Doos

It has always been that way. I have family down there so I’ve spent a fair bit of time there going back to the 70’s. Grandpa left in 45 as he saw no future there. Most everyone else went to college and moved out of state, only a few left.

Yamaha has a huge share of the outboard motor market...

Merc has a huge advantage. Rarely see Yammi’s

Haven’t yet....my dad and I bought a whole wagyu 1/4 though. It’s being butchered within a week. It’s 1500lbs in the hoof right now and our quarter is gonna be 240lbs if need in the paper. I’m stoked to get it

Nice. It’s amazing how different it is, even feels different.

Packers are so much easier to cook....

Yep, and more fun too. 
 

Have you tried one of the Snake River Farms Wagyu packers yet? Bit of a splurge but amazingly good, the cost limits me to about one a year.

I need some pointers for brisket.  I called a local farm to see if they had any brisket and they had 2 flats left. She said the weight was around 4 lbs. 

Do I want to inject it with something or just dry rub?

4lb flats are tough to get right. You really have to smoke for a bit then dump in a bath of beef broth, and cover. 
 

Do you have a Costco close? Their prime full packers are pretty good, and priced pretty well. You can always freeze the point if it’s too much, great for chili whenever you get around to it.

South Korea is still testing and tracking like crazy.  South Korea beat it because they had tests early and used them.  We had chest puffing and bravado from both sides of the aisle.

Good stuff Matt. What was done in S Korea would never fly here, Americans don’t like being told what to do.

If you take New York out the country is still rising.

Testing has increased dramatically. Hospitalization and death in decline.

Now let’s see if you can put it all together.

Odd location to start with. I’d think someplace like Troy or Birmingham would make a lot more sense. 

Clearly no reason to think Creepy Joe made unwanted overtures in private...,when he makes them generally very public. 

Seems normal and well balanced. Florida should take heed. 

Yeah, that’ll be great

Asymptomatic carriers are infected first? Do you have some evidence of this? 

Multiple studies have shown there are groups of homeless that test positive, yet none report symptoms. Possible this could be the case here, especially when it’s known that some strains are more impactful than others.

Parked in front of its condo on the Channel. 
 

Pretty cool place. My dad was a boat racing nut back in the 70’s and early 80’s, took us on a couple road trips to Havasu and other lakes out west to watch the races. I have vague memories of it, but I recall him have to turn a t shirt inside out at a race that said, “I’d rather be blown than stroked”. Of course I had no idea what the deal was.

He had a Nordic jet boat delivered from AZ in 78 when they were a thing. They’ve come a long way since then.

Not sure that means there is a 30 day incubation period, might have taken a while to run through asymptotic carriers.

Are they out of the northeast? For some reason CT comes to mind

The main guy is yes. The following they have is pretty crazy, they have hundreds of member chapters all over the world. I have no idea what a chapter consists of however.

They have quite few really good videos. Even bought one of the knives they always use, it’s just ok.

Speedboats died in the Midwest right around 2008.   Damn they were hot for a while.   Good friends use to sell 100 Baja's a year.   Nice boat for the money.   Then it went to cruisers now its pontoons.   They are selling some Bennington's that are close to $300K.   Fucking insane. 

When an outboard engine can cost more than a new half ton, prices get out of hand.

How do  you suppose got me...were you serious about that fair and balanced fox crap...maybe you should inject some disinfectant to clean that idea out of your system.  BTW when a Democrat President stands up in front of the American People and says something akin to what Orange Julius  said then I will for sure call them on it. 

The Fox thing was me just trying to be funny. I just think it’s hilarious that you only post the negative junk from the right. With fervor. 
 

The left does shit that’s so unreal that it’s hard to grasp. I’ve never really sided with either party, but the “liberal party” has gone so far out of bounds it’s tough to have a rational discussion.

At a certain point, you just have to feel sorry for these people.  Maybe?

No not really

Jim, not disputing Trumps stupidity. I’m just curious why you never call out the other side, even though their gaffs are far more egregious. You could stand to learn a little from The fair and balanced reporting of Fox News.

I’d be curious to know what tests they’re using. Many of the antibody tests will show a positive for multiple/common corona strains, which is useless. I had read there are something like 75 antibody tests that are approved by the FDA, only two or three test for covid 19 specifically.
 

What’s the infection rate? If it’s still 2 or 3 then herd immunity is a ways off, even if the tests are to be trusted.

If accurate that’s encouraging.

Depends on where it’s cut from.

No it really does not. The plate ribs and chuck ribs come from different sections, harder working muscles. Ever see the bones on a ribeye primal? 

You can even tell by looking at the fiber. The ribs you have are somewhat stringy, like a pot roast. The plate, which is typically the 3 large bones have a tighter muscle fiber. The chuck, which is generally around 4 smaller bones is a bit more stringy.

ive cooked them dozens of times. I ask the the butcher the the 3 bone plate section.
