Teriyaki tri tip and chicken.

Oh my.

Apple pie!

Not the best but not bad.

They weigh in at about four pounds a rack, so that's about twelve pounds total. I cut them in to half racks so they would fit in to the vertical smoker. Three up, three down.

I didn't quite pull it off so I opted for plan B, the smoker.

Rib time!

I think the changeable plug was either a later addition or a feature of the standard M240. I don't recall it being present in the 240C. The 240C was a special use version that was solenoid operated and could only be used as a coax. I didn't even think about the glove!

I actually competed in machine gun marksmanship competitions using the M60. We ran three man teams. The gunner (me), an assistant gunner, who helps with barrel changeouts and is the backup gunner, and an ammo bearer, who carries ammo and helps carry the gun. Our team took first place in our...

I always thought it was quaint how the Germans would inventory their spent brass after a range session. They also had a pretty slick reloading tool for the MG3 link belts, which were reusable.

I had an HP28S, which was arguably the best graphing calculator ever. Had. The plastic case finally fatigued and broke at the battery cover. Graphing calculators are sort of irrelevant these days. It's not much more effort to lug a small laptop around than a full size HP calculator. For that...

I had a project in Bishop, which is about 8 hours of driving but an hour and a half by plane. I would call the local Enterprise office and let them know I needed a car, would pick up the keys at the FBO desk, do my meeting, drop the keys back off at the FBO desk, and would be home by happy hour...

Good call on not leaving it in the smoker for too long. Medium rare is ideal, and anything past dries it out. Too many local BBQ joints overcook (oversmoke) their tri tip. I normally just grill it covered on the Weber. I don't think I would mess with smoking it personally unless I was already...

NY strip. All 1.75 lbs. and cole slaw.

See now that song is stuck in my head.

They have Dickie's here. I've been completely unimpressed. There are a few local BBQ joints around here that aren't at all bad.
