    Pomegranates are great, my neighbor’s produced well last year and mine grew three feet. They’re not always trying to die when it’s hot and I appreciate that. Most of my seeds have sprouted and I already had to move some beans to grow bags outside. Also, if you baby tomatoes in pots and bring them in during freezes you can pick them fresh in February. I planted these in late June and it’s been about 10x more work than I can recommend, but whatever.
  2. It’s been ten long years.

    I didn’t have mites last year, but I’m definitely going to mix marigolds and basil in this year to keep weeds suppressed and hopefully help with pollinator attraction. Both are in those trays above and grow extremely easily from seed.

    Not too early. I got more serious about staring transplants from seeds and picked up a few heat mats and LED grow lights from Amazon. So far I have tomatoes, peppers, watermelons, cantaloupes, cukes, zukes, basil, cilantro, kale, onions, shallots, beans and peas started. I also have some flowers, some decorative and some for tea and marigolds to accompany the tomatoes. New this year is tobacco, nightshade huckleberry and otricoli berry. I’m also pumped to have 4x the producing blackberry plants compared to last year as well as a decent shot at production from my three year old plum tree. My winter garden is still cranking out lettuce, carrots and more. The salads are amazing and I have no regerts on going year round.

    Highly allocated overripe 1792 Full Proof. Did that really go up from $99 to $149?

    OLC 25th Still Austin pick and Still Austin Tanager. I went on this pick at the distillery and it’s a pretty unique peppery note, but more of a poblano/green chili vibe than black pepper with lots of oak tannins. Dry, but interesting and I do appreciate what Still Austin is doing relative to most Texas distilleries. The Tanager has a better mouth feel and more caramel on the palate, but I’m not sure I love the finish.
  7. I might have to get one of my boys out there for a late youth season mercy killing.
  8. My bad. Congrats on that hog, my guy.
  9. This is a weird game cam photo glitch, right? I’m really hoping there isn’t a nice buck out there with a shot off stump of a back right leg.

    There were some brokered barrels floating around, it’s apparently Wild Turkey mashbill and yeast distilled by Buffalo Trace. I’m not sure if anybody knows where it was aged, but it definitely tastes more like Wild Turkey than any BT product. I haven’t had the Seelbach’s version, but had one from the Whiskey Blendery private labeled at barrel proof. It’s all good, but I’m a sucker for most things high aged.

    A little Buffalo Trace Wild Turkey for a cold, wet night. This plus a Notre Dame loss would be about perfect.
  12. I put the Rattler back on the AR-10 and got a dedicated IPad to use as a monitor. Looking for this giant hog that’s been showing up between 7:30 and 8:30 the last couple nights.

    I’d be willing to wait an hour for a GTS, maybe longer if there was a decent food truck, bathrooms and parking lot beers.
  14. I’m not sure if this was a hit or not, but I can’t fault the pig for showing up about 2 minutes after I got set up. I’m going to give it some time to see if anything else comes out before I go looking. V_20241228182559342.mov
  15. I’m not disagreeing, but I just don’t care.
  16. 17.5 lb boneless prime from Costco cooked on a spit over Eagle Rare barrel oak and finished with thyme and rosemary butter from the garden. Pulled at 114 and finished in the oven to 125-135 depending on thickness.
  17. Winter (or whatever we are having this year) gardening is great. Less bugs, weeds and watering and generally lower maintenance crops. I just made a ridiculously good salad with this morning’s harvest.

    GTFOOH with the $80 Eagle Rare. I’m planning on opening some real bangers this week with family in town. Kicked it off last night with a ‘21 Birthday Bourbon.
  19. I feel like it’s easier to look at rainbow for long periods, but black hot seems to look the best. That’s about 120 yards and as good as the focus gets. The bunnies were right at sunset and the image seems to be getting better as it cools down. A coyote came and I could see the tail and also horns on a buck, but it’s not exactly ideal.
  20. Deer look much better than bunnies. V_20241208184621182.mov
  21. I mounted the AGM and sighted it in on an AR10 and AR15 today and I’m currently sitting in the blind watching bunnies and waiting for a pig to show up. My first impression is I wish I’d gotten a 640 resolution, but we will see how a bigger animal looks. V_20241208180340491.mov
  22. I’m in Mexico and this guy is modeling at lunch time in front of my camera.
  23. I thought I missed this one from 110 yd, but he only ran about 20 yards on a neck shot and dropped. I love a good Travis County low fence 8 point.
  24. Walked around the neighborhood trails and found a doe and a fox to watch. The pics don’t look as good as I saw in person and you would definitely need to trigger with the app instead of the buttons for better clarity. But holy crap, I would have never seen either of these without the thermal even with the moon tonight. It’s incredible.
