Hi!

[noo_b_nomnoms]

You need a french press :D

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_press

I like that idea!

[noo_b_nomnoms]

Greetings and welcome noo_b_nomnoms! I used to be a Jacksonviller, travelling I-10 and I-95 daily... now I'm a Linuxgriller, travelling the I/O information super highway!

Whew! I-95 can be a solid bitch sometimes! Florida is my favorite state, though! I haven't been down that way in a few months :( We have a lot of drivers from Florida- they get a lot of those loads. Only fair, though. If I need a load to get home to Louisiana they will give me priortity over others.
I hope the I/O route is working out for you!

How did I double post, lols! I will get the hang of this!

[machinebacon]

Happens sometimes, don't worry :D

removed double post. welcome to the grill you filthy noob. be sure to take a stroll around the bbq wiki :)
here's the quintessential Dutch trucker's song for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQrmaqM24pM

Hello and welcome Americanized Rusty!

@nomnoms - you sound like a nice guy :)
Btw, we love food here too, there is even a thread somewhere with various dishes + pics, so please share some good cajun cooking if you want :)

Cheerio

Hello nbn, and welcome. Like frank said, we have an irc channel too that some of us hang out on sometimes. Sometimes a good place to shoot the shit, or ask some questions. We're on freenode at #linuxbbq. I'm also a hobbyist, living a mullet style life. Family, work, play.

Anyway, welcome.

Welcome noms!

Kondor, your avatar. Is that an old Mac system 7 init icon?

^ i think it's Windows icon for 'run program' from Windows XP era... perhaps i'm wrong :)

[noo_b_nomnoms]

IRC, Might give that a go as soon as I pick this load up and get to my second break! I have a long day, today!
I just made grilled egg and cheese sandwiches for breakfast- they tasted better than they looked, so no pics, lols!
The wiki was where I figured out how to set up my 500gb HOME usb so I could get to my stuff, and where I learned how to install and setup a config file for flash :) That wiki has some priceless (and also some damn funny) information!
The trucks in that video! I am a cabover lover! Those were some beautiful trucks! Thanks!
konder, singin, and dkeg,franksinitra (love that name) machinebacon,and rhowaldt! Thanks for the welcome!

^^^ it's an extension not loading, either excluded, or ooh can't recall which one exactly probably the first one where the fast graphics didn't load, I seem to recall trouble shooting that 15+ years ago.
looks more OS 8/9 to me.

I am a Community Dark Roast fan. A born in Louisiana Cajun:)
Unfortunately, that is hard to find on the road, so it's the dark roast at the Pilot and the Loves that I gravitate towards :)

Machinebacon's idea of the french press is pretty good... I haven't given any thought to that! We did pick up a RoadPro 12 volt coffee maker at a Buckees in Texas once. It only makes a cup at a time, but it is so worth it (especially if you grab a 36-oz bag of Eight O'Clock French Roast for $25 at Walmart or H-E-B.)

Also, FWIW, Avery Island, Louisiana is somewhere everyone should go at least once in their life. I kid you not, you can smell the Tabasco Peppers from the moment you cross the toll to the island.

I hauled a gas buster to the lease sitting in the middle of their pepper fields once! I love my Tabasco! I use it with just about everything! I will actually carry a bottle into restaurants that I know don't carry it, lols!

^ :D
Bloody hell, I am getting hungry!

[noo_b_nomnoms]

Ya wouldn't like what I'm making! I fell into a dozen bags of cole slaw mix (the raw purple and white cabbage and carrots- shredded), but I don't like cole slaw, except with certain dishes. As I type I am cooking a bag of this stuff down with jalapeno peppers, cilantro, green onions, corn, and blackeyed peas. Butter and sea salt and two links of hot and spicy sausage also included. It looks a mess, but taste testing contradicts :)

[simgin]

^ Lol, sounds good mate. Take a pic and post in the forum http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=21
If you want ofc, no pressure cooker here :D

[noo_b_nomnoms]

All I have is my phone, and I haven't tried plugging it in to see what happens, lols! I gotta get back to work, but I might have to test that later ;) I do luvs to test!

@nomnomnom: forum-posting tips (bloat prevention) for you:

1. to refer to a post above yours, you can use these little fuckers: ^^^. so three would refer to the post 3 posts above.
2. to refer further back (because ^^^^^^^^ gets too confusing), use @. also useful for referring to multiple people in a single post:
@wux: i dont think i've ever met a man like you.
@Dr: nice avatar mate
@rhowaldt: thanks for giving my noob-ass some tips to avoid forum bloat, bitch.
3. quoting is another way of referring back to another post. however, given the 2 options above, it is often unnecessary. excessive quoting is the number 1 reason for forum bloat. it lengthens the page unnecessarily, and forces everybody to read a certain part again, which they don't want cause they read it already, so they need to skip over that part, interrupting their reading flow and thus fucking up their entire day, week, or life. so, only quote when it is a relevant, specific part of a post you are referring to. for example, if Wux posts:
"this morning i woke up and sat behind my computer. my wife brought me coffee and kissed me on my balding head. this gave me a instant boner."
you could quote

this gave me a instant boner

because it is "an instant boner". quoting the entire thing would make no sense and just bloat shit up.

use these tips to your advantage to keep everybody's day as smooth as a horse's behind, and all will be good. deduct 3 noob points - almost ready to level up.
