People who drag their feet and make that god awful sound. Especially the ones that wear slippers with socks. If you're not 90y/o or more than pick up your damn feet and walk like a human. Pisses me off to no end.

Growing up, my Dad would have beat my arse if he ever saw me walking like that,

I ended up getting the 4 probe one. At $258 or whatever I paid it’s too big of a discount not to just go ahead and get 4 probes. Normally priced at $465. The 4 probe RFX and Thermapen One at $69 with shipping and tax was $326.09 delivered. Honestly that’s a good price. I run over to The Butcher Shoppe in Pensacola a lot to buy my meats. Overcooking expensive proteins is just not cool.


I guarantee that you won't regret it. And thats a damn good price for all that.

Please read my remarks about "carry-over" cook during the rest here: LINK

It's important, cause it will help you get exactly what you want.

I've learned a lot since using my RFX!
You won't regret the RFX. Mine has worked flawlessly for me. Yea, the app could be better. But the upside far out weighs the downside. Rock solid connection that works flawlessly. Outstanding customer service. My probes have consistently given me readings that are within a couple tenths of my thermapen one. So I trust the probes.

I initially got the 1 probe kit but quickly realized I could use 2 probes. At least.
So, keep that in mind.

You'll learn a lot about "carry over" cook on steaks and such during the rest.

Highly recommend
"If you gonna be dumb, then you'd better be tough"
Things I've learned about cooking steaks after I got my Thermoworks RFX.

1) After doing a reverse sear there is always a "carry-over" cook. Meaning, once you pull the steak off of the heat source the temperature will continue to rise. It's almost always 12 - 13 degrees during the rest. However, I once had a steak rise 25 degrees after I removed it from the heat source. I was shocked and I can't explain it. (That steak was ruined. Pulled at 124 and it climbed to 149)

So, if your target temp is 135 you gonna need to remove steak at around 123 degrees. ( reverse sear) and hope you have the typical carry-over of 12 - 13 degrees.

2) With forward sear things are much more manageable and predictable.
Put steaks directly over flames and cook till it looks like you want it to look. Then move them for indirect to finish cook. "carry-over" is 6 - 7 degrees.
So, if your target temp is 135 then you would remove steaks at 128.

This is my preferred method now.

Please note: I cook my steaks on a Weber Kettle with charcoal banked on one side.

Remember this.

Always use some type of oil with HexClad.

Follows instructions on how to season. (Not like Cast iron) It takes 5 minutes.

They do cook a beautiful steak.
Lump for everything.

Cleaner burn. And a lot less ash. And better flavor.

Bird was incredible. There are some great videos on YouTube with players like Shaq, Ewing, Magic, Salley, Thomas, Barkley, etc talking about how great he was. His highlights are a fun watch also.

If I put together an all time NBA team Bird would definitely be one of the 5.


Jordan, Bird, and Kobe all have the same 2 traits.

1 Win at all cost.
2 embarrass you while winning.

They didn't care if you like them or not. They were all cold hearted assassins

My starting 5

1 Jordan
2 Bird

How did he end up playing at UNC?


Dunno. I guess its kinda like Josh Allen playing at Wyoming.

This was the first time I actually watched this guy play. He is poised in the pocket. He is not fast but elusive to avoid being sacked. Not afraid to run to pick up 5-6 yards when nothing else is available. Fairly accurate thrower. Doesn't have the strongest arm but strong enough. Makes great decisions.

The guy just seems to have that "IT" factor going on.

Kinda reminds me of Fran Tarkenton from back in the day. (I'm showing my age here, lol)
yes,

The dude just gets shite done. I'm Impressed!
Guy who dropped out of High School in I think the 11th grade. He is the only child and heir apparent to a big time farming operation. Rice, beans, cattle, and crawfish. Owns many thousands of acres. Has a small army of Mexicans (all legal) working for him in which he built a trailer park to house them all. Word out on the street is that he takes excellent care of his workers.

If you saw him you'd never guess he was a very wealthy man.

If I were him i would have gotten my GED and then taken some business management courses in college. Wouldn't need a degree but at least have a sense on the proper way to run shite.
It’s not difficult at all.

If you get something and it loses its connection then your dad will get pissed. And rightfully so.

If he has a smartphone, and once it’s setup, you just turn on gateway and remove probes from charger and go.

I’d imagine you’d have to set it up for him.

Their customer service is top notch.
Thermoworks RFX.

Rock solid connection. I'm really enjoying mine.

Highly recommend getting at least 2 probe kit.

Should have a good sale on Black Friday (weekend).
Lots of great choices in South Louisiana.

I have a rotation of about 5 different places that I use.

Work Sharp Professional Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener.

$250 on Amazon

Have had mine for about 1 1/2 years now. Once you get the edges set it takes about 10 minutes to resharpen. It will not "eat" the knife. I've gotten to where I don't even bother with the leather strop any more. I basically use 2 stones, (once you get the edges set) 800 grit and the ceramic. I can easily get hair shaving results. The key is to use a little water on your stones.

No regrets

Give me that Malinois all day long. Incredible animals, IF you have the energy and time to keep up.

Most = NFL, CFB. MLB, NCAA Baseball
Least = NASCAR, Golf

The "No-Call" against the Saints (any blind fool could see that) changed all that. Thats when I realized the NFL is completely rigged.

Now:

Most = NCAA Baseball, MLB
Least = NASCAR, Golf
