  1. Money quote from article about the NTSB investigation of Kerrville Beech Baron crash:  

    "Though they did not mention why the plane might have gone down, the NTSB did say the plane had a high vertical speed and low forward speed, which is inconsistent with trying to land. NTSB officials said the plane was about 2,000 feet above ground level, which is "lower and slower than you would expect" from a plane that was 6 miles away from the destination." 

    That sounds like a bad combo.

    Ribeyes are overrated. I’d rather have a NY Strip or a filet.

    Agree and I'll double down on that.  Why the hell do people order steaks at restaurants when it most likely won't be cooked as perfectly as you can do at home?

    I would eat the thing either way, but I must be honest.  I prefer a prime rib cooked out of the oven for the "clean" meat flavor.  I don't think smoke is necessary or really adds to that particular cut.  

    That's where I'm coming from.  YMMV.

  4. Saw those in store today.  They looked great and that price is a steal.  Not sure I'd smoke one, though.  Such great flavor on its own.  Salt and pepper in an oven.  Serve with creamed horseradish.  Great stuff.

    I find it hard to criticize Beto for his monetary charitable donations when he's worked his ass off the last two years engaging voters all over the state and now across the country.  He has his flaws, but his heart is in the right place.   

    Not speaking to anyone specifically on here, but Ds need to lighten the fuck up. 

     

     

     

    To be fair, Beto was earning a decent salary from a "no show" job in DC during that same two-year time period.  His living/travel expenses were being financed by his generous campaign donors.  Further, his entire 10 year history of charitable donations is weak and not very defensible.  Not a good look for a multi-millionaire.  Not ready for prime-time.

  6. SW has direct flights from AUS to FLL.  Easy and fast drive down south from the airport to Homestead on the tollways west of Miami (I don't like Miami much).  There is a great Hard Rock casino on that route if you wanted to do a night on the mainland before hitting the Overseas Highway.  That can be a really cool drive over the bridges from island to island if traffic isn't screwed up.  With only two lanes most of the way down, it doesn't take much for traffic to get screwed up. 

    Eat some conch in Key Largo on the way down.  The Garden of Eden nightclub would be a must for your crew!  https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g34345-d575431-Reviews-Garden_of_Eden-Key_West_Florida_Keys_Florida.html
