    @justhookit lol holy crap I wouldn’t have even thought to have that many flags on the boat. Just wow. @bmbmd not sure the cutoff, but I don’t think that’s a keeper. Maybe for an ant? @atomheartbevo might be a long shot, but try the PCL’s online map depository here. They have all kinds of cool stuff for Texas, the US, and the world.

    OP, check out the Pushmataha Wildlife Management Area in southeastern OK. A bit more off (way off?) the beaten path, more of a Central Eastern US forest vibe. All kinds of things you can do in the area. Sardis Lake is nearby with hiking and fishing opportunities, too. Go camping or get a cabin through Airbnb. Gorgeous area.

    OP, I preach this wherever I can: Rack. Of. Pork. I find them at Costco around TG/Christmas and (this year) Easter. Think pig prime rib. If you have the means, season as you like and roast over hickory at 350* until internal of 140*, about 1.5 hours. Rest under foil tent for 20-25 minutes (internal rises to 145*), carve, serve. Here’s one I did in May: (Pictured above with creamy Hatch green chile scalloped potatoes and garlic Parmesan green beans and baby bellas) Pro tip: serve with smoked au ju. Fill a foil pan with 1 can chicken broth and equal part water. Place under the rack to collect drippings and smoke during the cook. Strain and reduce in sauce pan while the rack is resting. Serve in ramekins.

    Filet over mesquite, steak butter, tater with hickory-smoked bacon (nice contrast to the mesquite steak), home-grown chives.

    My oldest friend is in his 40s and was just diagnosed with cancer. Fuck cancer. He has a good chance at beating it. Fuck it, still. He’s a Texan who is huge fan of Texas BBQ, but he’s currently trapped in California. Chemo for 6 months. One of my missions in life now is to keep him and his family fed with Texas BBQ throughout his treatment*. This is at their request and part of a community meal train. I’ve sent Cooper’s before and it was well received. Internet tells me I can pre-order and the pick up a Franklin brisket, cryovac’d, that I can then pack and ship to him. Rudy’s ships, but.... So, any of y’all have any (good) experience(s) with ordering/shipping from good Texas BBQ places to help narrow down my search? Champ, you shipping yet as part of your plan to dominate the BBQ universe? TIA *I had always heard smoked meats are bad for cancer and cancer patients, but he tells me it’s OK.

    Speaking of fishing private land... I have a vendor who belongs to Private Water Fishing, and he swears by it. The concept interests me because you have access to places off the beaten path, and would make great weekend retreats for the family once the boys get old enough to get something out of it. Anyone a member, or know a member? Thoughts?

    Ok, which one of you was heading out for some kayak bassing this afternoon?

    It happens. Last weekend it was just me and the kids. I thought I’d treat myself to some lamb since I’m the only one around here who loves lamb. Check on the rack outside and internal temp was 111*. Go inside to work on the kids’ food, one kid hits the other, crying ensues.... and next thing you know you’re running back outside and seeing 149* on the meat thermo. Didn’t care. I ate that entire rack with extreme prejudice and loved every single bite.

    Earlier this year, I made the switch from monthlies to Acuvue Moist dailies because they worked better for reading and distant vision, plus comfort increase. Bought through my optometrist as a professional courtesy and because she worked with me to find the right combo of brand and prescription (tons of trial lenses, multiple visits). ~$700-$200 mail-in rebate for 1 yr supply = $500 out of pocket; no vision insurance. I won’t go back to monthlies and was surprised how liberating it was to not have to deal with storage cases and contact solution. It’s funny you ask this. With my monthlies, I’d almost always take them out early and then wear my glasses at home in the evening. The new dailies are so effective and comfortable, I sometimes just forget to take them out at night, sleep in them, and just wear them again the next day.

    If it can’t be bought at Academy, you don’t truly need it. But, yeah, can’t go wrong with Game Winner gear from Academy. More than the kid will need. $5 camo t-shirts are nice, too,

    Tried to edit a post in “Shit I’ve cooked lately” thread, was told that too much time had elapsed to edit - time was only 5 minutes. Also, I think it required a reason for editing to save the edit.

    They updated the site software? Shit is borked. Can’t edit above post because too much time elapsed (5min!). so my intended edit: ERhine, container says “stock” so if actual shrimp stock + BBQ sauce, what’s your method / recipe, please?
  20. solamente73
    Maybe I missed it, but what’s in the “BBQ Shrimp sauce?” Is it just a BBQ sauce you put on shrimp, or does it have shrimp stock (or whatever) in the BBQ sauce? Curious, but don’t ultimately care because I’d supersmash those wings on sight no matter what’s in the sauce.

    Well, the menu seems to work (iPad/Safari) but when I tried to subscribe, I entered all the payment info asked of me and when I went to pay, I was redirected to PayPal (which I don’t use). I went back to the Surly order page, tried again, and was redirected to PayPal which told me I had been inactive, I had been logged out, and to start over again on Surly. Again, weird because I don’t use PayPal, so how could I have even been logged in to get logged out?

    About tree-fiddy/month is the moral imperative. Pay monthly, it's $3.51. Pay annually up front, $3.49x12. Allow for additional donations, "reward" those however you feel like it (titles, VIP areas, whatever). Maybe for specific activities (e.g. banner at USC), have separate donation drives to supplement the general fund.

    Somehow, someway, my wife and I watched that performance live. We never, ever watch award shows, and against all odds, that was on our tv that night. We were both like, holy crap, that guy (Stapleton) is gonna be a superstar. And the rest, as they say, is history. We still talk about that performance, and Stapleton is a regular on our home stereo system. With regard to JT, I don’t know enough about him to begin to analyze his work as you have, but I respect the Hell out of the guy for his longevity in being relevant. And “Dick in a Box.”

    The show continues to impress with music - beginning of the episode, music playing was from Unforgiven. Definitely one of my favorite shows on TV but....

    Latest iteration of weeknight chicken cordon bleu. Grilled chicken sandwiched between slices of grilled honey baked ham and topped with aged Swiss cheese recommended by a friend. The strong nuttiness of the cheese went nicely with the sweet and salty of the honey baked ham. With grilled asparagus.
