....without having to work until 100 to pay for it.

Good retirement system

Never in the history of calming down has anyone.... well, you know.

Yup. He was on the team with us. Great guy.

I meant the '09 (I think?) one. And yeah, it is steep. Crews found a body somewhere up on the hill. Never heard any back story.

Oh, I've been there.

"If I recall, they taught you in the academy not to.....so why did you......?"

I was more referring to the 4 AAR questions, but yeah. Gotta step up to the plate!

What was the plan?
What really happened?
Why did it happen?
What can we do differently next time?

What was the plan? What really happened?

I can assure you that it was entirely farcical, with no relation to logic.

Laughs in Deadhead.

Well, it certainly means they have more sense. 😁

I started spatchcocking last year and like it. I'm just using a dry brine. I've never tried injecting. For today's crowd, pedestrian is better. At home, I would like to try (to dance) a Cajun (rhythm) spice injection.

I'm using gas since I'm not on my home grill(s). But it will do.

Must. Not. Ask. Exactly. What. Was. Being. Shown.

See! 😁

Plus they make excellent wives for firefighters who can't find nurses. 🤣

Both of my grandmothers and my MiL were all teachers. Huge respect. I'm dead after a week of teaching, and they did it for 30+ years.

Fully protected should probably be in air quotes. Murphy tends to pop up in several places at once. Single stair. Systems fail. Alley blocked.

Everyone hates the fire marshal until a few dozen die.

I wonder if it was single stair.

Nice. I'm in SoCal, so just a little extra us often all I need.

Insulated. Hmmm. Happy birthday!

I've been thinking about the build it myself option. I've never done that, but I'm sure I could figure it out. A lot of the pre-built ones aren't available with an optical drive, which I still use fairly frequently. I guess I could always add a stand alone.

Oh, wait, the DoE says I'm not a professional. Never mind. LOL.

Likewise. I keep politics, music preference, favorite color, etc. out of anything LI. And largely anything professional.

‘If you’re not a liberal when you’re 25, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative by the time you’re 35, you have no brain.’ (not really) Churchill. My dad also became much more liberal as he got older. Sick of the BS. Live and love and grow.

Yes, that's definitely a discussion piece. I think I saw the words "stay in your lane" used. There's something to be said for that, but also a balance of if they won't fund it no one will.
