IKnowPhysics Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 Played pickup for an hour and a half instead of eating lunch today, feelsgoodman. Now that I'm starving, I'm going to leave work early to get me some Chick Fil A before meeting up with the girl later for a free movie screening at Paramount. Bonus: I'll beat traffic up to Hollywood.
MattPie Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 Had a productive day at work, that's all I got for today. Oh wait, friends ordered a wild boar rib roast for the weekend. F'N... you know the rest.

FogBat Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 I'm not sure if this is a sign of a recovering economy, "luck of the draw", or Divine Providence; but after I went back to work on Monday after spending the past 4 days at home, I hit the road and got a load with both deadhead and loaded miles totaling over 1100 miles. Then, after I delivered that one, I get another one with a combined 1400 miles. I have not had that good a week coming out of the house in a very long time. That's F'N Fantastic for me! :thumbsup:
Derrico Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Looking forward to sitting back and relaxing this weekend. I know it should be saved for next Friday but next weekend my wife and I are heading to a casino and hotel for the Friday night and have tickets for a magic show. I know I know, what is someone in their late twenties doing at a magic show? Then we're heading down to Buffalo for the Sunday game against Pitt followed by a night at the Hyatt. Things are good.

That's F'N Fantastic for me! :thumbsup: give it up for long haul!!! congrats on the pulls. that should be some excellent checkage. :) as for my effin' frickin' fantastic friday, leaving work at noon, going home and taking a nap (cuz i got here at frickin' 5 ... i think i deserve a nap!), got up at 4 to throw my fred flinstone-sized beef rib rack in the oven. having worked on it over the few weeks before the super bowl, i now have it down to perfection. apply rub and wrap in cellophane (one layer) and tin foil (shiny side OUT) the night before. in oven, place 9 x 13 pan on bottom rack with 1/2" water. mix in an entire bottle of applewood liquid smoke. heat oven to 150, place ribs on middle rack. let cook for 12 hours. that's right--12 hours. after 12 hours, remove ribs from oven. unwrap tinfoil carefully so it doesn't rip. remove cellophane wrap. drain grease, preferably into old tin can (e.g. green beans, baked beans, corn ... what have you). place ribs back on tin foil. slather both sides in bbq sauce of choice. rewrap somewhat loosely and place back in oven for 30-45 minutes. remove from oven and eat! now ... to be fair, with beef ribs, there really is no way to eat them with any decorum, so you might as well get as primal on them as you want. think "caveman." you'll enjoy them more if you do. also, have about 50 napkins or paper towels on hand. my gift to you ... on this F'N FANTASTIC FRIDAY.

Get a Big Green Egg. I've had one for 20 years and they fukcing rule. You wont need the Texas crutch when you use a BGE.
Eleven Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Get a Big Green Egg. I've had one for 20 years and they fukcing rule. You wont need the Texas crutch when you use a BGE. I'd love one of those, but I don't have the room for it.

You wont need the Texas crutch when you use a BGE. i've actually been looking into what it would take to make my own smoker, just for kicks and the like. this ... this might be a deal breaker. and they sell them just up the street from me. hmm... I'd love one of those, but I don't have the room for it. for that, i'd MAKE room. :) if it means clearing out a flower bed in the front yard, or removing the mail box post. something's gotta give!
Samson's Flow Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Working from home today allowed me to go out with the guys last night. Darts, pool and cheap pitchers. Felt like I was in college all over again... :beer: just don't tell my boss this morning...
dEnnis the Menace Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Leaving work early to head to Buffalo for the game tonight! Then heading to Mooney's for some beverages after. going to be a great night!! :beer:

I can't talk about the BGE enough they truly are like a #1 stud centerman .... game changers. LOL seriously though I've made briskets, boston butts, ribs and countless other things even cookies bread & pizza. In fact going to do some bison ribs in an hour or so . 8 hours in some hickory and white oak smoke followed by a crisping on the BGE dialed up to 600 degrees or so for 3 minutes a side plate em let em rest and pour a home brew porter and feast with the wife and daughter.
biodork Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Department party at 4pm today means work stops at 3:30. :) Only downside is I'm going to miss the game since I have plans tonight. Here's hoping the Sabres continue their winning ways.
frissonic Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 i was done with my 40-hour work week by 9:05. sort of. i took off monday to go to the doc. because our manager allows us to make up hours over the course of a week, i've whittled 9 hours of sick time down to 5 as of 9 am. so between sick time and regular work hours, i have my 40. the question is: do i want to stay an extra 2-3 hours and whittle it down further? if i do, and i end up needing another sick day (always a possibility), i have 37-38 hours left in my bank. if not, i have 35. the reality is that i have literally nothing going on the rest of the day. my work load has dried up, and while my manager is working on getting additional contracts, it's not happening this week, or probably next week. the ethical me thinks i should just leave and not "bilk." however, i need to whittle my sick hours used back down to about 2-3. not that i don't have floating holiday hours and banked vacation time, but i *really* don't want to touch that until may, maybe august. if i can keep from using any other annually given time (e.g. sick leave and floating holidays), then i can take a day in may to go check out this annular solar eclipse in southern utah. if this were a tweet, it'd be a) way too long, b) hashtagged with #firstworldproblems. :) right now, i'm leaning towards staying until noon. :)
LastPommerFan Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 I move home tomorrow, in time for the NBC broadcast of the MSG Feed. F'N Fantastic.
Bmwolf21 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Three-day weekend. Little guy's birthday tomorrow, plus AHL hockey on Sunday. Good weekend on tap.
shrader Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 This weekend is a real case of trial by fire for me. I'm spending the weekend with the future wife's entire immediate family for this ski weekend they have every year. I don't ski, would like to pick it up some day, but I don't trust my knee just yet for that. So I get to spend the time with a couple people who can't ski (pregnant, old, infant,...). This should be interesting. I've met most of them on an individual basis, but never all together at once.

shrader Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 oooh sounds interesting. Where is the trip to? New Hampshire. She's all doom and gloom about it, but she tends to over-hype people like that all the time. Everyone's "so crazy" in her mind.
Weave Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 New Hampshire. She's all doom and gloom about it, but she tends to over-hype people like that all the time. Everyone's "so crazy" in her mind. Alcohol. nuff said.

I say just treat it like a work experience with new co-workers you just met and have to work with on a project for a few days or have some real fun with it and play it like cousin Eddy from family vacation. Good luck with your choice either will work however if you add alcohol as weave suggests I'm betting more on cousin than co-worker experience.
