    IMO, not bad for a Covid recovery smoke.

    The flat always looks DAF but it wasn’t. Turned out very good. The point was amazing. I separate the point and flat after the smoke. I placed the point over the flat for the picture.

    Been battling Covid (a lite case) the last 5 days and I had to smoke a brisket and ribs today. I started to lose my taste and smell this morning. I could barely taste a pale ale this afternoon so I poured it out. I just pulled the brisket after probing like butter and I’m letting it rest. I tried a piece and even with reduced senses it was amazing. I’ll try to post pics later.

    Not even close to that number by most experts. They really can’t agree on any number more than the less than 100 that died from the explosion and immediate aftermath. From the wiki: Fewer than 100 deaths directly attributed to the accident. Varying estimates of increased mortality over subsequent decades (see Deaths due to the disaster)

    That, or the French/English would have easily defeated him.

    I like cream and brown gravy so I get CFS half covered with cream gravy and the other half covered with brown gravy. I also give each bite a light dip in ketchup. The acidity brings everything together.

    Maybe poor in spirit at times. But that’s a blessing—mine is the kingdom of heaven.

    Yep. Which contains turmeric and other things for color.
  9. HouTex
    It’s either food coloring or a bit of turmeric. Saffron would do it but it would be too expensive.

    I forgot about that yellow gravy at the Stallion. Did they just add some yellow food coloring? I often cook the roux a bit longer to get a darker color to my cream gravy but there’s never a yellow tint.

    Pickle ball is awesome. It brings in many players that aren’t the greatest athletes that have superior hand eye coordination. Very social.

    WT 101 is getting it done right now. Still widely available and always solid.

    I don’t have a recipe but back in the 70’s my mother made some great grape jelly with ripe wild Texas grapes. I’m guessing any grape jelly recipe from the internet would work.

    Colonoscopy

    HouTex replied to Sbbruin's topic in Lulz

    Yes on the Propofol. I’m actually looking forward to my next one in two years.

    Well done. I'm at 33 years with the same woman and my parents would have celebrated their 66th yesterday, but my father passed last summer. Yesterday was a tough day for my mother.

    Not sure, but I don’t see why not. There is a putting course near the club house/restaurant for the New Course that might be fun. And the 1/2 mile or so walk from town to the New Course clubhouse/restaurant is cool. You walk across holes 1 and 18 on a paved path to get there. Of course, if you know someone, or get lucky and meet them, that belongs to the R&A or the New Golf Club (over 120 years old) see if they’ll treat you to a cocktail in the clubhouse.

    Does not sound like you play, but golf is a must-do in St. Andrews. It’s where the game started. There are 5 or 6 courses in or around town. Check out the University of St. Andrews. There are a couple of good restaurants in town. I forget the name, but the one that basically sits on the beach is very good.

    I've advised clients that they can start collection efforts, but don't spend whatever money/property they obtain just in case they lose the appeal.
  19. HouTex
    Is that unique to Virginia? In Texas you can still appeal without a bond, it’s just that enforcement of the judgment is not stayed.

    My favorites are already listed, but this one deserves a mention. Near the 2:00 mark. The sax solo in the album version is better.

    This. As a kid I didn’t trust carnies. If they had teeth, they were green. Don’t trust the bungee guys either. Hugh downside for a few moments of excitement.

    This, sort of. It was late in his career, but we loved Arnold Palmer and couldn’t stand that Nicklaus took his place. In the last 20 years or so I’ve grown to like Nicklaus a little more. He’s still too cocky and arrogant at times.

    Getting old sucks

    HouTex replied to Hate's topic in Lulz

    How long ago was that? The new double-dose shingles vaccine (Shingrix, I think) is for people over 50. The old one was for people over 60, IIRC, and it wasn’t very effective anyway. For people scared of a little fever for a day or two after a shot, that’s way better than some of the possible complications you can get from shingles. And you can get shingles over and over again (usually in the same area of your body) unless you get the shots. After getting shingles before the new vaccine was approved, I got the new vaccines as soon as they were available.

    Getting old sucks

    HouTex replied to Hate's topic in Lulz

    + 4 on the shingles shots. Both laid me out. I got shingles about a year before the new vaccine was approved for people over 50. I was too young for the old, less effective vaccine. It wasn’t fun but I had a fairly mild cast—but in an unfortunate place—where the Sun doesn’t shine. I know a guy who may have permanent vision loss in one eye because of shingles. Get the shots when you are eligible.
