Not recently, but it is about time I did again.  Great on crusty bread rolls with fresh coleslaw.

Is that a porcupine in the oven, Andrew? I didn't realize they lived in Oz

We have echidnas, they sort of look like a porcupine, but taste like crap.  Interestingly though, they lay eggs.

What is in the oven is a nice leg of pork, with the spice rub from this link: http://www.food.com/recipe/smoked-pulled-pork-358428 .  After we pull the meat we mix through a barby sauce the missus makes, it is fan-#$%*ing-tastic.

Well, Santy's been and gone for another year and I suppose next Xmas will be here again before we know it as seems to be the case as the years go by.
The kids had a good time after the joint got trashed with Xmas paper this morning.

We had a barbie for lunch and fired up the aircon this arvo.
It was another stinken hot/humid day and those beers were slidin' down like gods nectar.
Big mobs of thunder and not a drop of rain.

So after a few nectars, I got the drone out for it's first test run.
For some reason, it kept flying into the trees and the house and nearly shredded the washing on the clothes line which would've pissed off the missus. 

It's got a Swan Video Camera with a 2GB SD card on it that takes some bloody good video.
Anyway, here's some drone cam showing how not to do it.

Jesus Mick between Charlie and the drone you should be able to keep the wild life on their toes.

Once you get the pilot to stop drinking before flight, that will take some beautiful video!   
Is that drone made out of the stuff that the black boxes are made of? It survives every crash. 
Merry Christmas and happy flying.

I don't have a drone with a great video camera and that pisses me off.

Merry Xmas Bill and Eric and to everybody here on the board.
The drone is made out of light weight tough plastic and it takes a bit of punishment especially after pruning a few trees with the pilot's impaired flying skills at the controls. 
Well it is Xmas and you have to have a bit of fun.

A couple times it had to be retrieved from the neighbors place when the gusts of wind sent it way off course.
The instructions say that it has a range of 300 feet and I wouldn't mind getting it out into a wide open space without any tall trees and put it through it's paces.

For 120 bucks it's not bad value.
That's if the Federal Aviation Authority doesn't come knocking on the door with a summons for violating their air space. 

[750cafe]

WITH the camera for $120.00? Got a link? I NEED one of those. 
The FAA says that as long as you keep them below 400' and 5 miles from any nearby airport, you are safe.
Just don't equip it with any rockets to shoot at the neighbors and you should do alright.

Here's where I got this one from Eric.
They're an electronics mob here in Oz.

Maybe Amazon might have something available.

Thanks for the link!
Unfortunately, it states that it is only for those 14 years old and older so you and I don't qualify. 
Don't worry, I won't tell on you.

Pork shoulder was really cheap about a year ago, and I was doing one a week, making pulled pork sanwiches. Then I realized it was probably contributing to gout attacks which really piss me off.

I've never seen that prompt before. What the heck. let's see what they are, huh?  Maybe it will piss me off.

[petercb750]

Mick, it's gonna piss you off if the drone gets stuck at the top of one of those palms.....but I reckon it'll sort out them bandicoots....they'll be well pissed off getting buzzed...

[Terry in Australia]

Merry Christmas everyone! (yeah, I know it's the day after Christmas here in Oz, but this is my first chance to wish everyone well, and anyway, it's still Christmas in other parts of the world...........)

Mick, I love that quadcopter, but watching the footage is not helping my hangover mate, I got airsick and nearly chucked! I love that smoker Andrew, pardon my ignorance, do I assume that it's gas fired but burns woodchips to give the meat a smoky flavour? Looks good anyway, I might have to invest in one.

I scored 7 bottles of booze for Christmas, the family has finally realised that I don't want socks and jocks and crap like that, and that's great. 4 bottles of Chivas (including a bottle of 18 year old and a bottle of "Special Blend") a litre of Smirnoff, a bottle of Jameson's and a bottle of Baileys, that should keep me going for a week or so!

For Christmas Eve I put on the annual BBQ for the wife's family (mine live all over the place, so I don't see 'em much) and we had a great night, heaps of red meat and booze, and as I only see most of them at Christmas, lots to bullschidt about. What pissed me off though, is I bought a slab of Crownies and a couple of 10 packs of cider, and fcuk me, by the end of the night all the cider had gone, and no-one drank any of the Crownies? WTF? Don't people drink beer any more?

For Christmas Day, I took the Crownies (and another 10 pack of cider for myself) over to the mother-in-law's place for Christmas lunch, and once again, the ciders all disappeared in the first couple of hours, and I ended up drinking the crownies just to get ride of 'em! Fcuk it, next year I'm not buying any beer, my prediction is that beer will disappear off the face of the earth in the next 5 years!  

[petercb750]

It's easy mate.....don't share....tell them to fcuk off and buy their own booze.....

[Terry in Australia]

Haha, it's OK Pete, I don't really mind, it's just that I didn't have anything else to be pissed off about:)

That's just a typo Eric.
It's supposed to be 54 years old and over.

I did manage to land the drone up in one of the Fox Tail palm trees yesterday Pete.
It had me buggered for a while how the rescue operation was going to take place.
I ended up getting the 6 metre extendable aluminium pool pole and belted the palm fronds until the drone fell out.
That was the hardest job all day yesterday especially with a bit of Xmas cheer on board. 

[dave500]

imagine the #$%* we could've done with those as kids?like dropping firecrackers around and just general scally wag behaviour?now as an adult I hope its only used for nice purposes?like flying it over to the bottle shop for a few extra beers when you cant drive?or fly it into work with a note saying your sick and cant come in today,the uses are endless!push door bells then fly away!

The smoker has a gas burner in the bottom, just above that there is a woodchip tray and above that is a water tray.  Works a treat, gives about an hour and a half of smoke from a tray of hardwood shavings.

Also who tried to tell you that crownies are beer, they are in the same category as VB and bitberger, overpriced cats piss.

[mick7504]

The only good thing about Crownies is that they keep the visitors away when ya tell 'em that you've got a fridge full of the fcukas.

I tried my best to like 'em but it just didn't work.
What I've noticed over the years is that the socialite fcukas seem to think that drinking Crownies is some sorta entry into the elite club.

Trouble is that they don't dig it when you heave ya guts up in front of 'em and start doing animal acts to liven the party up.

 Crownies piss me off. 

[faux fiddy]

I've been of the idea that you can smoke anything in anything if you have to.

The only limitations to that are if the lid won't close down over the slab of meat. You can actually  squeeze a brisket on to a pretty small round weber grill, and keep the fire away from it.

I start with charcoal for hot smoke and then add short pecan branches if I can't get hickory and let them smolder.

The last brisket I did looked like a meteor chunk all blackened with smoke but was  like butter in the middle.

Cold smoking salmon is a whole different ball game.  It pisses me off it's been so long since I had any supply of salmon.

Thanks Andrew, I'll keep my eye out for an Aldi smoker. What's "bitberger"? I've never really been a fan of any beer to be honest, I've drunk (and have been drunk) on every major Aussie brand and many OS beers as well, and the common denominator (to me)  is that they're ALL over priced cats piss.

Sorry, but I'd much rather have a good scotch, or even a nice cider. Interstate rivalry pisses me off too, I couldn't give a fcuk where a brand of beer is brewed, if I liked it I'd drink it, but I haven't found one I really like yet, so it's still just overpriced cats piss to me..............
