    What to smoke for Office christmas party

    For our Christmas party potluck, I did a brisket and 50 abt's. I talked the boss into letting me work from home the day before and smoked all day. I sliced up the brisket the night before, put the brisket and abt's in a ziplock container(s) and off to work I went. I now have orders for 3 more...

    I blamed you folks

    Turn your back??? TURN YOUR BACK??? I'd get a frying pan to the skull if tried that. Of course, I'm pretty lucky. I have the missus trained in what to look for in brisket, pork shoulders, and steaks. I rarely have to (get to?) go to the grocery store and our freezer is pretty full most of...

    ET-73 story

    Both of mine (one with two sets of probes) worked great outta the box. However, I don't know if I'd use the probes on ribs as IMO, there's not enough meat between the bones to get accurate readings. Now the smoker temp, on the other hand .... :)

    I'll repeat a saying that we have in Texas... "I don't GIVE A DARN HOW YOU DO IT UP NORTH" That even made a bumper sticker back in the 90's. KE

    Train Trip

    Hah. I just got back from the hospital where a good friend of mine is recovering from a kidney transplant (recipient). The nurse brought in a nice tray of hospital food and told him he could have some if he could pass gas. He tried for a minute or two, then asked them if he could have a...

    Pearl Harbor

    I have a very special place in my heart for Dec 7. I've always been a WWII history buff, but in 1990, on Dec. 7th, I graduated boot camp at Great Lakes Naval Training Center. Since then, I've always joked that Dec 7th was a great day for the Navy :)

    There's ice and white stuff on my smoker!!

    We've had a couple of light dusting's so far. I smoked a brisket on Tuesday for a pot luck at the office and it was windy as heck, but the temps were in the upper 50's to mid 60's. I'm ready for this I guess, new tires, new brakes and got the windshield washer's fixed. If not, I got a ham rig...

    What's your occupation?

    Some of those HP servers are beasts!! if this is just a typical n-tier, with a LB > web servers > app server > db server with the web servers serving the static images and such, I would expect the db or the app server to take the majority of the load. Depending upon how the scripts were...

    Load and performance test engineer. Fancy title for a web site tester. I basically make sure the web sites handle the amount of traffic they're designed for. There's not a site I can't bring to its knees... I'm currently with a phone company (for the past 5 yrs last month), but am...

    Beats dating and then marrying Willa Ford!! And Jessica isn't that bad. She's hot, and she's a Texan by birth. That alone gives her a +3.

    oh debi... how 'bout them cowboys......

    Um, Farve wasn't exactly winning the game here folks. Thowing deep constantly (bad decisions), couple of sacks and lots of hurries. I think the best thing that could have happened for the pack did. They got a good look at the future of that team, and it's a pretty bright future. Edit: Don't...
