The best Texas BBQ road trips must include both classic old school and new "craft" BBQ. Lockhart has some great options but I love wandering around Smitty's exploring, and daydreaming.

We also had the brisket biscuit with smoked strawberry jelly, it's as if Willy Wonka went into the BBQ biz

Jeebus it's hot and nasty

You can see the new tower in Austin from 1st Street and Stassney, wow.

Burgers at BBQ joints are no longer an afterthought. They are a good choice for a budget and pack tons of flavor. Also some joints allow you to bypass the BBQ line to order a burger from the bar menu like this L&L burger from LeRoy and Lewis

BBQ Bryan More Ribbees goodness today

7.5 lbs of chicken quarters on the mini Chudbox today, love this pit!

Made some bbq ranch sauce and used some smoked chicken quarters from yesterday for this bbq chicken Bacon ranch pizza; damned good. Gonna work on my own crust next.

Samples for Blue Corn Hatch Cookies at Central Market. These are good! They taste like a very sweet cornbread. It’s Hatch Chile season y’all!

Lowe's with the Halloween skeleton DJ this year. I still have my eyes on the sea captain

Fun fact: My Margaritaville blender fits pretty perfectly in a carry-on sized bag.

Was gifted the #kingofthehill Funko set, yep!

Write me up for one twenty five...

Drove my NC Miata 1st Gen to work this week and even though it has the least sexiest headlights of the NC series, I took a Hannah pic and like it

Lunchtime in Shreveport!

Surprisingly impressed by the new Live! Casino in Shreveport/Bossier. Reminds me a bit like a smaller Durango/GVR. Might stay here next time.

Shreveport: Where the riverboats aren't even in the water.

Today in 2025, @Astros DH Jose Altuve hits the 250th home run of his career, while being showered with boos at Yankee Stadium. #BuiltForThis

The spread at Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q today for lunch! Food was delicious!
