Mesquite should only be used to grill, not smoke. It burns hot and fast, you can sear off some great steaks in a hot arse mesquite filled pit.

Burnt Bean is legit, I know of what you speak when you talk about some of the hipster joints TM has forced into the lineup. They aren't far from the house so we go maybe once a month or so. Here is a cool video of their story.

If your ever on the SE side of SA be sure to try 2M Smokehouse, they are near my office and I'm there regularly. They have made the top 50 the last couple of times, imo their brisket is better than BB but can't go wrong with either.

They call them Awning Sash Windows, they have 3 sizes. They come with all the hardware to install them against a flat surface. They aren't quite as heavy duty as the ones Academy sells but they are less than half the cost of those as well.

This started out as a $200 6' x 6' metal building from Amazon. Flip up framed glass windows from Academy, I've since found a less expensive source online. The inside is framed out with 2 x 4s and is fully insulated. Did all the work ourselves over a day and half. All the lumber and insulation is left overs from jobs so no cost in that, so there is less than $700 in it. With the framing on the inside it is as stiff as can be, no flexing. We sat it on a flatbed, put two straps over the top and pulled 2+ hours down the interstate without any issues. Windows were the biggest expense by far. I have a couple others in the shop to put together in my spare time this summer for next season. There is a FB group for cheap deer blinds that show a bunch of builds using cheap mail order buildings.

That may save his arse from going to jail this time, if it happens again, he is screwed.
Making good use of those union dues folks are paying weekly.
Had to go back and look it up, Periscope was the app. They closed up shop back in 2021.


Right on the ol cockel, bet that's going to leave a mark.
What was the site we all streamed during the summer of unrest? There were some awesome tigers dropping name drops in some of those feeds.
Elon found and pointed all this shite out, Republicans have done nothing to stop it. That is enough to piss someone off I'm sure.
Anything Power Pole makes, best customer service I've dealt with. Simms is also right up there. Local Texas built custom rods, Sarge and the folks over at Waterloo take care of their clientele. Lastly, Yeti, they have handled a couple issues with no questions asked.

How about a couple not so good ones, Costa Del Mar has gone in the crapper since being bought out. Mercury Marine has also gotten ridiculous with their warranty decisions.

Without Elon buying twitter, the steal would have been in full effect. Him spending 44 billion dollars to ensure there would an outlet for free speech is what allowed Trump to win.
quote:

16.Buy American, build American — required on all infrastructure projects.


This has been required on federally funded project for years. In our line of work it pretty much doubles the cost of the job.
Now do when Trumps second term started and Elon started uncovering fraud with DOGE. It's down about $60 per share, that is after a gain of $85 per share over the last two months. The $60 loss as of today equals a 24.6 billion dollar loss for Elon. That is what it cost him personally to uncover billions in government fraud, all for nothing apparently.
They are out there politically but some nice weather up there April through September. Last time we went about 5 years ago we saw more BLM signs than we did Bs.
Paxton is going to take care of one of them without his help.

Hope we are keeping in touch with this dude, an absolute giant at 14 years old.
