While not nearly as bad of a trip, I feel you, and I’ve made a similar trip, only to arrive and be dumped.
I drowned my sorrows in burritos and iced tea on my way home.

Who knows, maybe someday I’ll find out the story. Maybe she was seeing someone else at the same time, and decided to cut me off.
I don’t dwell on it much anymore - I’m married, have a beautiful kiddo, and beyond the normal headaches of adult life, I’m pretty happy.

Never knew there was a term for it.
I still wonder what happened to the gal I was dating a few years ago. She essentially disappeared - wouldn’t return e-mails, calls, etc. Literally the last date was dinner out, noticing her headlight was out, fixing the headlight, hug and kiss goodbye after a long hug waiting for her…

We’ve never cared for a “picture perfect bird”. We have grilled, roasted, spatchcocked, and this year we are smoking our birds. In the end, we carve them then serve out of slow cookers because of the size of our group.

What matters is the company and the food. Sometimes not in that order.

It’ll likely be a fine CUV, but damn that name is terrible.

After having a pair of herniated discs, my pain scale is much, much different than others.

How have these been in terms of reliability/new model teething issues?

Bonus: That MAPP torch makes a great fire starter grilling.

I grab mine because it’s so much more reliable than stick lighters or fumbling with matches - starts easy, intense heat. I have a MAPP tank that I am just starting to get to the end of after a couple years on grill duty.

Just remember to store the torch/tank…

I use my coolers when I’m letting my BBQ rest after pulling off the smoker. GIve them 30-45min, and life is pretty good. Juices redistribute, the temps are likely still rising internally, etc.

If I’m working with something very juicy, I have used a large trash bag to act as a line inside my cooler as well. That way I…

Have there been any deals on projectors lately? I’d like to get one for occasional use in the garage for parties to watch movies (thinking for the kiddos to watch Thomas the Tank Engine wall-sized), so not trying to break the bank but want something with decent resolution/brightness for when the adults can…

I... I wouldn’t mind this.

The physical humor writes itself. Now, getting the music down right for the song, that’s hard.

My son can’t walk yet, but he can pilot his own dad-powered robot! The arm plans came ala Giant Cardboard Robots recent Kickstarter campaign, we made the body with a front opening for my son to sit in his carrier, and strapped up his favorite car toy for him to control. Hopefully when I get home for Trick or Treat the…

So, then the debate is - who wins, the Borg or the xenomorphs?

Or combine them and unleash hell.

The Legends go back to the Old West (and Jonah Hex) in “Outlaw Country”.

Yes, I know USB-C is the future for everything not Apple, but still...

Like this?

Not a terrible idea - they’re put together in TN right?
Though that might not be agreeable because then Nissan would have to update the Frontier (which I’m surprised is still being sold as is from what, early or mid 2000's?), I wonder if Merc would agree to it with a platform-mate cheap version (in the Nissan) running…

Mercedes has invested a lot into production in the Southern United States, I wonder how much of a stretch it would be to build (or assemble) these in NA to avoid the tax.
