    Jennings bbq, montgomery. Great sausage, mid ribs. Bad brisket. Dunno how they top 50

    From TM:  "The brisket is consistently smoked to perfection and is seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and Lawry's seasoned salt . . . "

    Yeah, that brisket does not look good. 


  2. I 100% had that bike. I tried to do BMX shit with it. It weighed 297 lbs. The BMX shit did not go according to plan.


    It was a couple of years before young Jerry started taking bikes off any sweet jumps, and the bike was slightly lighter.

    I guess dog chiropractors are a thing. Love that most dogs are like, "the fuck just happened?"

    Which begs the question, how do you know if your dog needs to be adjusted?

    I have a cousin who is an equine chiropractor.  I can't imagine how much money you could make telling people that the horse is going to need 3 visits for the next 3 weeks, 2 visits for the following 4 weeks, and a once a week maintenance visit for the next few years.

    I was thinking about this the other day.  My favorite example:

  5. I think you need to work on the delivery.  Your punch line makes sense when read, but is harder to verbalize.  I do like a good punctuation example, though.

    The literalist takes things literally.  The kleptomaniac literally takes things.

    Suspect his cholesterol levels , blood pressure and weight would have been tough on him even if he were the polka king of Sheboygan. 

    He was very big in Sheboygan as the fucking Polka King of the Midwest.  Don't sell him short.

    I was dealing with swallowing issues due to my (remaining) esophagus tightening from scar tissue.  Each one help some, for awhile.  But they have to do it very gradually each time so as not to rupture the esophagus, and well, kill me.  This time he just think if he can open the path to my (remaining) stomach and small intestine, I may not get nauseous quite as much.

    I hope the procedure gives you some additional relief.  I have second hand experience with this through my father and I know how debilitating it can be and the difficulty just getting enough nutrition with the restrictions caused by the surgery.  Nausea and reverse eating makes the matter worse.

    This bump also reminds me to check when I'm due for my next EGD.

  8. My wife has been without her satellite radio for nearly a week now.  They finally sent an email offering $4.99/mo. for 12 months. which is all I asked for in the first place.  If it were my radio, I'd either wait to see if I could get a @Fudge Nuggets deal or cancel for good.  I know the wife enjoys it during her commute, and I'd rather have a content wife than an extra couple bucks a month.

    My wife was doing some wordle type puzzle last night and said, "Don't judge me, but do you know what a "Glint" is?".  I said yeah and explained it, she said she had never heard of it. I said it's similar to gleam. She looked at me with the same puzzled expression and said "I've never heard that word either.". 

    Now try glisten.

    Seeing William Beckmann at the Scoot Inn on September 18th. They ran out of indoor tix so no indoor hanging out for us. It should be fun anyway.

    I don't see 9/19 on the schedule at Scoot Inn only 10/25.  Did the date move?  Looks like there are some indoor tix on 10/25.

    Where I can fish there is no submerged grass (we are on the cliff side) unless I crawl way up in the back of the cove but that’s a good idea. I assumed with the heat the big ones are 10-20 feet down, so trying to entice them up with an injured bait fish pattern. I wasn’t trying that hard. I have some big as poppers if we take the boat out this week I might bring my rod with me, bee creek around the corner from us has a ton of submerged grass. 

    Bee Creek is a great area.  My dad used to have a cabin on Bee Creek.  We've caught multiple 5+ pound bass back there - fishing conventional.  Most bass caught back there were on 2" smoke twist tailed grubs.  Point being that it wouldn't be difficult to catch bass on your injured fish pattern.  There also used to be several docks with great lights for fishing at night.

    2017 was the last time Pecan Lodge was a serious player in the BBQ world. I don't think they made the TM top 50 that year but I remember Daniel saying if the list was based on beef ribs they'd be in the top 10 (I agree with that). Last time I was there was 2021 and it was Dickey's quality. Haven't been back since.

    Pecan Lodge was on the 2017 list.   We ate there on our Top 50 tour.   It was good overall, but we haven't had any reason to go back.   Cattleack was the best in and around DFW at the time.  Heim was probably second.

    The changes in top barbecue over the past eight years has been incredible.

    Jealous.

     

    I fished the back of our cove on LT last night around dusk. Sinking leader and a large injured bait fish fly. A bright white and chartreuse one and a pitch black one. Nada. post-flood visibility is still real bad, water is still really brown, and you can only see 18-24 inches tops.

    You should also try some large top water flies up in the newly submerged grass.
