Well on it's way. I also made a wreath for future use some day.

>>18029
I'll try to keep an eye out for /toy/ related things then. Good luck to both you and the board.

I cooked some spare more ribs. This time they were coated bretty heavily in brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and dried cayenne before being roasted with indirect heat from charcoal in a vented foil pouch.  These cooked a little less than an hour at bretty high heat and the texture was bretty in line with char siu, that is to say it was berry tender but with a pleasant springy quality.  This was cooked hot enough to render out all the fat and the salt and sugar helped pull water out of the meat allowing for some nice browning. It turned out better than I expected and this is a nice fast way to cook ribs.

I included a picture of the grill setup I used for this. I'm bretty proud of the lid, which is a repurposed large stainless bowl I drilled some holes in to make a venting system patterned off a kettle grill.  I might have taken it from a dorm cafeteria years ago to use as a fire pit, who's to say.

>some spare more ribs
Wow. I should proofread stuff more often.

>>17854
I really want to try this. Do you have a recommendation as an alternate for habeneros? I don't mind heat so much but my mom doesn't like things quite so spicy.

>>18058
Well, my first suggestion wood be to just use less, maybe half of one, and make sure you remove all the seeds and placenta. If that wood still be too spicy, some other milder variety of Capsicum chinense, habanada or something, wood be the best substitute. I doubt berry seriously you will find anything like that at a grocery store, but who knows.  Most mild peppers are from different species, and don't have the same floral, fruity, and citrusy flavors as C. chinense peppers.  Any mild pepper you like wood probably be okay though or you could just skip it altogether.

>I saw a loon Friday.
Neat! Did it make sounds for you?

>I hope you all have a good start to this week.
Thanks, Anon. You too.  :)

>>18034
>Neat! Did it make sounds for you?
I guess what I said was unclear.  I heard it singing/calling before I saw it.  It was out in the middle of the lake I was fishing in about  150 yards away.

>>18036
Lol, no you were clear. I was just waking up and missed the information.

I just realized I missed celebrating 1777777777 (it was last sunday 03:09:37 UTC), and now I'm sad.

I'm a shrimpleton, so I had to look this up. Good luck remembering to keep an eye on this in three and a half years.

is osfie still having tea after all these years?

Good morning.

>spearmint
I think it wood take a bunch of it to cause issues. When women use it to try to control androgen levels etc., they are typically drinking multiple cups per day. 
>Sleepytime
I like the regular Sleepytime quite a bit. How do you keep the bags? I wood have guessed that trying to keep them wood make them mold or something.

I keep it in a metal bottle and am finished with the bag within a day or so. As the weather gets warmer, I might have to change that. I have had tea in the past where I couldn't get away with it. It ended up tasting like crap after the first refill.

Right now I'm finishing up a bag of pic related, which I recommend, and I'm going to dump the bag tonight when this bottle is gone and then fill it up with Sleepytime Extra.

About to mek cup of basic bitch green tea.

Also, the pictured fish had previously been killed by stabbing them through their brains. I don't like to cause them excessive suffering by letting them die from oxygen deprivation or stress.  I have also watched a number of people start cutting them up when they are alive and that's shrimply an unkind and gross thing to do. It also potentially dangerous if the fish is moving.  There is actually a good online resource for locating fish brains:

Nice posts, Anon. Glad you're having good luck with the fishing. Slightly jelly tbh!  :D

Keep up the good work.

>>17914
I have caught 200 or so crappie in the last two weeks.  It's been a lot of fun, but all the fish but one have been on the small side. The legal size here is 9" inches, and almost all the fish I kept were under 10". I wish I could catch some more decently sized ones, but I believe the local lake doesn't provide the food needed for their sustained growth, at least not at their high population levels. It's a relatively shallow lake and it's bretty small, around 300 acres, so it lacks masses of shad or other pelagic food fishes.

A shrimple set of crappie weight estimates based on length for both species:

The only nice sized fish I have caught recently was a white crappie about 12.5" long.  It wood have been about triple the mass of a 9" fish.

Thanks. These are pretty adorable.

I went fishing this afternoon.  It was bretty caca, but It was nice to be outside.

>>17443
You seem to have an intuitive understanding of potential factors that could go into creating a drum sound. It's an aluminum snare though, and from what I understand those are known for having more overtones than wooden ones.

I just switched heads for the first time, and it looks like it solved my problem. The new head still has a little ring to it, but I can easily dampen it now without getting a noisy metallic hum coming through. The only problem seems to be that the logo on the head is slightly misaligned due to my own carelessness, but that doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it yet.
>>17473
Thanks, I fixed the issue I was having. I'm glad I managed to have gotten it out of the way. I've had the new head sitting around for a few weeks now and finally managed to work myself up to swapping the heads out and tuning things all over again.
