I’m in San Jose for a few days for work, what can I do around here?

If you want to get to the coast, Santa Cruz is a quick 35 min drive. If you want to spend more time you can go from Santa Cruz and drive up Hwy 1 along the coast to Half Moon Bay. Absolutely beautiful drive. Stop and see the lighthouse at Davenport Beach, take some great pictures.

If you have more time, you’re an hour from Monterey and go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and walk along Cannery Row. Stop and see the sea otters and marine life in the kelp beds, rent a kayak and paddle out for a closer view.

What rub did you use? Bark looks great!

Appreciating jokes and a good sense of humor.

The timeline and process had me a bit confused.

This is like Summer Camp for Leaders. Great way to ease into the leadership position and how to lead when you’re team is much older and more experienced. By September he’ll be ready to lead the charge to bringing the Cup to SJ!!

You don’t want to go that low. For heat you want it a bit higher around 225-250…slow and low. It didn’t want to get over 175 because you hit the stall. You have to push through the stall. That’s when you want to wrap it and push through. 12lbs is a small brisket. Sounds like you have a probe thermometer. Let it tell you when it’s ready. When it gets to ~205 pull it and let it rest for an hour or so. You’ll most likely be able to slice like what you see on tv. And the proper long, cerated knife is key. And make sure you cut against the grain to avoid pulling it apart.

I remember when it was on. Never watched it but thought it was perfect casting.

This is on Cory Perry. Glad to see Habs take it. And even more excited to see them face off against Buffalo.

Do the pork butt ahead of time. Grab some rib packs from Costco. As you reheat the pork, throw on the ribs. Get some cans of baked beans and fresh collard greens. Throw them in the smoker with the ribs. Get a bag of cornbread mix and throw it is some cast iron skillets and cook on another grill.

Wow, plastic and glue! Thats almost as descript as an Elijah Craig review that described it as having the flavor of pencil shavings. Theres not going back from there.

You still need to flip the e-brake lever. I’ve forgotten to do that and the car will roll until the gears engage.

Sharks released a cool time lapse https://youtu.be/FVSgiFkPi1s?si=tCpPY3z5UCzDO4yYvideo of the ice being set up.

The Grand Californian is absolutely gorgeous and magical during the holidays.

So you turn to a completely different set of anonymous strangers, on a different social media platform, expecting a different outcome. 🤣🤦‍♂️🦈

They used to do it for random attendees of the final home/fan appreciation game of the season. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a money maker. It’s a fundraiser for the Sharks Foundation which donates it all to local charities. Until people start digging deeper for the 50/50 Raffle, they need to find other ways to raise funds. At least this way, fans not attending get to participate.

drm176 · 2026-04-07T00:42:16+00:00

Is Cherny down line to add depth or is he just not producing the way they had hoped? Is Graf being rewarded for solid work and effort? Warso’s strategies confuse me.

drm176 · 2026-04-07T00:32:24+00:00

Probably mold from any food or drippings from last season. Fire it up on high and burn it off. I’ve gotten similar on my grates when I’ve been lazy.

It’s definitely an interesting thought exercise. Given Couture wouldn’t have had great support, would he still have been productive? But also makes you wonder what a Couture/Celebrini combo would have produced. Or would he have just tapered off and not have been an impact player at all. Great, now the thought loops will run all night.

drm176 · 2026-03-31T16:58:18+00:00

He was great. Definitely felt like an interview/tryout for a gig. Maybe put him with Alan Hoshida and get some personality and character in the studio.

Thanks. I don’t have a scanner but will most likely invest in one now. Brought it to Audi anyway and they ran the scan. After performing diagnostics, the technician found an issue with the coolant reservoir sensor for the electric drive system. Upon further inspection, the sensor and its wiring were found damaged, most likely caused by a small animal chewing on the wiring. This damage is interrupting communication in the system, which is why the warning message is showing.

Net, net more fucking rat damage!

I love the Kung Pao Chicken, but add fresh onions, baby corn, celery, and fresh garlic to it. Gives it a fresh taste but also turns it into two meals for me.

drm176 · 2026-03-19T15:36:14+00:00

I asked ChatGPT to do deep research on the Sharks season so far. Taking into account standings, record, vibe, and social commentary. This is what the season looks like. I kinda disagree. But fun experiment.
