[Post 557 because I can't count and missed 556]

I've been on vacation (working on a lot of home projects) for 3 days and because I had an awesome day, I thought I'd share my amazing dinner...

Start with a sirloin from Miller Farms (last steak of our half cow).
Toss it on the grill at 550 deg. (salt, pepper, safflower mandatory):

I tried to pick your dinner pic apart.

But really couldn't.

So, first time giving a 10/10!

Well done!

+10 for that awesomely cooked slab of beef.
+10 for the interesting guns.
-1 for orange soda.

Solid 19/10.  I'm fucking hungry now.

Pavers do excellent with proper base (compacted while rock and proper drainage).  They've been down for 6 years.

No soda here, flavored sparkling water (no cals, no sweeteners, no sodium).  If I'm drinking calories it's either one of the two on table (wine or whiskey) or beer.  

It was rough to get off the soda habit, but well worth it.

That Encore is awesome. Years ago there was a guy in Dallas cutting and suppressing Contenders. The coolest one I remember was a 45 Super he made for some group to use as a hush puppy.

Gas comes in handy when you check the clock and it says "no time for charcoal".  

Always have a backup.  Stove top or microwave is not a backup.
