  1. What is the website plz? Interesting map/data
  2. Did your sister come home one hot July night with some extra fly Schottische dance moves? If so, we may. And I got bloodied up a few times in the dirt lot outside the fence. If that was you, I’ve still had enough.
  3. Grew up very near Hunt. My high school and even most college year summer Saturday nights, we would head over to Crider’s to dance on the slab after the rodeo. Camp counselor girls rotated shifts on getting Saturday nights off so there was a different crop of city girls that thought we were good summer fun local flings. Wore the soles off several pairs of boots teaching Dallas debutants how to 2-step. Some of my favorite moments in this life. Can’t imagine this all playing out down there. I’ll kick some Strait to my Bluetooth and send good wishes that way. Thinking about you all with kids down there. Hope good news is released soon.
  4. Just talked to my friend who is there to pick up his kids from camps. They were supposed to get done with this session on Monday.
  5. Box was delivered and I unpacked it. Saw Petey eyeing it. Wondered how long it would take him to occupy it after I threw it on the floor. 2.7 seconds.

    3-2-1 Ribs

    Slice of avocado, some sliced pickled jalepenos, potatoes (not pickles)cooked in butter in a foil pouch, not canned pinto beans with a dallop of La Costa Salsa Casera—but close enough I had planned to make potato salad but I got too drunk so i sliced the potatoes and scooped on some butter, ample salt and a lot of pepper and into a tinfoil pouch onto the smoker with the ribs for the last hour. Technique of some old piasanos from back home on the border. Easy and fantastic. Bad lighting made them look pickley
  7. This is the best I have ever used. And there is not even a close second. You can get it delivered through some Ace Tru-Value stores. It has full branches so big that you may have to bust out the hatchet. Great for the smoker and the grill. https://www.wickedgoodcharcoal.com/

    3-2-1 Ribs

    Yes, I actually do more 2: 1.5: 1 My spares were 2.5: 1.5 : 1 Thanks for the tips on the sauce. The the spares were packed in two slabs. So I still have a slab left. Might try the Goldee method this weekend while pool floating

    Ok. Intrigued by this Goldie’s method. Any recipes on the glaze/liquid for the rest? He said “lots of sugar.”
  10. Petey. Devon Rex with an odd story of how he came to live here. First cat I have ever really been around. He’s about 6 months old now and is more funny than not. He talks constantly, which was cute at first but wears thin at times. He’s cool by me.
  11. Been out of the country so had a ton of yard work today. Figured I could watch a smoker while I toiled away. I usually 321 baby backs but spares were on sale. First time I ever cooked spare ribs this way. Came out pretty good.
  12. Or float it in a pot of boiling water. Order this first...
  13. This has been my experience putting two through on a 529 and the third about to start. I am always looking for credit card points, but the universities charge CC transaction fees that undermine any reward. I just do a bank draft type of payment.
  14. My money is on the one with the best gams
  15. I don't know what he drives, but he built my hotrod.
  16. And is that some ripped up linoleum from some mom’s kitchen? I was raised country, but the movies seemed to suggest that breakdancers threw down cardboard not stylish discarded geometric plastic flooring.
  17. I was too. We were too busy jumping our bikes off this rad hill of dirt behind the Baptist church to do some dorky ass dancing crap.
  18. Yep. All over Europe now you can find small shops that carry only tinned seafood with about a thousand varieties of sardines. A bit of craze at the moment. And this reminded me that my daughter brought me a tin of sardines from Portugal a few months ago. Might be time to bust out the beer, crackers and Frank’s.
  19. I contend that no one has ever played the game Operation. We all had that loud-ass game, and we all developed our own unique technique to extract the bread baskets (whatever the F that was), but none of us have ever “played the game” by the rules. The only rule was to get them bones.
  20. How has no one thrown a coke on the dipshit beating on the trashcan or whatever? Damn near as bad as the Vandy whistler.
  21. We had a great trip. Flew into Salt Lake City, rented a car then went to Yellowstone, then to Grand Teton. Drove back down through Idaho and was blown away how pretty the area around Blackfoot Reservoir was. Unbelievable drive. Here are a few pics--none of them do the area justice. Very north end of Grand Teton when you leave YS from the south entrance String Lake. We actually swam here. It was freezing. Some guy from London saw us swimming and successfully convinced his wife to let him strip down to his undies and dive in. Oxbow Bend. We went here right at dusk to see if we could spot a moose. No luck, but it was beautiful. Hiked to top of Inspiration Point. It was much higher up than the pic seems to show. I dug around in my backpack and found a banana. Daughter pulled this bag of crack from her backpack. All the granola eaters were 'mirin'. On the way up on the hike, we came upon a black bear--about 30 feet away. We moved on pretty quickly. Speaking of bears, saw this one in Yellowstone. It was several hundred yards away. Still cool though. And about as close as I would want to get.
  22. Lots of people out here rave about it. I need to get up there. About 10 miles from the farm where my wife grew up (alas, sold it a few years ago). Not much up there and a fairly drab drive, but you will likely see a pheasant or two along the road if you are driving about dusk.
