Welcome to the IHoP v.2

This arthritis shit moved into my jaw, so I have been nibbling like a goldfish.

Took my meds today and ate a salad and barely had any issue, then grabbed a bed frame for a guest who had been in early in the week and I realized I wasn't limping nearly at all and was able to move it across the floor to the desk for him.

This is amazing. If this is just helping with the tendons, and sympathetic pain, how awesome will I be when I'm on the good shit?

OMFG this is awesome.

I knew I was having a lot of pain because of the flare, that wasn't the actual flare, but neither the doctor or I thought it would do anything but take the edge off.

I was more optimistic than he was, but this is awesome. Time to schedule another massage and start stretching.

I just went to the local appliance store to pick up some washer parts.  A good friend of the family works there and he told me they have Kamado grills now.  Kingdome.  Anyways, he told me they bought a Primo, BGE, and compared them to the Kingdome and they all preferred the Kingdome.  They are having a cook off with all of them on Friday and it's open to all customers, so I am going to do some research on them and stop by Friday and see how it does.  I do NOT like the gasket they use though.  It seems like nothing more than a cheap felt strip and the temp gauge only goes up to 700?! 

 

Kamado Joe?

123 two hours after dinner.  Januvia and protein binging must be working.  I hope I can just do the diet thing as I HATE taking medication.

Nothin much.  Trying to get the Mark cleaned up and sold.  I got a nasty rust patch that just popped up over the PS wheel well over the quarter and unfortunately it needs to be cut out and replaced.  Need to find some door panels too so I don't have to cut up mine.   Would also like to find another set of stock wheels as I have something special I want to do.  Wouldn't mind building my Teksid block and throwing a blower on it either.  She's a bit heavy and I could do for a bit more acceleration.

I've been on their forums and Googling all day.  Everyone seems to have a favorite for different reasons.   According to the web, the Grill Dome has the thickest ceramic (1.5" versus 1" for the others), but is it even needed.  That seems to be it's only advantage, if it is an advantage, and it's available in 5 colors if that matters to anyone.

Great looking car, doesn't this have the same engine as my wifes' 97 Cougar XR7?

They have the same displacement, but that's about all they share.  Your Cougar has the SOHC 4.6 with iron block and NPI 2V heads.  The Mark VIIIs, use the 4.6 DOHC with an aluminum block and 4V heads.  Both cars share relatively the same chassis though.  The MN-12 is slightly lengthened and tweaked a bit for the Mark VIII

It is only thicker at the belly where the band goes around. Either way go with what you like.

Then here I am with my propane Weber.

I wish I had a Weber instead of my Coleman Road trip grill. Its great for portability but the Weber would cook much better.

Ouch on the price of them.  

 

I suppose that is what happens with a 'marine' grill.

You seem to get all the good CL deals, not squat on ours most of the time.
