Nope, not at all. hickory is great with tenderloin. Of course this is from an old Kentucky farm boy raised smoking his dads country ham and bacon.


I agree Bert. Ymmot knows his stuff, but catfan is very suspect, very suspect. He's so old he probably can't smell or taste the difference anyway. But don't tell him, just let him go.....:smiley::smiley::smiley:FCC.

Science Break:

NASA will celebrate July 4 with the arrival of the Juno spacecraft at Jupiter. (if all goes well) The Juno spacecraft will end its nearly five-year journey through space and embark on a mission to study the planet like never before.

The spacecraft must lock on to Jupiter into what’s called a polar orbit. This is the most dangerous part of the entire Juno mission, and is what NASA will be watching instead of fireworks tonight. As Juno approaches its destination tonight the tremendous gravitational pull of Jupiter will accelerate the spacecraft to blazing speeds of more than 150,000 mph, making Juno one of the fastest human-made objects ever built.

After reaching a max speed of 165,000 mph, fast enough to fly around Earth in 9 minutes, Juno will slam on the breaks by firing its engines.
The engines will fire for 35 minutes straight, burning through 17,600 pounds of fuel in the process. Should anything go wrong, the spacecraft will blast past Jupiter, into deep space with no chance of return. The engine burn will start at 11:18pm ET tonight.

The above photo was taken by Juno on the 29th before its instruments were powered down in preparation for Jupiter orbit insertion. Juno captured this image at a distance of 3.3 million miles from Jupiter.

The burn worked. It is in Jupiter's orbit.
 
  • Good Morning, Y'all.
  • 81º in Johns Creek. Cloudy. Cool breeze. VFR. Hope we get some rain today.
  • Blood Sugar = 95. Weight = 228. Ate too much good tasting food Sat, Sun & Mon.
  • Tom Leach Show going.
  • Dark Magic going.
  • Slept about 10 hours. I have no stamina. Feel a little better physically.
  • The football team will report in about a month.
  • I was trying to walk on at Ole Miss football 55 years ago. Hazing was getting your hair really messed up by the starters. That was all. I was the worst player on the team.
