    Aren't baby backs 2-2-1 rather than 3-2-1?

    Yes, I actually do more 2: 1.5: 1

    My spares were  2.5:  1.5  : 1

    Thanks for the tips on the sauce. 

    The the spares were packed in two slabs. So I still have a slab left. Might try the Goldee method this weekend while pool floating

  2. Petey. Devon Rex with an odd story of how he came to live here. First cat I have ever really been around. He’s about 6 months old now and is more funny than not. He talks constantly, which was cute at first but wears thin at times. He’s cool by me.

  3. Been out of the country so had a ton of yard work today. Figured I could watch a smoker while I toiled away. I usually 321 baby backs but spares were on sale. First time I ever cooked spare ribs this way. Came out pretty good.

    Most if not all will charge a %-based transaction fee on any credit card payment.  Unless you can make the value of the rewards exceed that cost, it might not be enough juice to warrant the squeeze - or even worse you could be hustling backward.

    UT = 2.3%.  TAMU = 2.25%. TCU = 2.85%

    This has been my experience putting two through on a 529 and the third about to start. I am always looking for credit card points, but the universities charge CC transaction fees that undermine any reward. I just do a bank draft type of payment.

  5. And is that some ripped up linoleum from some mom’s kitchen?  I was raised country, but the movies seemed to suggest that breakdancers threw down cardboard not stylish discarded geometric plastic flooring.

    Ain’t nothing wrong with tinned seafood. It is showing up in fine dining throughout the world, particularly Spain. 

    Yep. All over Europe now you can find small shops that carry only tinned seafood with about a thousand varieties of sardines. A bit of craze at the moment. And this reminded me that my daughter brought me a tin of sardines from Portugal a few months ago. Might be time to bust out the beer, crackers and Frank’s.

    I contend that no one has ever played the game Operation. We all had that loud-ass game, and we all developed our own unique technique to extract the bread baskets (whatever the F that was), but none of us have ever “played the game” by the rules. The only rule was to get them bones.

  8. We had a great trip. Flew into Salt Lake City, rented a car then went to Yellowstone, then to Grand Teton. Drove back down through Idaho and was blown away how pretty the area around Blackfoot Reservoir was. Unbelievable drive. Here are a few pics--none of them do the area justice.

    Very north end of Grand Teton when you leave YS from the south entrance

    String Lake. We actually swam here. It was freezing. Some guy from London saw us swimming and successfully convinced his wife to let him strip down to his undies and dive in.

    Oxbow Bend.  We went here right at dusk to see if we could spot a moose. No luck, but it was beautiful.

    Hiked to top of Inspiration Point. It was much higher up than the pic seems to show. I dug around in my backpack and found a banana. Daughter pulled this bag of crack from her backpack.  All the granola eaters were 'mirin'.  On the way up on the hike, we came upon a black bear--about 30 feet away. We moved on pretty quickly.

    Speaking of bears, saw this one in Yellowstone. It was several hundred yards away. Still cool though. And about as close as I would want to get.

    Rejino BBQ in Olton, TX.

    Texas Trinity plate. The perfectly rendered moist brisket isn't the most visually perfect I've ever had, but OMG it was so good!!! Ribs were excellent. Jalapeno cheddar sausage had me wishing I had ordered the original, but live and learn, right? The hunk of meat on the bottom right is 3 burnt ends, and are the best ones I've ever had in my life.  I damned near went into the pie scene in When Harry Met Sally. The cucumber/tomato salad was PERFECTLY tangy for this carnivore plate and cutting that "meaty" taste that builds up on the palate.  The bacon mac & cheese was creamy and hit the spot. Did not use a drop of sauce, so I have no idea if it's good or not.  Typically I put some on my bread, but not today. 
    $41 after tip and adding on the burnt ends( best choice of the day!)
    He does all kinds of daily specials like CFS or smoked burgers.  The time says he opens at 11, but I walked in at 10:45 and they were ready to go.  There is also a little express store in the same building with other stuff for the trip/ taking home.  I know it is a very remote location, but if you're ever out in the boonies between LBK and AMA; it is absolutely worth the trip.

    Lots of people out here rave about it. I need to get up there. About 10 miles from the farm where my wife grew up (alas, sold it a few years ago). Not much up there and a fairly drab drive, but you will likely see a pheasant or two along the road if you are driving about dusk.

  10. Boarding a plane in a few hours to SLC then driving tomorrow to the park. Been a long time since I have been up there. Looks a bit rainy, but I suspect we will manage. Youngest daughter graduated high school on Friday and just the two of us are going. Feels as if this is the last chapter in a book I have been writing for 25 years.

    One. Grandpa was a trucker- apparently they made the most of the weekends. 

    The desk clerk saw it all real clear; He never hit the brakes and he was shifting gears.
