How have the first gens held up? I’ve been eyeing them up as they’re starting to pop up in Craigslist for some cheap prices, and I miss my 04 R50.

So say we all, while driving our emotionless appliances.

Basic Linux install. Don’t get crazy, just get WiFi and a browser working. If they bork something up? Reinstall.
I have two “free” laptops from the office that I rescued out of recycling - replaced HD in one, a battery in the other. Minimal cost and effort, and one is my shop PC, the other is a house floater for my…

I haven’t seen an episode of this show, but I’m looking forward to Season 8, when the Video Game realm is opened and the Master Chief arrives to clean up town.

Well, you dump them into your grill, then set the chimney aside (I set it on top of my patio pavers or concrete driveway).

Obviously you need to be careful, so I try to dump the hot coals to the side, so my arm/hand isn’t directly above the heat. Is that what you’re looking for?

We have a nearly identical programmable switch for our exterior lights on our house so they automatically turn on and off. It’s great to come home to find the porch and garage lights are on and not be in completely darkness after work in the winter.

Oooh, VR is so hip!

You’re welcome, Mary Poppins.

Didn’t we have a pretty good idea that Darth Vader was a bad guy from the start of Empire, rather than the revelation of Ego being the antagonist in GotG2?

Don’t worry too much if you don’t buy it right now - it’s $14.99 normal price at Home Depot, so it’s a good deal, but I wouldn’t go running to the checkout button if you have one already.

I’ll agree, the heat shield doesn’t offer a ton of protection, but it’s better than nothing. I also dump my coals before it gets too rip-roaring hot (I’ve lost the hair on my knuckles enough times). If the canister is glowing though, I grab my silicone gloves.

I don’t what it is about the Weber design, but I previously had another chimney that was cheaper than the Weber by a few dollars. It rusted out within two years.

When I replaced it, I bought the Weber. It instantly was faster to get the charcoal to temp, and just worked better overall. That was almost four years ago.…

Why do I hate the dress so much as well?

You know you’re in trouble when you’re buying used bourbon barrels and making your own chips.

If you’re not as crazy as I am though, grab oak chips, and soak them at least one day ahead of time time in some whiskey.

Obviously, she was the Mark I version.

Ah, another one of the Lockwood’s comes to the surface. At least his brother Flint was level headed.

If you don’t want to go electric, but still want ease of use, I cannot recommend an Orion Cooker enough. I was introduced by a friend, and I now have three of them. I’ve done whole turkey, ribs, pork shoulder, brisket, turkey breast, chicken wings, whole chicken, sausage, etc in ours, and if you follow the directions…

People cut it in a shape other than squares?

You mean *Milwaukee* cracker crust.
Which requires a visit to Zaffiro’s on Brady to get the real deal.

Somewhere we still have a VHS copy of the first episode of Voyager, kicking off the debut of UPN.
