  1. Repeating myself from other threads, but I've had great experiences with the last 4 MB sedans that I've owned. Stay away from dealerships once you are out of warranty (in fact, some independent shops are qualified to do some warranty repairs), but having a solid independent MB repair shop is really important. My last oil change on my MB E350 was maybe $225 - 250?
  2. Split pea soup with ham-bone and ham leftovers.
  3. The less that you cross paths with doctors, the better, IMHO. I don't know anyone that has been in that Heart Hospital of Austin that didn't end up with some sort of surgical procedure. When your only tool is a hammer - errything starts looking like a nail. YMMV.
  4. I suppose that we are fortunate that big wild hogs don't generally climb trees! Hunter dies in freak accident after bear falls from tree in Virginia https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/12/17/hunter-lester-harvey-killed-bear-falls-tree-virginia/77042545007/
  5. We did the whole Christmas Day Peking Duck experience at First Chinese BBQ at the Asian shopping center on North Lamar for several years. As Gentiles and non-Asians, we were in the decided minority of the very busy and fun crowd. Good times!
  6. Buda really needs to get a Terry Black's into that old Valentina's location on Main Street. They would kill there.
  7. Or at least the right kind of fuel. Jet A in a non-turbo prop? Similar incident near Lufkin years ago.
  8. I've made tamales every holiday season for the last 25 years. Not this year. I think that the Spicy Pork Mi Tienda tamales are almost as good as what I can make, and I won't miss all of the prep time! YMMV.
  9. I shot one of those 30+ years ago when I was a newbie. Caught lots of well-deserved shit.
  10. There is a lot to unpack there.
  11. I always thought that only pro wrestling was rigged!
  12. 150 pull is the way. Those gubmint temperature guidelines ruin lots of meat. This article explains it. (TLDR - if the turkey is at 165 for 1 second it is unlikely to have any bad bugs in it. Alternatively, if it is at 150 for three minutes or so, it is equally unlikely to have any bad bugs in it.) https://www.seriouseats.com/how-to-take-the-temperature-of-your-turkey-video
  13. I have a boneless, skinless one that I smoked over oak today. It is resting and getting bathed in butter per the Aaron Franklin recipe in "Barbecue Manifesto" -- never many leftovers when that is on the Thanksgiving table.
