Sorry to hear, laf. You're good people. You can tell, because meatpimp doesn't like you.

Got a rack of ribs about to come off the smoker, pot full of collards going, some mac and cheese cooking...life is good.

I saw them with Devin Townsend a couple of years ago. It was good. However my most memorable bit of Fear Factory was just after they finished, when an endless looping rendition of 'cars' kicked off in the crowd, and kept going for a good 10 minutes.

It was a packed gig, so there was a slow moving queue to get out of the main room and into the bogs and then to the bar area and back before Devin Townsend was on. This turned into a massive 'cars' conga line with the singing carrying on through the duration of the toilet queues and then back out and during the bar queues. They didn't even play it in their set.

That's loving awesome. The last time I saw them was in....04? With Chimera and Arch Enemy, and that was in a 2500 cap theatre. Tonight is a ~400 cap bar. But I did see Burton C Bell doing an encore set during a Ministry show.

Tonight they're playing Demanufacture in its entirety, apparently most shows have been 11 songs then a 7-8 song encore set. So excited.

Should be a good night out! I think Demanufacture is my favourite album due to how many hours I spent playing carmageddon in my teens!

I also went to a gig tonight to see The Moulettes, who are apparently classified as "chamber/psychedelic/prog/folk-Rock" . They are awesome, and the venue was also very nice.
I usually go to loud metal gigs in generally lovely venues so this was a nice change!

It was loving amazing. Even though now I'm only getting three hours of sleep :v:





Other than some drunk broad grabbing my dick and trying to pull me away from the stage by it, it was an awesome night.

I feel like I've just hit a wall with anything and everything that brought me enjoyment. I haven't turned my ps4 on in like 4 weeks, completely disinterested in flying (thou last few months bills from the club I'm in probably has something to do with that - which is why I am serious entertaining buying a plane), no car projects look interesting...

There's some home improvement projects I need (and want) to do but I just can't make myself start them.

It's weird. For the first time in a long time I have both the means and time to do just about whatever I want and not really interested in doing anything. Just a rut?

My last year.txt

Not that it's a TON better now, but honestly I just started writing poo poo down. If I want to do it, or need to do it, I wrote it down. Somehow it makes me feel more guilty if I don't. Then once I finally do it, or start it, everything feels right and normal and good.

That is just not true! I'm smoking pork shoulders overnight tonight! It will be delicious :colbert:

It is true there is very little decent commercial bbq though. If I wasn't such a lazy rear end in a top hat I'd look into starting my own joint here in the Coachella valley. There have been some mediocre places but this valley can't sustain something that isn't at least great. It would need to be good enough to bring people from out of town. Not Franklin level, but still really good.

Commercial BBQ joints here are just way too fancy, or just utter poo poo. And over half of the ones I've been to don't even really smoke the meat, or if they do somehow it has like negative flavor.

Or they use avocado wood, which tastes like dogshit.

Agreed the only way to get good BBQ in California (and by California I mean LA) is to do it yourself. It's surprising how no one has filled this commercial niche, or the ones that do are so mediocre. Like aggressively mediocre.

No poo poo.

Then again, I don't know if a truly good place could work out here. People seem to love lovely BBQ here. I'm in the Temecula area, and there's a ton of the mediocre to horrible places and they thrive. It's sad.

Edit: one place I went, I ordered chopped brisket. What I got was soggy, 1" cubes of meat with a sugary glaze. The owner was in there and asked what I thought, I was honest. He said they'd started out doing it traditional and transitioned to that...mess...because it's what people wanted.

OKAY THIS HAS BEEN A COMEDY OF GODDAMNED ERRORS


Thinking I had done well today with the oil pump replacement on the bus, I decided to take it out to the local gas station to pick up some mixers for the rum I have.

I get to the Circle K, and notice that I'm leaving a trail, and there is a gigantic puddle of oil underneath the bus. A quick peek underneath makes it look like it's from the new oil pump area, but that area is blocked by the engine mount bar and other things.

Since I'm already there, with no additional oil on hand, I check the level and it's good (I had overfilled it earlier, remember?). So I get the sodas, and drive very swiftly (but in the highest gear possible to reduce RPM without lugging it) back home, turning it off at stoplights, etc.

I get home, and you can clearly see the trail I've left. So, I run in quickly to get the oil drip pan and throw it under there. After that, I grab the sodas, and start to head inside.

The bag breaks, both 2-liters fall, and BOTH of them explode. Not out of the cap, but down the sides of the bottle.

I still have a can of pineapple juice, so I go inside and throw a couple of ice cubes in a glass. Then I pour in some 151 (because rum and pineapple juice is terrible, I'd guess), and the pineapple juice.

The ice cracks from the warm juice, and shatters the glass.

:suicide:

That's amazing. I love those days.

Also 151 and pineapple juice is delicious. Add Malibu to make a caribou lou.

BGE is nice but overkill unless you just like spending money. For the price, you could buy a Weber, a propane smoker, and a charcoal smoker and have enough left over to cook meat for most of a year on all three just to figure out which you like more.

I still want one eventually, but I can build my own smoker for less money, so it still doesn't seem quite worth it.
