Displaced Texan

I’m on a business trip to Portland Oregon, and gas is $5/gam for regular unleaded here

So Bostonian.

Norm’s was awesome!

If you’re in Texas, you should relax and enjoy the culture. Slow down a bit. Sit a spell. Y’all come back now, ya hear?

In Texas, everyone orders a ‘coke’, and then a ‘flavor’ is specified…. Customer: “I’ll have a coke, please”. Waitress: “What flavor, sweetie?” Customer: “7-Up, please honey”. EDIT: The ONLY exception to this rule is when you order a Dr. Pepper. That is called out by name from the get-go. Especially if you are in Dublin, Texas.

You ain’t been to Groton lately. Still call ‘em that there.

I heard a similar explanation

I never heard a sub sandwich referred to as a ‘grinder’ until I was stationed in Groton, Ct. the submarine Capitol of the world (because of Electric Boat, the submarine base, and submarine training facility). I found it ironic that they didn’t call the sandwich a ‘sub’…. I later found out that a ‘grinder’ refers to a hot sandwich, such as a chicken parm, or a meatball grinder. Hoagie refers to a cold sandwich, such as an Italian Hoagie. A ‘sub, or hero’, is more of a generic term used for either hot or cold sandwich. That’s how I think of them, anyway.

I’m sending that to Mrs Tex!

This. I hunt feral hogs with an AR. It’s more than plenty for them. Shot placement is the key. Just below the ear will drop them. I don’t shoot beyond 100m. Usually 50-60m. Are you looking for night vision, or thermal? Can recommend the AGM Rattler or the Hogster for thermal.

RIP Lt.

From the article: “The Biden administration has been pressuring the oil industry to increase output as surging inflation and historic gas prices continues to make life miserable for millions of Americans still struggling financially from the pandemic.“ I found this humorous. The Biden administration has done nothing but impede the US oil/gas industry from drilling, and producing. He’s been begging the Saudis, and other ME countries to increase production, but what about domestic producers, Joe? We have plenty here!

David Hogg is a cu*t.

The RI AG is ultimately going to lose. Bruen clearly paved the way for CCW across the US. RI is going to get bitch slapped. As long as WE press the issue and fight back.

Colorado judge issues TRO on mag/gun ban in Colorado city. https://reason.com/volokh/2022/07/22/colorado-u-s-district-court-issues-tro-against-magazine-and-gun-ban/ I think this is a VERY good sign of things to come.

Motion denied.

I’ve never personally desired a black stone. I don’t cook for big groups where I would need a flat top. My grandmas big ass cast iron skillet fills that role for me. I AM considering a new smoker though….not sure what I want. Cedar Park is the next town over from me! I’ll check that out!

This isn’t bbq, but I had to post it….cause y’all NEED to try this. Recently, my step mom had a get together at Morton’s Steakhouse. She RAVED about the appetizer she had…’bacon steaks’. Here’s the recipe. Instead of using a pork belly, I ordered some bacon steaks (1” thick cut bacon) from Herman Wurst House. When I get back from this business trip, we are gonna make it.

You can shoot it any time you want. Tex will do just fine, thanks.
