We eat these often. My son calls them lollipops. Anyway I buy it rough and I French dressed the rack, plus clean it up. They’ll be dry brining tonight. Going on the Weber tomorrow’s, garlic sour cream mash potatoes, house salad.
I French dressed the rack. Oregano, rosemary, sage on it. On the grill tomorrow.

I saw gas here Friday at $3.49 a gallon. Went to a burger place with the wife on the way back gas at same place $3.89
a gallon, now i
just saw the oil futures, boom another 8 percent up. Highest in my life I have seen WTI $140. Anyway I’m mad at myself I was bidding on a 04 cobalt blue X50 turbo with 19k miles today, I set my max at $90k, it sold for $102. Anyway due to my ConocoPhillips and Exxonmobil stocks, if the stocks move accordingly to the oil price move I’ll be making more than the $12k I didn’t bid on the car as soon as the market opens in the morning. Well I may just continue to sell some lots of ConocoPhillips stock, keep the money in cash and wait for a new bigger engine build. Like the Cher song “If I could turnback time”. The overall market is down but due to my huge , biggest position in my portfolio being COP (ConocoPhillips) I’m actually on the green. Should have put another $15k on that cobalt blue X50.
Heck yeah! Strava is a fun platform so give it a go. We have another member here that runs a cool bike shop in NC, I believe. I recently sold one of my road bikes which essentially covered 90% of cost of my new one. That's right, bicycle prices are drifting up too Some bikes and bike part costs really make our 996 parts pretty affordable by comparison.
I know next to nothing about bicycles, but that looks like art. Beautiful.
Thanks! You can't see it in the photo, but the downtube is a twin vane design so it pretty much has a slot running through the middle. Supposed to help with aerodynamics and stiffness but my fat *** wouldn't know. It's crazy what they're able to do with carbon and bikes these days. This is a mid weight build coming in at about 8kg for the whole bike. Some engineers that used to work for McLaren now work for Factor - thought that was neat. Oh in total, it needs 5 batteries of some kind to fully operate and none are for the motor
I’m retired so I cook And plan the menus over at the house and screw around the rest of the day. Today, I made breakfast, O brien potatoes. Scramble eggs and cheese. Flour tortillas, dinner a rack of lamb chops, sour cream, Parmesan mashed potatoes. After I made breakfast, I was free to go to my watering hole drink $2.50 pints of beer and play golden tee, life Is great. Breakfast for the wife. She didn’t want bacon today, anyway no harm I used bacon fat to fry the potatoes, I took care of breakfast, so I hit my waterhole for $2.50 pints and golden tee golf. Dinner started with chopped cob salad. With uncured bacon, onion bits, vine ripe tomatoes and blue cheese dressing. The rack of lamb had different cooking temps, I sliced them and grilled them more for my wife and son. This is what a finished plate looked like.
Went to cars and biers for me yesterday. Met a fellow 99 996 owner with the aero kit. After that we went to a Porsche club dinner in the evening with the wife, we had a blast. Then with my buddy we went to a local bar night caps. Anyway to finish it up wife said let’s go to breakfast where we met and had breakfast 21 years ago. I had a blast and a lot fun, yesterday. Making a akaushi Wagyu 4.5 lbs chuck roast. Put some red wine in the water can and sprayer. Aujus will have carrots, potatoes, garlic, onions, green peppers, all to go with white rice. Watching the players drinking 4 roses small batch and ipa beers. Life is great. Two early 99s next to each other. Wagyu chuck roast in the making.
Took my 1997 Ford F150 truck to Walmart to make a key. Gave him my original master and he made a copy for only... get this... $2. Wow! How far we've come in 25 years.
Since this is the off topic thread, I'm going to go way off topic: Dogs.
I've had dogs since I was a teenager. I'm 54 now. A beagle that passed at 14, a cockapoo that passed at almost 18 and now we have Luke, the standard poodle, almost 4. My dogs have always been an important part of the family and of my life. I take my dog anywhere dogs are allowed, they are always walked at least 3X per day. They are also very well mannered - the first year I call the year of discipline. Crate training, proper leash training, good manners. Last two were off leash trained also. Basically go anywhere, crowded areas, transit etc. with no leash. I've always gone by the rule that the leash is never about punishment but always about reward and security. Heck, when my boy gets rowdy on the leash and wants to play, I take the leash off and that is his trigger to stop playing.
So, here's the question. All 3 dogs have similar behaviours, contrary to most dogs that I have ever seen. We host lots of weekends at the cottage with friends who always bring their dogs. So we get to observe first hand.
Our dogs don't eat like animals. All three, including the beagle, known for eating everything and anything, eat slowly and all 3 have always left 1/3 behind after their 530pm dinner for the before bed snack at 930 in the evening, always after the night walk.
I thought this was normal behaviour. Until our friends couldn't believe it. So, we are on dog 3, 36 years of dog ownership. All dogs were pups and none co-existed so no learned behaviour
Wife and I have determined it has to be us. We can't figure out what we do that makes our dogs defer their meals for later snacks and not eat voraciously.
Any vets or animal behaviourlists have any theories?

Dry brine rack of lamb.
Some bikes and bike part costs really make our 996 parts pretty affordable by comparison.
