"Hold my beer."

Excalibur.

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...

The transformation of sugars to alcohol is a one way trip, it can't be reversed. That said, alcohol...

I'm pretty certain "they" drink beer for the same reason I do - to get f'd up.

Funny thing is, over there, I can drink beer every night and still lose weight.

I'm not sure I'd want it back at that point.

To be clear, I will continue my support of the Girl Scouts.
