Cantoni.com-The Wing Bar Stool. We looked all over DFW for months. Found this chair and bought 4 of them. We sit in them every day. Outstanding comfort and durability.
Years ago, when my wife asked to share locations I said hell no. As time has passed I have warmed up to it. I travel by driving alone back and forth from TX to CO and am alone on our property in CO doing all kinds of work. I am 57. Now I want my wife and kids to know where I am. We all use the Find My Phone app for iPhone to share our locations.
New Weber Kamado. First cook today, simple apple smoked chicken. Tomorrow, shredded chuck roast bbq sandwiches, 4th-wife wants pork ribs, Sat-homemade pork italian sausage links on homemade brioche buns.
My favorite from them is the deep space layer stuff. I use the base layer top and bottoms, the gaiter, and the underwear briefs. All great imo. I also have the allclima hunting jacket and pants that I purchased during their annual spring sale a year ago. Overall, I am satisfied with it. Only complaint are the knee pads in the pants. Elk hunting for miles at crazy elevation changes, they began to feel heavy or just bothersome.
Must have been the variant I had back in Feb. I tested positive for the first time and had one of the worst sore throats I can remember having in my 56 years. Freakin miserable for two weeks.
I also use 30% vinegar. I have found that diluting it at 3 parts vinegar to 1 part water is very effective. My primary use is spraying thistle on some acreage we have in CO. There is so much of it, diluting is saving me some money while still being lethal to the weeds.

Technivorm Moccamaster. I am on #3. Demoted #2 to our camper. Also, recently purchased the Moccamaster grinder. Great product imo.

I still like HEB but it’s not what it used to be imo. I go for specific things and shop Central Market the same. CM is their upscale store that is present in metro areas of TX.
Lived there for five years. ‘18-‘’23. Did not love it or hate it. Don’t regret it but I don’t miss it. Life is a journey. I don’t think I would be as happy had I not moved around. Monroe, Shreveport, Austin, Covington, Driftwood, Leander, El Paso, Keller.
There are so many good ones. My son recently asked me what my fav was. Without much thought I said Hitch A Ride by Boston.
I just bought one. This happened to me the first time I used it. The self propel stopped working. I inspected the belt and it would not move. It’s in the shop now. Sucks
We completed a large backyard project that includes a "cocktail pool" and spa. The pool is 24x12. The spa is 5x8. The cost is insanely high here in the DFW market. However, it is what we wanted and it along with the rest of the project really makes a statement. The kids are gone, and we enjoy cooking at home and spending time in our new outdoor space. If you can afford it and see yourself using the space do it. Also, a smaller pool/spa is much easier to maintain than the family size pools. However, maintenance is maintenance and it never goes away. I am away alot so must use a pool cleaning service that services the pool weekly at $200/mth.

I have had the fortunate experience to hunt these birds a few times in New Mexico. Like any game, it matters what their diet has been. If they have been eating good they really are delicious. My go to is to cut the breast into steaks as they can be quite large. I use a marinade of olive oil, a quality balsamic vinegar, some worstershire sauce, oregano, s&p. Cook it like a steak. High heat, in cast iron, in butter.

My GSP is 13 1/2. Every morning since time change she fires up her yelping about 5:15-5:30. I get up about them but damn I’m a slow mover in the am and like get some coffee down before I start taking care of stuff. I know her time will be up soon so I’m rolling with it.
I don’t dislike it. It is “hot sauce” that does the trick in soups, gumbo’s, fried fish, pizza.
I like it enough after one listen to give it another go. Sister Sweetly was just a great album. Brings back so many memories.
