Ever since toppling a KW1300 in 1980, I have had a personal policy
to never ride a bike you cannot pick up by yourself.

Because, sooner or later you will have to. (possibly while injured)

Yes. I dumped my '46 Indian Chief, when I was 17 and injured. I picked it
up and rolled it across two lanes of rush hour traffic. When my 15 year old
wanted to learn how to ride my Honda XL 650, I laid it down and told her if
she could pick it up and start it, I'd teach her. Neva hachi!

Nick, I don't like that tale. The cop was presumably doing what he was
paid to do. Despite having gotten a ticket, I would have helped the guy
out, and suspect that 99% of the others would as well.

Don't count me just yet.
Can't say for sure. If I was doing 51 in a 50, I'd go the FU route. If I
was going 80 in a 50 and was written up as doing 55, I'd help.

Listening and doing does more to improve BBQ than posting. There's more
than enough die hards to answer the newbie questions. I'm smoking on a
Bradley, a Chargriller offset, and the WSM. Alder smoke gave me as good a
Montreal Smoked Meat as I've had in Montreal. I'm thinking of building a
brick smoker and black oven as the entire wall of a shed to defeat the
constant wind here. I'm doing a lot of curing and smoking as a result of
following up on threads posted here. I have two ducks to do this weekend.
:-) I'm thinking five-spice and cherry wood for that small flock.

Actually, Double Barrel BBQ re-opened for a while, using a real nice
kitchen trailer, but that has since disappeared. I haven't chased down
my buddy Lance that works there, so see if they moved the trailer to
another spot, but I'm guessing that's what they did.

*tappity tap tap, click*

Looks like they're only doing catering now:

And you don't post, because? If everyone just lurked, there'd be
nothing. A group gets better (usually) with ore people participating.
You can always learn things from others if they'll voice their opinions.

And after all, cooking is nothing more than opinions.

Shawn,
Sure hate to do this here, but have to.

Tejas is the Spanish translation for the English word "tile" (as in saltillo
tile or ceramic tile). Texas is an indian (American, don't ask me which tribe
because I do not remember) word for "friend" and does not carry a J when said
in Spanish. Another point is that proper names are not translated.

This is not a flame, I am not the grammar police, just bringing this up as it
was brought up to me when I first moved to Texas 23 years ago.

I was raised in El Paso, and didn't know I wasn't Mexican until I was
about 15 or so. The Juarito River Rats (This was before the term
"Cholo" was coined) all pronounced it "Tejas".

Cool.

I seem to remember that the word texas WAS a Indian word for friend.

The Spaniards, and later the Mexicans referred to these people as
Texanos. (The suffix ano lending the concept of belonging to the
preceding noun, making the word Texano mean more, or less, "people from
Texas."

Just as Mexicano means someone from Mexico.

I used the *******ized spelling of Texas to reflect the true
pronunciation of the word "Texas" which, in Spanish the
X is pronounced as a soft H.

Like "Me-hee-co" or "te-has".

Most modern Mexicans that I know would spell it "Tejas"

The Mexicans were here before us, and that's what they called the place.

Us white folks are probably mispronouncing it, when we use the harsh X.

We use the American version of English. We change the spelling and
pronunciation of a lot of places. Rome/Roma for example. Some languages
sound the V and W opposite what we use. Of course, we are right, the rest
of the world is wrong.

I have noticed that people from LA say Southern Cal, the Bay
Area "inhabitants" just say California, and from Sacramento north we
always point out it's Northern Cal. Might as well break up the
state into three. It would add at least one new red state...

Red state, good idea. Otherwise, bad idea. NorCal as a state by itself
would be a very poor state indeed. Our only income would be by selling
our water to SoCal. Presently they get it for free because every
governor that has ever presided over California has been from LA.
