New phone

Um, does that case manufacturer do helicopters, too?  

magsafe is a wonderful thing!

This phone is incredible!   Same as yours, I think.  13 pro max with upgraded (not all the way) memory....

I just bought the same phone for my wife 4 Christmas. Looking forward to giving it to her. The camera looks fantastic. I also upgraded the memory

The Cen-Tex Smoker

Love it. That is our next truck as well.

Ford hit a home-run with the new Bronco.  This falls into the category of a vehicle that, as long as it's more reliable than a Range Rover, will stay in high demand despite any pitfalls.

 Yeah probably not a home run…. They are way behind on production, the hard tops are crap and they are having to find another vendor to make them, they pissed off every one who pre ordered that have been waiting for over a year when someone can walk off the street and get to the front of the line. Meanwhile jeeps are selling like hot cakes!
  That said when the dust settles I’ll be in the market for the Raptor version.

Production issues that are self-inflicted aside, I'm talking about the consumer demand for them.  The production issues push it more into the "hard to obtain" category, which makes people want them even more.  

Consumers are weird.  Wranglers have traditionally been a piss-poor choice for a road vehicle, where most of them spend their lives.  Despite that, people still line up to buy them and generally love them.

This looks like a good entry level price to get into a chamber sealer

I really, really wish they'd make one for the Small.  I love my Large KAC, but the Small has a much smaller intake that is difficult to wiggle the damn Ash Tool thru (I do now have a small shopvac, but that gives you another set of irritations, I'd rather have a KAC).  First-World Problems...

@Botch You're in luck! They make one for the small. I just sent this link to my sister about an hour ago as she was wondering what I wanted for Christmas.

@Botch, could you really, really wish your buddy, @langner91, would hit the Powerball on Saturday?  You have the power, apparently!

I'm pretty sure I checked just a few months ago and they still didn't offer one.

I remember @cookingdude555 mentioning something to me about a year ago that the small BGE can just came to the market. (I also felt the same about the small being a pain to clean) The small can is a little more hidden on their website.  I've always wanted one but for $45ish dollars for a small can after tax and shipping kept me away. Free shipping and $5 off made it much more reasonable. In my head anyway.

I was at Lowes Sunday and a guy was buying the display 24" Kamado Joe. My son and I stuck around to see how the Lowes guys were going to get it in the truck.  I started talking to the new owner and learned he paid $500 for it and it's normally $1,200.

I went in to ask the Lowes grill people about it and they confirmed. They were totally surprised it would ring up at that price and they recently got the display. One of the workers wish he knew it was $500 because he would have bought.

I called around and could not find this deal anywhere. Actually, a bit relieved because I do no need another ceramic grill/smoker.

Their large version was selling around $350 a month or so ago. 

Damn, I didn't know those went that low on sales.

I bought a 1/4 cow for the first time.  Supposed to be grass fed and no juice.  I'm pretty happy with what I got.  I weighed everything and it all came out to $5.88/lb and it's 178 lbs of finished product.  It started out as 242 hanging.

Whoa.  Pretty sure I’d need an entirely new freezer for all of that.

My folks had a deep freezer in the basement, and would buy 1/4 cow and 1/2 pig every season; one of my chores was to run down to the basement and retrieve what Mom intended to cook the next day, and sometimes I had to do some long "freezer dives" to find what she wanted (it was always there, somewhere...)  
Unlike your trove, ours were wrapped in white butcher paper, marked in black magic marker to differentiate.

I don't think the sales were advertised anywhere. Even in store. My buddy bought 4 of them at a couple Lowe's stores.

I was glad they labeled because I was a bit concerned with that.  The only let  down is in the picture of the full view, the bottom left is the brisket.  They asked if I wanted the brisket or put into the ground beef.  I said I definitely want the brisket.  I was expecting the full packer, but mayble it wasn't like that because I only got a 1/4 cow.

That was my thought on your brisket. Someone got the point and someone got the flat. Good haul anyway

Correct. When you get a 1/4 they split the brisket. Next time ask for the full packer and if the other party doesn’t want it they will give it to you.

Last pieces of the puzzle were delivered, now they just get to take up room in my garage for a few months while everything is slowly built.
