    the only thing electric is the electric power for the rotisserie, they still burn wood 

    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.

  3. 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.

    If by POA,  you mean power of attorney, and you're in Texas, this is about all you need to know https://www.hhs.texas.gov/regulations/forms/advance-directives/statutory-durable-power-attorney-sdpoa

    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.

  5. 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.

    Stanley's is serving breakfast again, and I'm a happy customer.

    That looks awesome.  I bet it would be good with some strawberry preserves, too.

    I've been on pocketcasts forever, it's a good android option, but I dislike how they started taking away features and put them behind a subscription paywall. I'd gladly pay a one-time fee, but fuck subscription models in the face. 

    I guess ignorance is bliss - I don't know of any features that I need behind a subscription paywall.  I don't even use the free account.  Just the app with whatever podcasts I want.  I listen to podcasts almost exclusively when driving - probably 4 to 6 hours a week.

  8. When I went to elementary school in VA in the late 70's I have no idea what time we started - get your ass up, eat Captain Crunch, get on the bus, go to school.  I do remember the school year going until mid-June - fuck that.

    Yep, every once in a while we would see an open bed truck driving around the streets with a bunch of wailing/crying people in back dressed in KKK type robes & hats. 

    Was that in Taiwan or your Mrs. Brat's hometown of Taylor?

    Yes, it was rescheduled. I’m looking into the indoor tix now, thanks. 

    Thanks for the heads up about the show.  We'll be going and was able to get the pre-show lounge tickets as well.
