I know this is not the topic of the thread, but we are witnessing a banana republic’s fight to survive. They have to defeat Trump at all costs because they know he’s coming for them. He got duped in the first go around and the deep state has shown its hand. Now if he win’s he’s going to burn it all down and this is do or die for them.
The left has stoked division and hatred to the point that we are a powder keg and it won’t take much for the gloves to come off. Trump grows stronger, and the likelihood of a civil war draws closer with every indictment.
I pray that I’m wrong but I’m at peace with which ever way it goes.

Last day in CA. 6 am departure for an 8:30 flight back to the 103 degree hell of Texas. Last meal did not suck. Takeout from Flemmings in Santa Clara and a nice cigar outside at the rental  Really met some nice people on this trip. CA is not a bad place, it would seem that it is just dominated by stereotypes and liberals concentrated in big cities. Maybe there is hope yet to turn it red. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sam, thats a great looking place. Less house and more shop is the retirement mantra…
JR. We will definitely be back. Wife made that point last night. Guessing you are north of SF? She also wants to see Muir Woods again. It’s been since 2005 since we were there when we stayed in SF. Staying in SF is never going to happen again. I remember the Fairmont and shopping in the big mall there (now deserted) with her when she was pregnant with our youngest. Shame that people let that happen to such a great state.

Jr. I was in BH and then Monterey at the Hyatt resort. It’s been non stop. Of course breakfast for the girls is usually around 11 lol. Can’t get anyone on a schedule. Then a very brief stop in Santa Clara for the girls to see Taylor Swift (shut up, Shawn) and then back to Houston.
Now the wife wants a house in Carmel…..highly unlikely

And don’t bother apologizing for the truth
Drove 6 hours north from Beverly Hills to Monterey. Beautiful drive up the 101. CA traffic isnt bad, its just that CA drivers cant drive and the state doesn’t make it easy. It would be 70, then 30, then 70 then 30. I finally figured out as you go through a small town there is very little runway for the entrance ramp for people to get up to speed, pace traffic and merge, which causes a back up.
CA is a crazy state. Started out at 75 in Beverly Hills, went through several climates that ranged from 101 to 72 and back again several times as you get into the hills and coastline.
Monterey is nice, 61 currently and sitting on the patio to the room smoking a nice cigar. Hope the smoke police don’t crash the front door.
The juxtaposition of the dry and lush areas is amazing. in the valleys, the agriculture is impressive and the soil is so rich looking.

Thanks all.
So far I’ve learned there seems to be a lot of hypocrisy in LA
They allow tent cities along the sidewalks but red tagged and evicted all the tenants in a make shift RV park behind someone’s home.
And it’s certainly a have/have not town. But I guess that’s everywhere nowadays

That's solid stuff right there.
I did buy the Osprey setup at REI with the 30% off 4th of July sale, but even though I got a great fit out of it, there was no MOLLE. I tried to explain how I normally placed my knife right about here, my lensatic compass over there, and how my med kit was independent and off to my right side...
And I got glassed over eyes.
Nothing in that hippie world of REI gets anything about our military world. Sheep don't need med kits and larger knives I guess. And looking at the civie copies of the military lensatic compass, it has me wondering if any of them know how to do azimuth or back azimuth nav from points???
First time I was introduced to a Kifaru was from an army ranger teaching a combat medic course that had just got back from the sandbox. He flipped it open and showed us his med kit full of tampons, and I about bust a gut. Then I realized how important tampons are to a med kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Porch is all framed in, half the rafters are set as of the end of the day. Should be able to get the rest set tomorrow then blocking Friday is the plan.
3’ overhang to the front or west end of building 18” on other 3 sides.
As I get older I get more creative on hanging long pieces of facia. Strategic placement of scab material help hold it in place and line up thing’s properly. Sorry no pics of that….

When Assad in Syria used chems we didn’t use tactical nukes.
The Wagner group was probably leveraging to get richer. By posturing, Privozhin was able to gain billions in payments to remain “loyal”

Good job Sam. Channeling my inner Tate.. Have an Aussie wagyu ribeye and a Japanese A-5 wagyu fillet. Going to sear in the pan with garlic cloves and rosemary using the beef tallow I rendered off the prime brisket last weekend. Finish in the oven to 125  Also making crispy smashed baby potatoes roasted in beef tallow, then tossed in a spice mix with garlic, salt, paprika, cayenne, onion powder, chili powder. Lastly is yellow and gold cherry tomatoes roasted in olive oil salt an pepper and served with chiffonade of basil. Praying Im not screwing up the steaks.  Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don with those bags you might consider softer leafs if you aren’t going full air ride. More comfortable ride but you have the bags when things get heavy.

I’m back. To make people hungry Father’s Day lunch today with my dad and family. Went on at 16:30 off at 06:30. At 235 I thought it might take a bit longer was targeting 16 hours but it will keep in a warmed cooler. It has to rest a minimum of 4 hours so I’m only 90 minutes ahead of schedule. 17.5 Lb prime brisket. And the pan is rendered fat trimming that I’ll store and use for cooking.
