Kid gave me a cold. I've felt like shit all day but have been pushing fluids (at least 3 gal ) but of course now that I might lie down my nose is starting to clog up. Motherfucker. Hate this and hate taking medication, but am concerned if I don't I won't sleep. No idea what to take.

Damn military guys not caring about being comfortable. You need to be pampered occasionally.

Regular no shoes height is 5'10", and my feet to hips is about 3'5". J Ok, so it was:

The Aeron was SUPER uncomfortable. Horseshit base and way too short in the shoulders.

As you know, amusingly I've been shopping for an ergo desk chair. Figure it's one of those things I should own considering how much ass time I have. Not so amusing is that I leave the damn show rooms and get in the ML and it feels better.

Or a major tolerance for lack of comfort.

You must have short legs.

I wish that wasn't down in New Prague or at least if Shumachers were still open. Not sure it's worth a drive to drive it. Contemplating it though.

My problem with the Tundra is that I am comfortable for maybe 10 minutes. Fucking Japanese have no idea how to design a seat. Absolutely terrible. I can almost seeing them laughing and pointing at us: "ha, ha, fuck you whitey. you buy our car for reliability so we fuck you with uncomfortable ass seat."

That method works plenty good. Not as good as an Egg at 600 but still good Or at 800 and above Better have an uber thin crust at that temp And if you use a stone, use a thick one. The crap ass ones like the pampered chef shit are garbage and don't work for jack. When not in use you can plop it upside down (to keep the grease out of the pores) on your gas grill and use it as a surface for holding food or cooking things that fall through the grates.

Play with the flour to adjust the crust to your taste. You will love it, I just hope you have a mixer with a dough hook. Yeah I've got a good ole KitchenAid. I like a chewier crust so I'll be trying it with some bread flour to start. Hopefully I can use the recipe as a starting point and adjust it to my liking. If I get it down I might just have to find a better cooking method. I cook mine on the egg at very high temps. Me too. Although on Sunday I made it in the oven. My oven goes to 550F. Pre-heat for an hour with a 2" x 12" x 12" piece of landscaping slate on the bottom shelf. Works for a nice crusty and chewy crust.

Play with the flour to adjust the crust to your taste. You will love it, I just hope you have a mixer with a dough hook. If not you can do it by hand, but then I'd up the protein in your flour. I like mine kneaded to shit.

I LMAO No, only engineers can access movie data. This is done just in case someone tries to sue the manufacturer, as in the case of Toyota with their infamous "sticking throttles". As techs, we are only supplied a few frames of freeze frame data. But yes, we can also read calibration data and do know if the brain had been flashed. How about piggyback chips that are removed before bringing things in? Nope. They distort incoming and outgoing data, they don't actually manipulate the brain itself. However by removing them all freezeframe data and code info is also lost since the brain is completely powered down (called a battery disconnect) so it is apparent to us that someone has manipulated the system. Newer ECMs will retain information (dubbed mode $10) that can retain more info, but it is brand new and not widely available. I have heard about it and it has been touched on briefly in a class I went to recently, but it is so new and used so sparsely I am not really up to par with it yet. My understanding is it's depth and memory retention is quite vast, up to the past 50 drive cycles worth of retention. FWIW with Euros not really digging the ODBII standards I don't expect them to be in the forefront of these technologies (mode $0X standards are US EPA based standards). Expect them in higher end domestics first. Cool. I will investigate as this may allow me an M without paying for an M. As for the battery disconnect, that I can explain. All sorts of reasons why I pulled the battery

Papi doesn't do so well in most Japanese vehicles. Though I like big SUVs I like them to be mildly capable on questionable dirt roads. And I know 3guys who work on American trucks for me for a song. It would be really tough to pull me away from the 5.4 liter too. Land Cruiser/LX's are more than "mildly" capable And ultra ugly to boot

Ahh the perfect cup of hot brown. LMAO Not perfect, that's a super auto. Nice spouts though.

Might have to do an analog switch and then an a/d

You want analog in, digital out? Have you checked monprice?

I think I posted a pizza recipe on HAF

Normally nice jowel meat at the Seward Co-op. I've used it for carbonara as well. Yummy.

I use the whole egg. The yolk has the richness in it though

I do. I regularly use salt pork instead of pancetta though. In particular when I grab some local shit from Pep's.

And again, resource here. I've been in the same league since 1986. And yep, that was before fantasy football magazines or websites. Adding up scores from the Newspaper ftl

Yay!
