The best was when we found the unexploded package of plastic explosives the workmen left around. Our house was one of the first on the block, and they construction guys would use it to loosen the bedrock to build basements/foundations. It looked like a tube of cookie dough. We tried everything from bashing it with a hammer, to putting fire-crackers in it, to cutting the cord off my mom's hair dryer, attaching it to an extension cord and sticking it into the blob. We were fortunate to never solve how to set it off.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...Comment

Back in my archaeology days, I worked for several months on an enormous missile range. We had to do a training about unexploded ordinance and were instructed essentially to never touch anything plastic or metal out there in the dunes. Of course, my crew being the geniuses they were, we ended up spending a decent amount of time lighting spent rocket fuel on fire. Smart, as in not so smart from smart enough people.

My dad did a tour of some petroglyphs on a military base down there. He said they got on a tour bus that was completely blacked out and drove down to the site. Same place?I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...Comment

Probably, yeah. I'm talking about the White Sands Missile Range. There are a couple other military bases, though, and petroglyphs are all over the place, including right in my town.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.Comment

12 hours at 132 degrees is too long for Tri-tip. it starts to get a bit mushy. Still good, but the texture is a bit off. Next time I'll stick to 6 hours.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...Comment
