Someone had to do it.

Happy Saturday fellas

Is this the new 500..??

Jake, finally hit puberty and dropped dem ballz. 😂 Good Morning Jake, Dan, 8track, Drafter, Robert, and…RAM!

Good Saturday Morning to All! It's a dark and rainy 70° on the way to 76° today.

Congratulations to Jake on the new 500!

Well, technically it's Jake's 500, 8Track fixed it for Jake.

Robert, smoke something expensive and rare just for the heck of it 😎

Got an early start today. Up and out to Menards at 0600. Bought wife more mothers day stuff and got other things.

Put up sheeting in the wood shed. Washed the truck. Dropped off mothers day gift at my parents place. Put the brisket on the smoker. Mowed the lawn. Mowed the ditch with the string trimmer. Walked around with the blower for a bit. Lit the burn pile on fire.

Wanted to do other things today but weed whacking the ditch always does me in.

Afternoon folks... Star Wars marathon on the TV... it's a trap!

Had me trapped in the recliner all day long.

ONE NEIN

^lol
Mexican word of the day: ESPN

That gringo must be drunk cause ESPN his pants.

Left the door open while going in and out of the house and the garage. A small moth somehow got inside. I didn't even see it until the cat was staring at something and jumping at something in the air. Poor moth. If it lands, on a horizontal surface it will likely be eaten.

I hope it's not the reincarnation of CROS. Poor CROS.

Either that or me and the cat are both on acid.

Watching Star Wars on the patio tonight.

Boy went inside to make popcorn. Came back out sat down with his bowl and a bird flew over and shat in the bowl and on his chest.

Accidentally inhaled my cigar when that happened was laughing and coughing boy crying wife peed a little laughing so hard.

Good times.

Shirt change, shorts change, new popcorn, back to movie.

I heard Cinco deMayo was on May 5th this year...

^

Also I read your response to me on the Federal Reserve thread.


Thanks for letting me know something about what you think.

Man, those drugs from the '70s and '80s musta been STRONG!

The cat? Hmm, mebbe sumting in the cat food?

Saturday (day seven?) Sabbath?
Kinda Old Testamenty, ya know?

How's my suite coming along? You get the stains outta the mattress or do we need a new one?

got a buddy who went to UKentucky after high school, worked in the horse game for a few years, told me he liked Sierra Leone in the Derby.

Another friend and I bet $150 across the board just for a kibbitz, I think we won something like $130...fanduel or whatever, he has an account.
We'll toss in a couple more bucks and go for a nice dinner with the wives.

Woulda won more if the horse had a nose like Jimmy Durante...

Brisket is in the cooler resting.

Around 730 a storm came through really quickly. Fire dept siren was screaming. Mega downpour, 50mph winds, hail. I dragged the smoker into the garage to get it out of the rain but the rain was coming sideways into the open garage. Can't exactly close the garage door so I moved the trash cans in front of it to block the rain/wind but the humidity and rain had already dropped my temps to 190. Brisket was sitting at 190 as well. Aimed a small desk fan at one of the open baffles and she came back up to temp after an hour.

Probed the meat around 200, still a bit firm. 203 and it was hot knife in butter. Wrapped it in a towel, tossed it in a cooler. No experiment with the cooking process this time. Instead the experiment is post cook. Gonna rest 2 hours in the cooler as usual, but instead of slicing/vac sealing portions while still hot, I'm going to refrigerate the whole thing and do my slicing and packing cold.

this is done!

Sunday Sunday Sunday

Yay... Bruins didn't get bounced in the first round.

Mornin' dudes... app says it's 66 degrees out there. Prolly feels like 86 with the humidity.

Morning folks

Casualist of hockey fans.

Forty NEIN ..............
