Lucky? Back when I got this job no it was not luck at all. It just took some effort combined with the desperation of “I’ll take what I can get”. Given current circumstances now, ya, I am probably lucky to have this job. My life fell apart before too Bob. My income went from six figures to nothing over a few months. Ya know what I did? I tried a few things out. Tried to work for myself and it didn’t work. I couldn’t find any clients. I tried the truck driving thing, didn’t work out because that is the most boring thing I have ever done, then when I was getting close to being in trouble and couldn’t pay my bills you know what I did? I went and found a god damned job that was open. As a fucking janitor. Was it what I wanted to do? Not even close. Was I over qualified? Ya. Did I try to be the best god damned janitor I could be? You’re damn right I did. Did everyone at the place I work at ask why I was a janitor because they knew I was not the janitor type? Yes. Could I pay my own bills? Ya. A year and a half later after making a bit of effort to find a job just to pay my bills and keep the electricity on I am the supervisor of all the maintenance guys who used to ask me why I took a job as a janitor. Is that luck? Or was that effort and hard work? No I am not making what I used to make and most likely never will again in my life but I can pay my bills. Life goes on.

Good stuff. From the birth of my kid it’s always been “make hay while the sun shines”.
Yikes. I went sailing yesterday looking for whales. We got lucky and encountered a cow with a calf and then later 2-3 bulls. When they noticed us they put on a bit of a show with spy hopping once and a couple of jumps and splashes. Even a couple of hundred yards away those jumps are impressive. We were safety conscious and left the rum home for G&T’s.
While we were out we decided on a great social distancing strategy. Take a couple of days off of work and sail to Molokai, Lanai and Maui. Four days or so staying dozens of miles from the diseased.
Still daylight here.
Oh yeah last night I went out and found the latest comet. Still not much to see but it may turn into a eye visible event next month.

Well the governor announced yesterday he was killing the economy of the state by enacting a 14 day quarantine for any non Hawaii resident entering the island starting Mar 26th until a date TBD.
The head of Honolulu County just off TV after saying “Hold my beer.” by announcing starting the 24th until April 30th he was closing all non essential business and ordering people to stay home.
This is exactly what panic looks like. I spent a career trying to induce panic into my enemies since it made them easier to kill. These stupid MF’s just dropped a primed grenade into their own foxhole to kill the economy.

a cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America.
I borrowed & downloaded it.
But I also borrowed & downloaded Huck Finn in case the other is too close to the current news cycle for comfort.

Pay attention to the gripes and one star reviews (or, whatever system is at play). See if the complaints are one-offs, centered on the sales end of things, or, if there’s an underlying theme. Also, watch out for positives that are only based on newly-purchased items. “Had it a week, and everything seems great!” is probably not worth a damn in appliances.
Plus, there’s always trusted personal experience–if Yusef has the kind of experience I think he has, listen to him.

The newish refrig that came with our house is a Frigidaire. The ice dispenser is a piece of crap – ice either gets stuck (sometimes leaving the flap open which is GREAT for the freezer) or about twenty pieces come out at once. I have no idea what’s wrong with the design, because it seems like it’s the same screw feeder system as my previous refrig but for that, I can’t recommend it. It’s so annoying.

My Kenmore lasted 28 years. I don’t expect a new one to last that long.

There’s usually a chute at the very end. Sometimes it gets clogged up with cubes. Then they all come out at once. Ask me how I know. ?

We have a full bathroom and shower and had reserved a full hookup site, so we’re good for now. I feel bad for the folks I already am seeing boondocking at WalMart parking lots because the sites they had were closed. Our full summer, from mid-June through the beginning of August has already been booked, so I’m praying we get enough of a handle on the virus that I don’t have to change my plans.

You tube must think I am a perv aeronautical freak. Not that that is far off base, but just saying. Good thing I am not signed in there when clicking HM or TedS links. That might crash the system.

In keeping with my whinge about online movies and all that, I would like to suggest: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9561862/ on netflix, if you have the time. Most of the stories are under 15 minutes each, out of 18 episodes. Pretty good and diverse styles of animation and live action. I don’t think anyone given to trying it out will be disappointed.

I am too late for bbq advice. Damn.
If you like a sweet sauce try mixing some fruit preserves in your sauce. I use muscadine but grape would be a decent substitute. Apricot is damned good. Nearly any fruit would do…cherry and blackberry is good also.
Add other usual ingredients and be certain to add in some hot pepper flavor.

Kumquat Marmalade is what people call me in Tangier.
Wife does a better job o fit than I do. I just consulted her.
Jelly, jam or marmelade
a bit of catsup
hot sauce
Worcestershire
garlic
Also the meat/chicken is pre-rubbed with a cajun dry rub (hot)
The Jelly rub is slathered on the top side of the meat/leg quarters about five minutes before taking it off of the grill so that it turns to a glaze but doesn’t burn.
straffinrun
on March 23, 2020 at 6:49 am
Went OK. Rubbed with brown sugar, garlic salt, pepper etc. Put on a cooking sheet, covered with foil and in the oven at 150C (300F) for about 2.5 hours. Wife found some BBQ sauce at an import store, so I slathered them and broiled for another 5 minutes. Tasted good, but the bottoms of the ribs were a bit burnt. The ribs were already cut and not in a rack. Maybe I should’ve turned them over after and hour?

I’m rather surprised that I can’t tell the difference between the model painted with “Black Templar” over “Basilicanum Gray” versus the one painted with “Basilicanum Gray” over “Black Templar” It’s paint, order of operations should matter.
So, is that then a paint issue, or, an eye issue?
Like I can tell.
it’s called Black,
Ebony
Midnight Black
Dark Black
Bla
Bla
Bla
you know I know…
Thing is, you can easily tell the difference when either one is independantly used.
I do get that, and it sucks……
I recommend an Ott light.
Hey! we are Modeling here, none of your Fancy light Miracles please!
/Much love
Hey, us old people gotta be able to see our tiny hobbies, dude. I almost cried the day I had to get clip-on magnifying specs for my embroidery.
If I can’t tell them apart under normal lighting, no one is going to call me out on the difference.
I could have saved myself the trouble of re-running the color test if I’d just looked up The last test results it has the order of operations listed in the description.
You know, I was gonna comment, but I’ve changed what I’m gonna say. With your understanding of paint and colors, you can always fall back on autobody.

Work is eerily quiet tonight. Maybe everybody has turned into coronazombies.
I’ve started a story with viral zombies. The format is a riff off of the epistilory format, but with a guy making internet videos. So sometimes it’s him talking to camera, and sometimes it’s bodycam footage (so there can be fight scenes)
Have you seen the Bill Murrey zombie movie that came out last year? The Dead Don’t Stay Dead, or whatever. Mildly amusing, but didn’t break any new ground.
I stopped paying any attention to movies. Haven’t been to a theater since 2008, haven’t watched any recently released films since then, only older stock.
Yep
The only thing that catches my attention is the occasional genre piece like “Arrival” or “Interstellar”. You’d think I would have heard of a Bill Murray zombie movie. Nope.
Came out last year. It might produce a chuckle or possibly a chortle.
I could use one or two of those.
Didn’t they kill Bill Murray in Zombieland?
Here’s my question about zombies. What mitochondrial functions are still in place that allows them energy to move about? With little energy input.
Also, since the amygdala handles “reptilian” base functions, with their brains ruined- who controls what ?
Ozy knows…
Sup Tres!
You might be overthinking the whole concept. Zombies require faith. It is mentioned in Hebrews. 1:11 of 11:1 I can’t remember.
They partied in Jerusalem for the resurrection.
Only the living ones need energy. After they die, postmortem abulation takes over.

Yes it is. If I had to work tomorrow I would be asleep by now.
You have work? Lucky Guy…
I have work tomorrow. Trying to keep my two employees working as long as possible. I may have to find a smaller shop to rent.
Lucky? Back when I got this job no it was not luck at all. It just took some effort combined with the desperation of “I’ll take what I can get”. Given current circumstances now, ya, I am probably lucky to have this job. My life fell apart before too Bob. My income went from six figures to nothing over a few months. Ya know what I did? I tried a few things out. Tried to work for myself and it didn’t work. I couldn’t find any clients. I tried the truck driving thing, didn’t work out because that is the most boring thing I have ever done, then when I was getting close to being in trouble and couldn’t pay my bills you know what I did? I went and found a god damned job that was open. As a fucking janitor. Was it what I wanted to do? Not even close. Was I over qualified? Ya. Did I try to be the best god damned janitor I could be? You’re damn right I did. Did everyone at the place I work at ask why I was a janitor because they knew I was not the janitor type? Yes. Could I pay my own bills? Ya. A year and a half later after making a bit of effort to find a job just to pay my bills and keep the electricity on I am the supervisor of all the maintenance guys who used to ask me why I took a job as a janitor. Is that luck? Or was that effort and hard work? No I am not making what I used to make and most likely never will again in my life but I can pay my bills. Life goes on.

Yikes. I went sailing yesterday looking for whales. We got lucky and encountered a cow with a calf and then later 2-3 bulls. When they noticed us they put on a bit of a show with spy hopping once and a couple of jumps and splashes. Even a couple of hundred yards away those jumps are impressive. We were safety conscious and left the rum home for G&T’s.
While we were out we decided on a great social distancing strategy. Take a couple of days off of work and sail to Molokai, Lanai and Maui. Four days or so staying dozens of miles from the diseased.
Still daylight here.
Oh yeah last night I went out and found the latest comet. Still not much to see but it may turn into a eye visible event next month.

oh man, now I’m really sad. We were supposed to be in Maui for a week, starting today. For all the times I’ve been to Hawaii, I’ve never seen whales, so I was hoping this trip I’d finally get to see some. Bummer.
The last time I was there I missed a picture of a whale fluke in the air right behind my sis and bro in law by like a second of snapping the picture. We caught no tuna or mahi that day but lots of whales.
Well the governor announced yesterday he was killing the economy of the state by enacting a 14 day quarantine for any non Hawaii resident entering the island starting Mar 26th until a date TBD.

Samsung/LG
“I’m not sure which reviews to believe.”
Why, the ones that agree with your preheld assumptions, of course.
An elegant solution
Pay attention to the gripes and one star reviews (or, whatever system is at play). See if the complaints are one-offs, centered on the sales end of things, or, if there’s an underlying theme. Also, watch out for positives that are only based on newly-purchased items. “Had it a week, and everything seems great!” is probably not worth a damn in appliances.
Plus, there’s always trusted personal experience–if Yusef has the kind of experience I think he has, listen to him.
The newish refrig that came with our house is a Frigidaire. The ice dispenser is a piece of crap – ice either gets stuck (sometimes leaving the flap open which is GREAT for the freezer) or about twenty pieces come out at once. I have no idea what’s wrong with the design, because it seems like it’s the same screw feeder system as my previous refrig but for that, I can’t recommend it. It’s so annoying.
My Kenmore lasted 28 years. I don’t expect a new one to last that long.
I’m not a big fan of ice makers because they seem to add extra stuff to fail. I’ve seen many improved designs that didn’t work as well as the original.
There’s usually a chute at the very end. Sometimes it gets clogged up with cubes. Then they all come out at once. Ask me how I know. ?
My 10-year-old Samsung has never had a single problem.
My Whirlpool from Costco is complete garbage and I hate it. The only reason I haven’t gotten rid of it is that I’m procrastinating on pulling the trigger on a full kitchen remodel – which should happen any day now since the economy is doing great and I can easily afford that sort of thing OHWAITWHUTFUCK!!!
What model, J? I want to be sure to avoid it, if it’s trash.
Looked at Whirlpool and Frigidaire units earlier today and didn’t get a warm fuzzy. Samsungs and LGs have good reviews but LGs are backorder so looks like Samsung.
I have an 8-year-old Whirlpool. Bare-bones but still humming along.

/guy who pulled the trigger a couple weeks before the Corona panic
Will find out tomorrow if the state of Virginia will just say ‘fuck it’, throw up their hands and close schools through the end of the school year. If they do, I will be severely tempted to go on the road. The travel trailer is ready to go, and I’m fortunate that my company is doing quite well in the midst of a nationwide panic and I already work from home full time. RV camping is pretty ideal for social distancing, and I think I might spend some of my spare hours sewing a few masks based on Joann’s patterns.
Local cities here are starting to order shutdowns of RV campgrounds to stop escape tourism, along with already shut down state/federal campgrounds with group sites. I would expect that to spread.
They’ll have to gate all the Forest Service roads up here.
I golfed with several kid from Cali, as soon as the shut down came, they left to Mom’s house in AZ, see how that works…..
Yes, already got a call from the state campground in WVa that we had booked for spring break. They’re closing all bath houses, and other common areas, and if you aren’t self-contained, your reservations will be canceled and refunded. We have a full bathroom and shower and had reserved a full hookup site, so we’re good for now. I feel bad for the folks I already am seeing boondocking at WalMart parking lots because the sites they had were closed. Our full summer, from mid-June through the beginning of August has already been booked, so I’m praying we get enough of a handle on the virus that I don’t have to change my plans. Reservations at Yellowstone were a bitch to arrange.

I said as much upthread, Solidarity Brother!
Much too dangerous to go outside. We probably need to take away your internet so that lies don’t get spread. Oh, and I’m gonna need to you turn in your guns. Much too dangerous.
Since I posted that YT thing, me & Jugsy watched “Gung Ho”.
I do work with Toyota and Isuzu and she didnt understand when I giggled at weird parts- cause I was like “thats how THEY are”
And then again, “cause thats how WE are.”

Certainly.

1990s: The decade of the really awesomely awesome movies. I spent a lot of time in the movie theaters in the 90s. I’d go see 3 or 4 in one afternoon.
This is why I had the comment about wishing we had an online glibs video library during this home-prison situation.
If I can figure out how to share files from my personal cloud server and restrict other things, I’ll see what I can do.
Oh, don’t attempt that on my account. Besides–I was pining for something where we all could pitch in, as it seems lots of us might have movies and whatnot that aren’t in current rotation, outside of rentals and obscure services.
Any tips for video compressing software. After I recorded my lecture for tomorrow, I noticed my videos are very large, as in hundreds of MB for a few minutes of video.
Even Window Movie Maker will do that for you, I use it,and it’s free
I spent time just the other night trying to compress my GFs video, and all it would reduce it by was 1%. I’m guessing I would’ve had ti set up outlook for her gmail account for it to work properly, and fyck that
Thanks. I’ll try that for my next batch of videos.
Handbrake?
aaah, that is the name. That is a good piece of software there. I was trying to remember what to use to compress files the other day when a coworker asked but it has been a few years since I sat in front of a computer for work.
Yeah, I used to use it to rip DVDs but ISTR it does lots of things.
Yeah, it’s a good tool. I got a lot of use out of it just for transcoding mkv video files to mp4.
FWIW, I’ve found it a bit flaky on Win10 but rock solid in Linux. Given Win10, YMMV.

Thanks for the blossom pics. Much appreciated.
Good. Felt a little bad posting that given how many glibs are getting locked down these days. The blossoms DGAF.
Do they have any vehicles not black or white?
Right there in the middle, that squashed van is blue.
Barely. On my screen it’s black with a slight hint of blue and that is only if I zoom in.
My extended two-week spring break is over. I was able to put in 100 hours in two weeks. Now that I don’t need to spend 10 hours per week driving to campus, I should be able to put in more part-time hours until the end of the semester.
Can’t help feeling we’re falling without a parachute. Makes it kind of hard to focus on what to make for dinner tomorrow.

So, I want to think that I understand the celebrity machine in Hollyowod juuust a smidge more after seeing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2jDyostXAc
Just a name: Tom Arnold.
Watched for a bit but can’t listen to someone ramble on like Tom.
This is true–I waited for Fleccas to get some words in. He is very patient, but, you kinda have to be if you are going to give Arnold any attention.
But, the fact that he is a celebrity, regardless of
who he marriedhow he got there, tells me some interesting things about how that machine works. Or, doesn’t.I now want nothing more than to see Tom Arnold smothered with a pillow. I can’t believe I sat through that whole spittle-flecked rant; it was like arguing with a toddler.
Speaking of, what do you think will be his mode of death? VD? DUI accident? Heart attack? I mean, I guess ‘terminal stupidity’ in on the table, but, what form?
Falls off the wagon and goes on a coke bender until his heart explodes?
Or, picks a fight with an inebriated John Goodman at the Mardi Gras.
Interesting choices.
I like the first one better, as I wouldn’t wish that on John.
good mornig glibbies.
Week 3 of working from home. The weather sucks. The corona is growing but who knows. It is fucking snowing. No fruit this year as I had suspected.
What is snow? i heard of frosty things falling from the sky, like that?
it is something that poisons apricot tree blooms
Damn! I like Apricots!
Seriously Pie, the austere Beauty of the Arizona Desert would blow your mind, and the Weather is nice right now OMWC is full of Shit
Honestly maybe but I generally don’t like flatland
Then you’ll love Arizona. There are very few spots in the entire state that you can’t see mountain ranges. Hell there is a ski resort above Tucson that you see Mexico from.
Remember all those John Ford westerns? Filmed in Arizona and Tucson.
Highest spot is above tree line at 12, 633 go to the moon feet.
Saguaro cactus and roadrunners? Arizona again.
AZ is one of the most scenic places on Earth.
Thanks for saying what needed to be said
Oh, and Grand Canyon AND Sedona.
Rotary Park BhC, on the River, a Gem in the Desert…
And Utah. Arches is amazing at sunset.
There is no Arizona.
Mt Lemmon. I did some work up there.
I used to live just north of there out in the desert a few miles east of Sahuarita. Damn beautiful country
There actually is some flatland in Arizona but you REALLY have to know where to look for it – and most of that is just spillover from north/central New Mexico.
well when I read austere desert I assumed flatland, I don’t think there are Shara style dunes in the US. I am not sure what kind of desert is in Arizona though
I mean there are pics like this, uglee

*meep, meep!*
There are dunes but way south. Or was that in CA. Don’t remember. We have dunes in CO and you can see real mountains from them. AZ is a beautiful place though. The one thing I will tell anyone to do, is float the Grand Canyon if you can. The bottom of that canyon on the CO river is a life changing experience. This is coming from someone who has had numerous outdoors life changing experiences.
First picture is in western AZ in the Sonora Desert. The sharp peak in the background is Kofa peak. The second picture is AZ again on the Colorado Plateau. It is on the Navajo Rez and is called Monument Valley. The prominent butte in the foreground is the “Left Mitton”.
Monument Valley of course is where John Ford (and others) made a number of films.

Ya gross bitchez…
I was looking for some cool music to link but I think it was a Tres link that made me sign in to you tube and now the only thing in my side bar is stuff like this and plane videos. You tube must think I am a perv aeronautical freak. Not that that is far off base, but just saying. Good thing I am not signed in there when clicking HM or TedS links. That might crash the system.
KK and I love plane Porn, maybe a coincidence!
KK likes big planes. I was on a bush plane binge a few weeks ago. Not sure how the track girls got there I must have been drunk on those searches or maybe AI now runs you tube and it knows me.
This makes we wonder if pole-to-cootch incidents are a thing, like pole-to-sac incidents are.
But, I ain’t looking that shit up (at work).
Kinky!
All fun until they snap a pole.

I think i’m in pissed Mode, She left me me high and dry, alone, and all this shit to clean up, thanks Wife…..
Hey Yusef! I don’t know if you saw my post – the Air Force shut down Space-Available travel for us retirees so my US trip is cancelled.
Now I’m really pissed.
That sucks, I had dreams of a party, But I guess you Space guys aren’t critical, good Fortune anyway!
I was dreaming about what kinds of tall cans I could score on my way down. Dreaming of the road and being armed like a proper adult male. Building a few AK’s.
Well, shit. Sorry to hear that, Te.
Yeah, I haven’t been back to the US for a year and a half. Unusual for me. I try to get some balance between being here and being there.
I had been planning this trip for months but as the panic in the US kept rising I wasn’t sure if it would happen.
Maybe better. Japan is about to require a 14 day quarantine on arrival from the US, possibly an outright ban (wouldn’t affect you with a residency permit?).
Back ribs on sale, but no BBQ sauce in any of the stores. Fuckin Japan. Would you think less of me if I used McD’s nugget sauce instead?
It’s American, go for it….
Got an idea for seasoning? It’s always substitution time when I try Western food.
Garlic salt on one side, Ater reaching temp, Salt on the other, then let them cook inn the sauce for a while
What is this “sauce” of which you speak?
Dry rub is the one true path. It is known.
Under 2 hours. Whaddaya got?
First, find a recipe on-line with ingredients you can find. I cheat and get them from the base commissary.
Second, after rubbing on the ingredients pressure cook for 20 minutes.
Third, grill with charcoal/briquets/wood product.
Firing up the grill at our mansion isn’t really an option.
Dude. If we didn’t live on extreme ends of the city I would have you and your family over sometime(s) for a real BBQ on our rooftop. I’d love to plan that someday if feasible in any way for y’all.
Or at least let me bring you a care package from the base.
No kidding. It’s sad, but I get to break out the grill when we go camping.
Gotta Go with what ya got bra…
And my first attempt at ribs. Thx, Yusef and TJ.
One problem – ribs take time to get right unless you have a pressure cooker to speed up the process. They simply won’t be fall-off-the-bone ready without one or the other.
Don’t they use it on McRibs? I mean…ya gotta eat.
Ask for that Szechuan sauce–let ’em know you’re a Rick & Morty fan.
Ketchup, brown sugar, soy, garlic powder, onion powder, S&P, hot sauce, liquid smoke if you have it = BBQ sauce.
And vinegar, don’t forget the vinegar.
So much time, so few ingredients
If those aren’t in the kitchen well, I have no advice.. That is a basic of the basicest bbq sauces. My personal fave starts with simmering down some Coke. The soda not the snorting off a hookers ass stuff.
That’s what I’m trying. Pressure is on.
Good luck!
Minus ketchup and smoke that’s pretty much the chicken marinade I made today. Too bad I overcooked it.
*the chicken
I find ketchup (store bought) is sugary enough already without adding any extra.
My smokers cough all of a sudden has infection taste, Not Fucking cool
My advice is to not get sick, and if you don’t follow that advice, then please at least follow the second piece of advice, which is to get well.
Mine is bad in the morning (afternoon for day walkers) but clears up when I start moving about.
In keeping with my whinge about online movies and all that, I would like to suggest: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9561862/ on netflix, if you have the time. Most of the stories are under 15 minutes each, out of 18 episodes. Pretty good and diverse styles of animation and live action. I don’t think anyone given to trying it out will be disappointed.
Concur. Highly recommend

A young Tara Reid?
Would.
Too bad she went all anorexic and now more closely resembles the Crypt Keeper.
Not everyone can age gracefully like Kate B. or Famke.
Her alleged alcoholism and drug abuse probably didn’t help.
…Same thing happened to Monica Keena. I use to adore that woman but hard living took its toll.
I dunno, I tried to find some recent pictures of Keena and from what I can see she looks pretty good. Falsies, though? Eh. Ain’t tea bag.

Re: TH’s photo….it is the filthy feet that really give it that final touch.
I like the Rape Whistle on her absurdly huge set of keys.
Y’know, I actually image searched Tara Reid before posting that then felt bad about what I saw and decided to leave it blank. Something about her younger self seems to just epitomize “hot trash”.
It’s the raspy smoker’s voice that really sets it off.
My dream girl is a young-ish Bernadette Peters but she still looks not bad if you have enough beers in you.

Have we walled off NY yet? If not, why?
the water makes it difficult.
Blow the bridges up. (No offense UCS or other NY Glibs.)
Are you talking about the whole state? Why not just the city, like in that Kurt Russel movie. We can use it as a prison for the criminally insane.
Hrm…I think I meant just the city…No offense to NYC Glibs.
It’s early and my brain needs time to boot up.
Please safely extract our beloved Epsteins (Gene and Richard), and their families, before doing this.
I am too late for bbq advice. Damn.
If you like a sweet sauce try mixing some fruit preserves in your sauce. I use muscadine but grape would be a decent substitute. Apricot is damned good. Nearly any fruit would do…cherry and blackberry is good also.
Add other usual ingredients and be certain to add in some hot pepper flavor.
I have also used kumquat marmalade.
Kumquat Marmalade is what people call me in Tangier.

I’ve prepared for work listening to far worse.
Danka
; )
Wife does a better job o fit than I do. I just consulted her.
Jelly, jam or marmelade
a bit of catsup
hot sauce
Worcestershire
garlic
Also the meat/chicken is pre-rubbed with a cajun dry rub (hot)
The Jelly rub is slathered on the top side of the meat/leg quarters about five minutes before taking it off of the grill so that it turns to a glaze but doesn’t burn.
Went OK. Rubbed with brown sugar, garlic salt, pepper etc. Put on a cooking sheet, covered with foil and in the oven at 150C (300F) for about 2.5 hours. Wife found some BBQ sauce at an import store, so I slathered them and broiled for another 5 minutes. Tasted good, but the bottoms of the ribs were a bit burnt. The ribs were already cut and not in a rack. Maybe I should’ve turned them over after and hour?
Yep. And slathered the other side.
Glad they were OK. I was scratching my head because I have no idea what ingredients are available there. Threw in the suggestion of the fruit preserves because not many people do that and I find the sweet/hot combo quite delicious. Might be worth a try.
It’s still baked pork at the end of the day. Kid won’t eat spicy food, but she loved the ribs. Next time I’ll throw in jam. Thanx.
Ugh. Four inches of slushy goodness fell overnight. The drive home was an adventure because they retired the plows a week ago and decided to start sweeping the streets instead. Don’t these cuntes know where we live? That’s three times this winter that I’ve had to drive the speed limit at 3AM.
Good part was no traffic except for logging trucks going in the opposite direction. Those assholes are the worst.
I fully expect my commute to be pretty much traffic free, yet taking the same or more time because of getting pulled over once or twice to see why I’m out and about during the apocalypse.
God, humanity is so disappointing me right now.
I wonder if we are having that sort of thing here. Today: pharmacy -> grocery store -> home. The same trip I usually make when I get out. The sooner I can get it over with, the better.
Afterwards I will probably start day drinking and then a nap.
*A couple of young guys showed up yesterday afternoon and started shooting on an adjacent property. I couldn’t see them but I could tell what they were shooting: first a large caliber semi-auto pistol, then an AK, then a bolt large cartridge rifle then….I dunno what. A cannon? Whatever it was it was rattling my windows. They only fired it twice….whatever it was I guess one shot each was enough.
