That is a nice tribute to him.

Eff cancer.

Saw him once when he was doing a Providence/ND game for NBC. That’s the extent of my Bill Walton stories.

I quit giving target completion times. too many variables. I got chewed out once for not having a brisket ready on time. No guarantees if it’s going to be done right.

My SIL cancelled her Memorial Day/Birthday barbecue because her township cancelled their parade. Weird, because the rain is supposed to hold off over there until 3pm at least, so now we're on our own. Had to go to Fresh Market to get burgers, etc. because I have nothing that's not frozen right now....

I’m having this same debate in my head right now. I have a 7 pounder that I’m debating whether to start it in the oven low tonight. Or just throw it in the smoker at 275 on the (early) morning. Started mine at 7 AM, 275, wrapped in foil after 4 hours (was 160 at that time) was at 200 by 5. It was f...

I'd love to see a debate between DK and Pittsburgh Dad Jr. about the state of Downtown. Pittsburgh Dad Jr. would probably get beat up again

Wait I thought he was undefeated in the streets

Nice run. Maybe they can build on this, who knows.

I’ve kept it between 250-275. Started at 7 am and I’m stalled on 174 for a couple hours now. I’d think it should be ready for dinner.

I think 225 for 20 hours or whatever is nonsense. I’m not that dedicated to the craft that I’d lose sleep over it.

Lazzara's is the one we like. Yes there's a Publix now, it opened in 2017 or so, We first went there in 2018 and it was open then.

Last we were there was August, 2020 so peak COVID. Will be glad to be back there during "normal" times again.

Smoking a 10 lb pork butt today. Local butcher had them on for $1.99 a pound a couple months ago and I bought three. Not sure why I bought a 10 pounder though. Gonna take a while.

Happy Happy

8 years ago on my birthday this happened. Pretty decent present.

Headed to Emerald Isle next week, first time in 4 years. Except for a shark fishing expedition, no plans whatsoever except sitting on the beach and drinking. We’re heading to pine knoll shores next week. Can’t wait. We pop into Emerald Isle a night or two to grab dinner and my kiddo loves walking t...

Tough one vs (basically) home standing Nebraska but who knows.

Thanks. 53 today but still feeling young.

Guess I don’t know where else to put this and maybe we need an all sports threat like those dodint PU fans have but… PSU baseball just made its first B1G tournament final since 2000 with an opportunity for their first CWS berth since 1973. Had to win their last two series just to make the conference...

Speaking of vintage record players, I just bought a 1948 Philco 1405 that has two arms, one for 33s and another for 78s. Never seen that before. My father in law is real into restoring vintage record players/radios (retired dudes, right?) so he’s currently fixing it up for us. Not my photos: https:...

The tube sound is what did it for me. We were listening to the various units with the owner while I was trying to decide, it's incredible what they can do today with all the modern tools, but back in the 50s/early 60s they were doing all this stuff with vacuum tubes. They have a Motorola with an ear...

One of the regrets of my life is that I didn't tell my parents (and to be fair they didn't ask specifically) I wanted my grandparents' Victrola when they passed away and they asked what I wanted. I used to mess with that thing all the time. It played 78s, 45s, and had a radio. I would have loved to...

That is absolutely freaking amazing

We go every time we visit my kids in Rochester and State College or my parents in Williamsport, but they’re not price sensitive trips. They are omg we gotta get their baked goods, and coffees, and cool cheeses, etc, etc….

If they become an actual grocery trip option price will matter more.

All I have is Walmart, Giant Eagle and a lame Shop n Save, you’re goddamn right I’m going to Cranberry for Wegman’s. It might not be cheaper than Giant Eagle but the quality is far better.

Wegman’s may be coming to the Pittsburgh area, finally…. https://www.audacy.com/kdkaradio/news/local/popular-grocer-wegmans-could-be-coming-to-pittsburgh-area?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1pb_ae4aZHI8xDZJtif6o5bq2yHf6-g2C-4Cz8-X5HforfOoqINdX1-fg_aem_AbaRfMRO8z0nvLBlIhl8JM61RVzp3Vq936M0dckzhCIR0bj1E4Hz...
