I could be wrong, but I think she meant that the grill guys were out in 118* heat weather wise in the grill area. Not smoker heat wise.

Me neither. Jesse is the John Henry beating the shit out of those poser barbecue places around here with fou fou things like heat and a/c when they smoke their meats. The wood is piled up near the smokers. He did close one or two days last winter when even the plastic curtains around the smokers could not hold in the heat
I have seen Jesse chopping his own wood. I love to poke fun at mennonites, why should they be spared, but they are bad asses.
Was typing about the compassion that the mennonite diner showed one of it’s regular customers the other day but Jesse was shown tremendous community support last year.

Silly boy. You are amazing anyway. Miss that you have not been posting as much. Bbq boy tried to tell me the song"Oh what a beautiful mornin’" had nothing to do with Penna. Later he typed that he was wrong. Once I was blab blab blabing about how much I love late July. This was on a different sandbox. I typed that Late July would be a great name for a snack food company. Someone responded cheerfully that there was a snack food company called that. Who knew? No one gets my weird sense of humor.

So about those fajita pans. I know u love chatting about them. When it is this hot I tend to go nocturnal if I can. Cooler now so I baked a little pizza on one of the pans. When I could remove the pizza from the fajita pan there was some olive oil left and I put the pan on my two burner “stove” and heated the pan.
I had a prime filet steak from costco waiting in the wings sprinkled generously with montreal seasoning. I thoroughly patted that filet down and read it it’s rights. Seared it thoroughly on all sides. I was “forced” to add butter to the pan.
Allowed it to cool to room temperature which is not very cool atm. I was delighted with the result. Rare tender with a nice sear.
I stopped myself at four thin slices so I can snack on cold filet tomorrow. Already gave Harley some of the pizza crust. Love this pan. Cast iron but not too heavy when it is too hot to move let alone lift. Must resist more filet. Having a vodka, cointreau and sprite as a night cap.

Standard patent attorney response is discovered rather than invented. That’s why, e.g., that obscure former Swiss patent clerk could not have patented E=mc^2.

And consequently upsetting Newton’s heirs.
Is e=mc^2 math or a language representing math?

To me it’s language representing math, and math itself to me is the abstract, or perhaps a huge collection of abstracts.
Still, mv^2 is concreted enough when you fall off a ladder from 4 meters up and land on (grass or concrete).

I could have told them that living on the great plains drives one crazy.
Don’t need no fancy study for that conclusion

Thanks read the whole thing. To recover having a vodka on the rocks. I cannot believe I read this book cover to cover. What was I thinking?

It was a death march to the west . How far can a wagon train travel in a day . 8 to 20 miles depending upon weather and other conditions. You made it to the great plains after that . Obviously. Pretty much did not live that long .

Thanks I will read this after I sear my salmon and finish my vodka/rox. Still thinking about the wind from your other post.

I suppose prairie madness had nothing to do with Katherine Bates and Frederick Engles being married and their subsequent insanity.

Was very hot here and I stupidly wanted shrimp pad thai. I was all like the heart wants what it wants. Nope. I knew the owner of White Jasmine was strange the first time I walked into the joint. He was eating his noodles at the counter. With a fork. But I like ordering local. I was sitting outside on a bench with Harley and he was “too busy” to bring my dog a courtesy cup of water.
I told him he was a cruel man and he refused to take my order. When he looked at Harley it was with fear and disgust. Harley is fifteen pounds.
Went to the chinese place and was treated with great kindness. The angel working the counter gave me an extra free bottle of water so the dog and I could each have one.
