:rofl

we need to go to Backdraft... Woodschapel rd in Blue Springs. They even have a rip special on Wednesday.

I have more, but its too early in the morning to think of them.

An offbeat idea to the BBQ tangent would be Mongonlian BBQ at 95th and Quivira. The businees to the east has closed so there is parking for probably a hundred cars. I think we should do Stonewall when the weather cools a little so we could take advantage of the great outdoor patio. Parking is limited here also due to construction.

Smokin' Joe's BBQ

816-421-2282 101 Southwest Boulevard, Kansas City, MO 64108

Also this place. They cater to our business for our Thursday lunch meetings. It is fantastic.

Asked my boss since I couldn't think of anything. He suggessted

Rosedales - somewhere on SW Trafficway
KC Masterpiece 435 and Metcalf
Famous Dave's out by the racetrack

Theres a place in down town lee's summit that is an old time filling station.. its on douglas..

Also Summit Pit BBQ is very good, its just off 50 hwy in lee's summit.

those just came to mind while I was upstairs.. thought id post before I forget.

Wyandotte BBQ - 75th and Metcalf

Good start, folks.

I may get the urge to google OMGWTFBBQKC and create the Frapper/map thing that I appropriated from Brandon's subconsciousness.

you left Gates off the conquests list....

not that I have A/C and my car gets good gas mileage... I may be able to finally hual my butt down there...

Good call. "Hai! May I hep yew?!?"

Haul more than just your butt. None of us will feed you if that's all you bring...

Hugo might go for it if he was here.... :electric

DOH!

I need to gather up the lincoln crowd and we'll pile down in the e36 for some BBQ goodness.

After I get my license back on the 22nd of this month I'm game for a trip to Nebraska. Brutesquad and I need to have a drink off.(That and I wanna mooch off his ladies).

Helmut: That's a plan. Let's make it happen.

vermont street BBQ, downtown Lawrence? parking might be an issue.

you left Gates off the conquests list....


I thought it all started at Gates with Ted, Rob, Me and Left Coast Bias. :dunno

Not a very big crowd that night. Has the group been back since?

The parking there is limited FTL. :(

Wyandotte BBQ - 75th and Metcalf


Their stuff is... OK. Not my favorite bbq in town, but it's acceptable.

The parking lot is about medium sized.

I've also wondered about doing a tech session and BBQ on the deck/grill at someones house type of thing.

Not sure if that's possible/wise to do or not.. considering it'd be a "pitch in" for the food and cook it there.. or a pot luck kinda thing.

I've considered the idea at my house a few times... I can probably fit 12 cars or more on my driveway and if it's dry, some can be in the grass.


Just something to think about...

I thought it all started back then too... Wyandotte was ok, nothin great. I just had a beef and pork sandwich though...

I'd be game for a function at someones house. I think it'd be great to do in the fall when the temps have simmered a bit.

I totally agree. Fall is my busy season, but it's also when I have better funds to play around too.

A fender rolling session would be great, or any other quickie mods like changing an exhaust or medium task like do a drop/suspension.

I think between most of us combined we've all done something that someone else has yet to do or will be doing soon.

So I have some new tires, but my fenders REALLY need rolled before I can put them on. I don't want to ruin them. When are we gonna have our manky praty? And is a mustang invited?

Make it happen yo. You know who to contact.:shifty

Can anyone say roadtrip? :devillook

bump..

If Sparky were here, he'd be on this and we woulda had our tummies full of BBQ by now...

So whut's up? We gonna ditch August all together or what? :shifty


Rob, you got any action going on getting those rims on yet?

I am calling powder coaters today.



You guys have less than 15 days to feast upon smoked meat goodness.

I will make effort to print out your avatar, frame it and make sure it get's a chair of it's own at all the BBQ gtg's you can't attend. :(

Alright you squids. I just got through feeding these young'uns about 10lbs of meat apiece and I haven't eaten all day.

Where: I'll put in a vote for the Mongolian with the big parking lot for a change of pace and easy location.

When: Next Wed. teh 23rd.

Steve, are those Bengal Tigers?

I'll do that too.. sorry i dropped the ball, i was hoping rob was coming in town soon, but its all good..

Lets do Back draft on Sept 13th... weekly rib special on wed

Duly noted.

I've updated the first post with an Upcoming Events section as well.


Bengal/Siberian mix, Blane. But absofukin' loveable in a deadly, super predator sort of way. It's nice that while building the rest of the enclosures I can go lie down beside the bars and one will come over and lay down next to me and let me rub his chin and ears in that cat-way. Inevetably, another brother has to come over for attention as well.

I'm always looking for manpower (womanpower, too) on Saturdays, especially on large projects I'm pushing through like the enclosures and habitat. Even one spare set of hands makes a big difference. Bloody stumps to distract the cats.

ROB!














You are missed.

I thought something about them was different than a full Bengal. It's like their face is not as fluffy/broad as a pure Bengal.

I take it this is not a petting zoo? IE, outsiders not allowed to touch the kitties, whatsoever?

So do you project a dominant role to the cats? IE you are the Alpha cat and they are Beta, Delta, Gamma... just like you must be with dogs?

Beta, Gamma, Delta...:D

Beta, Gamma, Delta...:D


yea,yea,yea...

wonder why gamma is before delta... :confused

I'm the silverback.

The larger male cats tend to react to me that way and many have reared up at me while I'm in cleaning cages (a paw swipe from a 600lb cat packs a whallop). The problem is I'm still taller than they are when standing and that's grounds for challenging social heirarchy.

Sometimes I'll play into it, grabbing their paws or letting them swipe me and just taking it without giving in. I think it also bugs them that I can stand upright longer than they can. I also hold eye contact which is a MASSIVE challenge. But in the end, when I feed or brush them they're mellow as can be. Never trust one, tho.

With the cubs, it's mainly that I've been a provider for them since they were born. A few of us have. I spent the most time playing with them since they quickly outgrew everyone else at the park. (here's a pic at 6mos. with my ex who's about 5'8")

http://www.steveklein.cc/images/bnc1.jpg

Really, it's that I've spent a lot of bonding time with them. Like I said earlier, when I take a break I'll just hang out with them for a while as if I'm one of the gang. It's odd, but I project that mentally about every part of my bearing as well. Just as with the larger cats I don't show any fear or intimidation.

Leonard is the oldest male and if you turn your back and walk away he'll roar full tilt. After the first two times made me jump, I changed my response to a mellow 'What?' as I turn back to face him. Letting him know I'm not afraid but not angry either. And body language is key. Most times I'll turn half to the side and ease away from them to avoid arousing their aggressive responses. If I'm crouched and rubbing one on the nose, it may be content as hell, but if I just stand straight up abruptly they can get pissed off in a heartbeat.

Yeah, unfortunately it's not a petting zoo. As keepers we handle them as much as we can because we've spent years fostering a bond so we can work with/amongst them, but any of the cats would act nonchalant to lure you in and have a hold of your arm before you realized it. They still do that to me and I have to be very aware of what their mood is and what they're paying attention to in the environment so something doesn't surprise them and make them latch on to me.

Case in point: Moving a group back by the leopards where we don't have a view fence yet (stupid and in violation of our insurance, so I don't know why we did it) so they could see the cubs, a couple with two kids paused and was looking at Vudu who wouldn't take his eyes off the 7 year old boy

(vudu)
http://www.steveklein.cc/images/vudu10.jpg

I was guarding Brandy, the black leopard and Shelly was standing near the corn crib between Vudu and the family and as soon as the family turned to go, Vudu sprang from his pearch right up against the cage. In a split second he realized that the back of Shelly's leg was right next to an opening for his water pail and he had a hold of her right at the back of the knee.

I was 6 feet away and saw all this in slow motion. I knew he was going to pounce, but didn't realize Shelly was standing in EXACTLY the wrong spot. FORTUNATELY, he let go almost immediately and she only had four puncture wounds, but it happens just that fast.

http://www.steveklein.cc/images/vudu2.jpg

http://www.steveklein.cc/images/vudu6.jpg



And yet, because of the years I've spent talking to him, feeding him and bribing him with grass, I get moments like this:

http://www.steveklein.cc/images/vudu8.jpg

cool pics.


I can only imagine just how fast those cats really are.

I've seen housecats in action and imagine it's about the same, but much larger and much more powerful.

Sounds like it's a challenge to exert authority/domination with them.

Yes, they are amazingly quick. Not just physically, but in temprament as well.

And actually, the challenge is to sidestep the whole dominance/authority issue since that's what gets them worked up.

Dayum. I'm going to have to get a BBQ fix today...

I'm having the most bastardized BBQ lunch ever... Wyandotte plain beef and pork sandwich with Bryants sauce on it and dipping my fries into Gate sauce. It is interesting to compare them at once.

So? Don't leave us in suspense!

Review!

you eating it while typing?


Damnit!!!

Imma gonna have to run up to THE ORIGINAL wyandott BBQ here in a minute..

This is my first AB's experience, so it isn't pure... The lil bit of Wyandotte sauce that made it on has a very cinnamon-y finish to it. My best assessment of the AB's is its a lot like Lowry's seasoning salt. Is that cumin that gives it that flavor? The gates is also good, not as biting as the AB's not as sweet as the W-dot though. Its good for fries, but I might like the sweet Gates a bit better for dipping...

So? Don't leave us in suspense!

Review!


It's so so..

It passes par. And it's not terribly pricey either.

YUP! I bought Papa Kenos for me and the boss yesterday, so we went with BBQ today. I mentioned the mixing and got a very mean look from him.

Steve and I were trying to hook up some lunch plans via PM a few minutes ago.. but he is now being held up.

AB's tastes just like A1 sauce to me.

AB's tastes just like A1 sauce to me.

Regular AB's? I don't get that at all. So if Steve has BBQ for lunch, do the tigers get BBQ hands for a snack?

Blasphemy!

Now I want BBQ. :bawl

And some nice Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat. :beer

next time we do the AB's bit, Imma gonna bring a bit of A1 sauce and we will compare.

I bet you will be shocked just how close they really are. Either that or I'm just crazy :eyecrazy


Think Steve isn't gonna be visiting the kitties today after lunch.. sounds like he's kinda busy today with the work that pays the bills.

Now I want BBQ. :bawl

And some nice Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat. :beer

well, get your ass back to KC!

I'm outta here.. I'm STARVED now..

I am shooting for a visit Labor Day weekend. Detail will follow in the next few days.

Just throwing this out there.... You live out by the track riiiiight? How's aboot a Sept. tech session at your place and then go get AB's out there?

:drool:

I came across something that I don't think we have had as an option, ALL YOU CAN EAT BBQ!!!!!! Saloon Ranch Chop House at the Legends Mall has all you can eat BBQ ribs, beef and pork, on Tuesday nights for $18.99. We had supper there tonight and I had a BBQ beef sandwich that was pretty good. They also have a mechanical bull that you can ride for $3. Lots of video screens and they play music fairly loud. They do have some outside seating and that might be better for a group. Parking sucks, the place is so busy. There is a parking garage, maybe we could get the roof or something. If we stay until 9:30 they have karaoke, oh boy.

ALL YOU CAN EAT RIBS!!!!!!!!!

Just throwing this out there.... You live out by the track riiiiight? How's aboot a Sept. tech session at your place and then go get AB's out there?

that's an idea..

that and see Dean's post about the buffet one too.

A tech thing or installafest would be fun, but would probably need to be a Saturday. We would just get started on a weeknight and then need to head out and eat or it would 10pm by the time we ate. Unless we did a to-go thing and brought all the BBQ over to Seekers place.

If I ever find the funds, I have to completely rebuild my front suspension.

CA's, ball joints, TieRods, Struts, strut bearings, springs... it's majorly shot.

Prollly a 4hr job. I've never done susp. work before.

It's so bad right now I gotta quit driving the car. :(

We could easily do a tech session.

I want to find a set of stock '95 M springs and get rid of my H&R OE Sports, and at the same time replace the one tie rod that I haven't, sway bar bushings and end links.

I've done the front end two times before and it's not too bad. I've got a tool to unbolt the shock from the upper spring hat as well.

Never did get my BBQ. Wound up having coffee and a muffin. Talk about disappointment. And still wading through .asp scripts.


Also, with Dean's assistance, I've changed the oil and tranny to Royal Purple products and MAN what a difference. Smoother all around and the engine feels more free to rev. I did run about 3/4 can of SeaFoam in the crank case for about five minutes holding the revs up to 3k for a bit and I'm sure that flushed out a lot of gunk.

Thanks again, Dean!

No problem, you're more than welcome. See you all Wednesday.

never heard of the seafoam trick.

I may have to drop my oilpan in the future to inspect the dreaded oil pump nut defect.. on M50/S50's they have been known to back out and when that happens you totally loose oil pressure.. a devastating loss if it happens on the highway.. wont' be able to notice the light and shut it off in time in most cases.

I'm rocking the RoyalPurple in my ZF. Nice smooth shifts, but it's evidently a bit thin and the LTWFW causes a very loud gear rattle noise with AC on.. UUC/Rob said there's a thicker mixture of fluids that's suppose to quiet it down quite a bit.. but I bet when it get's cold that it'll be really stiff until it warms up.


I wont be able to come in my car to the BBQ deal.. she just simply cannot be driven until I get this susp. issue resolved.. IE poop out $$$ for parts that I simply don't have at the moment to source out to right now.. all my service vehicles are begging for attention and they come first.

Fancy pantsy! What time? 7ish?

Shidd. Dunno.

When Rob was here, we always shot for 6:30, but 7:00's fine for me.

Show of hands:

Who plans on attending?

Let's try to get a semi-accurate count so if we have to get a larger table we won't have the wait we did at Jack Stack.

I'll be there, but I'm trying to figure how I'm going to work my wednesdays with my jiu jitsu classes...

I'll be there..

sans bimmer, but I'll make it.

I'll either ride out the 'ol Honda bike or take one of my hooptie vans.

see ya there!

New OMGWTFKCBBQ banner added.

Time for bones. TTFN.

I'll be there.

ill be there at 7:00 with the new nose on

Sweet! Drive safely!

Theres a place in down town lee's summit that is an old time filling station.. its on douglas..

Also Summit Pit BBQ is very good, its just off 50 hwy in lee's summit.

those just came to mind while I was upstairs.. thought id post before I forget.

and there was a place off of murry and obrian next to 50 called ribs and stuff, they were out of business but someone bought them out and its now called holy smoke bbq

Will have another attendee, another co-worker of mine with an '01 325xi.

Noice.

I'm already starving...

well i was going to make it out there but a few wrong turns and it becomes 730 and then 745 so i just said forget it and went home. plus i have a few things to fix on the car untill i fell that she is worthy of showing off.

Mongolian BBQ aftermath check in..


slim attendance. but made it easier to have cross talk.

height of the evening was when we discovered a 7" long Preying Mantis on the 325xi front tire.

Steve was skeered and dropped his cellphone mantis prod.. :rofl


the food was good, but I'd have to say it doesnt belong on the KCBBQ list and not in the proper class to give a rating like REAL KCBBQ.

Well... I had previos plans with a nice female.. but she got sick.. soo I decided to stay home, get something done and do a little drinking since this is like my saturday because of my work schedule.. I don't like M-BBQ either.. and with the price of gas I just said screw it.

don't blame ya.

mongolian stir fry(is what they should call it) was OK, but it's def. not KCBBQ.

When I found out at the last minute what it was, I just about said screw it too! :devillook

But it's not too far from me and I rode my little 500 Honda bike out to save on gas.
Something that almost turned into a disaster at the last turn lane when I did not spot a big piece of cardboard right before the left turn light.. I hit my front brake square in the middle of it and it was OMG I'm going down.. it slid the bike about 4ft before I let off the brake and rolled over it, hit the brake again so I wouldnt ass end the car in front of me that was stopped, waiting for the left turn light to change. :eek:

I wont' go in about the biker that was ahead of me earlier that ran from a cop...

That was probobly my brother :(

I have an old Yamaha, but I need to find a electical savy person to help me source my problems so I can ride it. I would love to have my bike running..

C'mon B. That fooker was HUGE! He knew we just ate, too, the way he was eyeballin' us.

Good eats, but definitely not BBQ in the sense of OMGWTFKCBBQFTMFW.

Looks like the next meet will feature out of town guest Rob for another raid on ABs.

Shit that thing was huge. Almost flew off with my phone.

I wish I could've seen the mantis. I love those things. Biggest one I've seen was about 4 inches long and I was impressed.

Unfortunately I am like 2 days behind in one class and a week behind in the other, and I have a test in each next week. So I'll pretty much be killing myself studying til next Friday. But the good news is that means Labor Day weekend I won't have anything to study for!

It was hilarious when the mantis lurched at you just a little bit.

That sucker was checking us out though.. I forgot how they can turn/cock their heads like people do.. he'd look over at Ted, then me, then you..

Like, "Come on you mofo's.. I'll take all yaz biatchez on.. drop the cell phone and fight me like a real man!!!" :rofl

I think you would been very impressed with this one. I've never seen one as huge as this guy was.

I bet onlookers wondered WTF these grown men were doing crouched down around this little focker.. and then all of them squeal like little girls when the sum biatch lurched out at us.

friggin hilarious.. too bad nobody showed up with a camera :( .. he sure seemed photogenic.

I enjoyed the GTG, and food was good, but not as good as some the regular BBQ. Next time "real" meat for sure. I'll miss Spark's return, I going to Colorado that weekend.

And I just found out that we are getting Oklahoma Joe's BBQ for lunch today!!!!!!
