    Let's see those Latest Purchases!

    A GLS 580. Some plane tickets. A new kitchen. Kids’ Christmas gifts. All I really want is for someone to buy my CanAm X3 so I can buy a big turbo Evo though. Sad

    Hotels and homelessness

    Anytime we are traveling and aren’t taking the camper we use AirBnB or Vrbo. Couldn’t tell you the last time I stayed in a hotel. Typically save money and have a way better experience renting someone’s property

    Build it Yourself Modular DOHC V10

    Both cars have OHC engines with many differences overall, a significant one being the number of valves. Are you really going to tell me that 2 engines in 2 cars, with all things being identical other than how the valves are mechanically opened, are going to have different exhaust tones?

    Build it Yourself Modular DOHC V10

    That has nothing to do with sound, but firing order does. You also only hear one bank at a time from most Vipers because of the side exhaust.

    Had it on the back deck of our toy hauler, was a great setup. Used the garage as our kitchen/prep area so everything was easy clean up

    I used to only carry PM2's until the Para3 came out.... now the PM2 feels too large. Re: sharpening, I like the Spyderco Sharpmaker. Impossible to **** up and leaves a nice edge

    No idea... 99% of my blades stay in the box and in the safe. My daily carry is a Para3 in S45VN and I have no complaints. Holds an excellent edge, only have to sharpen it once every 4-5 months or so

    Most ridiculous thing I've read all day I'll be in Denver again at the end of the month, will be making my annual pilgrimage to the Spyderco factory store and spending way too much money

    Entered for my first KCBS comp in 2 weeks from now with a buddy. 2 day cook, turn ins Saturday and Sunday. Have done a few local non-sanctioned comps and done pretty well but never an official one. I’ll post up pics from the cook and hopefully some decent results at the end

    Don't be scared of brisket.... people make it out to be hard but I think that's just because everyone wants to over complicate it. - S&P - 225-250* - Wrap in butcher paper at 160* IT - Start probing once IT hits 195*, pull when probes like butter throughout - Wrap in foil, towels, and rest in...

    Car loans are +10%, What The Heck!??

    We've been fortunate with buying houses. Bought first one in 2012 for $270k, sold in 2018 for $415k. Bought our current house in 2018 for $650k and could sell now for $1.2M. Unfortunately everything else has also gone up and we aren't likely to find our current 30 yr/2.99% mortgage again ever.

    Crappy tires you have bought

    Continental HD3’s that come on F450’s. Might be the worst tire on the planet.

    This summer heat is awful.

    Seems to have cooled off a bit in the past few days. Sitting at the Palisade Brewery now and it’s 93* but feels like an upper 70’s evening back in VA. **** humidity
