ways to win an argument with your wife… Neither one works😎

Just an old man’s breakfast Angus prime, eggs and hash browns. A few pics of my collectables. 3lt Crown on the left.

Sunday afternoon grill. Bockwurst, Bratwurst, and Polish sausage. All were stuffed and Vac frozen months ago. Tried SV today, 140*, 4hrs, started frozen. Poached great, 5 min on the super hot grill. Great taste. This is how i will be poaching my Hotdogs, and Brats, after vac packing before freezing in the future. Little runt sausages are for the BBQ watching dog

30lbs of Beef bulgogi: literally “fire meat”, a gui made of thin, marinated slices of beef and veggies. A few lbs will end up on my griddle today. The rest will be frozen in 4lb packs.

Bob Stehlik 68-69 tet and 4 more, nobody talked about much or was reported. Started with the M-14 but i really liked the Blooper, M-79 grenade launcher. 5 Bronze stars on the Vietnam Service Medal. Was told to change it to a cluster but i never did

processhead Unfortunately social media has turned into a sewer pipe. I won’t be a part of it…

I know that when i poached 25lbs of Bockwurst in the past in the 24qt pot, there was always some fat loss, and strings fm the natural casings in the water. I just poach 20lbs in the sous vide tank “bagged” water was clean. I since used the same water for other cooks… Still clean. That’s a plus+

Success… Chicken thighs and breasts brined 5hrs, then rinsed… Flashed

YooperDog thank you. No time line…. No rush. Most drivers give plenty of room for a72yr old pilot & wing woman moving 15tons, 52ft (with towed) @ 70mph while passionately discussing the next pit stop😊

Tex_77 WOW…

Chef Please to share your proposed method to line a refer with aluminum. What are you using to seal the vertical and horizonal meeting Planes?

Jim volk gus4416 there is usually a small grommet or plastic stand-off around the shaft of the vent screw to keep the vent centered on the piston vent seal orifice. Easy to lose or overlook

zbigjeff can’t upvote again, THUMBS UP😊

zbigjeff Thank you Jeff. That was very thoughtful. Making friends on the road with 50lbs of Brats is very easy. Decided to bring along a small S.V. tank. I’ve found that the sausage (frozen), tanked for 2hrs @145* then tossed on a searing grill for looks is the way to go. Anything on the road can be sealed with ziplocs using Archimedes’ Principle. Just doesn’t get any better. Hope the Leg repair gives you many more miles. Stay well and safe☺

Chef Done the build on the “Sausage Maker” combination temperature and humidity controller setup before. Getting hard to find metal lined refers to convert these days. Sausage Maker, Pricey but reliable. I will be in their Buffalo NY store in a few days. Will send pics and specs if you want. They do sell all the parts for the build as needed. Cheers

Thanks. Life is good. On the road (Motor Home) to least coast and than to left coast. 15k round trip 😊 Be safe

kyle I spray the cylinder walls too. Do it after cleaning and before using. Remove the silicon ring before washing and lube to stop it fm drying out. Cheers

YooperDog Gosh… You had to remind me of that😎
