Hey Tmidgett

holy fuck am i going to regret this thread and everything in it in about four, five hours
Earlier, I wrote:I am making ribs for several people. I could barely squeeze 6 trimmed racks on my Green Egg.
I'm doing the tips and bits on the Weber.
The Weber is just much more primitive and rustic than the Egg. As a result, I'm done with some of the tips and bits already, after only 3hrs, and I've got a good 3hrs to go on the proper ribs.
But. The tips and bits from the Weber, which I have sampled, are awesome.
What do you do for a living?
Have you ever tried to make your own BBQ sauce? (this is a general BBQ question...not just ribs). Any advice?
I've been on a real Pavement kick lately. Are you a fan?
I also think that in spite of what the perception may be, they can actually play their instruments well enough, and may even be feigning ineptitude to a certain extent. Do you have an opinion on this?

pavement was always 'trying' twice as hard as anyone thought they were
for my money, _perfect sound forever_ is the best thing pavement ever did. _crooked rain_ is a close second, _slanted_ a close third, _watery_ right in there someplace. i like significant parts of all the rest, incl sm's solo albs.
they could be magical live, and they could be dreadful live. not boring that often, in my experience.
not crap
Although, maybe Tim has more thoughts he'd like to share. I apologize for butting in.
I went on the treadmill at the gym saturday morning and broke my own personal record.
I use to run 15 or 16 minutes at 6.2 / 6.3 mph. This time I set the treadmill at 7 mph and did somehow 24 solid minutes.
I'm just wondering what would be a good way to balance out saving money and also, say, buying a little bit of music with every paycheck I receive. I was thinking that with each paycheck, I'd just limit myself to just one item. I don't buy that much music - and if I stop doing other stuff like buying food out, I think I'll be saving myself a lot this way. I was also thinking about maybe even ordering online when possible as opposed to driving to the nearest record store that'd have what i buy - which will, I think, save me gas since it's a 25 minute drive give-or-take both ways. How does this sound with you?
I'm not you, Tim, but maybe you read about it in this thread? That was what altered my shaving method forever...
I am drunk now so bear with me.
Two friends of mine have been dating, and they have made the sexy kisses, and I have feelings for the lady in the relationship, BUT I have always repressed them like a good Catholic and a proper Canadian. Tonight I told her that I am not 100% comfortable with their relationship but that I will never be comfortable with it and the best option for them is to go with what they know makes them happy.
Was this the right thing to do? Should I have waited until I was sober enough to remember names and events before saying this? It is a raw situation but hopefully it will make me hard enough to own Airwolf eventually.
P.S. I BOUGHT BOTTOMLESS PIT AND HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT .22, SEAM AND SILKWORM WITH THE RECORD STORE OWNER AND IT WAS ONE OF THE WEIRDEST EXPERIENCES

I work at a proprietary trading firm. I do computer coding, logic flows, trade setup, and market analysis geared towards shorter-term trading.
It's none of my business (so feel free to ignore), but, do you like your job?
While in WA over the weekend a man saw my shirt, approached me and said, "Hey Silkworm! I was just showing my girlfriend Libertine on the way over this morning!" He was very enthusiastic but his girlfriend, not so much. Either way, I think these shirts still have a good reason for being worn.
Just thought you'd like to know.
Question: What size of Green Egg would you recommend for a couple at home who do occasional entertaining of larger groups?

Emphasis mine. Common malady.

Why do you think the chicks didn't dig on Silkworm? I certainly did, but I do remember being one of very few XX'ers at your shows for a while.
Is it because you wrote songs about "boy" things?
