  1. Radio call disappeared. Silence is still better than national call.
  2. And by contacted, they likely mean door kicked down at 3:30 am this morning.
  3. Usually terrorism requires destruction or killing for political aims. Until some motive is developed, FBI isn't going to classify as terrorism.
  4. Welcome back, Box.
  5. I suspect this "can you help me with this?" thread pops up some when people are searching the interwebs for help. I also suspect those people are surprised with the level of help provided by Surly.
  6. Usual Suspects was the best ending by far.
  7. Checked out a new place today - BBQ Fiends in Hutto. A truck parked at Rockabilly Brewery on a hill above Brushy Creek just south of town. One of today's specials was The Manchaca - brisket, refried beans, bacon, and fried egg served on a tortilla (clear homage to Valentina's Real Deal Holyfield). Pretty damn good. I got a half pound of brisket, half pound of pork ribs, a chorizoqueso sausage, elotes, and potato salad to go. Good write up by Daniel Vaughan a few months back and the sausage made his recent list of Favorite Texas Barbecue Bites of 2024. Just based on the brisket taco, I know I'll be back.
  8. Saw Billy Gibbons, Chris Layton, Mike Flanigin, and Jimmie Vaughan at Antone's on Friday. Arrived early enough to grab one of the stools along the wall. Gibbons started by saying that he wasn't feeling great, but the show must go on. Played several ZZ Top songs and Gibbons voice sounded terrible - painful to listen to because you could tell that it hurt him to sing. It seemed that they improvised some and probably had Flanigan and Vaughan sing a few more. I would have been fine with just hearing the guitars without singing. I thought they would cancel last night's show and the Ft. Worth show tonight based upon how bad Gibbons sounded and felt, but they played last night.
  9. This. Get some decent coffee, a cold brew filter, and a mason jar.
  10. I've watched the first two episodes so far and its compelling. @kingkoopa6 should weigh in, his post in the Squid Game thread makes it appear that he has watched more of it - maybe the whole season.
  11. My aggie buddy is sure to say - "it was just a show to see who had the best 4th string players." You know why I am so sure? He started that crap two weeks ago.
  12. In 2017 I did a day trip to Brownsville from Austin for Vera's barbacoa. Might have to make that run again.
  13. You're still talking about sex, right?
  14. Provolone for me, too.
  15. I feel like you corrected us previously.
  16. Mandolins can cut veggies extremely fast - but they don't have too. Slow down, pay attention to what you're doing, and toss the last parts and you should not lose a fingertip.
  17. You can post 10 old pictures with stories on FB an hour, but takes 2 years to respond on a Surly thread.
  18. After several years with everyone on my list surviving, I hit with three in 2024 for a total of 121 points (Richard Lewis, Shannen Doherty, and Jonnie Irwin). For 2025 these people are on the clock: Harvey Weinstein Val Kilmer Jack Nicholson Rudy Guiliani Celine Dion Martina Navratilova Bruce Willis Bam Margera James Van Der Beek Young Thug
  19. Absolutely. Since I can't reheat and keep it medium rare, I thinly slice and fully cook with onions and peppers.
  20. I don't like reheated prime rib. I usually get Gambino French rolls and make some bad ass Philly cheesesteaks. You can put the meat in the freezer for 30 minutes and it's much easier to slice really thin.
  21. Sous vide at 131° for 8 hours. Ice bath for 10 minutes. Compound butter and finished in 500° oven for 10 minutes. @jimmyjazz horseradish sauce was a hit again this year.
  22. Christmas Eve - homemade tamales, rice, charro beans, jalapeno poppers, queso & guacamole. Christmas - prime rib with horseradish sauce, smoked turkey, sweet potatoes, red potatoes, green beans, yeast rolls, cranberry sauce.
  23. Dad, this tree won't fit in our backyard.
