So were here for 2 month now and boy do we miss hanging out with CCF bro's and spending time on the water. We skied/footed once and then it got too cold...in September
Anyway, we did spend the last weekend on the water (kinda) and visited Venice

and did all the tourist stuff

Had no fun at all

BTW now I know why nobody owns a boat in Europe

That was That the pump in Venice and translates to 25 gals x 3.78=94.5 x 1.62 Euro = 153 Euro or 168 USD!!!!! The buckedhead race would burn a hole into the budget....

Anyway, we got spare beds, so come visit!

BTW while the Italian food is great, by now it sucks, as there is almost no other thing to eat....

The plan is to be there 1-2 years, so time for ya'll to visit

Jim, I seem to be 700k short for a riva

Larry, I would not swim in that water! We were in the 50's and the water still smelled (no romance there in the gondola...) Besides that, the thought of footing/sking crossed my mind as it would make a nice shot

No worries, next spring/summer hop in your car and make a road trip to Belgium.
I'll make sure y'all get some hours on the water... And have nice accomodations!

Mention to Sebastian that you've got a BBQ grill or even better, a smoker and he may just make that road trip earlier!

We really enjoyed Venice. went to Italy for the month of August a few years ago. Let me tell you that is the hot time of the year seriously. have you taken trains? airconditioned? when you leave the station they seem to be fine but a little down the track all of a sudden no air LOL. went from Rome to Venice and down to Assasi and then the the cinqua terra region. it was beautiful. where will you settle for the stay? i would go back for sure. enjoy as we will your photos.

Jerry, even better, so you can come and don't worry about the kids....your more than welcome

Jack, I work in the train business, so no comment as the company I work for also sells HVAC's for trains....

Owning a CC is great but you start to condition the kids and they see when a boat is not up to snuff...when Gabe saw the gondola, he gave me the "MasterCraft" look haha


Food wherever you look but as I said before, only Italian stuff (meet a guy from ATL at Gabe's school and he brought the egg, so BBQ is now covered)


And yes, we are also doing the tourist thing

Hey, I know you guys like pics, so I'll keep em coming.
We went to the beach for some (shock) fishing (Thanks Jimbob for teaching Gabe)


Our mastiff had her first walk on the beach (lake lanier doesn't count)


Then we pretended to have the CC with us for a pull (boy was the Adriatic coast flat...)


Oh and after seeing skutch's work in the yard, I had to use the ride on that our landlord left us, beer and did this

Gabe is enjoying school and helping me out sometimes


At least he gets to spend time one something fun with an engine...while mom does not like my idea of a Ducati or Vespa...


snow started to fall this weekend in the mountains close by


Oh and my dad had a heart and got me this bad boy (chicken was prep for turkey day this week and then I'll try a brisket)



Jimbob, your company produces the BGE and you should get a 50% discount once! So unless you already did that, I got dibs on that!!!

While we did have to work Thursday and Friday, we still thought of ya'll and had a Saturday turkey dinner.
We brined the bird over night and injected him with a butter/rum mix

Most of the rum however magically ended up inside of me LOL

The we got the Joe up to 350f and put the bird on


The hardest part is not seeing what smells to good and sounds like heaven (other than the sound of our boat which we miss)



We basted that bad boy every hours with some butter/rum


And then waited and waited haha


Happy (belated) Thanksgiving ya'll

Since I'm boat less, this is what I did last weekend
Step by step
0.5 you should consume a nice adult beverage and keep repeating till the party starts, then increase intensity of said step.
1. Bought a good brisket. Seriously, this is important. You can't polish a turd. No need to buy Kobe or anything, just good marbling, a thick flat, and not too much hard fat.



2. Trim some hard fat of and rub the meat (the brisket, not the sausage). 1/2 cup onion powder and each 1/4 cup of kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.
3. Light the smoker and settle in at a stable 225-250F.
5. Add soaked apple wood chunks to the lump charcoal (and a aluminum pouch with soaked rosemary and 2 holes in the top) and get your meat on there.
Mine went on at midnight last Friday.



6. Your cook time will vary between 1-1.5 per lb. You should be checking your temps every few hours to make sure your fire has neither gone out nor gotten too hot. There will be a period at which the internal meat temp stops rising, often for several hours. This is called the stall, and usually happens around 165 or so. This is where people who like to wrap their meat do so in either foil or butcher paper. It's not necessary, just personal preference. I don't wrap my meat. Not since getting married anyway.
7. When the internal meat temp hits 180 start testing for doneness. You want to see if all the fat has rendered and the connective tissue has all broken down. In other words, a very tough cut of meat is now like jelly. I jiggle mine to see if it's ready. It should be very soft and jiggly (like a fat girl's titties). You're typically going to pull it off the smoker at 185-195 internal temp.



8. Wrap in double layers of heavy duty foil. Then wrap in towels, and put in a cooler. Not the one with ice and beer in it, dumbass. You can let it rest there for up to 4 or 5 hours. It will still be steaming hot. You want to let it rest at least an hour or 2 though.

Since Adam stopped posting about his adventure and we are all still in hibernation mode, here some update and pics for ya
The wife and son are still happy but miss the states.
Our baby, aka the dog, is not coping as well as we wish with the move to Italy and she is now on antidepressants (good thing is vets are cheap here!!!) and finally back to her own self (not to myself, try her pills one day)



I'm getting the hang of the brisket smoking thing and can't wait to do one for ya'll once we move back



To the outside world I have acclimated well and now fit right in LOL
(Actually that is one of the rare days I wear a suit but that day my boss left and I'm now stuck with his job and have more things to look after grrr)



Carnival is a big thing in some parts of Europe in spring. Monkey do as monkey sees, so we dressed up and had a blast (obviously I'm Dr Love aka The Demon)





We also miss all the redneck things you can do in the US of A, hence we built a fire pit and started burning stuff...and drink beer



What else can I tell ya? We miss the boat and time we spend with ya'll, so I decided to use the time here in order to get into ski shape and started crossfit.
Instead of lunch I work out and love it. Not only do I loose weight and gain strength, I actually sleep better (which for us old guys is a big deal right).



I'll keep ya'll posted on the plans for this summer in ATL and hope some of you find the time to visit us here.

Adam, you up yet? Your not keeping us updated! Guess you bought a Sanger and no longer want to hang with the cool folks here....

So we are starting to see signs of spring, with rain and moderate temps.
Biggest problem, or heavy in this case is the dog loves to be a pig out in the mud.
The result is a happy dog (for an hour) and a less than pleased dog mom and leads to this



I continue to work on getting into ski shape, hitting a new PR last weekend with a 308 lbs squat (what else is there to do, with the boat being 5k miles away..)



And then we got this new game called "Pie Face". It's like Russian roulette but with whipped cream. What a great game! Must try this drunk once...maybe bring it to one of the reunions!!!



Can't wait for the summer to come and spending the vacation in ATL

Well, last week I got a break and had to fly to the US of A for work.
I managed to squeeze in a weekend in ATL and wanted to stop in Charlotte but my boss had a different idea, hence only ATL.
After seeing Adam in great shape due to boxing, I had to start the weekend with a workout



The out to the lake. She started right up after 8 month of rest (I'm sure that's due to the deep cycle marine battery I have...or did Pete pass the 30k mark?)



Conditions were not optimal and boy am I rusty after such a long break but nothing would have stopped me from footing that weekend



While on the lake, I was blessed to run into these nice folks



And we ended Saturday with a sunset cruise on my buds tug



Sunday we had more fun on the lake and skied but my personal challenge was to master a headstand on the paddle board (try it...)



The remainder of the week I got sucked into work and my plans to meet Greg and Larry went down the s@#*%er...

So apparently they wanted me to work a lot while here so I spend tons of time throughout Europe which sounds nice but is not as it keeps me away from he folks I'd much rather spent time with. Other than that we are doing good and enjoying the time here.
No plans to move back yet thou but the silver lining if now is the vacation in ATL (Lanier crew note these dates, no excuses August 5th till 22nd!!!).

On one of my last trips I took the wife with me and we had some nice days in Madrid (worth a trip!)



Pool season is finally upon us and Gabe is constantly dragging over friends (I hope his girl/boy ratio stays like this throughout his teens ha)




Since there is little in form of watersport right now, I keep hitting the gym (new PR 180kg)



And the Misses is happy with all the fancy stuff they have here



We miss ya'll and hope to see ya soon. Timbob use your passport and come over, we'll hook you up with Italian Kim!!!

Don't bulk up so much that you won't fit into your barefoot suit or be able to get both arms in front of you. When you have access to a skiboat then let me know and I'll head over. Do they have Kims in Italy?

Gary I think we better leaves Donalds work pics off the site as they really are for ladies only!

Timbob, at my age I don't think I run a risk in bulking up too much...I'm happyt if the sacle moves down thou

Well Natascha's big 40 is coming up soon and this is what I got her (don't tell her as the birthday is 3 weeks away).
It should cover the midlife crisis part, style, fun ...
I'll get a big bow for it.

1982 Vespa PK 50s with a 75cc racing kit (also don't tell her that part ha)

So during my short summer vacation I finally got some time to foot again and see my CCF bros!


Then the family had some fun time in Rome. Great city and must be visited if you ever make it to Italy!




I continued the bbq journey and tried a reverse sear on these puppies. Turned out great and is a keeper technique




And since I still don't have a ski boat here, I keep trying to get into ski shape for the next season

Let's just hope all that muscle doesn't go to his head!

He'll get back to the states and start lifting the 12oz curls again and that 6 pack will turn back into a case!

Wow, that sounds like a quite the U-turn! Sorry to hear you are selling the boat, but hope this is a good opportunity for you.
