No collateral damage to the rest of the transmission, so there's that...

Turns out the torque converter on the E55 imploded and was throwing shrapnel into the impeller, and subsequently the rest of the transmission. Makes sense now; hindsight is always 20/20 blah blah blah. New torque converter should be delivered to the shop Monday.

well that's disturbing...giant zit on the inside of my nose

Fuck you you fucking fuck

I like Mount Gay, but Sailor wins for me. Flora de Cana wins by far in that challenge. Cruzan for me; the 2 yr. dark stuff that's like 15 bucks a fifth. Smoother than comparably priced 4 yr. Cana when mixed with cola IMO. 7 yr. Cana beats them all but a bit too pricey, considering I only drink rum mixed...

a really nice sidecar, crab cakes, bacon wrapped scallops, turtle gumbo, Akaushi ribeye with bone marrow on the side...you're damned right I slept in this morning...*rubs belly*

Shadow of the New Praetorian Tipping cows in fields Elysian Saturnalia for all you have The seven habits of the highly infected calf

turns out the required textbook for this course I'm taking in the fall is 7 Habits...I fucking laughed my ass off...

99.9% sure I'm starting to lose my marbles...why hello thar magic bourbon sleeping pill...

Wait for it...

correct; ended up pulling it at 8 1/2 hours @ 183F. Yummy...

first pork butt turned out a helluva lot better than my first brisket; gonna let it go a little longer next time, maybe try a different rub...

6 1/2 hours in, 163F

If you had an egg you wouldn't have to do anything but stand there, drink and watch it work. What can I say, its a $35 Brinkmann; about as efficient as an incandescent bulb

just shy of four hours in, 121F dead center...niiiiiice...PITA to rake and stoke every hour, but its still billowing smoke like a locomotive so I'm pleased
