Thanks Doc, all information is "Ace".....47 old drugs to treat COVID-19:

Confirmed cases in Brazil now 91,589 with 6,329 deaths.

It is just beginning. ...Long Haul....Long Haul.....

Other than slow cooking and tenderizing by beating the heck out of the meat, I realty have not found such.
I have bone in sirloin to cook today.
Here some ideas. Watch many.

BBQ pit boys cook all kinds of meats and veggies on a BBQ.

Slow and low. I feel ya on beating it , its already dead...lol, its a Brisket Tip and its Slow and  Low, maybe 5 hours, 1 to Burn it,4 to let go in foil, maybe pull it and make a sauce and call it a Sammich(kkk=lol)...How y'all fairing down there. Juazerio is Fine as Frogs Hair. Nothing to Report.. Just the Stores Crowded from the Holiday and much Brasil Stimulus money.. Strange on the money, no retirees and no for Pensioners, the ones who need it the most...Stay Safe and When we Open, I ain't going nowhere..just gonna enjoy the house..for the worse is yet to come . I think We May have a good Christmas...

Need to hit Cancun or Cuba when the Planes are Clean...I need a Vacation from My Vacation...

Cuba, now how is that going to work/
Just finished to bife. Beat the crap out of it and then hot for a couple minutes, then over to the cooler side.
Hard to cook for more than me. Every time they see pink and juice they think it is raw.
This time she got   what she wanted Mine was put much later. As we say _wipe it and run it by the fire!"

Cuba, now how is that going to work/
Just buy a ticket, I am a resident of Brasil and they don't stamp the USA  Passport and they have some good doctors there and cigars...lol....

No Reports of the Virus.....

They fly out of Cancun also.....one just has to buy a ticket, did you know before the embargo Kennedy laid in a order for cigars...lol.....I think the ammonia will kill the virus .....

The "Brisket" is marinating on the grill can you say "Tinder"/"Tender"...lol...shopped, Whiskey , Beer, onions, tomatoes ,cilantro.......the hardest part was waiting to enter the store

Good Luck....Demonrats....nothing new here in the Jua. ....SSDD.

I apologize to the Rarities Ab3 and Big Tex, just some time it gets boring on the "Range" so Slow and Low I go........Hope  all is Well...

I must say, that never crossed my mind.

Looks Like West Coast Time to me , I do math  9 AM + 4= 1PM in the Jua...lol


They monitor this thing out of  a differant Country, I think where ever "Main Site 8s " maybe it's on that time, where ever "Julian " is located .....

Ok, how about a "settings" on this site? That would be nice unless you all are on this site a 4 am or as now you are on the site at 6 PM.

"I apologize to the Rarities Ab3 and Big Tex, just some time it gets boring on the "Range" so Slow and Low I go........Hope  all is Well..."

All is well here, Griz.   Well, not so much in the city as a whole, but with us.

Hang in there buddy:  the virus can't go on forever.  (And neither can that GOAT-boy you've fallen for, and that will be another happy ending. 😈)

Looks like Brasília Summer Time (BRST) to me -- it's two hours later than Amazon Standard Time (UTC - 4 hours).  "Oscar Time Zone", UTC - 2 hours, for you ex-military.

Bidens gonna catch the virus in late September ....

Ab3, grilled Bode is good ...lol...Biden is overdone....just a observation..as far as time goes, as the group "Chicago" would say "Does Anybody Care"... Doc knows the correct time....kkk. 10:06 pm as I pin this...Nothing New in the Juazerio..... The Brisket cooked up well, shredded beef..

Quick update on COVID-19:

!. Deaths increased to 7,025; a 10.99% increase in 24hours.
2. Confirmed cases to 101,147; a 10.43% increase.

It can be however inaccurate due to less testing compared to other countries. It could be
12 times more as a British org has been estimating...

Grizz,

Are you using a smoker for your brisket or just a regular grill. I use a smoker to have that nice "smoke ring" and I use "papel de manteiga" to wrap it up for the final stage of tenderizing it.

"Ab3, grilled Bode is good."

Can´t wait till my favorite restaurant opens up to have the charcoal roasted one. Really good, less fat.

9:06 here, 23:06 per the timestamp.

The 9:06 makes sense:  we're in the next time zone over from you.  The 23:06 is UTC -2:  the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Standard Time, or Daylight Savings Time, in those states that observe DST (which Bahia and Amazonas don't), AND are on Brasília Time.
For what it's worth.

Mauritius time...

Mauritius would be logical to use, but they're not:  it's 5:50 Monday morning in Mauritius, while the timestamp here is 11:50 PM Sunday.

Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA) - equivalent to the US FDA will be meeting within the next few days with Gilead Sciences to evaluate Brazil´s interest and the possibility of using and establishing regular supply of Remdesivir to treat COVID-19 patients in Brazil.

Regular Grill with a  Lid and Smoker Pipe...a little guy over in Petrolina I had modify the grill...so I can control the heat...

I will switch to the paper to see the differance ,foil has its hazards, shredded the leftover and dumped into BBQ Sauce...I cook the Bode on the grill over Charcoal , going to go with a gas grill at the house and I like 2-3 grills for life is Choice Driven...lol...

I can see them bringing in the 'Vaccine"  Brasil is a "Testing Ground" remember Zika and the "Mutant Mosquito/ Pesticide in the Water.....Processed foods,GMO.....

I wish them luck with the Vaccine...I ain't in on it...yet as Dr. Alan Watts wrote"God in a White Coat" and the people here think "God Wears a White Coat and has a Assistant that Thinks the Doctor is God"....lol......

Jaded yes my Doctor wanted me dead....lol....True Story.....

Who is eligible for the economic impact payment? 

Eligible taxpayers will receive an economic impact payment of up to $1,200 for individuals or $2,400 for married couples.  Eligible parents also receive $500 for each qualifying child.

Tax filers with adjusted gross income up to $75,000 for individuals and up to $150,000 for married couples filing joint returns will receive the full payment.  For filers with income above those amounts, the payment amount is reduced by $5 for each $100 above the $75,000/$150,000 thresholds.  Single filers with income exceeding $99,000 and $198,000 for joint filers with no children are not eligible.

Hello y' all,
Los Angeles has started a slow reopening today.  Beaches, car dealerships, some stores, and whatever else.
As for stimulus money, so far no one has stimulated me.  I would love some motivation.
I am not sure how much more of this we will take.  I suppose it beats death, but...
Hope you all are doing OK.

Ola Ron,
We'n doing ok. Feel the pain as to stimulus. Probably throwing of IRS with spouse have ITIN and no SS#
Stay well and keep us informed on thee US.

Same here.  I finally went onto the IRS site the day before yesterday,  and they said they needed my bank info, even though it's supposed to be automatic for SS recipients, so I put it in.  Now with my luck, they'll probably pay me twice, and then chase me for the overpayment over the next ten years, even if I  return it.

So far Mnuchin has not yet stimulated me, so don´t worry. He´ll come later with a bonus with more
stimulations. I hope. Be well and hang in there.

There´s a petition going on with IRS that spouses of US citizens with ITIN should also be entitled for
stimulation!

Of course with interest!

And make it impossible to pay from here.

Yeah, but that is not my case.  Wife is a naturalized US citizen and I have had a SS card, paid taxes forever and now I am receiving my pension with automatic deposit.  What else do they expect?

Nothing more to do. Just hang on like me. I haven´t done anything, so as not to complicate matters.
I receive 2 govt pension, all on direct deposit so I should be very visible. I can´t understand the delay...
