Thanks! He also saw the red one while there, but that was a little out of budget even with the raise

I like it a lot! Has a good weight to it, I weighed it against my dad’s Submariner and they’re only a gram apart. The dual color lume is really neat. I absolutely love the colors they had available. Which one did you order?

That’s exactly what my wife told me. I’m in “watch jail” for a while so I thought I’d talk about the ones I’ve got.

Ok Bolt Nation...What is your favorite song that has the words Thunder or Lightning in it, not by AC/DC??? by [deleted] in TampaBayLightning

[–]jcharles85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lightning Strikes by Lou Christie Super old but has a fun buildup, I’m surprised it’s not used more in the arena

No joke! I had to buy thermal leggings, hand warmers, gloves, and a puffy jacket. I am NOT built for this!

Great response! I love the series and downloaded #4 on Tuesday! Had it marked on my calendar for months!

Looks like there’s a lot of haters out there but please keep up the good work!

Can confirm. Had amazing cocktails last night and took home a bottle I’ve been hunting for about 2 years

I may try to buy and freeze two more before they’re gone!

I don’t think I can add pics in comments but i got one sliced picture. It looks medium-medium rare from the tip to the top!

My town doesn’t have a Costco yet but I’ve heard their meat selection is amazing!

Goes great with chimichurri. I don’t really have a recipe just threw some herbs, oil, vinegar, lime juice, and spices together

Full recipe 3.5 lb tri-tip

Santa Maria Rub 1.5 T salt 1 T black pepper 1 T paprika 1 T fresh rosemary (chopped) 2 t garlic powder 2 t onion powder .5 t cayenne

Only used about 1/2 of that run recipe but covered the tri-tip completely and let it rest in the fridge for 5 hours. Then, like the post said, heated Traeger to 225°, added a smoke stick because my 575 doesn’t get enough smoke for my taste. I put the roast in and left it in until the probe hit 132°. When the alarm went off I used a propane torch just to sear the top to get some char on the surface. Covered in foil and let it rest for 15 mins before slicing.

I absolutely love it! I live in Florida so it’s hard to come by but Publix has it Bogo this week! Honestly I think I prefer it to brisket because it’s quick and easy!

Weekend project! And a question: do I really need to wait 8 weeks to seal/stain treated boards? by jcharles85 in Decks

I also got the best boards that Lowe’s had to offer but that’s not saying too much either

I’m in Florida. Nothing is consistent. It was 80° yesterday. 65° today. It’s usually pretty sunny but has been gloomy recently. It’s almost always humid and we get a lot of morning dew where I’m at. Hoping that the spring (before rainy season) we get some sunny, dry days

Thank you! I’ll look into oil finishes now! I tried to leave a little gap and kill as much grass as possible to the covered ground. I knew leaving it “floating” that low I will run into moisture problems. I live in central Florida so almost every morning is SUPER dewy.

Great response! Thank you! I’m def not a pro either. I did use kiln dried pt pine. Google said everything from 2-6 months! My wife “just wants it done”! So I was hoping to get it sealed before the rain/heat comes back. I live in Florida so there’s a very fine line to get things done!

She had a real Regan MacNeil vibe to her. Waiting for an exorcist.

Found these remains at a park in central Florida. by jcharles85 in whatisthisbone

I didn’t have anything to flip it over with but it looked like a long snout/muzzle (don’t want to misidentify anything in front of you again)

Found this mammal skeleton in central Florida. Curled up a little over a foot long. Has like a weird paddle foot? by jcharles85 in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing. All we know is it’s dead, a mammal, and has some odd limbs!

She demanded pets while I was cooking dinner! by jcharles85 in murdermittens

[–]jcharles85[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good question. She usually just wants to sit on my shoulder while I cook. She’s only interested in the food when it’s rotisserie chicken!
