Smoked ribs today..... Not as good as usuall.... But really tasty. I'm having trouble getting a good smoke ring on ribs lately. No good reason why. Cold meat at 225, but the smoke doesn't penitrate.

Maybe the meat is the problem?

Yea really, I live like 20 miles away and this shit makes me sick!

Ate some trout today, it was absolutely delicious. Best cooked fish I ever ate

If that is the case you should come visit me.

Had to reread these with a fresh brain.

1/4 cup turbinado sugar

6.0 oz. tequila

4.0 oz. triple sec

2.5 oz. lime juice

4.5 oz. water

...and a pound of ice in a blender is mighty nice indeed.

BOO. Frozen marg's are a waste and your liquor to mixer quantities are really weak.

and I do mean bite

Too much sweet and not enough booze.

Try:

Rocks glass full of ice

Juice one lime

2 shots tequila

.5 shot/splash of Cointreau

Sweet syrup to taste. none is necessary with good limes, but we sure the fuck rarely get those.

Kind of chuckled because my frozen marg recipe is just my standard on the rocks recipe, diluted down with water to ~10-11% ABV, about the same as a standard highball like whiskey and coke, rum and coke, etc.:

Juice of 1 lime

3 oz. (2 shots) of tequila

1 oz. (1 pony shot) triple sec/orange liqueur

Sugar or syrup to taste

Pretty similar, eh?

5 oz of water is as much as the drink and 1/4 cup of sugar is HUGE. Otherwise yep. I like my drinks to do the job.

Matt you are dehydrated. Probably more than the booze to conquer. Considering you referenced sinuses it hints at the same. Guzzle a gallon of water in the am and get it beyond you.

Had a babysitter tonight. Just got back from the bar. Best boat ride of the year and a sweet swim part way through

If it only were that easy...maybe some day...who knows

Trying to break in the BTL, playing 15hz on my PA amp and the fans kicked in on high in 5 minutes of play time. I need more power or more fans

So jelly. We need to do some night boating sometime. It's by far one of my favorite pass times.

I just drank 64 ounces of water. I'm going to go lay down and get another couple hours. Then poiund water all day. I think your are right, I never get dehydrated but when Iwent car shopping I'm sure I was. Never caught up. I need to get some sodium potassium and a shit load of water.

I've been craving carbohydrates like crazy and that is a sure sign.

[dem beats 1,223]

Oh my. I got an email about testing a black on black m5. I hope I can. I think that will be much more me than the m6. Maybe the M button will work too.

I still really want to test the M3. On paper the c63 is faster than the Cayman s, or the 911s. While its by far the smartest most user friendly car I have driven it didn't give me the same thrill as that POS appointed Cayman.

It also didn't have the same perfect seats that the E55 did.

I could maybe search for a 996 turbo. That would cure everything I bet. And I love the fried egg eyes. It would just need all of the engine work recently done to correct the know problems.

Or I need to find a good job, and save.... I don't like that option. I want to drive to interviews in something epic.

A guy at work got his '10 f-250 on the dyno, 535hp and 810ftlb. Not bad for bolt ons, diesel of course.

[///M5 2,833]

Don't make me want a truck damnit. Lucky there isnt enough suspension love to make them city vehicles...

I just watch the color of my pee.

[///M5 2,833]

That doesn't always tell the story....but it sure can.

[dem beats 1,223]

I take vitamins and vitamin C throughout the day. My piss is always some goofy color.

:-)

[dem beats 1,223]

But for most, yes, piss color is important. The downside is once you see it's brown..... it's too late.

[dem beats 1,223]

protein shake for breakfast and already had 80oz of water not including the shake.

I'm feeling much better. Lots of sleep and lots of water. I forget sometimes how much just sleeping with the AC or a fan can dehydrate you.

[dem beats 1,223]

ahhhhhhhhh

96 oz.

I'm gonna try for 2 gallons and lots of sodium and potassium today.

I should feel much better.

[dem beats 1,223]

It must have been car shopping. It was hot that day and I sweat bad when I'm concentrating. Probably only drank a gallon of water that day, barely ate, and probably sweat out 2 gallons of water.

[Adrian_D 520]

During the week I was working on the install I was right around 1.5 gallons / day. This damn heat drains you !

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

That doesn't always tell the story....but it sure can.

Especially if you take a Vitamin B supplement

[dem beats 1,223]

im so large and such a sweater that even sipping a carbo drink while working iutni have lost more than 15 pounds in a 1.5 hour work out session.

So sweating for 8 hours in the sun and walking on blacktop and thinking hard really knocked me out. i thought back and ciunted, I only had 5 8 oz bottles of water ans 2 cans of sparkling water. And one power aid. combine that with psudaphed and caffeen for breakfast and no wonder i have been out of it.
