    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I have had several. I would recommend a Chilean Rose Hair. They get quite large (so they look cool) and are very docile. They also tend to move fairly slowly which is good for new handlers and for the delicate spider. That was Jay. I had her for 15 years. I let her out all the time. Feeding and maintaining their habitat is extremely simple and quite cheap. How old is Gavin? Thank you! That is awesome! Gavin just turned 5. I was quite thrown when he told me what he wanted, but he loves bugs and creep crawly things. I'm not too keen on them myself, but I've never handled one or even seen one in person. I think I can handle it though. SFTSOL. Which is Internet for Said Fuck That Shit Out Loud.

    Have you guys ever seen the ceramic grill store and the adjustable rig? Seems like you can do anything on that bad boy, including double and even triple racks

    Would me much better if the wife was around. Other than that though, it has been a pretty good day.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Just opened a beer after finishing mowing my lawn at the new house for the first time. I bought a Troybilt 675 series 6.25 ftlb model from a guy at work and ill be damned if I can find one for less than $250 brand new so I offered him $100 because it was barely used but he said he was sure he paid around $150 so I got it for $80. Either way at least half price, the oil is golden, the tank is full and it started first pull. Hells yeah

    I'm thinking Jeep Grand Cherokee after looking it up on acronym finder. Or maybe Japan Gasoline Company?

    That's good to hear because sherwin has a store in town. Anywhere else is at least a 45 min drive.

    Speaking of kinky shit. Painting interior walls. Is Benjamin Moore worth the price? If not, what is?

    Also, once I get good at manual low temp smoking I'm going for a controller

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Put the egg through the paces for the first time! I cooked some New York Strips and while the temp was way less than I had hoped (~500*F) the steaks came out great and had an Amazing flavor from the lump. Also my meat thermo really helped things out. What I need to figure out is how to set things up for maximum heat. Ill be the first to admit that I am not the best at charcoal cooking (yet) so I'll have to fine tune my fore making skills. How do you guys set it up and what temps do you achieve?

    My new Fitness Goals

    Howdy all, I wanted to take some time to share my fitness goals. I have been through many times in the past where I wanted to do this or that. Sometimes I wanted to be really strong and body build, other times I wanted to run a lot and be lean. This time I have a compromise of the two extremes. My goal, being general, is to be able to compete (with my friends) on a high level athletically. This will include sports such as softball, ultimate, running, cycling, swimming with softball really being my biggest focus. I love baseball but can't compete at the level that is available to me and softball I can play with more people and have a lot of fun. Also, as with almost anyone, my secondary goal is too look better and feel better. Current Status: 6'1" 230lbs (Gained about 15lbs since last year: mostly fat) I am a Grad Student with classes, a research job and I am also very involved with my church. Time is not in my favor but I do try to make the most of it. Plan of attack: I played softball this summer and while I was very happy with my performance, I did not have the necessary power needed to hit home-runs. Therefore, I am beginning my regimen in the weight room. I work out with my room mate (which is a big help for sticking with it) 5 days a week. We do upper body (including core/abs) on MWF and lower body on TTh. Our workouts consist of some of the basics (bench, curls, squat, leg press, etc..) and we throw in a lot of different ways to work out all of our muscles. Also, he has a basketball background so we throw in some fun cardio basketball workouts some days. For cardio, I currently rely on sports. I'm playing rec league flag football currently and I play ultimate frisbee every Saturday. I'm also trying to work in swimming on TTh with my gf (shes a good swimmer) Goals: My goal in the weight room is to get to what I feel is "strong enough" I would like to be able to bench 205x8 and hit a 1 rep max of about 240. I really don't know what I want on squat but I am thinking the 350 range is good for me. After I reach my weight lifting goals I want to maintain them but not hit the gym as often as I transition into more cardio exercises. Cardio will be focused on speed and agility while also incorporating some long runs and bicycle trips on the weekends. This is all I really have for now. Feel free to share your thoughts, ideas or encouragement.
