Cripes, the food forum reminds me these days of walking into the Virginia McDonalds at sunrise and getting the stinkeye from the group of old farts taking two hours to drink their coffee. Like how dar

Everybody thinks squirrels are strictly vegetarians but this simply is not true. They eat eggs, birds, insects and have even been known to make their own sausage.

Yes LPS-  my bat ears heard that call too.  Usually we send one of us cooking guys around to just make an appearance to calm things down.  As far as I've ever known no further action was needed but when needed the subversive posts can work like when a locked on F-16 deploys the "anti-missile" devices.  

We're basically the Israeli MP's.  Fit bodies and all :)

my dads great friend Dick Lundgren, God rest his soul, from back in the later 70's.  Same grill Reb but with the hood taken off.  Dick and Lowell always said the turkey was done when the fifth was gone and that was if they were cooking alone.  Only time I remember seeing my dad drink Gin was when they did the turkey.

That grill had that nice auger feature where you could lower or raise the meat from the heat.  Those grills must have cost $29 or less back then and I'm sure took a bottle of booze to put together too.

Nice post, LL. :)  I think all our parents had those when the "backyard BBQ" fever hit in the 60's...and the brick built fire/BBQ pits. I remember my Mom was dumping more lighter fluid on the grill, (which had been lit) and *FOOSH* up it went...and her too, her arms. I happened to be playing with the hose and was able to hose her down, or she woulda been crispy fried. Funny, we rarely used that grill. She did all the cooking inside, my Dad never grilled. I had to pick up that trait on my own.

that's no good Reb.  You remind me that when I was a kid we had a grill outside that was like an appliance it was in a permanent spot in the ground with a permanent gas line.  I'd assume that's where I learned and honed my leaving the grill skill from.  That grill in the photo is from at the cabin and I wouldn't be surprised if it's still there in some capacity, maybe without the legs.  As I've mentioned my dad wasn't a hoarder but was a hoarder of any grill he ever bought or saw at the landfill when some sucker had abandoned it prematurely in dad's mind.  That may be one to salvage to hook my rotisserie up to, it's got all the slots in it.

We had one of those sans the shroud and rotisserie. The grate may still be in existence. Used to love dunking the charcoal in water with the tongs afterwards then letting it dry on the concrete for future use. Worked pretty well until it rained if you didn't get it picked up first.

We had a bare bones one like that too. Am I suppose to stay on topic in the off topic thread?

 

this whole thread should be removed.  I'm completely confused with the authorized lack of direction and focus.  I feel like my father in law on a road trip.  "Hey look the World's Largest Ball of Twine 40 miles south, let's go see it!"

Ball of twine..... reminds me of Burma Shave billboards on the way to the secret vacation lake. It was not really that far away and the old man would drive in a circles on the back roads just to make it look like we were traveling a long ways away. We figured it out when it only took an hour to get back home when the vacation was done... thinking back he may also have been lost.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      By Wanderer · Posted

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
