He bought stuff at my garbage sale. Now he has a nice tv stand for his broken tv.

Yup. I started that way. You can ask Chuck, the install sucked. Getting the turbo clocked and onto that coupler with the tee bolt clamp and everything aligned properly made you want to eat a bullet. Then you had to tighten the clamp thru a window that allowed one click of a ratcheting box wrench at a time. I’m not exaggerating when I say I spent over an hour tightening that clamp. ‘Supposedly’ you are able to get a deep socket 10mm in there but we never got it to work that way.

The CMAK fork must be for the CSC delete?

Nothing beats a steak from the sous vide!

These are the 2” T-Bones we did for my birthday last year.

Yeah, for the csc delete kit. The fork comes out of the housing and mounts next to the square inspection hole.
you can see the fork coming out of the bellhousing and the slave mounted. The lines drawn with sharpie is the range of movement on the fork.

On another note, the tool cart is a bit small depth wise. Might have to look at a few different options. I have to admit, it is a nice cart for $100. :tup:

Nice that you’ve got it on a lift so you can **** with it until you’re happy with it. I still don’t think that would fit with my kit.

I normally order mine medium & usually get medium rare (which is ok).
No kinda steak sauce at all,,,if it’s a good steak-it’ll have plenty of flavor!
An old friend of my dads used to tell them “Knock his horns off,wipe his azz & walk him by the fire”
I don’t particularly like a cold center in my steak...but some cuts of meat are awesome anyway you cook them.

I do my marinate and vac seal it the night before. Then I sous vide it for about 3 HRs at 130. Get the grill to 600*F and sear it about 30-45sec a side and throw it on a plate. If the weather is shitty then I throw the cast iron skillet in the oven and turn the oven on at 500*F. Once preheated I put the skillet on the stove’s maximum burner and get it white hot. Same 30-45 sec a side.

Turns out a perfect Med-rare every time. I’ll never cook a steak any other way.

I don't even bother with the grill. Cast iron on a burner until it starts to smoke with some vege oil in it. Throw the steak in with a few tbsp of butter and spoon it over for 20 seconds before turning and repeating the process a further 20 seconds. Great sear and rich taste.

I'll have to try a marinade next time. I mainly just stick to some ground sage, thyme, and garlic salt.

Yesterday I started cleaning the inside of the door panels. Just couldn't help myself :ugh:

Steaks should be bloody and still mooing when served on a plate. Any other way is blasphemy :twocents:

JARblue 09-25-2018 07:29 AM

Salt and pepper is the only seasoning necessary for a good cut of meat as well. Not to say that other marinades and seasonings aren't good as well, but only for lesser cuts of meat. If the steak is top tier, anything other than a tiny amount of salt and pepper is just taking away from the meat.

Tired morning today. I need to stick to my planned bedtime.

JARblue 09-25-2018 07:34 AM

Tried to crank over the Z yesterday. It just went "click" and the interior dome lights turned on for a second, then flickered out. The horn wouldn't even sound :rofl2:

Guessing I'll just have to bite it and get a new battery. Anyone think there's a chance the 3 year old battery that's been sitting for several months can be salvaged with a charger/tender?
