This is what I use and I fry at 285F for ~4min/#. Once out of the fryer dust the outside with Tony's or whatever you want. By not putting stuff on outside of bird and frying at 285 you can fry multiple birds in same oil. Think I've done up to 6 between Thanksgiving and Christmas. No solid spices in injection marinade, plugs the needle. Inject the bird from the inside, do not poke holes in the skin. Buy the cheapest bird you can find, the less processed the better. I do not fry anything over 12#, with 10# being perfect size

Mykonos - walk through old town to the edge, there you will find lots of folks renting 4 wheelers. Rent one and take off, go explore the whole island on your own. Had an absolute blast doing that and its cheap

Malta - walk off the ship to the main road and there will be cabs sitting there. Hire one. They offer various options (full day, half day, etc). They all have a posterboard with all the main attractions and you pick want you want to see like a menu. Super easy and cheap. They will customize however you want. Malta is cool as shite, especially Mdina - if you are a game of thrones fan its a must. So much military history there on that island

Athens do the hop-on/off bus, think its the red line to get you to all the major sites. Get tix to Acropolis before hand, it will be absolutely cram packed with people and you do not want to wait in line for tix

You have several replies regarding the heat exchanger getting back flushed.

If its gas fired and mounted externally its sucking in combustion air from the back yard. Dust, lint, etc. is getting laid down on your burners and coking them up with all that debris. You will need to pull and clean the burner assembly at least every couple years (as well as flame rod, etc). Depending on your model, that can be a one hour job or an 8 hour job. If you are building a new house and asking this question, be very strategic in where you mount the box. Putting it near your AC condenser that's always generating wind that stirs up dust/pollen or near your dryer vent which constantly pukes out lint means you get to disassemble and clean the burner assembly 1/year....

Congrats, great milestone! Take your family to a real nice dinner. Now, keep it invested properly and expect it to double every ~7 yrs. If you choose to retire at 64 you’ll have ~$16M
If you want to put $300 in each pay period, $300 will still go in. You will pay taxes on your full check, then the $300 comes out of what is left and goes to Roth. At 59.5 you can pull out both the $300 you put in plus anything it earned tax free

No idea if it’s keto but the palmini noodles make for a pretty good low carb lasagna
Hit Cappadocia for a couple nights, do a hot air balloon ride, stay in a cave hotel, cheap flight from Istanbul. As for Istanbul we stayed at Movenpick Hotel which seemed fairly central, at least it was for all the wedding activities. Weddings are 3 days over there and one hell of a party. I second the river/dinner cruise
There are multiple filters on the way to the engine. I speak from OX66 experience, yours might be different but I doubt it. There are 3 just in the VST. There’s also one in the inlet to each injector that doesn’t even show up in the repair manual. Pull the VST and clean it, replace all those filters inside (put on a new VST gasket btw)
Nobody ever mentions fatties. Any combination of ground meats you can think of, stuff it with whatever, wrap in bacon. Easy to prep, short smoke time. And it looks cool once smoked (take your time on the bacon weave)

Can’t offer much other than I want to go back for several days because it’s cool as shite. It was a stop on our cruise. You can hire a taxi for fairly cheap to give you tour of all the major sites. That will let you get bearings on where to go back and explore further. I want to stay a couple nights inside the walled city of Mdina. There is rooftop restaurant in there that overlooks the valley all the way to the sea. I also want to take the boat tour of blue grotto, we only saw it from above. Want to explore more of the underground cites. And finally I want to study up on the strategic importance of that island and all the battles it’s seen so I will be better prepared to seek out some of those historical sites.
cut a chilled cantaloupe in half, scoop out the seeds, put a big scoop of blue bell vanilla bean ice cream in place of seeds using cantaloupe as bowl, the end

some of these bills may be a tad behind thus the larger amounts. just a hypothesis
My question is can Musk (or Bezos once he gets his satellites up there) make a tweak or upgrade or whatever to their assets already floating around and cut ASTS out the game? Don’t kill me, totally ignorant on this field. The evil business side of me sees Musk saying “yea pay me to launch all your satellites” then cut em off at knees by stealing the business away
