Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I'll take the Trans Am. I had the 72 Formula 455, very similar to the TA but with different hood scoops. That car was a beast. 0 to 60 in 5.something and a top speed of 162 in 4th gear. But then again, I was a lad of 24 years old so what did I know of fear.

I had that problem with the oil plug. Dealer didn't put on a crush gasket and then over-tightened it. I needed an impact wrench to get it loose. Luckily nothing was stripped.

Very nice app. Thanks for it. Is there a way to change the date to a future date? It would be helpful in planning future trips around the tides.

If you'd like some more rabbits, I have 2 families living here. One under my deck and the other under my shed. And both trying to dine on my vegetable garden.

I got a couple of mackerel on Friday on the CQ. I thought I might try smoking the fillets. So basically, I used Damnfish's recipe for smoked bluefish and cut the recipe way down. I used about 1/4 of each of the ingredients and went from there. When it came time to get them on the smoker, I...

I got this same exact spam in my email. It was a failure to pay on my EZPass. Interesting as I just got a statement from EZPass showing a good size available balance. Reported as spam and deleted.

I've taken the old boating safety class three times. Once by myself, once with my wife and a third time with my son when he was around 11 years old. For the life of me I can't find any of the certificates. Of course, the last time was when my son was 11, now he's 43. Does the USCGA or the...

Sushi definitely has to go. The only place raw fish belongs is on my hook.

Hi Crabman, First of all, that pork looks outstanding. Great job. Second, I forgot to mention, if you're planning on smoking any salmon, here's a little known trick. Leave the skin on and before you put it on the smoker, take a knife and slice it almost down to the skin but NOT through the...

1955 Olsdmobile 1955 Oldsmobile Holiday 88. My favorite car of all time.

FWIW, when HomeDepot no longer has the pellets on sale, Lowes has PitBoss brand Competition pellets on sale. 40 lb bag for $16.99. Not like $5 but still a great price. I have a good supply in the shed but I think I'll stock up now. It's easy to use a ton of pellets over the summer.

You guys got me all excited about ribs that I had to make them last night. Here they are. Yum. They were literally fall off the bone. 2 hours smoke with just rub, 2 hours wrapped and 1/2 hour unwrapped in the boats slathered with Sweet Baby Ray BBQ sauce. All at 230 F

I just let my brisket go for a minimum of 8 hours. Then test by feel like you'd do with a steak. BTW, my probe stopped working 2 years ago.

I think that, in time, you'll find that the probe isn't really all that necessary. You'll get a feel for how long it takes to cook something and the internal temp isn't as critical as you might think. I've been smoking for around 20 years, first with a wood smoker and now with the pellet...
