    I drove all the way up to Argyle last week to check out 407BBQ. Place is way overrated unless I went on an off day. The lean was dry as cardboard. The fatty was actually good. The ribs were overcooked as well. They do have a tasty rub, so it would have probably been above avg if it was cooked properly. Sausage is a fine grind, meh. Fried brussel sprouts and potato salad were winners. The next time I drive up to this area I'll check out Smiley's Craft BBQ once they get up and running.

    Agreed, 407 is not good. Tried twice and wasn’t impressed

    Had a 1991 YJ (square lights but last year with the slanted rollbar supports and lap belts for rear seats IIRC).  Bought it my junior year at Texas for $8k.  Drove it through my first job and law school.  Loved it.  Sold it when my first lawyer boss bitched that we couldn’t take clients around in it.  Asshole.  But that was a decade later and I sold it for $6k even though it had been rolled twice, was missing most of the top and none of the gauges other than the tach functioned   It also probably ran for 2-3 years with a mostly empty, badly cracked radiator too.  No issues.  
     

    Fuck I miss that thing.  Ask my wife how often I tell her I shouldn’t have sold it. 

    She did mention that last night matter of fact! J/k

    I had a 90yj that I loved but damn if you had a head wind or were going uphill those 112 horses were struggling 

  3. My grandpa used the term “post turtle”. I.e. that fella is in way over his head; he shouldn’t have gotten that job; he’s a post turtle. 10 yr Cknight asked what a post turtle was and it was explained this way: a post turtle is a turtle that is put on top of a fence post in the middle of the country. He doesn’t know how he got there, what he’s going to do and how he’s going to get off. That’s a post turtle

  4. It’s crazy how different parts of the country have different selections. I’m in Southern California for a wedding and the local liquor store has cases of buffalo trace and eagle rare as well as numerous EC12 ($74),  WLW ($799) and the most of the BTAC. 

    I haven’t seen mass quantities of ER10 in the metroplex in a long time

    As a kid I remember my aunt (who still raises quarter horses to this day) working a young mare.  Mare's a handful by herself, then a feral dog comes up, freaks this horse out, growls a little.  Aunt tells me to hold the lead-line (we were lunging this horse), goes to the truck.  Grabs a 22.  Walks up this dog, drills it between the eyes, goes back to working this horse.

    To Sacks point, ranchers and livestock people.  Do.  Not.  Play when it comes to their livelihood.  Ranching is hard enough as it is.  

    Grandpa always said that there are two kinds of animals: animals that make you money and animals that screw with the animals that make you money. 

    Sounds like our families would have got along!

  6. I got to shoot a older 8 point Saturday evening. He is not a high scoring deer but definitely mature 17 3/4” inside spread and weighed just under 170 lbs on the hoof. I’ll post pics if I can figure it out

    You mean Bottle Giant on Eastchase? I hope that little pirate that owns the place goes bankrupt, he's a shitstain and a half. I had quite the entertaining dustup with him a couple years ago over some ER10. I'm 100% certain he prices his products via the secondary FB pages.

    That's the one and that guy is a crook. I'm trying to remember some other prices: ER10: $39; RY10 $69 (had 5 bottles); McKenna10: $32. The Kentucky Owl at $100 over MSRP just pissed me off.

  8. Bottle King off of eastchase in east Fort Worth had bottles of Weller 12, Weller antique, Blantons, staff jr., Elijah Craig 12 year and some ER on the shelf. I just asked away with a 12 and antique but he marks them up($70 12 and $50 for antique)

    hey guys - looking for some recommendations for FW for a bachelor party at the end of july. my brother wants to head up there, arriving Thurs PM and leave Sunday PM. My brothers and I are flying but other guys are poor and want drive from Houston up there - not sure why.

    Anyway, looking for some recommendations on places to go on the west 7th area, downtown/sundance and any other places that would be good. We'll likely have about 16 guys total ranging from late 20s to late 30's. I know we'll spend saturday night getting hammered at the stockyards, starting at Joe Ts,  but looking for a "nice" restaurant for Friday night somewhere in the downtown-ish area. I don't think we want to do Bonnell's Lonsesome Dove, or   Cattlemen's unless you think we should? I saw Grace but not sure how it is.

    Some places we'll likely visit, in addition to strip clubs:

    Bird's Cafe, Twlight Lounge, Lola's, Magnolia Motor lounge, Mad Hatter. There's a cigar bar in the sundance square area that my brother wants to try, so will likely do that after dinner. I don't want to make too many plans - golf, paintball, etc - because it'll hot as fuck and we'll be hungover every morning. Any other suggestions?

     

    For cheap drinking and good scenery on 7th; I love Chimys off of Foch Street. Happy hour is 3-7 I think with $1.50 tacos; $2.50 drafts and $3 double wells

  10. We went to the arts festival Saturday and hit up Heim before. IMO it has fallen off significantly since the food truck at the old location by the Republic Bar. It wasn't bad by any means but about on the same par as Rudy's. Art Festival was great as usual; the rain drove a lot of people off so the crowds were light.

  11. I ran the KO2 on my truck and really liked them; they had a really tough sidewall which is handy filling up feeders and driving around in mesquite country. My previous set of tires were the Michelin AT 2's. They were great tires but definitely more of a highway tire than an all terrain. I ran Nitto's about 8 years ago and never liked them; they wore fast IMO.
