  1. In theory that’s how it should work. I’m reality, sites don’t usually know until day before or day of what quantity they are getting in a particular shipment. In our county sometimes they have come all together, and sometimes broken into multiple shipments.
  2. The concept 2 is super easy to separate to store. Like 5 seconds and you’re done.
  3. One of my favorites. I remember being excited when The Pacific was first coming out after I had seen Band of Brothers. After watching, though, I remember it being almost depressing. That’s what made me dive deeper into studying the Pacific campaign. It amazes me how different the two theaters were.
  4. That’s my understanding as well. All doses sent to our county are in arms within 2-3 days after receipt. Small county and only getting 400-500 per week, but at this rate we will have the whole county vaccinated in 6 months. That’s if everyone would take it. We know that isn’t happening... So we may be done in 3-4
  5. Got my second dose yesterday. The nursing student was hot (no pics, sorry didn’t want to be that guy) but she gave the damned thing into my tricep. 😐 I was talking with the health department director while she was giving me the business. He said they are expecting to get 400 first doses every week going forward. On top of that he is requesting 400 additional first doses to transfer to the hospital and my Shop. Looks like that didn’t work this week, but hopefully next week I’ll be iff the sidelines and into the game.
  6. APH called to chew out a colleague that was referring patients to their online portal. Said they were overwhelmed and to quit sending people their way...
  7. Cliff notes from this weeks EVAP meeting. Texas is doubling down on the Hub model and expanding the number of hubs and funneling more doses through those sites. That model is expected to continue until J&J’s vaccine gets emergency approval. For week 7 they will prioritize hub sites, hospitals, local health departments, dialysis centers, and counties that haven’t received previous allocations. There was discussion but no decisions made regarding defining 1C and when 1C will be allowed to be vaccinated. Basically you’re best chance is going to be through hubs until J&J comes online.
  8. You must not be familiar with how contracts in pharmacy (independent pharmacy) work. It’s take it or leave it. No negotiation. You don’t like it? Fuck you. Here, sign this contract that’s says I can reimburse you whatever the fuck I want and you can’t fight it. I can throw you out of network for whatever the fuck I want. You have to fill every script that one of our members brings in no matter how much fucking money you’re going to lose. Without some meaningful reform you’re going to be left with Cvs and Walgreens as your options. The same companies who Texas is using for long term care Covid vaccination who have only given 25% of the doses allocated in 5 weeks. Giving that contract to companies whose business model it is to purposefully understaff their pharmacies was a death sentence for thousands in LTC.
  9. Hate to even ask, but we are about to begin the new construction process. Based on my preliminary reading it appears that the best route is to do the 1 closing process so we can lock the rate in earlier? surly humblebrag alert: it will be a jumbo loan. thoughts?
  10. I do believe it’s what inning is it Frank? the correct answer was always “bottom of the fifth...”
  11. I know for a fact the state numbers are wrong. And careful about bagging on rural areas, our county has received 500 vaccines and every single one of them is in a fucking arm (futureman pun intended). Because we are hiring Urban Meyer... And the state shows we have only given about 250 or so last I checked.
  12. Indeed. We are on the way to Big Bend...
  13. Something like 500+ pharmacy’s will be getting allocation next week. Don’t have details on which ones yet. Just total number. I have a conference call tomorrow and might know more then.
  14. This is me. How am I just learning of this voodoo?
  15. Thanks. Served close to 600 in 45 mins. Yard bird titties were moist as hell. Did not have a bad brisket in the bunch. Mostly cubed/sliced mixed with chopped. So they got some lean and moist. I’m proceeding to tie one on. Wade Bowen is singing west Texas rain in the background. Life is good.
  16. Close. Mixed it with some sliced sausage in a homemade tortilla. Topped it with Hatch Big Jim. And it slammed and went hard. Sorry no pics...
  17. last post for a while. Busier than a 1-legged man in an ass kicking contest. we might just pull this thing off... the second pic is the remnants of a carving station after we finished.
  18. Soon to be the breakfast of champions aka hangover killer.
  19. 29 Briskets are all buttoned up in 200 degree ovens. Most of them temp’d at around 130 degrees after just over 4 hours on the smoke. The ones in the big chamber farthest from the firebox were lower at about 110 degrees. I’ll check them at 8:00 or so in the morning to see where we are. There is discussion about “shredding” or chopping the brisket because the Chamber sold more tickets/plates than they ordered... 🙄 It goes against my grain to not slice those bad boys after all this work, but I guess it’s better than running out of food.
  20. Caterer Knight made it back into town today so he’s taking over. Briskets are trimmed, seasoned, and on the pit. Yard bird titties are brining.
  21. What is this brisket cube that you speak of?
