Thanks all!   :cheers: Sorry for the delay in getting back on here.  With mowing season in full swing, i've been busier that a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.  Good for the money, rough on the body. lol

A little Spatchcock Chicken for lunch.  Went on the UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker) about 9:30, and the internal temp hit 165-F about 11:40. Smoked it at 260-degrees, then flipped it over and bumped the temp up to about 320 for the last 20-minutes (to crisp the skin). I used a little too much dry rub...

Happy Birthday, Dr. T! :cheers: Had to stop by and say hello to you on this special day.

A stress-relieving way to spend an afternoon, Ozzy. Yes - been busy (and short-handed) at work, family member in the hospital again, and I just needed an afternoon away from it all.

Already had the transmitter, receiver, servos, motor, all of it.  All I actually bought new was  4x8 sheet of 1/2" foam board and another pack of low-temp glue sticks.  Literally a $3 investment on my part. :lol: If you really want to build one, i've got enough parts and pieces to help you...

Thanks, Ron! For a few years now, i've been buying planes instead of scratch building.  Along the way -  people have given me old, crashed, or non-working planes for me to part out.  Now i'm building a few with scavenged (and nearly free) parts and a trip to Lowes or the local hardware store...

A short video clip of it flying this afternoon. (Sunday, 11/22/15) Here

Actually, it's called 'The Nutball' - a 24" flying disc. Simple 3-channel control (Rudder, Elevator, and Throttle) and super cheap to build - this one is made from 1/2" foam board. It's a quick build using low-temp hot glue, is ugly as can be, but the potential exists for many hours of fun.  Not...

Bedroom tube headphone amp is incredible.  Accurate, tight, fantastic highs & lows (no tone adjustments, none are needed), and still a nice 'Tube' sound to smooth out cd's. Living room setup is older-school (mid 80's, early 90's). My receiver was made just before Pioneer went all plastic.  That...

Living Room setup: Pioneer Elite VSX-79 Receiver Vintage Sony CDP-302 CD Player Pioneer-PD-M40 CD Player / 6-Disc Changer Realistic Mach One Speakers. (with a pair of old-school big-box 15" woofers, no sub-woofer needed.) 8)

Bedroom setup: A Project Starlight Tube headphone amp running a Genalex Gold Lion 12AU7. Sony SCD-CE595 SACD/CD player. Pioneer SE-A1000 Headphones. (full size / over the ear) Pic is not mine, camera on my phone decided not to auto-focus anymore. lol

That means only vegetarians and vegans will get discounts on their insurance - in the very near future.

Escudo in my new Moretti Rhodesian. Man, this thing just keeps getting better.

Still a plausible theory.   Dutch does travel across the country on a regular basis, and makes many stops along the way.  :twisted:

You son of a gun, I thought that name/addy was you! Man, that was way too much, but it's greatly appreciated. Don't worry about the pipe, as she's already in regular rotation. The FMC smokes great in it, and I have an unopened tin of Erinmore Flake just waiting to be cracked open today...

Hey - whatever works. Either way, they are both damn fine pipes.

I'm now on my 2nd bowl of FMC 2000 in my new Moretti Rhodesian. Man - this thing smokes like a dream and it isn't even broke in.

I feel the same way, Rande. I mean - who just bombs Brothers with Moretti pipes?   Yes indeed, the plot has thickened.  :twisted:

And he's not talking about Santa Claus.   Though this guys gives out much better gifts than Santa - or so i've heard. 8) Honestly i'm still blown away by the generosity. I'd have been happy to receive a good MM Cob.  :D
