Happy birthday, Brent! May your day be filled with biscuits, as long as that doesn't trigger global catastrophe.

Jeff, Given the hitch/drop issue, have you given any thought to having someone modify the tongue of the trailer? I mean the kayaks can't weigh much and having a stepped tongue might be a long better in the long run than a single use fracking 100# hitch setup that you have to dick around with all the time since you won't want to leave it installed in the truck. Also, sweet looking truck. I'll happily adopt it in 3 years after you've put 15,000 miles on it.

I'm jealous, but for me having just bought the 2018 11" cousin to what you cast aside, it's a nice step up from any ipad I've used previously and for once, actually impresses with it's ability to function rather than simply waste time.

Yes and it was dinner for tonight and tomorrow so that nights of sportball would be less stressful.

No pics but yesterday was a serious day of Traegering. Got up at 5:40 to put the ~5lb pork shoulder on at 200F to let it cook very low and slow while I took Lily to a basketball tournament. Came home before noon, checked, things were progressing nicely so helped the neighbor haul/chop wood for 2-1/2 hours (he's got two kids under 2...) at which point the shoulder had hit 165 so I wrapped with some apple juice and let it go again. At 5:30 I pulled the shoulder at just over 200F and put it in the cooler to rest while I used the seriously pre-heated Traeger to reverse sear some Fillet Mignon for Andrew's 10th birthday (let that set in...). That went for around 45min till it hit 125 and which point I wrapped and let it sit in the T on the "keep warm" setting to let me catch up with cooking steak fries in the skillet and to get the gas Webber good and hot. Seared the steaks for 2min each side flipping until internal temp reached 155F. Pulled and let rest for 10min while arranging the rest of dinner. Sliced and served and it was, by my estimation, the best job I've ever done cooking steak. It was moist and tender and needed nothing other than the salt/pepper that I rubbed it with prior to cooking.

Yes to vacation. Hard pass on basements and that other stuff. RE: the truck/car scenario, if the X3M rides like dogshit I'd look elsewhere. And seriously, why not lease something so you don't have to deal with even considering that you "own" it. See what someone would do for a one or two year option. It's not like you need much mileage. Punt the decision without much commitment, that's my real opinion.

^^ Hardly down to the wire, I'll be doing mine this weekend after being out of town for work all week.

Brisket was much more tender than it looks.

Got home from vacation very late last night/early this morning. Decided to enjoy the one nice day for the next several.

Effing amazing work, all around. I'm jealous, work has been so nuts I've had no time to tinker with anything.

For those that don't know - https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/generator-fire-brings-down-webnx-data-center-in-utah/ Short version - power outage at the data center, backup generator kicks in and catches fire, fire suppression systemin triggered, lots of damage ensues. HC's server was amongst the most damaged and thankfully, in the end, was able to be repaired allowing for the site to be restored. Thanks to Todd for sticking with us for all these years.
