So, it's day 2 of my 16 week experiment. seems that I'm proud that I can wait on lunch. But, I REALLY need to beef up my arms if I'm gonna stay at 2bills... SHEESH. Never realized how week I actually am. OH, and planking looks easy, but it gets you..... Stuck to it for two days at least!!!

Brisket (don’t tell Travis)

Decided to make a brisket. Monday bought a 6 1/3 pounder and made a Guinness based marinade. Wednesday morning flipped it over. Thursday night drained it and put a 15 herb and spice rub on to rest until Saturday morning.

Started the smoker at 6:15, at 10:45 after 4 hours started basting a Guinness based mop sauce each hour. We hit 160 internal temp and mellowed the hickory, cherry and mesquite fire to hold the smoker temp between 150-200.

Pulled it off at 3:45. Cut it up at 4:15.

Nice!!!!!

Wife of the year

Alright I'm biased. My wife is incredible. After 15 years at the same school she is finally being recognized for her devotion and amazing character. She'll be teacher of the year for her school.

I felt it a great time to tell you all she is the triple threat! And amazing teacher sure. But, I couldn't have picked a better mother for my kids. Oh and as far as a wife/partner.... She's a 20 on a scale of one to ten. HOT, sexy, loving, obviously patient... Incredible.

Happy Valentine's Day, my love!!!! You truly do complete me.

Smoked Pulled Pork

I love charcoal cooking. Don't know why. Just do. Sure it's about 100 times more work than gas. But, I just love seeing hot coals reignite!!!

Hence the Smoker. Today I woke up at 5:30am to get the smoker started and put in a 5 pound pork shoulder. We're shooting for pulled pork tonight. Started raining, but I've been able to keep the heat. As of just now it's been in for 5 1/2 hours.

Trying for 10-12 hours... More to come!

The race is on! We should have decent cars this year. Fastest Swiss Cheese on the planet without a propulsion system.

And a nice quick teardrop!! Stay tuned!!!

Awkward

So, one of the funniest punch lines I heard was from Jim Jeffries on KROQ.

"That sure makes this rape awkward."

I laughed. A lot!
