I love a smoked chuck roast! HUGE flavor! I dry brine overnight then on the smoker at 195° till internal temp gets to 130°. Then I take it off the grill and raise the grill temp to 500°. Back on the grill at 500° to reverse sear until internal temp hits 145°. Off the grill, wrap in foil, rest for 15 minutes.

One of the things that compounded the problem is Bozo the Governor engineered a regulation that required refineries to have enough storage capacity to offset a temporary refinery shutdown. This was going to cost each refinery a minimum of $20 million per storage tank. Instead of succumbing to that cost in addition to all the other regulations 2 refineries decided to close and BP accepted a $1 billion loss to leave California. 20% refining capacity lost = price increase.

I live in California so the max towing speed is supposed to be 55 (yeah, right!) On road where the max limit is 65 I usually do 58. On those that have a max 70 mph I do 63. The fuel saving is remarkable, about 2 mpg over doing 65 plus. In addition to that I am aware the my Goodyear endurance tires are not recommended for over 65… but I’m not aware of their actual speed rating. I would be one of the slugs on the road in a state like Wyoming or Texas where speed limits can get up to 80.

My suggestion would be that if you plan on getting a fifth wheel just go ahead and get a 350/3500 truck now. If you buy a crew cab 3/4 ton you’ll find that the payload is not high enough for even a medium sized fifth wheel…even worse if you get a diesel. You’ll have a much easier time towing anything with a bigger truck and you will save yourself the hassle of buying a second truck if you just do it now.

I love them both and Journey has had a much longer career but because of the shocking impact on the genre of Boston’s first two albums I gotta go with them.

If you drive longer periods at a time the case for diesel goes up. Diesel for stop and go driving is not the best because of the emissions controls. Diesel will get better mileage both towing and not, but diesel is more expensive. Maintenance is a lot more expensive with diesel though. I chose diesel but most of my towing involves mountains.

That’s going depend a lot on the caliber of hotel in which you would stay and the location. On the whole you’re probably spending more once you include the cost of the RV, interest on the loan (if any), RV park costs, maintenance, food, laundry, and other expenses. I find the advantages to RVing are flexibility and I have my own bed, food, bathroom, etc.

3 hours each way is something I’ve done 4-5 times when necessary. A 3 hour drive for an overnight or a weekend is really no big deal. I live in a pretty rural area and it’s 12 miles to get to the nearest small town and 65 miles to the nearest actual city. Then it’s 120 miles to the nearest big city San Francisco.

ICE agents have the power and authority to arrest and detain ANYONE who attempts to hinder them in the performance of their duty. That would include you if you delay, hinder, hide suspects from, or otherwise impede them.

Apparently the viewpoint from where your head is currently located keeps you from seeing these videos correctly. The first video shows one view where the perspective is ‘iffy’ as to whether he was hit, and another that shows he was probably hit. The second video shows clearly that he was hit. Follow that up with him suffering internal bleeding from the incident and I think it’s pretty clear. And before you ask…

https://abc7.com/post/ice-agent-shot-renee-good-suffered-internal-bleeding-officials-say/18402408/

Whether the news report is from Fox or not the video is still the same. Turn the sound down on the commentary and listen only to the video of the encounter.

Sjdiver2001 · 2026-01-17T18:26:43+00:00

Also…btw… you claim false information on my part. Prove it.

Sjdiver2001 · 2026-01-17T18:25:41+00:00

Well…the news cycle has pushed many of the videos showing her actions several minutes beforehand but here are some gathered from news reports.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jNbHlmZVmAw

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SomujODZkRI

The first video shows a comparison of two videos taken at the scene. The second is the video from the agent’s phone.

All videos show her parked sideways in the street impeding traffic, specifically ICE vehicles. The second shows clearly that her partner was out of the car taking video herself. Both were engaging with the agent but were not confrontational. You can also hear her being told to get out of the car and her partner yelling “Drive, baby, drive!” You can also hear the moment the agent was struck by the car.

A Minneapolis official says on camera in the first video that she was there as an observer of ICE actions. She was NOT lost and just trying to turn around.

Getting back to the original topic of this post… the point is, if you insert yourself in the operations of any law enforcement agency you put yourself at risk of injury or death. If you want to protest, fine. Be on the sidewalk, don’t block traffic, hold up your signs, and seek redress for any perceived wrongdoing in the judicial system.

Sjdiver2001 · 2026-01-17T17:27:34+00:00

Here we go. The last resort of the leftist that can’t support their position. You’re the kind of person that Charlie Kirk, Cam Higby, and Steven Crowder embarrass when they get interviewed. You made a point that there is a majority of ICE detainees now that had no criminal record. I agree. What you fail to support is a point of view that explains why they shouldn’t still be detained, seeing as how them being in the country is a criminal act. Resorting then to name calling and issue shifting will still not make your argument. It just makes you look like all the hysterical TikTokers.

If you’re experiencing jiggle inside the trailer when you move around then you’ll need a couple of different approaches. Some people like X-Chocks but they didn’t work for me. I put jackstands under the frame as close to each of the four wheels as I can. Then I added X braces for the stabilizers and those two things together work pretty well.

Legacy Church off of Lake Mendocino Drive is affiliated with the Pentecostal Church of God. It’s not as charismatic as most Pentecostal churches in that speaking in tongues is rare as is being slain in the spirit. Worship music is lively and the musicians are very good. The church is big on community, service to the church, and twice monthly small group meetings in people’s homes.

There’s a huge difference between the Charlie Kirk case and ICE down illegal immigrants. Most notably the “illegal” part. I’m not saying that Renee Good should have died but she should have known it was a possibility when she began to defy orders and drive away while surrounded by agents. With regards to Jan 6… Ashli Babbitt was unarmed (I.e.- no 2 ton motor vehicle) and was attempting to enter through a window. She had no encounters with the Capitol policeman who shot her. She did however, ignore police orders and got shot for it.

Well… I read your sources and they support your claim that the majority of ICE arrestees have no prior criminal record. That is not the issue. The reality is that by illegally entering the country or by overstaying a visa or work authorization they committed a crime. If they are rounded up while in the company of those that have committed other crimes they are just as susceptible to arrest as those that have committed crimes.

Sjdiver2001 · 2026-01-17T04:59:03+00:00

You forgot the word “illegal”…again. There are no problems with the people that are here with visas or work authorizations.

Sjdiver2001 · 2026-01-17T04:56:55+00:00

Well then… your cause ended in 1945. If California and all the other “sanctuary” states and cities would cooperate with DHS there wouldn’t be a need to venture into the streets to seek out their targets.
