OT: One More Off Topic Off Season Thread

[Drivesaitl]

Would this be the equivalent of Canada barely beating Thailand in hockey?

Its so strange to watch these games. While I'm not a huge basketball fan anymore its been very interesting to watch the pre olympic games. The US had some trouble with every Nation they faced. Canada,, Sudan, Germany and the US club is star studded. So loaded with talent and ability. The US are capable of such dynamic and mind blowing plays and yet they let the opponents hang in all these games. Its kind of inexplicable watching it. Odder too is that the opponents are also very capable of making excellent plays that are challenging the US superiority.

Maybe its just that its tune ups and not dialing fully in but competition is closing in. US in basketball are where Canada was at in hockey when sending even the pros out was barely enough.

Several bridges closed??? That will certainly throw a big monkey wrench in Edmonton traffic.

This was dry rubbed, cooked at 225 and spritzed with apple cider vinegar/apple juice mixture with a little bit of brown sugar

Looks and sounds tasty!!
I haven’t tried using apple cider vinegar besides 3-2-1 ribs. I usually render down the fat trimmings I got and use the tallow doing a brisket. Not sure if you knew but a great tip when choosing a brisket is to bend it in half lengthwise and see if the ends touch. Good way to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth. But again that looks delicious!!! Got the stomach growling. Time for a smash burger…….wish it was brisket though lol.

This was the final product from my brisket a weekend before last.

I think I get it. If I see some mosquitos sucking my blood from me, don't kill them because they will provide food for bats and other such creatures.

The city did import a bunch of bats a few years ago to deal with those mosquitos. Let them do their jobs man.

You guys, I have a brisket in the freezer but too much traveling and not enough time to commit to a big cook. Looks like a keeper.

Gold in Drone Surveillance.

Gold in Drone Surveillance.

Flying in restricted air space likely disqualifies them from medal contention.

 

[Senor Catface]

Doing something like this is pretty silly, but why do you need to film the 28th place team in the world for an opening game??

 

[MoontoScott]

Has anybody heard if the rain is now falling in Jasper? Its a desperate situation and the military has been called in but not sure if the rain has actually started yet? It was in the forecast for tonight. Anybody have relatives there who have been evacuated?

Several bridges closed??? That will certainly throw a big monkey wrench in Edmonton traffic.

Only in Edmonton would they consider fixing a hundred year old bridge that’s falling apart instead of simply replacing it altogether.

I wonder if they will have an interactive mugging or an interactive drugged out vagrant barfing on you display or perhaps someone pushing you from behind onto some tracks 6 feet below and only 8 seconds to scramble back up onto the platform before you get run over interactive display? It would add a degree of realism and excitement to the displays!

@Three On Zero Nice work on your bbq skills and I don’t want to make you jealous but when I microwave these babies up for 2 minutes with some packaged bacon bits, chili flakes and shredded Tex Mex it is to die for. Feel free to copy the recipe.

If you’re feeling a little frisky, add in a cut up hotdog

Cooked to the point of choking hazard.

Looks absolutely disgusting and I wouldn’t feed that to a starving dog. I’m sure your wife enjoyed it though.
