The post whore thread.

Yes, but the fuel makes one hell of a sticky mess of the gum...that stuff just don't wash off.

I have 185 hours of unused PTO and 14.5 hours of floating holiday to burn before EOY.

Wanna bet I don't make it?

We can only roll 40 hours.

But, but, you have the "privilege" to go on all that travel.

I looked yesterday. I may look again today or tomorrow. I love a good rib roast but the sad thing is 1/2 the family likes any steak "Well Done" and I am not in favor of killing a roast. I ordered stuff from Omaha Steaks for my moms visit last week and got some lean NY strips for the wife since it had to be leather.

Thinking of picking up 1 or 2, unless my butcher has them priced like he did last year $6.99 Defrosting a few racks of ribs we vacuum seald last month for Christmas dinner. On the smoker doing 1 with dillo dust, 1 with good home made rub and 1 with S & P AND red pepper flakes. Smoked BBQ beans, might defrost the brats we did. make it a BBQ smorgasbord .

That sounds delicious!

Hubby wants either beef or pork. I'm thinking that a nice roast with taters and carrots will be tasty.

Heading down to Albertsons. $5.99lb Choice rib roast if you purchase $25 worth of other groceries. Seasoned for free if you ask for it at the Butcher Block and not pre packaged. Putting mine in the Treager.

If y'all cook up a roast, post a pic of the end result and your process!

Mine is going in the oven - Unfortunately, I don't have a smoker. Now a question, sear in the cast iron before baking, or crank up the oven to 500 and brown after baking? I usually sear first to lock in juice. However, I've seen some mighty good looking roasts baked normally at 350 or so, then finished under high oven heat to get some crispness on the face.

Former is better. I like to fire up the grill, brown roast then slow cook all day in crock pot what ever style/flavor desired.

Since it will be just wife, dog and I this year, we decided on Mexican food for Christmas eats.

But, but, you have the "privilege" to go on all that travel.

A few years back at one of our annual events, they had a mandatory session called, "Work/Life Balance."

There, they tried to explain the reason they don't let anyone roll over all that PTO or pay us for it. On the flip side is the employee/owner (we are 100% ESOP) that is in high demand and has difficulty taking all the PTO they might be entitled to.

Eh. Stopped the leak. Beyond that ain't my problem!
