  1. I've had two good meals at the Dallas location, but I'll never go back to the Waco location. Really subpar plate of food at that location. A lot of the Austin brisket apparently is cooked at the Lockhart location and trucked in these days.
  2. For years, Stanley's sourced meat through Country Meat Market in Tyler. It's a good business, but they sell Black Label Reserve Beef, which is "high choice" (top 2/3 choice). I've never been disappointed with what I buy there, but I'm not trying to sell brisket. A couple of years ago, they switched to Cut Beef, a local ranch. Pasture raised cattle, but I presume not graded. I gather they couldn't keep up with demand. 44Farms has been a change for the better.
  3. And that, my friends, is why you have to keep the creosote out of the chimneys.
  4. He'll sell it the minute it's time for a restring.
  5. TSLA stock up 27 points at the moment. That doesn't seem manufactured or manipulated at all. No, sir-ee.
  6. A few drinks in and I forget how to use commas. It's not a bug. It's a feature.
  7. We're in the back of 111.
  8. I gave it about 15 seconds per side too much on the sear, but damn, it still was good.
  9. Also, this is Bubba. He's an American Bully, but he's kind of small in stature. But he's got them lats. Still, even though he's small, he weighs around 60 lbs. He's fairly useless. Scary looking but scared of everything. My friend was pet sitting him.
  10. Archie just went full speed on a squirrel. He missed, but damn. Now Maeby patiently waits. They've ruined our yard.
  11. It reoccurred to me that I currently own a car and the founder of that car company was, in fact, Hitler. I'm sure glad I never bought a Tesla.
  12. Tried the half-chicken at Stanley's today. It was great in the taste department, but it was in the neutral zone between dry and juicy in the breast. Probably working out the kinks in getting it cooked and held, but it's not quite there yet. But the rub on the skin was great, and the included side of Clucker sauce made up for small sins in the cook.
  13. Two things that suck about traveling, likely lack of bidets and white noise machines (my wife had a Marpac app that was discontinued. Not sure if she still does, but I need to sideload it onto my phone for travel.
  14. I can't fall asleep to the flickering light of the TV, but we use our Google Home speaker as a white noise machine. Occasionally, I'll play rain sounds on it. The ocean one wasn't as good, but those things have lots of relaxing sounds programmed. And if you don't like the internet speakers, there's always the gold standard: Marpac mechanical white noise machine. We got a pair of them when our second child was born (so he wouldn't wake up the 3 year old. You can tune them and block out just about everything.
  15. I would have have described it as better than fine back then but not great. What I ate the other night was great, and I don't know what could be improved. I forgot to mention above that they also changed their beef source to 44Farms in the last year. The vibe is awesome for sure.
