Thanks for the birthday wishes. Went shopping in New Hampshire, went for a short hike and then had a a nice quiet dinner at home. One of the advantages of being my age is you do not have to dread getting old as you are already old.

i don’t know who needs to hear this... Tomberlin 2022 https://album.link/i/1606957903 Example: A quiet but very intentional album. New Artist to me, and I really enjoyed the album a lot, sophomore release. I have not dug into the lyrics much at this point, but I feel that I will be rewarded when I do.

A good smoked turkey is hard to beat, especially when brined and managed properly. A good fried turkey is hard to beat as well, but I have found it's very easy to miss the mark and more so than I assumed initially given the "frying". We'll do ~35 turkeys for the "neighborhood" the day before thanksgiving and one of them will be mine. I always have a backup now...LOL, and last year it was a smoked one. I don't fry the turkeys...I just smoke the ribs...at least 9 racks of oversized Costco "baby backs". It's a bit much keeping them cooking evenly, but with a goodly amount of beverages flowing...first world problems! HS

A few Thanksgivings ago, I did a fried turkey and a smoked turkey. The smoked turkey was preferred over the fried, which surprised me.

Have a phenomenal day my friend!

I resemble that remark.

A little push back to the doom scrolling. ‘Are You OK?’ San Francisco Residents Say They Most Certainly Are. San Francisco’s national reputation has plunged since the pandemic began, and many residents say they are frustrated by how their beloved city is being viewed.

Productive day going through the countless, nearly identical keys I have to figure out what they open and engrave the thing on them.

Even though it's Ramen Monday, I had Pho.

The perfect end to a long day.

Belated Happy Birthday, Jim! Hope you had a great day.

Holy smokes that looks AMAZING, tyrion! I'll need to dust off my Pitts & Spitts smoker I've had for decades. It usually sees a lot of action ahead of Thanksgiving during our neighborhood Turkey Fry. If it gets a touch cooler down here I may just need to do a pork butt in the next few weeks... HS

I really need to settle down, but brain go brrrr...someone should not have given me an O'Reilly account. Oh, wait, I did. 🙃

I wish I were similar to the 6 million dollar man! Instead, I think I have a lot more in common with the Bigfoot guy.
