BBQ? In Vermont? I’ll just stay here…

Used to be the case… but Darryl is an army combat vet. Took his GI bill and went to culinary school and got a masters in something like food science studying meat and then working with folks all over USA to perfect BBQ and smoking techniques. His BBQ is unreal! He is a good Christian and donated massively to the community. Helped save some (competing) restaurants during covid…

Don’t knock it… this ain’t no ordinary Yankee BBQ!

Ah. First generation introduced to padded dashes and seatbelts. No wonder you kids are so soft.

Farm vehicle when I was a little kid was a Land Rover IIa with a fisher plow.

Padding? Ah hahhahaha.

On the other hand… no cigarette lighter, either! So skull crushing was likely. Burns not so much.

That is really worth watching.

You see how he really is. At first very defensive, who would not be. Some stranger comes up filming you, what are you going to think. Then he goes into his channel and recording different New York things, he really opens up and shows us he is a regular guy.

Contrast that with how others are that are in the public eye.
 
When "Remember Pearl Harbor" just isnt getting the message across.

26-inch thick armor from Japanese Yamato class battleship, pierced by a US Navy 16-inch gun

There was a difference in the "quality" of japanese steel and US steel in the 30's. The US and other european steels are just "better". The US 16 really had the power of the Japanese 18. The japanese had to go to the 18 because they could not make a 16" gun that would take pressures so they got there with a larger bore and weight. One reason the two ships, really three the carrier shinano was converted from a yamoto class ship that was not finished had to be so big and heavy, to give them the same punch as the american and british ships.

Fun fact the 18" guns also had an AA role. Basically a big shotgun, but reports from american pilots say it was not too much to worry about, but it sure was pretty to look at.

I know, we made the best steel in the world, My Grandfather was a supervisor for Bethlehem Steel in Pittsburg.
