The brisket is on the Traeger. After four hours, we reach an internal temp of 165 and double wrap the brisket and increase the cooking temp to 275. It was eight hours from start to finish. The brisket, along with the traditional side dishes was a delicious summertime BBQ dinner.

Nice morning fishing with the kayaks with Linda and our grandson, Chris. One of the true joys of retirement.

@joeroganhq Exactly.

Bright, zesty, and fresh cod and shrimp ceviche with homemade tortilla chips. Paired with a fine IPA. Perfect for a hot day.

I was once a 22 year old guitar player, jamming and having fun. Here I am now at 69. Still jamming and having fun.

My dear friends, Doug and Brenda gave me a St. Joe meat market gift card for my birthday. I finally used it today, and it was wonderful. Two beautiful 1 inch ribeye steaks. One rare and the other mid-rare.

A short, but sweet visit with Keith this morning. Keith and I met 53 years ago in Chicago, and have been like brothers ever since. Always a pleasure to see Keith and do some catching up. Next visit, we'll get on the lake and do some fishing.

Making fresh pasta for my shrimp ravioli. Looking good.

Looks like I have a long walk home. Grok AI is crazy.

@Savsays This is why I would never engage with these people, or participate in these protests. They seek to create chaos, and are not interested in a civil debate. They look for any reason to become violent. This is a perfect example of malevolent sociopathic hive mind behavior.

1979 playing my 78 @gibsonguitar L5S. Those were the days.

I found this smaller abstract piece that I had boxed up and forgotten. It was one of the last paintings I did before putting my brushes away in 2020.

A photo from a 2004 live performance. I had seven of my guitars on stage, but used my 78 @HagstromGuitars Swede most of the night.
