I'm looking at a couple of 2022 4Runners - TRD Off-Road Premium. One has the KDSS and the other does not. I'm nervous about any additional hydraulic system since my wife's Limited's X-RES system started leaking at 70k. I understand the ride quality is better, but the cost to fix that stuff is ridiculous.
Anyone have experience with the KDSS, good or bad?
Change of pace. Stopped by El Grandpa Barbacoa this morning.
Arrived around ten til 8:00 and walked up to the trailers and seating area. Grandpa was already giving his explanation of the business and is history. There were probably 20 people there when I got there. Mostly families.
Next we were invited into the trailer to witness the opening of the pit.
As he was unpacking the pit, he pulled out at hunk of lamb, yanked out the rib bones, and started passing out tacos.
Following the pit unpacking, we went back out and ordered.
I got a sampling of tacos, a pound of lamb barbacoa, and some consome to go. When I left there were over 100 people eating and ordering. I was the only gringo.
Got home and ate the cabeza de rez and the pancita/montalayo (lamb belly). The beef was great. I didn't like the lamb belly as well. Both of the salsas were incredible. I also took a couple bites of the jalapeño lamb sausage taco, which was great as well.
If you like non pretentious tacos cooked in a traditional way, it's worth a try. They're only open Saturdays and Sundays from 8-11. I'd suggest getting the early to see the unloading and getting a free taco.
That was a fun game. The five man back line held great with the only goal coming on a set piece.
Both of our actual goals were good and the own goal was karma.
The nice thing about going on Sunday, even if not going for breakfast, it's that when you get in line it's already moving. On Saturday if you get there at 9:00 the line doesn't move until 11:00.
@Pablo this is my report from about a year ago. I have seen a couple other Sunday morning reports, since hitting #1, of people getting there between 5:50 and 6:50 and eating before at 8:15 and 8:50 respectively. You can order the entire menu on Sunday mornings.
Yeah, they use M&M rotisseries which burn real wood. Burnt Bean has an M&M rotisserie as well, but I'm not sure what they cook on it as they use traditional offsets for the heavily lifting.
TM 'Cue Course with Wayne Mueller
A couple of take aways:
1) Never seen anyone take a mallet to a brisket when trimming.
2) The cooked brisket that he sliced looked great.*
3) The Louie Mueller dipping sauce is probably my favorite sauce - I usually make John Mueller's version for beef ribs.
4) That old building is awesome and worth the trip from time to time.
*ETA - I don't remember ever being served brisket that looked that good at LM.
My largest expense when I moved in to a dorm my freshman year was on lumber. We build an extremely sturdy frame that lifted the bed off the floor with enough room to put the desk underneath. I don't know if we had to buy bedding, but I know I didn't make my bed the entire first year.
One caveat has to do with the capacity of the one executing the POA. I have seen at least two situations where someone revoked a POA by executing a new one and followed later by a finding that they were not competent to execute a new POA. The kicker is that a person can have sufficient capacity for revoking a POA, but at the same time not sufficient to make a new one - leaving them without a POA at all.
Spent the morning fishing Salado Creek. Lots of wading in the cool, spring-fed waters. Caught plenty of small largemouth and spotted bass. Only thing worth pulling the camera out for was this beautiful, Northern Cottonmouth.
As he was crossing to my side of the creek when I took the picture, I moved on shortly thereafter.
Also got to meet @Damor and his son at the local brewery afterwards. Nice way to spend a Sunday.
