Djgb13 2,338 Posted August 30, 2018 Already sitting at the lake, drink in one hand cigar in the other. Getting the campfire started it's a beautiful evening. You guys should try to get away from the political slap fights and get out in the Great Outdoors. Anywho, to all of you that have jobs have a great Labor Day weekend. This is how i feel almost every weekend. Some people are here doing the same thing with the same people even on the weekends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a great invention, but it has made me far more accessible than I really want or need to be. My grandpa lived to be 90 and never had one. My dad is 73 and doesn't have one.

Fine, old people don't get tech, but did I read correctly that you are holding up a FF draft for 4 days because you won't check in on a staycation? If so that is not cool dood.

If so that is not cool dood. Hes gonna preselect before he goes MIA. Still, checking in at least once maybe a day or two later wouldnt hurt. But cant say I blame him for wanting to just turn it off for a weekend. If I did that though my family and friends would freak the Fock out at not getting a hold of me since I talk to them every day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthernVike 2,080 Posted August 31, 2018 Update? Its looking amazing. Great crust. Internal temp is at 176. A little higher than I thought it would be. I have a T time down in Walker at 8, may have to have the neighbor keep an eye on it for me. When she hits 203 she goes in the cooler for at least two hours . Its going to be a great day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love a good whole hog grilled. Dads got two of those big grills you pull with a trailer. One has the thing where you can close a grate on top of the hog and flip the entire thing. Havent had brisket since I left Texas. I dont have a smoker and neither does dad. No one around here cooks brisket either Might have to look into getting one soon.
