Is the top one chicken and bbq sauce? I'll give that a try, you can keep that olive BS slice at the bottom.
Yeah. The top was fried chicken cutlet with a bbq sauce. It was sweet but not overpowering.
The Buffalo Chicken was solid with a nice zing.
The olive and everything else slice was good. Nothing signature about it, but not bad.

We have a habit of naming our trails after our trail buddies. My friends and I love our dogs. Today we are losing a great buddy. He made it to 18 and can't walk anymore. I'll be thinking about my friend today, having to put down his best friend of the last 2 decades.

RIP Mojo, you were a good boy.

It was his time, none of us could believe he was still going so strong the last couple years. My friend is feeling the pain and also the joy. He can let go and start traveling again, doing stuff he's had to put off because Mojo couldn't muster the energy.

Well that test was brutal. Still passing, but at threshold. They are intentionally getting harder with more ambiguous answers. Next test in 1hr when we get home from K1.

I've been here almost 22 years and I'm still constantly surprised by what a half assed fucking operation we run. :disgust1:
I really really think that most of us must work for the same company and just not know it.

I other news it is 1,000,000,000 % relative humidity here. I don’t know how you east coast people tolerate this weather…

$350MM lump sum, less say, a third in taxes? so $230MM-ish clear?

shit, he could get extra cheese on his whopper with that kind of scratch.
41.4% in CO, just on Fed (37%) and state (4.4%). Closer to $206mm :rolleyes:

If I pull it off? Open budget racing. Oh yeah... $206mm @ 6% yield, assuming zero spending of principal is $1.0mm PER MONTH for 50 years. So yeah. I can make that happen. Uncle @Nick might get his air cooled Porsche.

that's why I'm askin....

I mean it's going to be a very non-capitalist government. A loving, supporting government that takes care of it's citizenry.

I mean we are going to decapitate rabid capitalists.


actually, let me rephrase that steve: I can invite him to thank him for the country right?
i think i said county....not country....

but.....whatever he can pickup cheap...

thank him at your discretion...

66% on this one. 55-70% are average; 55% is passing, so taking it as another positive. 4/4 passed, averaging 62%. I need to look it over in the morning, but I think my brain is done for today. Two more tests and League tomorrow.
