Would you think any less of me if I didn't??? 🤣

Chuck Eye Steak kabobs ... just pulled 'em off the GMG. A little early to eat, but I need to get to a Snowmobile Club meeting (despite the lockdown .... screw Walz and his BS)

I agreed to make some burnt ends for Christmas, but it's not going to be the typical burnt ends from brisket. This past summer we made them using pork belly, and they seem to have gone over really well (especially with the kids, who seem to be the most picky). My buddy had "The Gospel" seasoning from Meat Church and then we just used Baby Ray's Sweet & Spicy to glaze them. Just curious what some of the "veteran smoker guys" have used for seasoning and/or sauce, that's been well received by the people you're feeding to.

Biden is too dumb to cheat, but obviously you're too dumb to realize what the Democrats pulled off.

I see the moron comment struck a nerve. Hey, if the shoe fits ........ The only thing that's a load of shit is your diaper. Go change it ya putz.

For morons who don't get it (yes, that's you @Mainecat) Written by a restaurant owner. Is it any wonder why we don't trust our overlords? As I walk into the grocery store with 30 other people at the same time, I think about my restaurant which allows parties of 6 total, and meticulously spaces out reservations by 10 minutes ensuring guests that aren’t from the same party do not arrive at the same time. As I take a cart, that has had just the handle sanitized, I think about my restaurant which invested thousands of dollars (so far) on ink and paper to print disposable menus to ensure no two guests touch the same menu. As I walk over to the produce aisle with 15-20 other people around me, I’m reminded of the strict “no mingling / no walking around the restaurant other than to use the washroom or enter/exit” policy we have in place and the 6ft distance between tables which has cut our capacity in half. As I watch the woman next to me pick up apples with her hand, check them over closely and then put them back on the open pile and repeats this until she finds the perfect apples — the same thing that all other people that day who want an apple will then do and then put those apples into their mouths, I think about the two step sanitation process in place at my restaurant for all cutlery and dishes and glassware in between every single guest, and the sanitation of every surface guests touch (tables, chairs, salt and pepper shakers, etc). As I watch the man in the next aisle over ignore or not notice the directional arrows on the ground, I think about my restaurant and the constant redirecting our staff does of guests - by locking certain doors, blocking areas off and the work my team does to simply not allow guests to walk where they are not supposed to. As I walk down the cereal aisle, I see a person with their mask off so they can talk on the phone, and I’m reminded of my restaurant where our masking policy has lost us so much business as we will not allow guests who do not cover their nose mouth and chin while not sitting at their designated seat as per the by-law in place for our region. As I check out at the cashier, I use my debit card to pay and see the plastic film covering the terminal. It was not sanitized after the person before me used it. I am reminded of the sanitizer used on the debit terminals in between each guest every time at my restaurant. As I stand at a crowded exit trying to leave, I’m reminded of the detailed contact tracing in place at my restaurant that records the name, phone number, table number, arrival and exit time, as well as the server and section the guest sat in that is in place at my restaurant— not one of those pieces of information was taken from any customer here. As I get into my car and watch all these people leave the store, I wonder which person will visit my establishment after contracting covid at this grocery store, and I wonder why on earth my restaurant will be blamed as the source. Restaurants are being targeted as the “source” of Covid infections because we are one of the ONLY industries required to provide contact tracing. Someone with Covid could have gone to Costco, Home Depot, Walmart, the Mall food court, Any grocery store etc yet it’s the restaurant that took their detailed information that will be forced to close and deemed responsible for the infection. You want to blame restaurants for the spread after thousands of dollars investing in equipment, training and stricter policies than ANYWHERE ELSE?! PROVE IT #saverestaurants

LOL!!! I was picturing that thread being on HCS ... my bad. BTW ... nice meme!! One of the best movies ever!!!

Oh, I agree 100% that nothing is gonna happen. I pretty much conceded to that idea the moment "Joe" claimed he was the end all, be all, Superman of HCS. I've moved on, and unfortunately I was dumb enough to not realize VS was a problem up until the past week or so (yes the password debacle was terrible, as was the software upgrade). But I felt like they were doing a decent job of letting us run the asylum!! LOL Now? They made their bed and whatever happens over there, so be it. I'll stick with the FB stuff and here ... and even try helping Turbo Jamie out by posting on PSP from time to time.

Since I'm in the same company as @Fireball 440 and banned, it ain't worth the hassles of creating a dupe and giving VS what they want .... generating additional clicks/traffic on their site.

FWIW - still no response from what I sent them last week. Maybe if you turn into Andrew Dufresne, and write a letter every week for 300+ weeks you'll get a response!!! 🤣 Yes, that's a Shawshank Redemption reference for those wondering LOL

I'm hoping some of the guys who used to provide updates on NW Wisconsin can keep the updates coming here. We were up by Cable this past weekend, to get my buddy's new sled up to the cabin and although the snow is minimal (it was as of Saturday afternoon), the lakes all seem to be freezing up nicely!! So that's a good start. I know @XCR1250 Don has provided some updates around the Moose Lake area and things are freezing up pretty well in those parts too. I know we'd all like to see snow, but I'm OK with the ice making machine first ... hopefully the snow starts adding up in time for the Holidays and we can skip the annual "Christmas Thaw" we always seem to get up there.

Madcatter .... Asshatter ... aren't we all part of the same club?? BTW - nothing beats the Cat ads from the 70's - 90's. THOSE were the best!

Good to see ya Tom!

Packers vs. Lions game right now. I'm waiting to see how the Packers can make the Lions look like the best team in the NFL (because they will find a way, I'm sure).

Attaboy @Rowdy .. way to bring your stellar posting ability to FS!!

First off .... my current EIGHT FIDDY HYPERSLED was more than $14K. Secondly .... there's bubble gum in there?!??!?! NICE!!!

OK @Jerry 976 - you win!! 🤣 Holy fawk ... that's just .............. wrong on so many levels!!!

Where the heck was the Sidewinder??? No Yamaha sleds at all??

Anything is possible, but I doubt it. @Jerry 976 would likely say the same thing.

A good video for those who want to see what Doug mentions above.

Do I really have to admit I live in Minnesota? Because it's f'ing embarrassing being from this state. I was born in Wisconsin & lived there until 1984 - so I can say that with a little more pride🤣 We primarily ride in NW Wisconsin (snow is pretty inconsistent in these parts).

LOL ... I know you have that big ol' box of Crayola 64 right at your finger tips!!

What'd they do, send the local kindergarten class to practice their penmanship with crayons? 😂

Yes, we know ... that's how shit normally works. It circles the toilet before going down the drain.

You forgo the all important .... SHOOTOUT!!! Wasn't that supposed to happen this weekend?
