I don't have a grill, but I think it just might be time to invest in a nice charcoal grill and have some nice buff burgers and maybe even grill some Elk sausage for breakfast. My neighbors are Mennonites and the grill all the time. I wonder if they will be exempt from the regs on religious grounds.

Pfffft!! You're just jealous. 🍔🍷

I'm calling 911!

Btw, I fired up my grill. Buffalo burgers are about to hit the iron! Mmmmm mmmm!
I had to try for today, as we have more snow in the forecast tomorrow... :-(

Rock on!

Oh, that lovely sticky red clay!! Serves them right, the busybody idiots!

Sizzle, SNAP

" Berkeley is regulating them"
Aren't they annoyed the fed gov't encourages local gov'ts to arrest them for smoking pot? You'd think they'd know to leave other people's smoke alone.

hmmm. yes, in super large quantities. but we do not live in early 20th century anymore. technology comes up with efficient inventions all the time

The smoke is going to be bad for the health of anyone exposed.

But the smoke is on my side.

I don't think they would like to move to India.

The downside: I have heard talk of O wanting to retire in Hawaii. Might be too close for comfort... :)

When the house was just about finished being built and the painters were working, a snooty lady in my neighborhood actually brought her teenage daughter and several of the daughter's friends over to see and laugh at my choices (I know cause my daughter heard about it at school). I couldn't care less what she thought. The funny part was that the yard had not been planted yet, and she got stuck in that south GA mud and they all got filthy! I thought it was hilarious.

Very interesting. an outdoors-man's dream in many ways. A large island with plenty of natural resources... silver, gold, zinc and lead. A lot of bears and a lot of Federally "protected" land...

Sounds like a great plan. Kaui- that's where Jurassic Park was filmed

That would be great. I have been in 48 states at some point, some really just driving through others with some time. Including Hawaii and Alaska. Hawaii is a great climate and an island there would be the best. Even in what the local people call the bad time of year (January-February) its is absolutely nice.

A surprise location, if you like it a bit cool but not snowing, I would not have thought of as being so good is the Alaskan keys. They get cool enough that you need a fire to take the chill of at night, but never get really hot. The warm pacific ocean current keeps the winters warmer than I would have ever thought, but does not heat up the summers.

We could all pull together and buy admiralty island and then once we all moved there declare our personal succession (along with our assets) from the US and start a new country. We would just need to be recognized by another national leader and have a constitution done and walla new country. It would be far less costly than Hawaii.

Constant Disputes between the US and canida on fishing rights would be one of our biggest problems as we would be in the middle of that, otherwise its one of the best places I have ever been for doing a real life gulch. Lots of much smaller islands around that would cost much less to purchase.

Wishful thinking....

I'd like to learn the names of the... (expletive), govt employees who are actually PAID to come up with this garbage. My guess is they were left off the guest lists of one too many backyard cookouts and pool parties....

I love it! Mine is deep midnight blue. :-). Doesn't it give the impression of dining under the stars?

There are so many items that the EPA has banned because of some POTENTIAL threat, that in reality are not, and the replacement they push is actually more hazardous. The whole agency and its minions need to become eliminated. What a waste of our money to fund such nonsense, and give such people power to inflict this tripe on us.

I agree, except i think more than ENOUGH morally happened awhile ago. Although The Regulator-in-Chief is certainly doing everything in his power (and I believe as all of us here agree well BEYOND his legal power) to effect what Rand called The Anti-Industrial Revolution. I'm sure the taste would not be enhanced, but maybe some shrugging entrepreneur could invent a coal-fired BBQ (if there already isn't already such a thing) or one that runs on "dirty oil" shipped directly (overland) from the tar sands of Alberta. Take that, Barry!

Hello XenokRoy,
I have lived 95% of my life in Mi. Frigid, dreary gray skies, little sunshine, car eating salt on the roads, ice, snow, shoveling, slipping, falling down and breaking your keister and shut in for months in the winter. Summers are nice but too brief. I lived for a few years out west. Hot, dry, lots of sunshine, hail storms that dent the crap out of your car... Still tolerable. I have vacationed regularly in Florida. Sunshine, hot, humid, stagnant stifling air and uncomfortable in mid-state, but much better in the Keys where there is a nice ocean breeze and always the cool water nearby. In my travels I have set foot in 45 different states, but never Hawaii. I hear they have the best weather with average daily high temperatures of about 81°F and lows of 65°F at night with slight variables depending upon season and elevation. I understand it is very expensive to live there.
If we could only find a way to take over one of the islands... hmmm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcvsE1tF...
Well it is a lovely dream anyway. :)
Regards,
O.A.

I will be down there this weekend. I'll have a drink in your honor
