Ribs DeBoer

Get boneless country style ribs... but any cut will do I just hate
wasting space by adding the bone in there.

You Need:
Pork Country Style ribs boneless. (I like to cook about 8-12 lbs)
Liquid Smoke
Lawry's Seasoning Salt
2 litre of some cola full sugar... but you only use about 2-3 cans worth
BBQ sauce

A dutch oven and a grill and regular oven.

Directions:
Use a big dutch oven or other big pot. Mine has a custom rack in the
bottom that lifts the meat off of the liquid that sits about an inch
high.

Put the rack in the bottom of the pot. Fill pot with 1/2" of water
or so (halfway to the meat).

sprinkle the meat while in the plastic on the top side with lawry's
seasoned salt.

lay that seasoned side down in one layer and pour a sugarry cola on
like coke or Dr.Pepper basting the meat. How much cola?...
Well...Watch your liquid level in the bottom and plan out the same
amount of cola going in for the next two or three layers of meat.
(You don't want the liquid touching the underside of the lower layer
of ribs when finished.)

So you've poured some cola now sprinkle with lawry's again the top side.

add another layer of seasoned-side-down meat.

pour some more cola on, basting this next layer.

sprinkle some lawry's on the top side of the new meat layer.

add another layer of seasoned side-down meat, sprinkle lawry's and
cola-ize if you have room...

then pour two or three "cap-fulls" of Liquid Smoke kinda down a gap
in the meat and a few drops on the meat on the top.

bake in oven at about 300 degrees for 2-4 hours or 250 for 3-5 hours.

Then pull the meat out carefully since it will want to fall apart and
place the pieces on something so that you can start slathering your
favorite BBQ sauce on them. grill them for a bit to carmelize the
sauce and fill your gut until you can barely move from the table

Oil cooler adapted to a 1982 CB650

I found a guy in Oz who machines an adapter plate in between the oil filter cover and the crankcase. We will run lines going in and out of the adapter plate up to an oil cooler from a later model bike like a CB900 or a nighthawk from the mid-80's.

He needed a picture of the area just to machine it perfectly so I posted some here for him.

I'll have to remove the horn I bet, hopefully I can keep my chains that work as my bar stop so that the clubmans don't hit the tank.

Raask Rear sets

Here is a close-up of the rear sets I purchased from Omar's Cafe online.  The ones they have for the Honda CB650 are not quite what is shown for the other bikes.  They are a huge clunky piece of melted pot metal.  But every hole is in the right spot and the only thing needed was a longer through bolt that went from one side of the frame through the engine and out the other side.
The rear brake pedal is actually the stock CB650 that I cut and welded then had the local truck bed liner guy dip it for me for 5 bucks- it adds a bit of traction from the oil the bike spurts out all over my legs and boots.

Cheers to the forum guys at SOHC4 that wanted some close-up pics.

Nine pockets of nothing

Most people serve sake warmed. I've never had it any other way. I inherited a bottle of Yaegaki through a friend's kitchen remodel. But I'm not sure it was taken care of properly. I didn't know it was in the bag of liquor for days. I thought we were getting Blue Curacao and vermouth remnants. It should have been chilled. It could be a tad "off" but how am I to know what is good or bad. I'm no connoisseur. In fact, I just read a taster's comment on ratebeer.com that said "jet fuel and alcohol bouquet" or something.

Anyway, I fixed it over ice with San Pelligrino, and a floater of gewurztraminer that my wife inadvertently opened.

I've still barely had a sip of it because it really isn't that rad. It's just killing the old taste of dinner from a few hours ago.

I had just a sip or two of the jet fuel while doing the dishes and timing my eight-year-old on practice tests of single digit multiplication tables...9x4, 5x5, etc. She got done with her first one with one second to spare and only missed one. I took a break from the dishes and reset the oven timer. I sat down to take the test with her and I asked Regan to find the START" button.

"What letter do you think "sssstaaart" starts with?"

Anyway, I finished with 1:45 remaining. When Avery was done I asked her to check mine against hers and see if any are different.

"Don't assume I got them right".

We argued over 9x4. "Nope. It's 36. What's 4x10? Now subtract 4." (I am pretty sure that this kind of instruction is pretty backward and I look forward to the teachers in my life having a laugh.)

The sake seemed to have turned on a different part of my brain and turned off another. I missed 3 problems. And they were the three on the test that included a zero. 3x0... I put "3", 9x0 I wrote "9". And I belly laughed when Avery showed me. It was the kind of laugh you do just to hide that much shame in an instance that doesn't matter. Then that other part of my brain that doesn't get exercised jumped up and said to Avery, "When do you ever work out a problem in real life with a zero?!!?"

I put my hand in the pockets of my fleece housepants and dramatically questioned to her "Let's see,... if I have nine pockets of nothing how much money do I have?"

A poignant statement in a recession I reckon.

I know I'm a dreamer, but you must admit they are the coolest dreams.
