Learned something interesting about these declarations last month. We had the disaster preparedness official from a local city come speak at one of my meetings. He was there to talk about everything from floods and fires to terrorism. As far as the declarations go, there is money available to help with these situations. Political setup requires the declarations be made before the help can be handed out. There are a whole set they have to get through. Up to a certain $ ammount, the city has to declare, then the next milestone goes county then state and before federal money can come and assist. The declaration has to be made for them to get state assistance....that's all.

....I thought this thread was gonna be about wash's junk!

I had em half the hams. And most everything else is roasts. I figure I'll never need a full size ham...and that gives me twice the tries to come up with something good.

I got most of this pig fresh-no smoke. Gonna have to brine and smoke some bacon and hams.

Officer, I was only bringing these kilos across the border for a documentary. I was planning to bring them to you to be destroyed..... tine to start a film crew. This could be pretty lucrative.

Soooo-eeee.....here piggy piggy.

Very cool. I like seeing this type of video. Damn those reduced capacity magazines.

this company has one that is 17.2" and that's the longest I've ever seen. http://www.jlbillet.com/jl-billet-308-ar10-17-2-angle-cut-m-lok-handguard-low-profile/

What is the rule in AZ about long guns and face to face? It seems from some of the comments that people believe that is legal.

I suppose I could legally buy some heroin from a dude at the Taco Bell by that logic.

You still think he was there to dance?

I think Mike wins the most broken links award. I appreciate all of the ones that have worked though. If this were baseball, he'd still have a pretty good average.

A link from Mike...that doesn't work???

Thanks. I've been looking at different brine options. Tried one from Alton Brown that was pickling salt at molasses...wasn't impressed. Game Changer from Oak Ridge was nice, but a little pricier than home made.

Sisco, what did you use for the brine and what was the rub prep?

It's not letting me load the finished product pic. Bummer

Old school ribs...a la wash. on the grill, right before wrapping, just before eating(one on the right got sauce, but the two stacked only got rub and brown sugar)

Temp, time...wrap/no wrap? Details man! I keep borderline ruining brisket.

Meditate on it long enough, you'll figure it out. I didn't say it was bad if you use it. It's there and you have to right now. And in some cases, for higher end surgeries, some credit may be necessary. If no one could pay $72000...and that surgeon sat there with his thumb up his ass all day....you think the price would come down to a point he had work to do? He might have to do it with a flashlight and a butter knife, but he'd get it done. Remember the housing crisis? The prices overly inflated because they gave EVERYONE credit. They increased the purchasing power of the public by giving away money that only existed on paper. When more people have access to more "money", you can charge more for a product. Credit causes inflation. That's why they lower the rates. That's the credit side. The insurance side is almost the same. Have you ever offered to pay cash for a procedure? Many times you can get it down to 1/3 of what they would bill insurance. I know, you didn't have 24,000 in cash at the time. And I also know my statement is never possible. Banks and insurance companies rule the world. Good luck putting either back in the box. I missed one more reason medical is expensive. Lawyers. I can get the same $1800 dental procedure in Mexico...done by American dentists for less than a couple hundred dollars. The reason, no mak-practice insurance. Now, that could be a bad thing in some cases, but it shows what kind of cost increases get caused.

New tits is a mind/attitude altering deal. We lost some good friends when they got new tits.

You can say that again.
