    Any Techies Here Familiar With Disc Stations

    I'm looking at setting a multi-purpose home server disc station. Some of my questions are probably too specific to the equipment I'm looking at but maybe not. Things I'm interested in: File Sharing (Family Pictures, etc.) Media Server (Streaming A/V) Surveillance (Replace my...

    Lazy Cat Tamper by Larry Blackett

    Just arrived today. It looks really familiar to something from my childhood which is why I ordered it. Excellent craftsmanship and it's nice and hefty. I'm super happy.

    2 Pipes & A Jeep

    It's been a little while since we have been able to take the jeep out thanks to a hole the size of the grand canyon in the radiator. I replaced the radiator and all went well on this trip. Went a beautiful spot near an old mine that still had some snow on the ground and stopped for a light...

    American Smoke, English Cheddar

    @mawnansmiff I recently found what is the best cheddar I've ever tasted. Everyone who tried it was very impressed by it. I picked up 2 more wheels(?) of it and put one in the smoker. I quartered it for increased surface area to smoke exposure. It's cold smoking now and I'll remove it from the...

    Found A Leak In My Jeep Radiator

    I was a little confused when I was looking for the leak when I was on the side of the road. I didn't realize I was looking for too small of a hole: Shiney new all aluminum replacement is installed:

    Usquebaugh

    Anyone here familiar with it? Perhaps one of our members from Scotland? I'm interested in picking some up but the only brand I have access to is Usquebach, specifically these 2 bottles:

    Christmas Eve Fermented Grapes & Roast Beast

    We hosted a Christmas Eve party for some friends and family. It was my first time making roast beast (smoked pork rack) and it was fantastic: I pulled a few bottles from my cellar for the festivities. For an aperitif we had Niepoort 1997 vintage port: For dessert we had 2006 Chateau...

    My New Drinking Buddy?

    I set my glass of rum on the edge of the hottub this morning and by the time I got in and lit my pipe I caught this little guy trying to sneak a sip: A quick puff of breath and he disappeared somewhere into the landscaping rocks.

    Bucket List Check Off - Yuki Tokutomi Pipe

    I've had a pipe from her on my bucket list for some time. Several years ago I lost a bid on a billiard of hers from fishnbanjo's estate but now I have one that suits me better on the way. Some of you may have seen it on smoking pipes. Can't wait for this to arrive:

    A Dove Is Visiting

    It's Time For The Annual Smoke & A Shiver Thread!

    I'm a late getting this party started but better late than never. I'm having some 10 year old Penzance for the first smoke in a bearded pirate skull meer by Yanik with a glass of A. de Fussigny Borderies cognac for tonight's stories: Tradition dictates we start with Poe's classic "The...

    Pretty Chicken Graph

    Yes you read the title correctly. I've figured out how to easily make stupidly goof smoked and BBQ glazed chicken thighs in my little backyard smoker. I couldn't do it so well if not for my ChefIQ wireless thermometer. It let's me monitor everything very accurately. Here you can see where...

    Dry/Off-Dry Reisling

    Now I'll admit there are some absolutely spectacular chardonnays out there but for ~ $15/bottle I've yet to find a white that can compete:
