Got out for some early training miles this morning.

No boiling involved... this time. Three minutes each side on the grill, just went into the oven for desired mediumness.

I think if I ever bought another watch it'd be a Doxa. For whatever reason they make me tingle.

It was hot. But the view was nice at the top.

Post didn't go through this morning. Took leftovers from last night and made breakfast.

Similar cut, but my friend the butcher calls it a David Earl after his dad.

Had leftovers from making chicken fajitas the other night so changed out meat and made steak fajitas tonight. Marinated the steak in olive oil, lime juice, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, and salt. Was good with peppers, onions, and homemade pineapple mango salsa.

I know I'm probably one of the few that didn't already have one, but Anova's BT cooker is massively on sale right now. https://www.amazon.com/Anova-Culinary-A2-2-120V-US-Precision-Circulator/dp/B00UKPBXM4/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1533399590&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=anova&psc=1

This, and one other piece of (admittedly) unsolicited advice - sometimes when major things go wrong for others that you care about it's easy to be so focused on them that you don't realize that shit is going sideways for you and you end up suffering significantly. Take care of yourself and your family.

As they say, dew eet.

A very happy birthday to you, Todd!

Happy Birthday!

Go big or go home.

I feel like I'm maybe the only one left here... got out yesterday for another blast through the local woods.

Happy birthday!

It's Nate vs. Brisket time again. I was able to find a whole packer in the 8lb range, which when trimmed a bit was down in the 6s, perfect for a meal + leftovers. It's been on since 4, seems to be stalling in the low 150s, so I'll wrap it shortly and am going to try cooking this one more by feel than by internal temp. Temps haven't seemed like very good predictors for me for tenderness so here's to hoping.

Ack, how did I miss this? Happy belated, Birgir!

What to do with leftover poutine, you ask? Breakfast scramble.

Switched back to the road today.

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday, Mike! Wish you were around more but hope the absence is because you're too busy having fun.

Nothing like riding with feels like temps in the high 90s.

Followed up with smoked sausage.

Started the 4th of properly with homefries cooked in bacon fat.

Take your time, however long it takes for Dan to respond works for me.
