Jonathon Nothing wrong with a nap, took one myself after a long day yesterday smoking brisket.

Spent all day yesterday doing brisket, nice part of it going in the smoker is set it and forget it for most of the day. Put it on at 5:00 am and took it off about 16 hours later, then in the cooler for an hour. Sliced it up today and enjoyed some and vacuum sealed the rest to enjoy later for quick meal.

processhead That is what is in the beer can he is holding, he should put an umbrella in it.

Tex_77 I just started reading Jack Carr books. I enjoyed the first one and looking for more, trying to read them in order.

Jonathon Peanut oil for my outdoor deep frier, canola in the house.

Long day with brisket yesterday, put them on about 5:00 am and took them out about 9:00 pm. About an hour and a half in cooler then into fridge and cut up and vacuum sealed this morning. Ready for easy meals, just put in boiling pot and ready to eat. My wife just informed me that her nephew would sure like some, another chit on my side of the ledger when I get older he will owe me.

Deepwoodsbutcher Nice job, it is getting close.

Jonathon I read on line they are starting to show up in Kansas also.

Jonathon I had an uncle that was at Pearl Harbor and survived the attack. Drove around in a Toyota with a front plate that said: I Survived Pearl Harbor.

Jonathon pretty good shooting, the zombies better be worried.

cdavis That rooster does have some spurs, dogs better stay away.

zbigjeff Saw that they are also off coast of California also.

johnsbrewhouse Looks very peaceful, enjoy your fourth. Better keep that dog away from Jonathan though.

Two briskets in the smoker, about 16 hours to go!

cdavis I foresee eggs in the near future.

ND Mike I am with you, I didn’t really drink a lot of coffee until I was in my late 20’s. I would drink it occasionally before that but realy got into when I was working 3rd shift at our plant. 32 oz thermos every night.

cdavis Very nice looking garden, not much better than fresh vegetables that you have grown.

shoprat53 It usually would be but not for Tex77, if Jonathan is posting a lot.

PatrickB Hope Jon doesn’t have any diseases, he eats off the fork that he also using to cut pieces!

RON PARRISH Sounds like it is going to be a working weekend for you. Don’t forget to sit back and relax some also.
