Just watched the fighter.

Probably going to an SQ comp tomorrow locally. Supposed to be mostly team DIYma.

I've got some of that Mount Gay rum to try soon.

J

I like Mount Gay, but Sailor wins for me.

Flora de Cana wins by far in that challenge.

clear and spiced?

I love the clear but I didn't fall inlove with their lower cost spiced rum. I think they have 3 ages do you know what you tried?

Tried 4, 5,7, 12, 18. My choice is 7, 4&5 aren't good and 12,18 aren't worth it.

[///M5 2,833]

insert a "that" before good

[dem beats 1,223]

Thanks!

I'll give it a shot.

How do you pick an angle in the first place, like the idea of uniform. When I snowboard its about 15/15 but they are parallel, but I like to go fast

I ride 13/13 when I snowboard too, but I'm a park guy. I think I ride the same for wakeboard, but haven't messed with my stance in forever. I would start with 15/15 if that's what you're already comfortable. There's really no set way to determine asfaik. I'd bring the tools to adjust it and just ride around and tweak it until it feels right. That's pretty much the best way to get it, but I know it's hard to decide at first. It just takes some tweaking and time

Sean, I forgot to mention lifejackets. I don't know if you're already set for them or not, but a good neoprene life jacket is a smart investment. They're 1000X more comfortable than "normal" ones which makes a huge difference when you're out all day. I've always liked Oneil and Hyperlite.

Funny, am shopping for one in another browser in parallel On my old lake I'd just wear my wetsuit, but that isn't legal and on Tonka they'll probably do something. Floats enough to have someone save my life if necessary, but not coast guard approved. Frustrated with all I've tried on as they aren't long enough when they fit my chest.

Even the XL? Hmmmmm I wanna say that I've seen some XL longs before which are just longer for taller people. O'neil has a sizing chart on their website and the XLT is meant for people up to 6'5". If there's a dealer in your area you could try one on and see how the fit is. I've got an Assault and like it.

[Luke.H 33]

Luke, my idea on the rope is that comfortable enough is okay since in the long run I'll hardly be using it Figure that a cheap one could be fine for that.

I think you've got the right idea. No reason spending tons of money on a rope if you're not going to be doing it a lot. Most people use a wakeboard or ski rope so that will easily be a step up from that.

I have Kneeboarded and done a bunch of slalom skiing, but never a wakeboarded. Look's like FuNn!!

I've never kneeboarded but I hear it can be brutal. I've tried to slalom so many times, but never could. Even when I tried dropping a ski I'd always end falling and swallowing about a gallon of water.

I drop a ski periodically, but that would be the slalom ski. I can't deep start barefoot, but dropping the slalom has mixed results. Hurts too much to fall though. Perhaps I'll get a boom for the BU.

I've never tried a boom, but can agree about falling hurting like hell.

[Luke.H 33]

Sean, I'm also kind of curious what kind of snowboard you ride. I'm guessing directional traditional camber? Being a park guy I ride a true twin reverse camber. Stepchild jibstick with union forces FTW. RC isn't good for speed, but they're so fun to ride. You just float and they've got ridiculous amounts of pop. I've been dying to try out a Bataleon with that TBT.

<<< Needs to buy a new Ai-net to 3.5mm cable so I can hook up the Zune. I miss the easy access to my whole library.

KCA-121B

Just picked one up for my bro's 9855

Going to try my hand at pulled pork Wensday. I bought a 9lb pork shoulder and plan to rub it down Monday and start smoking Tuesday night.

Don't exceed 225 and let it go until the meat is 185 and you will be golden. The rest will just make it better.

Start with cold meat and make sure the smoke is rolling when you put it on

My plan is to keep it right around 200 with some heavy smoke. I will rub it the day before and keep it in the frig.

I was told 1-1.5 hrs per pound so if I put it on at 10pm it should be ready for supper the next day. Also with this Mavrick unit I have I can watch the grate and internal meat temps.

I smoked a 10 pound bag of wings with hot wing rub and they went quick. I was suprised how good they were!

[Godsmack 361]

Well the new car is going to be late getting here.

But at least the house is slowly getting put together.

Now if I can just get my damn truck.

J

Congrat's on the house Jordan. Did I miss the pic's?

That sucks about the truck, hopefully you get it worked out.

Eh its just military housing. Once I finish (hopefully tomorrow) I'll post some pics.

I'm doing a prime rib on mine tomorrow. Haven't decided how I am collecting drippings and when I am doing the browning, but I'll probably just plop a pan of water underneath it. Half of me says brown first in the pan, half says brown after in a different pan and deglaze with the drippings (all)

Prime rib is my next venture. So any tips you have are welcome.

I love to eat prime rib and home made bread all soaked up in the drippings.

7 to 9 years seems to be the best aging time for rum. All the sipping rums I have tasted have been of that age. It does seem the longer it ages the more oak flaver they develop. I have a bottle that was aged for 21 years and that shit is strong!

I thought that to until I tried one. Granted they are not like deep frying them, but good.

[nem 2,019]

Aged rum TOP!

[Godsmack 361]

Being from outside of Buffalo originally anything but deep fried is like treason.

I understand that. We have a local bar that makes wings almost as good as the Anchor bar in Buffalo.

It just takes some tweaking and time

The 15/15 was a guess and I chose that by figuring out the smallest angle where my toes won't drag on the frontside edge

Just to give you shits and giggles, I learned how to "wakeboard" when it was called skurfing because there was only Skurfer's available and nothing else. My grandfather had the first pair of water ski's in Northern MN and I learned how to snowboard on a Burton woody. ie a wood board with three metal fins in the back and NO edges. Lots of fun on the ice. I raced and taught snowboarding lessons in the early 90's, but have been off of all water (water or ice) sports for more than 10 years. Time to get back into it!!

I am not XL, only tall. 43" chest...

Thanks for digging though, I hadn't been able to find a tall yet. Off to oneils site

By not a lot I meant I'll be dropping the rope very shortly

LOL. My snowboard is a 178 K2 Freeride circa 1988. Big bombing fast board, but with lip so you can do more than slalom.

You wouldn't say that if you ate mine.
