  1. It was 14.5 lbs untrimmed. So I’m guessing about 12.5 lbs trimmed. I slept a bit longer than i planned this morning so I started the cook at 9:15 and I wrapped it at 3:00 at 170 degrees about half way through the stall and took it out of the BGE and finished it in the oven inside at 290 degrees. At 5:30 the brisket read 203 degrees and the probe went in like butter. I took it out and it rested for about an hour when it was served.
  2. My contribution to the quarantine cook. One of my best efforts. The pics always look dry but it was damn near perfect. I did a hot cook-290, and it turned out great.
  3. Cisco’s has/had (is it closed yet?) great migas. If anyone over 35 with a UT connection doesn’t know about Cisco’s migas they should be shamed to oblivion.
  4. I haven’t touched a flagstick in about two years anyway—except for tournaments. The groups I typically play with started leaving the stick in when the rule change was announced.
  5. Great to hear. I hope we open next week. It’s hard for a club in Houston proper (or any major city) to go against an edict from the local government. The directors just don’t want the controversy for the club. And it just might be illegal.
  6. In country maybe. Beyoncé says hi.
  7. So if I’m Peter’s boss there’s no way I let him fly paying passengers around the country. Not that there’s much flying going on now.
  8. My club is closed. I played Wildcat last Sunday but everything in Houston is shut down now. Memorial Park Golf Course was open until yesterday. I got an email this morning that Teravista in Round Rock will remain open. One person per cart, but you are encouraged to walk. I walk and carry my bag about 80% of the time so I would have no problem with that. They also have other reasonable restrictions in place. Good for them for remaining open. If I lived nearby I’d look into it.
  9. PSA. Kroger has packer choice briskets for 1.99 per pound.
  10. Kroger has packer choice briskets for $1.99 on sale. One will be smoked this weekend. Edit: wrong thread. And no bourbon yet!
  11. It was disclosed and I’m pretty sure it can be waived if it is an actual conflict. Practically, I can’t see a client continuing to use Kim no matter how good they think she is. Kevin is sort of an idiot so I suppose it makes sense. My clients would switch counsel immediately and probably smell a rat. Keep in mind that the old fart had been in litigation and lost. So he must have had counsel and Jimmy’s late entry to the party would look very suspicious.
  12. The tragedy for Kim is that she’s a pretty good lawyer. She’s throwing it all away or so it seems. And for Jimmy?
  13. 1775 Patrick Henry proclaims "Give me liberty or give me death" in speech in favour of Virginian troops joining US Revolutionary war 1839 1st recorded use of "OK" [oll korrect] (Boston's Morning Post) 1917 Tornadoes kills 211 over 4 days in Midwest US 1933 Enabling Act: German Reichstag grants Adolf Hitler dictatorial powers 1966 1st official meeting after 400 years of Catholic & Anglican Church
  14. 1622 First American Indian (Powhatan) massacre of Europeans in Jamestown Virginia, 347 killed 1903 Niagera Falls runs out of water because of a drought 1933 FDR makes wine & beer with up to 3.2% alcohol legal 2011 Lawrence Taylor pleads guilty for misdemeanors of sexual misconduct and is sentenced to six years probation
  15. My wife will take her chances on that one.
  16. Well, my game has been questionable. I’m more of a golfer these days. If you are thinking about the virus concern, unless you are doing those childish Bryan Bros. chest pumps, you can easily stay very far away from your opponent or doubles partner.
  17. Hopefully it’s a steer, not a cow. I wouldn’t get a brisket cut unless you really love roast beef.
  18. Same rules here. Tennis is open as well.
  19. My club is opening the course tomorrow but no food and beverage service and the bar is closed. We can keep a safe distance from each other while carrying our bags. Memorial Park GC and the tennis center has been open all week. My wife played there earlier in the week.
  20. Kim is an idiot. I know her role is to show how Jimmy/Saul corrupted her, but siding with an old ornery asshole legally in the wrong and violating several ethical codes in the process just makes her look like a fool.
  21. I'm just glad I get to fund my 401k/Keogh plan in the next 30 days--that's when our firm does it. It will be invested in several different TR Price funds.
  22. The problem is that my crystal ball is broken. You can never know when the bottom or the top is. When it rebounds when do you get back in? Last year I was up 30%. Many people I know were saying 2019 would be a down year with some predictions of recession. Indeed, the last economic news of a couple of weeks ago was fabulous before the virus panic. So if i had been out of the market last year i would not have had that gain. There’s a huge risk for being out of the market. You miss a couple of huge 5-8% up days and you’ve lost a great opportunity. So I just let it ride and it’s worked out very well. One can say this time is different. They say that every time. This too shall pass.
  23. Not sure how many bear markets and crashes I’ve been through in my professional career that started in 1984, but it’s been several. I’ve yet to sell any stock or mutual fund during a downturn or near a high. I don’t see any reason to change my strategy now. I’m around 10 years away from retirement age.
