How was the test drive. I remember when they first came out - you'd pretty much only see them on the side of the road. That was a long time ago now.

[Goodburbon]

It had a race computer and custom exhaust. That plus a few thousand feet closer to sea level. Quite a bit more powerful than the one I had. It's the police model. Rode great, and for $6900 with 3500 miles on it,

I have Bike ADD. I literally JUST bought a BMW for the wife, and it turns out she doesn't want it. I love riding it, but it just lacks the brutality of the Buell.

and AFAIK the XB series is pretty reliable, and simple to work on.

doesn't matter with fool injection. skip the buell and buy something, once you're tired of it, it will sell easier. There's a reason, the buell is still for sale.

I had one last year and freaking loved it. comfortable, but not as comfortable as the BMW, but comfortable. There's something to be said for that old 1203cc Sportster engine, the power and riding experience is phenomenal.

There's really no other bike I can think of that can compare, I've been scanning the interwebs for something.

It's sporty, it's utilitarian, it's got handling, power, ground clearance, comfort, luggage, upright riding position. Closest thing I can imagine is the 1200GS, or maybe Triumph Tiger, but vs the buell's 400# weight and 55mpg and no super labor intensive regular maintenance...I don't know what would even come close within the price range.

My old one sold in a week.

The closest comparable bike I can come up with is the Ducati Multistrada, but it's #x the price.

Who had the BMW? I always wanted to build a cafe racer around an old Beemer.

[Goodburbon]

I just got a 2013 BMW F700GS factory Low for my wife. It's their 796cc parallel twin motor by rotax I believe. The bike is very comfortable and confidence inspiring. It's just down on HP by about 40 vs the Buell.

[BuffCyclist]

I'm going to guess its about bums who eat nothing but trout they caught with their own two hands.

Besides, I bet its really about a swarm of trouts that only eat bums. They wait for them to wade into the calming waters and then BAM, bite their ankles off until they collapse into the water and then eat them like a bunch of bored piranhas.

2:42.. just watched Red again. Great flick. Trout is short for Troutman, as in Colonel. It's the book that Rambo 9 will be based on. Spoiler Alert! Rambo is on the streets eating things that would make a billy goat puke and Troutman is with the CIA, CODENAME TROUT. His mission is to rehibilitate the now failed actor (BUM) and get him to make a movie worth a shit.

I've been seriously craving bbq for the past week or so.

[Brian]

Bought one of those Weber Smokey Mountains a few years back and have never looked back. I have family living a few blocks away and every once and a while when the wind blows right I'll get that call in the morning "Are you smoking ribs? If so, what time should we show up?" LOL.

I'm 50 min from you. Hint

[Brian]

I'm 50 min from you. Hint

Briskets just went on. Come on down tomorrow afternoon. ;) I'm guessing everything should be done about the time I get back from the range tomorrow. Had my FA Uzi come in - have had it over 2 weeks and I haven't made it out to the range yet, but I'm going to fix that tomorrow. If you need a better excuse, I could sell you a few of those cases of AK ammo I have left. That way it's a "work" expense, right?

[BuffCyclist]

I'm jealous. I looked at buying a smoker a few years back, then looked into building one as I heard that was almost the better thing to do, then I realized it would be cheaper to buy one because I didn't have any woodworking tools and would have to buy those too. Now I just try and ignore my cravings for burnt pork ends that any good Kansas Citian should have.

[Brian]

I see one brand or another on craigslist a lot. I like the Weber as there is a good website and a lot of aftermarket parts, but I'm sure that's probably true of the other brands too.

Ugh, I ate way too much. ;)
Ribs were awesome.
Chopped up some of the brisket with some sauce and put it with some cole slaw on toasted bun sandwiches. That was awesome.
Had a little quarter of ham left, so I threw that on the smoker towards the end and that turned out awesome.
Plus we had corn. You can never go wrong with corn.
And I made homemade guac.

I'm not eating for several days now.

Should have taken some good pics. Grabbed this though - at least you can see a bit of it.

[BuffCyclist]

Man oh man, I am suddenly extremely starving after reading your update, Brian.

Maybe its time I look into getting a smoker again...

[Brian]

I'm going to probably spend at least an hour tomorrow slicing, vacuum packing and freezing all that stuff. The good news is it lasts for a while since I usually make at least 2 briskets at once and we never eat all that in one sitting of course, even with help. I freeze little packets of chopped up brisket in a "goo" full of semi-custom bbq with honey and spices, etc. My wife calls it crack meat.

[BuffCyclist]

Okay, including pictures is is just plain torture!!!!

Not a bad idea to smoke more than you need and freeze half. I really miss pork burnt ends from Jack Stack BBQ in KC, they have the best sauce I've ever tasted. And having grown up in KC, I've gone to the Great American BBQ Festival several times and tasted hundreds of bbq sauces, only to keep going back to Jack Stacks as my favorite.

I do the same with pulled pork all the time. I'll get package of butts from COSTCO that have 2 butts in it and smoke both. Then I package maybe two servings worth in small ziplocks and freeze them. Instant puled pork sandwiches until we run out.

[BuffCyclist]

You guys are going to kill my shooting budget, I'm looking at smokers now.

The biggest question is: Charcoal or Electric...

Is charcoal really that much more difficult to keep going and smoke with than an electric would be?

[GilpinGuy]

I prefer charcoal. If you want more convenience, look at a propane smoker. Electric just seems weird to me.

When I smoke, I tend to hang around the smoker most of the time and sort of make it an event. Many brews are usually involved. So it's not hard for me to keep the fire going well.

[BuffCyclist]

Thats kind of what the general consensus seems to be. Hmm... will definitely have to look more into this. I've been craving bbq for years, and my dutch oven pulled pork is better than nothing, it isn't even close to being as flavorful as smoked pulled pork would be.

Now, time to convince the vegetarian fiancee that I need to spend several hundred bucks on a meat smoker... Wonder if you can smoke tofu. That could be a selling point for her [LOL]

[GilpinGuy]

Hell yeah you can smoke tofu. I refuse to let fake meat touch my beloved smoker, but to each his own. [Flower]

[BuffCyclist]

Lol, yes well if I can't use it to prepare food for the fiancee, there's no way I'd be able to convince her to let me buy one lol

[GilpinGuy]

Yes, that is a sacrifice that I would make. Once you start smoking your own ribs, pulled pork, etc., you'll be happy you got a smoker.

[HoneyBadger]

You just had BabyBadger recently right?
Yep! 8 weeks old now. He's making me work for my money tonight though... Whew!


Now, time to convince the vegetarian fiancee that I need to spend several hundred bucks on a meat smoker... Wonder if you can smoke tofu. That could be a selling point for her [LOL]
Although eating that much soy product isn't the best thing for your body, you can "cook" tofu pretty much the same way you cook any other meat. On the stove, on the grill, whatever. The only difference is that you don't actually cook it. It's all just for flavor.

[HoneyBadger]

I know all about veggie diets, gluten free diets, etc. Mrs HoneyBadger has been dealing with a very sensitive stomach for about 6 years. We were never able to get an official diagnosis from the doc, but for a while he symptoms looked very similar to celiac disease. Makes it hard for me to cook for the both of us sometimes because I have a cast iron stomach and will eat just about anything, especially if it mooed or oinked.

[GilpinGuy]

Yep! 8 weeks old now. He's making me work for my money tonight though... Whew!


8 weeks. Yeah, still in the "really hard to sleep" stage. My girl is about 7 months and sleeps through the night most of the time now (thank God). Better days (nights) are coming bro!

[HoneyBadger]

Thanks for the encouragement... sometimes I really need it. He is our first one, so we're still trying to figure everything out. Most nights he will sleep for 4-5 hours between feeding, but last night he was up about every 2-3 hours and every time I fed and changed him, he tried his best to make it difficult! lol

[BuffCyclist]

Guess I'll check in tonight even though I'm transitioning back to days.

[HoneyBadger]

How long will you be on days? What sort of rotation do you follow?

[HoneyBadger]

When I was on crew, I worked 2 days, 2 swings, then 2 nights, followed by 4 days off... It was a pretty nice schedule, but the constant changing never allowed your internal clock to adjust to anything.

[BuffCyclist]

How long will you be on days? What sort of rotation do you follow?

I work two, four night shifts per month. So, only really 8 nights per month but in the winter those nights end up being 16-17 hrs. Right now, the nights are only about 12hrs long, so they're a piece of cake.

Sunday was my last night of a 5 night shift that I had to work because too many people requested off for Memorial Day, so we had some gaps in the schedule that had to be filled.

I start my next shift this coming Sunday, though normally I have at least 7 days, up to 10-12 days between shifts.

[BuffCyclist]

And I agree with the internal clock never getting used to the changes. Most nights I can't fall asleep until midnight and get up around 8am when my Fiancee goes to work. A few coworkers though stay on night shifts, they go to bed around 3-4am and wake up around noon. Then again, those coworkers are married to each other, so that makes it easier for them to stay on the same schedule.

+1 to this.

I'm sure the elec and propane smokers are good, but it's just not the same thing. Personally I love the way the neighborhood (and my clothes, etc) smell with charcoal. Might be a turn-off for some, and I would guess the electric or propane smokers (probably the pellet smokers too) would cut down on that.

Only challenge I had when getting set up the first time was adjusting to the (lack of) oxygen here. Had to find the right balance of open vents to hit the sweet spot.

Yeah, I'm in a new neighborhood, so there is construction all around me. Sure makes it hard to sleep during the day...

[BuffCyclist]

Construction definitely sucks. I had to get blackout curtains years ago because I couldn't sleep during the day. I also started taking melatonin supplements, not out of necessity, but I found they helped me transition as my body would get the artificial melatonin when I was forcing myself back to a day schedule, and only for 2 days at most. Then I'd be back on a day schedule and wouldn't have any problems falling asleep.

[brutal]

When I was on crew, I worked 2 days, 2 swings, then 2 nights, followed by 4 days off... It was a pretty nice schedule, but the constant changing never allowed your internal clock to adjust to anything.

I did that in the Mil in Germany in the 80's when we were under staffed, hated it. When fully staffed it was 12 hour shifts, 4 on days, 4 off, 4 on nights, 4 off, etc. Loved it.

1. Be courteous to coworkers even when they are annoying you.
2. When someone asks how long something will take and you have no idea, make something up that will keep them at bay for a long time. Being honest with them only has them calling every 5 minutes saying "what's going on?"

Painful stuff there. Stay away from greasy foods, anything with fat in it; dairy, etc. Took my (at the time) fill in POS doctor (I use the term loosely) 6 months to diagnose my pain. My wife is the one who pushed for an ultrasound on my gall bladder.

Yes and no.


The requirements are constantly changing, which I don't like.
The pay is good, which I like.
I work alongside someone who does less work, has less education, and gets double pay, (the directional driller) which takes some of the wind out of it for me.

Pretty often the entire operation can be waiting on you, which can be stressful.
Most of the time though, we are watching TV.

Do your best to estimate how long it may take given the worst case outcome, double it and add 50% and tell them that's how long it will be.

When you come in under the wire, you look like a hero.

Any time someone stands over me and asks how long something will take to fix, my initial response is, "Longer if you ask me every 5 minutes or stand there and watch me. Please find something else to do and I will let you know the moment it is resolved."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't yet know the answer, but it will be the last thing I check, now go away and let me continue looking."

Any time someone stands over me and asks how long something will take to fix, my initial response is, "Longer if you ask me every 5 minutes or stand there and watch me. Please find something else to do and I will let you know the moment it is resolved."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't yet know the answer, but it will be the last thing I check, now go away and let me continue looking."

that's pretty much what I told him the second time he called.

I can't give a worst case because they would panic. Worst case was lose 12 hours of data, take 18 hours to reacquire it, 1 day in there to get a new surface unit shipped in and hooked up, restore the data I have. I can't go around telling them it'll take 4 days to fix, and still look like a hero when I've got it going again in 55 minutes.

"I just had a computer crash I'll let you know as soon as it's fixed " was my first call

"I don't know yet, I'll call you. The longer I spend on the phone the longer this will take." was my second answer.

"leave me alone and let me do my job" was my third answer.

"look, the more you call me, the longer this will take, I do not know how long this will take" "What am I doing?, right now I'm opening a database, loading the data, clicking on the data, scrolling through it to verify( hear him hand the phone to the Lead, "see if you can talk to this guy") (asks how long it will take) " It could take 5 minutes, it could take an hour, I don;t know yet" (so you're saying you don't know....). "YES!, you wanna come hold my hand while I do this?"

I thought that answer of "double plus 50%" was only the answer you gave to the wife when she asks about a project. And the money aspect of it is twice as much as it'll really cost, yet half as much as a contractor would quote. [LOL]

I used double plus 50 for gulf of mexico offshore projects. Worked pretty well.

Yea, I too tend to watch too many episodes of an older show in one day, then blast through the only seasons to be disappointed. Its a horribly vicious cycle.

Though I think I've watched that series twice now, once while live on tv (like actually on tv and not hulu or downloaded), and once a few years later.

[BuffCyclist]

I tried getting into Spartacus, but the episodes just weren't interesting enough for me to stick with it for more than around 4 episodes.

^^ Haha, nice catch!

I used to listen to White Roof Radio, it was a podcast about mini coopers. They have a huge following, and the episodes were actually very interesting. I used to listen to them while driving to work. They had some write in sections where you could send in questions that you've had with your mini, and they'd get a mechanic from detroit who was big in the mini industry answer the questions. I learned quite a bit about the mini and things to look for, which I wouldn't have found otherwise.

Only stopped listening to it because something got screwed up in the auto-download and when I tried to re-subscribe to it, I couldn't get it again unless i downloaded it from their website. They're at 450 somethng episodes now, 1 hour per week...thats a long time to do a podcast!

Whats funnier, is sometimes they'd all be drunk while doing the podcast, and you could occasionally hear them clinking the ice in their scotch glasses or talking about what they were drinking [LOL]

No.

Stock ROM, no root or hacks even.

It was hung after I got back into the truck this afternoon during a meet. Had to hard reboot it and it just kept hanging. Cleared the cache and even did a factory wipe. No Go. Just glad it came back after a flash. However, after going through all that trouble, I should have unlocked the damn thing and rooted it BEFORE I set it up and reinstalled all the apps.

What's this "legit" bull crap? I am a Night Person. Just because I'm normally up all night doesn't mean I'm not "legit". I do not suffer from insomnia. I just sleep better during the day than I do at night. I just did some internet research on it. The last time I talked to a sleep doctor was in the late 70's and he told me that my normal is abnormal and Live With It. I just found out that in the mid 1980's being a Night Owl has been officially recognized a Disorder and can be a Disability. I have been this way all my life. Even as kid I was a Night Owl. My Dad was a Night Person too.

I retired four years ago yesterday after working 22 years of rotating shifts. I thrived on swing and graveyard shift. The 7 days a month that I had to work day shift was miserable.

I stop in and lurk around here frequently but I not sure if I'm part of the "Night Crew" because I'm not working.

You, sir, are NOT a legit member of the night crew... [Poke]

There is no real definition. I post up in here on my nights before and after a work shift when I'm transitioning. I'm not a "legit" whore, but I post in the post whore thread...

For the record though, having a sleeping disorder, such as being a daysleeper, is a legit reason. Besides, i think its more of a reason just to see who is online at night when there is no one else to keep you entertained.

I managed to skeeve off a morning of work and inadvertently slept sans alarm clock until 11AM. I'd been missing my full 8 hours of beauty sleep needed to be fully functional for about a week with only about 6 and worked 16 hours Sunday with insufficient sleep the night before.

Yes, I am a night owl. I don't do morning well. It comes from years of having to work late hours/overnighters/weekends in IT. I'm not on a regular overnight shift like some of you guys.

I could see the insomnia first, causing you to sleep during the day, which could have gotten you fired from you day job, and force you to get a night job and work nights.

[Dingo]

General, intractable insomnia at all hours around the clock. So I started working nights, because it's more pay and less stress. Which turned me into a daysleeper.

And the chicken came first
