Is it a Pata Negra oister combo?

This thread is the most wholesome thing I've seen in a good long while. Love it!

that's awsome! going for pulled pork of sliced? Also your BBQ is begging you to size up your meat

Went in for another session last week and a buddy wanted to join me for some moral support. He is a photographer so the images are better then what I can usualy share.

lol

The mean reason to spritz your ribs in my experience is to get a better smoke flavor and coulor. The smoke sticks easier on the wet surface of the rib. Next to that, It'll also raise the humidity of the inside of the bbq wich will help with keeping the moisture of the ribs optimal, but this can also be done by adding a water pan to the bbq. You can even combine it with a drip pan and catch the grease. furtermore, a water pan can contain much more water at one time, wich will help auto-regulate the humidity. Every time you open your lid to spritz, you loose all the hot air / smoke and humidity, just to start over. Using a water pan can realy help for people with Kettle and gas bbq's, as they require more airflow due to less heat retention.

I can talk ribs for hours, so if you have any more specific questions, just ask

Just added another thing to the list of things I didn't know existed yesterday and must have tomorrow:

Silca SuperPista Ultimate Hiro Edition

That thing is a piece of functional art.

Just look at this review: https://pezcyclingnews.com/technspec/silca-superpista-ultimate-pump-review/

Taking the long way home

Anyone play Baldur's Gate 3? I played 1 and 2 but this is a different animal, so hard! Would love to team up (cross platform is now possible with the new April patch)

If I soak a brand new pair of jeans without friction and the water changes coulor, Is that because of the excess Indigo or is it possible that my jeans will come out a little lighter?

New purchase for me, "Flower Mountain Yamano 3"

Always wanted to try the brand but didn't want to go for the more 'interesting' colourways.
Day one and they are great. Too bad they are made in China. Interested to see how long they last.

the kicks I get from my boys are to be avoided, Jiu-Jitsu lessons are starting to come back to bite me in the ass

@chillmonroe I remember having the talk, didn't use chat GPT for help, but the circle of life or "the Tree" it uses in one of the examples was the main part of it. Very helpfull stuff.

Menacing sky on yesterdays ride

Going to wake this post up from the dead.

When I was a kid, I rode mountain bikes all over the place, got older and switched to motorcycles. Then I got kids, abandoned the 2 wheelers and started getting into BBQ. My ex bought a TERN GSD Longtail and told me to also go electric to keep up. I caved and bought a Cowboy bike but was never a fan of electric bikes so I didn't ride it much.

Fast forward to a month ago when a coworker asked me if I wanted to sell him my bike. I agreed and decided it was time for me to get the bike I've always wanted and get into a new hobby along the way. For some reason, I've always been drawn to Ti bikes, the simple, strong frame paired with the corrosion resistance made it a 'one bike to rule them all'.
So I bought a Van Nicholas Rowtag With a Shimano GRX820 groupset and DT Swiss wheels. I'm still in my early stages and rode about 300km so far, No 'Click in' pedals yet because I'm not yet 100% at ease. Doing as much commuting as I can to build up stamina and when I have the time, I use komoot to help me find the small roads to get home.

I really dig riding 'gravel', It brings me back to my MTB days but my experience from riding motorcycles helps in reading the trials and keeping my momentum going. Looking forward to much more happy rides and for those interested, the Ti does not disappoint, it has a certain sturdy yet comfortable feel so I couldn’t be happier. I’m only at the start of this new hobby but things look promising for sure.

I gave my boots their spring cleaning over the weekend and couldn't resist sharing a picture of my Wolverine 1000Miles in Horween Chrome Excel. These started their life black in 2014 and have been resoled once.

The other boots I own are:
Alden Wick boot (from SOP) 1x resole (bought in 2020)
Y2 EB-01 Eco Horse Engineer boots (bought in 2022)

Most days, I wear either one of these 3 pairs.

@TheChef17 I own the IHSH-240-BLK and IHSH-157 and they are my favorite UHF's

Thx guys!

@Alex Right now, the classic 18-55mm but I'm planing on going as big as a 55-210mm

Wow, those went fast! no 34 left
