That is locking our front door at 4 am, 20 miles to the airport then crossing a few time zones and the dateline.....
I've reached my rye limit, and my spinal headache is a dull menace. A light snack to stave off hangupper. Turkey and avacado on Texas toast with mayo.
There is no doubt. Together for 31 yrs, married for 28, and still thinks I have life insurance. God lover.

Them women take that training shit seriously? The good ones seriously do not want to go through training another one???
Don’t know if it would work for your application but for my egg I use a remote probe with a display in the house that tells me the internal temp of the egg as well as the internal temp of the meat. Cost like $75 and cut the traffic down on my rear sliding door by about 90%. Also allows me to program temp set points with alarms to tell me when the meat is at the desired temp or the internal temp on the egg has dropped off. This brand has held up ok for me.
The Traeger has a temp reading on it for internal temp. I just turn it so it the smoker faces my door. That’s all well and good if I stay home and peak out the door every so often. I however decided to keep working in the shop instead of babysitting the damn thing. That’s what always causes the problem. If I stay home the thing never had a problem. If I leave it fucks up... such is life.
You could take the read out display into the shop with you relative to distance. My reloading room is opposite side of the house on the second floor as an example and works great. Wife just informed me that I’m cooking tonight on the egg???
Shop is on the south side of town and my house is on the north side. 2 miles. What I need is a WiFi version
@Geno C.
All that high tech stuff can get cut off.
You need a friend that likes bbq and beer to keep an eye on things for you.
I'm not picky on beer, and can tend a fire, what was the address?

It’s not that I don’t like to sit around the smoker all day, I just like to eat and still have shit to get done!
Don't let my wife here of all this automation.
Next thing you know I will no longer get to spend my day tending to the complicated task
of stoking fire, mixing the perfect blend of oak, mesquite and pecan, making sure the
precise amount of smoke wisps out of the stack.
Then since I'm a Texas crush guy, waiting for the exact second a tiny sweat bead
pops out on top "stall" double wrapping like it were baby jesus himself.
Then guarding the packedge through cool down from bark snatchers and other vermin.
I'm running short of viable excuses to sit around and drink beer without major interruption.
I have a wireless meat thermometer to keep from peeking, have to stay within 100 ft
of smoker, just as I planned. Lol

Skiing was terrible! Snow was knee deep, mid thigh in many places. Beautiful blue sky day.
I wish I would have been enjoying it ^^^. Didn’t take any pics around the yard running the blower, but ran the loader tractor up a down our road 3 times during the day to keep it open so the we could make our commitments, run errands, etc... Pic is my final trip of the afternoon from a parts run. I was unloading stuff in the yard when the motor grader went by ? and opened it properly.
by the way, those skis are 140 mm at the tip, 111mm under foot with full rocker. Almost cheating......
Years ago when I was really into skiing, I was on 203’s. What has brought about the change to the short boards? I’ll admit, I haven’t keep informed on skiing since the early 90’s.by the way, those skis are 140 mm at the tip, 111mm under foot with full rocker. Almost cheating......
Long ski's are fast like for going down the timed portion of the Zugspitze.
Suck for turns and mogals.lol

Those skis are 183 CM long. Long for a short guy like me.
Mid 90's they started making skis with sidecut (fatter tip and tail). turns were much easier. they also shortened them. I skied on 204 K2 racing skis until about 97. Those skis were probably 65-70mm under your boot, 100 or less at the tip.
Now they have all kinds. The ones I was on today at 183 CM long, 111mm under foot, fat 140mm at tip. Instead of a normal camber where when you put your skis together and the tip and tail touch. These skis touch under the bindings and are separated at tip and tail.
Lots more goes into ski design theses days. My favorite pair is Volkl Mantras. Full sheet of titanium to make them stiff and hold hard when going fast. they are my go to all mountain do anything ski.

Ok, I misunderstood the 140mm part. So, they haven’t shortened them all that much. Thanks for the clarification.
There was a place in Germany we could ski 17 km nonstop then get on a bus back to the top.
Eat and drink waiting on another bus.
I didn't do mogals in the full length skis .
In the late 70s early 80s short wide skis would chatter and flex too much.
I bet they have that fixed now?
Too old for going that fast now.

“Expert” skis lost 20-25cm over the past 20 years. Out West they like wide “fat” skis for light powder snow but here in the icy East you want narrower, stiff ice skates, errr skis.
I’m a big guy and use a pair of 165cm slaloms and 188cm giant slaloms. When I go West I rent fat boys. 40 years ago I raced on 203cm slaloms and 212cm giant slaloms (solid metal with glass tops).

Spent today cooking/packing/prepping for the last hunting trip of the 2018-2019 season. I have already had the best season of my life, and hope to kick that up a notch or two!
It’s snowing like Hell so you know you have to plow.

Never!
Loveland. That place has changed a lot in the last few years. Used to be a little more down home. Getting crowded and full of DB yuppies

Still have a set of K2 VO Unlimited 205.
Seemed they were good at speed.
Moguls, better to use the air for turning.

I think you have to change your signature to “general do-it-all damn well fix-it guy”.
I am pretty handy and the projects you show and how good they look is pretty amazing.
Your shop seems pretty darn sweet too.

Thanks, I don’t know about all well but I tend to have to do a lot of stuff myself. I grew up pretty poor and learned to fix stuff that we couldn’t afford to pay someone to fix.
I’d rather be out shooting but it’s gotta get done and it’s too cold to be outside and try to use my fingers

I can fix a good bit, grew up the same way, 3 kids, stay at home mom and my dad fixed machines and electrical stuff for a factory. We fixed everything when I was a kid. I remember my dad re-doing the foundation on our really old house himself, with some help from friends.
Anything complex on cars is out of my wheelhouse.
Plus your busy being a dad and husband. Best stuff right there.

I followed these tracks in the snow this morning and they led to a den of SMK’s ?
It was a bit cool today, 5 degrees when I was shooting this morning (-2730 DA) for those that like numbers. That air produces pretty sunsets though.
There’s just never enough hours in a day.
I think the lowest I’ve shot in is -3400 +/- last year. As you mentioned, fingers don’t last long.
That’s a good part about shooting multiple guns on the same range session with suppressors. Get one warm and use it to warm your fingers while you shoot the next one?
Good job tracking!
Nearly impossible without snow.
Stay out of DeForest with that thing. I don’t need “thump thump” music waking me up in the middle of the night ?.
Hmmmm.
A bumpin system in a creaper van.
What exactly is the plan here? ?

While I do like my music I appreciate quality over volume most times. This system is really set up to be a mobile theater. I wanted cinema quality sound out of this tin can. The installed waa impressed and said it is probably the quietest vehicle he’s ever been inside
Grabbing a quick lunch between the radio shop, tattoo shop, and hair cuttin lady. It’s about to snow like a bitch and I have to drive the damn van home through it. Might as well make it interesting ?
She’s still beat up some on the outside yet. Haven’t gotten around to the body work yet...
