  1. Important to communicate what exactly I want sometimes. Since some taquerias do the chopped up bacon in the eggs as their ‘bacon and egg’, and I like whole pieces of bacon on my tacos, if I want a bacon potato and eggs taco I will say, potato and egg with bacon. I usually will get what I want.
  2. Taco hot take: Torchy’s sucks. They don’t even bother to reheat their store bought tortillas before they serve them to you.
  3. A few years back my dad went elk hunting on the Forbes Trinchera Ranch. He said a bunch of guys from Miller’s BBQ (family I assumed) were up there at the same time and brought a bunch of coolers packed full of their BBQ product. That’s what they ate. Dad found that extra amusing.
  4. Went ahead a purchased one as a Christmas present to myself. Being a little suspicious of the whole system there was no way I was spending a thousand dollars on one. I spotted a good deal on the Pit Boss Austin XL for around $350. So far I really like it except for one huge caveat. I've had two flameouts, both on overnight brisket smokes. I check on it at 2am and everything is going fine, wake up and it's all ambient temperature. The first one I had a pile of pellets inside the smoker. Once the fire went out it just kept feeding. I guess it overwhelmed the firepot and could never light again. The second time I think there weren't enough pellets in the box to exceed a pellet piles angle of repose and it stopped burning. It set me back a little on finish time, but both turned out great. I'm still getting a little acquainted with it and hoping the flameouts are just operator error, but I like it so far.
  5. And by great I mean pretty good.
  6. back in my broke ass college days, we used to cook the shit out of the beef finger ribs. They're more bone than meat but usually they came out great.
  7. Did you put bark on them?
  8. The Jets plan is to tank the next two season for Trevor Lawrence
  9. wow. Strong feelings on spanish subject pronouns.
  10. Hot, fun, charismatic and funny. Was hoping to work on the rest.
  11. I made all sorts of exceptions when I married her.
  12. One of the constant battles in my house is my efforts to disabuse her of the notion that drywall anchors can hold up anything and everything... including things like, I don't know....50" tv's. Magic screws I guess.
  13. We understand Johnny. Your wife knows your handle and is reading this thread. Good move.
  14. I don't know...My wife has always been lame in the sack. Granted it's gotten even worse.
  15. Holy shit that is way funnier than my imagination gave credit for. Thanks for sharing.
  16. This is the first year that I can recall that I missed watching multiple games because I just forgot. I sort of already didn't care this year. I didn't get suckered in emotionally when they got into the playoffs and won their wildcard because I knew they sucked offensively and would eventually get outcoached in the playoffs.
  17. Yup, Jerry has taken the best franchise in the Super Bowl era and made it less than mediocre,
  18. I definitely will not care about Cowboy football next fall.
  19. When I was a kid my parents gave me a Celestron refracting scope since Halley's comet was on its way. I don't remember the aperture, but I bet it was 60 or 70 mm. I had a good time with it and actually managed to locate Halley's comet which wasn't more than a ghostly blob through the telescope. I loved astronomy, but it wasn't powerful enough to really keep me going. As an adult, I had convinced myself I wouldn't really care about using a telescope anymore. I thought a proper telescope would be too expensive, it's too bright in town to really see anything and, I mean, you can just pull up better pictures online, Right? My wife gave my youngest (and essentially me) a 90 mm Celestron refractor for Christmas. I've been using the shit out of it and I'm back to being obsessed with astronomy. I've been looking at the moon, found the orion nebulae and made three attempts at seeing Comet Wirtanen, but no luck. I wish I'd had it last summer for all the planets that were in the evening sky. Now I want a larger telescope again.
