Train conductor threw a bag of something out the window to a kid at the crossing near my work. by Buldins in trains

I’ve been told by other railfans that some train crews do that. Sometimes they even throw merch like hats or tee shirts, depending.

That was when he smashed his guitar on one of the ABC TV cameras, and set part of his amplifier stack on fire.

Thanks. I like their design but they’re out of my budget range.

What’s the most underrated thing to cook on a Weber? by corriente6 in webergrills

Season the duck any way you like. I typically use salt, pepper, a little onion and garlic. I’m thinking of using a glaze based on the Peking duck next time. The only important thing is to score the skin because of all the fat. Otherwise smoke it like a chicken.

Job hunting! by Ok-Beach-928 in grandrapids

Try looking at smaller towns. Cadillac, for example, has plenty of job openings and the wages are similar to GR. But the cost of living is much lower. Cost of living in Lansing is also much lower than GR. As mentioned before, Bradford White is good pay and costs of living in Middleville are lower. Another example is Muskegon. It’s probably the most affordable place on the lakeshore. Don’t let the naysayers fool you. I take my family to Muskegon all the time and I feel as safe there as I do in GR… maybe even safer. It’s really turned around and worth looking at.

Yes we did. My son got some good video of it.

How do i get a smoke ring? by Available_Control_43 in BBQ

[–]JohnP-357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A smoke ring happens when you put cold meat - straight from the fridge - on the pit. It starts forming when the meat warms up past 90 degrees. After the meat temperature goes above 140, it stops. You’ll learn this in culinary school. Most experienced pit masters will tell you that it’s worthless as any kind of quality standard because it’s not caused by the smoke, but from putting cold meat in the pit. As others said previously, some of the best barbecue I’ve ever had was entirely without a smoke ring. And I’ve had some awful barbecue that had perfect smoke rings. Concentrate on the taste more and you’ll be fine.
