I had a brisket flat in the freezer and upon a family vote, defrosted it to grind up for burgers. I made homemade buns, which are simple and always elevate things. I also caramelized an onion for the occasion. I made some nice patties and froze the rest of the ground brisket for later. Then I had one too many and my dumb ass decided to cook the burgers slightly off the heat and forgot to oil the grill grates. They stuck, half fell apart and just weren't good. Edible, but not my best effort. That's all to say, here's a picture of the buns.

Correct. I've been there twice this year when I was in town and was disappointed both times so now I just drive a few more miles out to Helberg BBQ. Maybe I was just unlucky. I found the Terry Blacks brisket was quite chewy.
On the other hand, that Dallas location has been consistently good when I've gone there.

When I used to mod another site years ago, I dreamed of this sort of tool and remember reading about it. Fantastic!

Conservative Christian in-laws arrive tomorrow for three days. Almost finished hiding all the liquor and anything drinking related.
Wife and I are in our mid 50's.
I have long advocated for ripping that band-aid off, but my wife would bear the brunt of the backlash, so I keep up the charade for her. They are in their early 80's so their last trip to our house can't be that far down the road.
I ran into that a bit when I first was dating my now-wife. I just ordered whatever I wanted at dinner and showed up to family functions with beer and wine. She and her siblings soon followed suit, and the in-laws got used to it.

Amazing they are still open. They had been for sale.
It’s been a couple years since I’ve been in Rockin’ Robin but it’s a mess. Some good stuff tucked in amongst what is mostly a personal collection/museum.
Video is kinda boring and this Aussie’s forced laugh very couple of minutes get annoying, but hey, it’s gear. I’m always gonna look at gear, even overpriced used gear.
I would like to own a Robin. There is some nostalgia for me with one of their Strat style models.
Disappointed they didn’t show the rocket launcher in the acoustic room.
I definitely bought some gear from them over the years, but I always felt like I was getting ripped off a little. Last thing I bought was my 1973 Deluxe Reverb. I had a 1991 Les Paul HOF Deluxe (all gold). It had what I thought might be a crack in the neck near the headstock. I bought it used from GC for a very good price. Anyway, that Deluxe Reverb spoke to me and I was getting nervous about that crack migrating on the LP. So I offered it up, and they jumped on it, trading it straight across. I know they thought they were jobbing me (and they probably did a little bit, but I wanted to unload it and we made a deal. They had that LP upon their website the next day for over $3K (I'd only paid $1k for it). Who knows? Maybe it was a finish crack? I'd already had it looked at and the jury still was out on that in the "It's impossible to tell without sanding down the finish for a look). But that was the last time I ever dealt with them. But I still have that Deluxe Reverb, and it's still the best sounding amp I own. I also got another Les Paul (2014 Traditional), and even though it's not a custom shop guitar (let alone one of the first C/S guitars), it's a far better instrument than that HOF guitar was.

Michael flipping the gun said he wasn't a robot. He was no longer "ultra disciplined Marine military man"
I thought it showed a little Mike Tyson" Plan/ mouf" there, without being catastrophic.I always saw it as his being a little stunned and he forgot to drop the gun. Tossing it was like getting rid of something you forgot you were supposed to get rid of. It's like Sonny said, you're not killing from a distance. It's up close. Michael still is new to this.
