I can't help but notice the 'MEH' on the landing gear door panel.

Yup, I'm the unindicted co-conspirator. I had nothing to do with it, I solemnly swear.

Over the weekend had a bushel of some big guys courtesy of my uncle.

We use j.o. in the kettle

 

[MaxStout]

OK, I use Old Bay on a lot of things. Crab legs, crab cakes, chicken, fish fillets, etc. The stuff is versatile. But never tried J.O. What's the difference?

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

They are very similar, one difference is old bay sold out to mccormick sometime in the 90's I believe and j.o. is still family owned. Probably a slightly different spice blend (j.o. is darker in color) and I think j.o. has a little more kick to it. If you were sitting at a crab house near the chesapeake they are likely using j.o. to season the crabs. My mother and her family grew up near Havre de Grace Maryland and this is what I always remember using when we would get a fresh bushel. I put some water and vinegar in the bottom of the kettle along with some of the seasoning get it boiling and use something to keep the crabs out of the liquid, toss them in about 15 at a time fit in my pot, sprinkling more j.o. on each one as they go in. About 15 minutes or so and they come out and into a cooler. Once the whole batch is done, dig in.

I need to get back to that area one of these days. Many years ago Uncle Sam sent me to the tidewater area of VA. I remember well the little hole-in-the-wall crab shacks along the bay. One place in particular had a dock out back where the local crabbers would bring them in. You knew they were fresh. Big wooden picnic tables with mallets and digging tools, a stack of freshly-steamed blue crabs and a bucket of iced beers. We'd come out of the place covered in bits of shells and cats would be following us. Damn good times.

We do a big surf & turf thing for friends every so often--steaks on the grill and a mess of king crab legs on the boil. (My old 10 gal brew kettle is now dedicated for that duty.) I usually dump in some Old Bay to add flavor, or sometimes the Zatarains stuff. I'll look for the J.O. online (I've never seen it in stores here).

I giggled at "JO in the kettle" because I'm 8yo

but I would totally try it.

also: looking at your picture, my fingers are feeling shredded

may have to convince the BigHair it's past time to visit our favorite AYCE crab house

Cool tip for Old Bay: it's great sprinkled on popcorn.

I wonder if he really whacked his LEFT hand with a table saw.
I'm a southpaw, and I've never seen right-handers or lefties feed stock with their left hand.

Yuck.
Thinking "radial arm saw incident"...

Haha, actually the glass of water is mine. I drink water or beer.

Holy shiat.

As one who has a wood shop full of power tools I find that t-shirt simultaneously funny and scary. And your missing digits--yikes, nothing funny there. I see the woman taking the pic seems to be having a good time. Probably saying, "Well, show 'em what's left of your hand. Show 'em what happens when you play with those toys!"

Glad you got the SawStop. I saw a demo of that at a WW show. The guy shoved a raw hot dog in the blade and it stopped after only nicking it.

I have a good dose of fear of all my power tools, even the docile-looking scroll saw. Any of those can remove a finger in no time. The table saw and sliding miter saw are tied for what I think are the scariest. For the table saw and router table I have a couple good feather boards to hold work pieces in place.

 

[balrog]

Router table much scarier to me than my table saw but everything deserves the most careful respect.

Thankfully that is not me in the pic. I did have a 4x4x1/2 piece of walnut kick back at me and leave a nasty bruise on my belly, thankfully years of home brewed beer save me

my uncle got a kick back that ruptured his spleen.

be careful out there folks

I always loved the Norm Abrams shows and marveled at their showing how quickly you could cut the parts without showing the agony of hours of setting and test cuts that led up to it.

There is a channel on the YouTube called Fisher's Shop and he shows is screw ups at the end of the videos. It is nice to see we all screw up on a project

I used to be active on a woodworking forum some years ago. They had a thread of injury posts that would rival our carboy mishaps thread. Scary shiat.

Never lost a digit, but had a chunk of wood kickback from a table saw once. Gave me a nice bruise on my hip. Any farther to the left and I'd be singing soprano. If anyone has a table saw or router table, there's a neat device called Board Buddies. I have them on my saw now.

The guy who invented those is probably a millionaire several times over by now.

I hope so. They deserve it. Had them on my saw for about 20 years, never a kickback since.

OK, time for a pic.
