My day yesterday: MY FIRST BRISKET, 5.5 kg, wife brought it home, we had never seen one in the grocery store before.
I trimmed it, poorly, cut off most of the flat because the 22" grill on my Weber kettle was not big enough, I don't have a slow and sear, don't have charcoal baskets and so used the snake method, kosher salt and coarse black pepper, cooked it for 3.5 hours around 280 unwrapped with fat cap down until 155 internal temp, double wrapped in extra wide foil, reduced heat to 230, cooked for another 5 hours to 190 rested it for an hour and then seared it directly over coals on both sides to crisp it back up a bit.
Nice! I did one of those up on my webber last week.

A case of the who-done-it's here. So I live out in the boondocks...Yesterday I noticed an outdoor large potted flower was missing...Like a 10g pot with a 30" tall flower in it that I grew from seed. There were 3 pots, and now only 2. I was reviewing the cameras last night and i think it was the freakin' meter reader for the electric company. He backs right in next to where it was but I can't see him actually loading it. I have 2 meters...one on the house and another non the garage, but WTF? Going to check the cameras some more and see what I can see. No real value, but just the principle of it really pisses me off.

Busted....I caught the dirtbags...on camera that is. 6;30 am this past Sunday morning...I was home and sleeping. A beater red car pulls up my driveway, which is about 100' long. 2 passengers and a big dog in the back. Spare "donut" on the rear. Driver gets out, comes to the front door, then the side door. He sees the cameras and tries to avoid them. Shaved head, wearing a mask. Along with 6 cameras I have double driveway alarms.

There's about a 2 minute pause in the camera...so I don't actually see them load the plant. What worries me more is that they were scoping the place. WTF, why steal a plant... This dude looked like a serious junkie, super skinny, and I swear I've seen him before, so I'll show his pic around a little. I don't really want to deal with cops... They'll waste a bunch of my time, want to look at my security system, and do nothing...but I will warn my neighbors. Gonna call the old folks right now, as they are up at the crack of dawn and might know something.

I've been dealing with this shit on my city rental, but out here it really scares me!! I need another dog!

A two minute pause in the camera during the most important part? You must have bought your cameras from the same manufacturer of those police body cams ;)

Oh I still have em...and not like I'm gonna call the cops. I'm not happy. It's a cheap Swann system, with decent 1080 cameras....2 cameras caught them, but I have it set on motion detect, so yeah there is a pause on the one camera. They pulled in and backed all the way out, intentionally I am sure, because there was no license plate on the front of the car, and we have front plates in NY.

I think there must be a way to see all the video, and not just the alerts, but I've never really played with it that much. Time to figure it out though.

This is the 2nd system I have had...I got robbed of most of my outdoor crop about 7-8 years ago and that's when I bought my 1st system, and then this was an upgrade after a lightning strike 2-3 years ago.

Just ordered up some new cameras...including some Wyze for indoors and some new outdoor ones.

Fucking thieves suck!! But this was a good wake up call for me!

I have several of these deployed around our farm as "bear deterrents". You can use blanks or live rounds.... ;-)
Aim them for a kneecap....we don't want to kill anyone do we?

Looks like a noise maker but without some mods the projectile likely won't cause much if any damage.

Don't say Texas, don't say Texas
Ok, not Texas. ;)

I saw these before after I got robbed of my outdoor crop, and I was thinking about buying some. Only problem is I also have a ton of wild life. But yeah, ones with a loud bang would be great...might wake my sleepy ass up!

But how dumb are these guys...If they are casing the place, to steal a plant that tipped me off? If that plant wasn't missing I would have never looked at the cameras and wouldn't be the wiser. Maybe I am over thinking things, but thieves are out in full force right now! Yeah they don't want to come in while I'm home...the 12 gauge pump is loaded with number 1 buckshot, just point and shoot...and I won't be shooting any warning shots.

But that would get messy since I have a few plants about 4-5 weeks into flower....I wonder if meth heads make good super soil? Prolly to acidic :lol:

The plant is a ruse. Simple. Take something mundane likely not to be missed.

Then wait to see what, if anything, changes.

Did a drive up the Kennebec River in Maine, Nice old fort from 1750'
Built toward the end of the French and Indian Wars to keep raiders from Quebec from canoeing down river.
Also used as the staging area for Benedict Arnold's attack on Quebec City.

Fifty miles upstream on the Kennebec

Another 50 miles up stream...
Off for lunch at the Appalachian Trail Ferry canoe, and a quick bone at the landing
No thru hikers , was going to leave some trail joints. I'll try again at another day.
