  1. Good call on counter height. Gotta stay mostly sober so I don’t F this thing up. I will do my best to post pics of the process. And get the fuck out of here with that Terry county bullshit. I’m a Martin county transplant. Wellman was our whipping boy when I was in high school. And Brownfield, isn’t that the quilt making capital of the world? I do have to give props for it being the place where Skip Bo was invented, though.
  2. Has this been ongoing? Or within the last couple years? Had a coaching change a couple years ago. Former coach allegedly was a repeat offender of texting while driving golf team to tournaments in school vehicles. Administration disciplined him a time or two. Guess he thought he was a legend and untouchable so he kept doing it. He thought wrong... Wouldn’t surprise me if the etiquette shenanigans were his doing. He strikes me as a guy who would promote that sort of thing.

  4. Yes sir, Andrews. I forget how many state championships we’ve won in a row. 8 or 9 or some shit like that. I’m also not surprised if they showed poor etiquette. I blame it on the oil patch.
  5. The illustration is good but he completely fucked up the crust on that good looking brisket. WTF?!
  6. That was certainly my preference as well. But I didn’t get to buy the groceries so white meat it is... They were just going to do grilled chicken on an event grill. I nixed that and because we have white meat will be brining.
  7. Thank you Sam Lin and Anastasis. I will deploy your suggestion Sam—thats fucking brilliant. and will show the video to cutters prior to starting.
  8. The pit is a beast. It’s got a hydraulic lift because the doors are too damned heavy to lift by hand. I will try to get some pics of smoked and meat pron to share. Hopefully the meat pron will deliver.
  9. Solid advice. Thanks to both you and Luke. Wasn’t sure if it was best to cook all the way to 200 and pull it stop short and let it rise in the coolers. We will have plenty of servers and runners. It’s the slicing that I’m concerned about. and we are doing boneless chicken breasts. Brined the night before and smoked to try and keep it somewhat moist.
  10. Kick in the nuts for sure. I don’t have high expectations to knock it out of the park. But I’m relatively confident it won’t be shoe leather. Relatively confident...
  11. I’m already well on my way. Not because of this, though. It’s courtesy if Caremark, Express Scripts, and all the other PBM’s. Independent pharmacy isn’t long for this world. But that’s another thread for another time...
  12. Probably not too many Catholic pharmacy owners in Andrews so you probably have the right guy. Gotta be pharmacy school together, right? And beyond? If so, then what’s up man?! Would love to have your help, but the event is Saturday. Whiskey is on most certainly on me if you can make it.
  13. Usually have 4 lines. It’s not self serve. We will be putting the plates together as they go through the line.
  14. Yes we have a pit that will fit them all. It’s an offset trailer pit. We also have access to a commercial kitchen with lots of oven space. We will have plenty of cooler space as well. looks like we will need to have Brisket slicing 101 class tomorrow. The problem with this event is that they run everyone through the serving line in about 30 mins. Then they start the banquet portion followed by Wade Bowen concert. So it’s slam bam thank you ma’am serve 550 people in 30-45 mins.
  15. It’s not an option. Small town in west Texas. Plus it’s a fundraiser so that would nullify any “profit”. Event is Saturday
  16. So our local Knights of Columbus chapter always caters our towns Chamber of Commerce banquet. This year the powers that be decided to do brisket and yard bird for 550 people. Ordinarily not a problem, but the Knight who owns the BBQ catering business who spearheads this effort is not available this year. Found this out today, which is awesome. 🙄 So I win the pit master title by default. I know my way around my pit and put out good backyard brisket, but cooking and serving 25 briskets is a bit of a daunting task for me. I’ll have one other guy with me that knows what the hell he’s doing and that’s about it. Looking for advice on timing. Dinner serves at 6:00. Specifically at what temp do you pull them and rest, and when do you slice them? Slice too soon and it dries out. Too late and service is a cluster fuck. Me and my buddy are the only 2 guys who can properly slice a brisket. Any help would be greatly appreciated. it’s our biggest fundraiser of the year and if we F it up, it will go away.

    They’re mentioned several times in the thread, but I’ll say it again. The Paddle 9 tour that ends at playa Ventana was tits.

    Fantastic! Thanks for the recs. Will definitely hit all of those places. We will be in country for 10 days with 8 of them in Domi.

    That’s perfect. I don’t plan to do much other than relax on the beach, fuck my wife, drink beer, and fish. Maybe not in that particular order, but close enough.

    I just booked a house near the beach in Dominical. We usually stay at the Bali House in Manuel Antonio, but decided to branch out a little after our waterfall tour with Paddle 9 last time down there. They introduced us to playa Ventana—might be my most favorite place on the planet now. I figure that dominical is close enough to Quepos to do fishing, but also close to playa Ventana and Nauyaca waterfalls. Those that know the area, am I calculating that correctly?
  21. Understood and agree about the drinking. It’s currently confined to occasional Saturday nights when my “responsibilities” are done. But I’ll watch it. For some reason the good Lord blessed me with a great deal of patience for this kind of thing. She sees a psychologist weekly and a psychiatrist for med management monthly.
  22. Sometimes it’s your spouse that has the issues. She has severe OCD, depression, and anxiety. We have 4 kids. Youngest just turned 4. I’m basically a single Dad with 5 kids trying to keep my head above water. I do all the cooking, laundry, house cleaning, and everything with the kids. All while trying to run our successful small business. She won’t let me hire help to come into the house because she’s embarrassed about the need for help. And she’s a compulsive spender that constantly puts pressure on me to make more than she spends. She just spent a week inpatient because of suicidal ideation with a plan last month. if I knew the state wouldn’t leave my kids with her I might be gone. But I can’t risk losing my kids to her when she is like this. So I get drunk after everyone goes to bed to watch the late college football games and convince myself it’s got to get better.
