  1. Paging @Randolph Duke to decipher and debunk this ranking.
  2. A .223 rifle was the first center-fire gun I bought for and trained my son on at around age 10. That gun was just a low-recoil gun for him to learn proper gun handling and for target practice. We didn't use it for hunting as that is not an effective round for a single shot on a deer. Once he got good at handling and shooting, I got him a .243 for his first deer rifle. He and I have used it many times for that purpose over the years.
  3. Eagles. Life in the Fast Lane.
  4. Not drunk here, but having a couple of fingers of bourbon neat to get the holiday started. Cheers!
  5. We always buy fish and steaks at Costco in Hawaii once we arrive. Then we hit the farmers markets when the horn sounds each day. Good times.
  6. I do that kind of grid deep cut on most any big meats (phrasing!) that I cook. Leg of lamb, prime rib, cabrito, whole hams, pork shoulders and such. It gives some additional texture and flavor to the meat, I think.
  7. I do deep cuts on them, just like I do with a pork shoulder. My theory is that it gets more of the rub and smoke flavor into the meat. Who knows? But I damn sure don't want a bunch of meat falling through the grill!
  8. I cannot imagine buying street stuff these days with all of the fentanyl going on. Jake is a great example. It is easy to wake up dead with that stuff.
  9. Folks in pickup trucks pretty much always wave to other folks in pickup trucks once you get out of the Metro areas. I do, as well. Trying to model after my Granddad in East Texas.
  10. Unless you have done something to affirm an old debt, the "tell them to fuck right off" advice is correct. Any written communications about old, expired debt will have a disclaimer that says something to that effect. The scum/scam debt collectors buy that shit for pennies on the dollar and send out a wide net hoping that some sucker will pay them.
  11. I don't think anybody has mentioned R&K Cafe II in Hillsboro. Solid CFS in the old passenger rail terminal north of the courthouse square. Good food and interesting building.
  12. Mouton's in Cedar Park and Leander is credible. Still hard to beat whatever Jack Allen's Kitchen is throwing down on any given day.
  13. Funny! I actually think both of those chains are pretty good for what they are. It is a guilty pleasure, but I am a huge fan of Bill Miller's fried chicken.
  14. Kauai is as close to heaven as I'll ever get in this lifetime. Great pics!
  15. I can see it now. Which Bill Millers is best? What's your favorite breakfast at Jim's? Cant wait.
  16. My 15 and 12 year old managed to stay alive downtown Chicago. I get it, but the Miracle Mile and such has lost its luster with all of the armed guards and needing to ask permission to enter the stores. Just not the same.
  17. Montreal and Quebec City are both great, but I don't speak a lick of French. Folks in Montreal seem to be less accepting of Anglophones than those in Quebec City. Sometimes militantly so.
  18. If Canada is now open -- Quebec City is your answer.
  19. Anywhere other than Chicago. Ask @ChiTownDoc about downtown nightlife in Chicago lately.
  20. Because they already collected their money on the other side of the border. They delivered their cargo -- most likely they gave no reps or warranties about the survival of said cargo.
  21. Now at least 46 bodies, 16 not dead (yet) transported to hospitals. At least 46 bodies found in 18-wheeler in San Antonio https://www.texastribune.org/2022/06/27/bodies-18-wheeler-san-antonio-lackland/
  22. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_fire
  23. I wonder how much the Mexican Drug Lords collected from each of those human trafficking victims? $5,000 per?
