  1. Enjoy buddy. Sorry about the mustard being sold out. It is a tough sauce to make and waiting for the co-packer to get going is probably our best bet. Hope you enjoy Shore Thing..... I want to know what you guys think of that....hoping it isn't just going to be a regional sauce. Mike
  2. Did your package arrive.....unmolested?
  3. Thanks!! I never thought we would sell so quickly. We do cater a bunch and have a great following but I didn't expect it. Our home town store bought 12 cases for an initial order, two hours later they needed 18 more cases. So far they have bought 60 cases of BBQ sauces in 10 days. Its crazy.
  4. 181 is made for pork. When we get the mustard (Gold Standard) all buttoned up that is pretty strong too.
  5. Ben.....you should know, we are going forward with the FDA scheduled process on Memphis and Gold Standard. We have sold almost half of our original order of 4300 bottles in 10 days, it has been insane with our BBQ roll out. I should have those two varieties in about 2 months or less (I have Memphis made in our commercial kitchen in the meantime).
  6. I've never shipped internationally, but there is always a first time! Ill look into it and let you know!
  7. It will be early next week but Ill take care of you!
  8. Just let me know what you want and we can go from there. Online store is being developed
  9. As soon as we finish these three up, I'm going to start hammering on the mustard and memphis (so like 2 months probably on those). I have another sauce that we have held back too..... that is a spicy-HOT bbq for wings....I just don't know if that one will ever see the light of day. I'm a risk taker but I didn't want to start with 5 right off the bat so I went with my gut and started with the three most marketable first (IMO). Ill still be able to get you mustard and memphis, we just wont offer that to the "public" until we clear FDA. You're going to loose your shit when you try the Shore Thing..... that is going to be our best seller eventually.
  10. Country style ribs, prime rib, and beef short ribs.
  11. The only HFCS in our sauce is what starts off in the Ketchup and King Syrup. It is listed as a sub ingredient meaning it shows as #3 or #4 depending on sacue but by weight it is probably less then 5%. FDA takes some of this crap over the top.
  12. Making sauce the next three days at the packer. Today is 181, tomorrow honey, and Thursday Shore thing..... so fucking excited to get this done, its been a long process getting everything buttoned up.....These are what the final product will look like. Pretty proud of how it all turned out.
  13. Hey I didn't know you were an asphalt guy.......
  14. Meh, we don't have admixtures. My comments were about HMA not concrete. While these mixes did have different aggregate, asphalt, and ESAL levels..... it is doubtful they were performing any type of test strips. Most of these were in consecutive calendar years. Mixes placed were 12.5mm HPV 76-22 Level 4, 12.5mm GAP Level 5, 12.5mm 76-22 Level 4, 9.5mm Level 4 HPV 76-22, and 12.5mm Level 4 64-22.
  15. The company I work for makes about 750k tons of asphalt a year.
  16. Well thats tough. Its a low bid system ran by and inspected by the government.... so they will only let us do whats specified..... For example: we designed and placed 5 different materials on the same stretch of road (adjoining sections).... now why would that be??? Different engineers.... but why different mixes? Same traffic, same weather, same subgrade just different SHA designer. If industry was able to design and build projects (with a guarentee) then innovation would thrive.... doing what the book says isn't always the best. Buttttt..... muh roads...... Typed on my phone so ignore the grammer
  17. See above. Thats exactly whats needed, that article is referencing (for the most part) very old technology.
  18. I dont know about the cost vs standard steel and concrete but I'd assume it to be exponentially more expensive. Better materials is for sure the way forward though. HMA has came a long way in the past 15 years..... but some technologies are just crap. Ultra-thin wearing courses are junk for example as are warm mix technologies.... but thats just me. GAP and polymer mixes are advancing quickly, but when we mill up roads you have to be able to ise it back in the mix.....otherwise it is landfilled or wasted.
  19. Nope.... help is very hard to hire and retain....
  20. This article is shit.......here's why. Most of these suggestions are expensive as hell and don't fix the problem. Most of what causes a road to fail is what is underneath the surface. I wont talk bridges because I don't mess with that stuff. Porous asphalt exists and will not survive in that region, because of the freeze-thaw. Rubberized asphalt doesn't work....... we already put some plastic in (vestoplast for example) and they fail early too....... pig shit doesn't make asphalt either....... I do agree with making the road bases thicker, that part I can get on board with. Most roads are either too thin, have failed past the point of remediation, or are incorrectly designed (meaning the actual material). MI would be smart to incorporate more polymer into the mixes up there to help combat the vast temperature swings IMO...... That and allow more RAP into the mixes to drive manufacturing costs down (more lane miles paved on budget). Just my quick thoughts......
  21. OT, can you move this to general?
  22. Currently back reading......I forget what this was all about.... appears when they sold it and we all got spammed to hell.... ohhhhhhh the good times... i need to find that pic of ford.
