Well I got that POS Ford Tempo to move under it's own power. I had to remove the rear seat to unlock the trunk form the inside to get at the spare because only two of the tires would hold air for more than a couple of minutes. I was going to buy some cheap $30 trailer tires to put on the rims but tractor supply was sold out of the size I needed.

I just made 3 dozen pizzelle. I made some the other day that sucked, too cakey and thick and bland. Less flour, more sugar, more salt, less baking powder, more anise and I creamed the butter and sugar for 5 minutes. These were much better. Perfect consistency, thin and crisp, but still kinda bland. Next time they'll get additional brown sugar and more anise, maybe some anise seed if I can get it. I wish I thought to roll some up and I coulda made some cannoli, next time.

For those that don't know what pizzelle are

It all depends on how bad something is wanted.

For many years I would drive for hours across multiple states just to be with my girlfriend on the weekends.

I once drove from Toledo Ohio to Daytona Beach Fla in 24 hours on a Friday and then back again on the next Monday. After we married things did not change much. For several years I frequently drove round trip from Detroit Mi to Southern Va nearly every weekend. 10 hrs home on Friday and 10 hrs back on Sunday.

Complicated or not, things won't change until a line is drawn and a decision is made.


I hear you. I was once engaged to a Palestinian chick who lived in Iowa while I'm in Chicago. I would take the Greyhound bus (just to step foot on that nasty thing, it HAD to be love) every Friday afternoon, and return to Chicago to trade at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange each Monday morning. I got about 3 hours of shitty sleep on the bus each Sunday evening when I left, and I did this for almost a year until we broke up. Since her family were pious Muslims (her and I were atheist) I learned a good deal of Arabic, and thoroughly studied the Quran and the Hadith and often attended Mosque with them. They did not approve of my family (we were poor, they were very wealthy), and it ultimately did not work, but it was all a very interesting experience. I can't imagine doing something like that again, but I don't regret the experience...

We accomplished our foray to the Costco, and I am now posting from a sweet new Samsung Note 8. Merry Christmas to me.
Also picked up some pretty decent ribeye. So gonna go light the grill.
Let me know if you don't want me spamming this thread with steak porn?

ETA: only one piece fell off the car on the interstate, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't important as we made it home alright. Probably should have cleaned all the deer fur out of the radiator before we left.

space saver tires from the junk yard usually pretty cheap, last for a couple of hundred miles

Fucking gross I'd rather a blue waffel. Those scaley bastards are frozen sucking on dead shitplants now.. I've never seen anything like that I thought he was rubbing his genitals on them or something.


So after that I mocked up the new ratrod with a powerstroke View attachment 4062843
Check out the dope air ride
View attachment 4062845

I've never done a turbo or deasel or bags or a 4 link or a chop so I'm guessing this is how I die but ill enjoy the ride
I never seen a air ride system with a 10" blade and rip fence before ,awesome dude.

Great start to a new ride, can't wait to see how it turns out.

Are you a farmer/rancher yourself? Those steaks are cooked to perfection! :smile:
I'm a pretty big time rancher...lol...I own one steer calf, I traded a year grazing lease for. I lost a bunch of money in the deal, but trying to build up good will with new neighbors. Trying to be a farmer, starting slow, not going all crazy hippy homesteader. Mainly always wanted to own a big chunk of land. Trying to be more self sufficient.
I've been meaning to start a thread on my new Farm. At 35 years old, wife and I decided it was time to do a big move or be stuck forever. Packed up daughter and moved two states away from everything I've ever known.
Found a big hunk of raw land that had most of what we wanted. Had a big pole barn built, then designed and built two houses inside it, with a nice shop in the middle. (Never built a house before)
Anyway, I could go on and on. I'll start a possum farm thread eventually.
On the steaks; reverse sear for the win! Slow cook at about 220 to 250 until the steaks are up to about 120, then stoke up the grill to about 400 (I start more coals in chimney starter) and sear for a couple minutes each side for the crust. Steaks done at 140 and no need to rest. All the pics were during the sear, not the boring slow cook.
