    Not really trivial, but this is as good a place to drop it as any:   My son has a SATB2 gene mutation which has left him with a severe speech delay.  He didn't say "Mama" until he was 7 (he'

Cheering for the cheaters( $1 over bidders) on TPIR to lose. 

I don't begrudge the last person from using strategy by guessing $1 or max+$1, but I passionately root against anyone who pulls that foolishness during any of the first three guesses. 

A breezy and dry 70 degrees right now at deer camp in SE Uvalde county.  Sprinklers going on lawn by fire ring in the camp circle and fire flies are out and showing off. The dove, quail cardinals, red winged blackbirds and green jays at the bird feeder called it a day. On my 3rd ranch water.  All by my lonesome and couldn’t be more pleased after a hard day of cutting and mowing. 
 


What kind of self respecting deer camp has sprinklers?

Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful

I always follow that with, “Hate me because I’m better than you.”

Always be closing...

when making a pack of thick cut bacon and realizing last slice is actually double-thick, thick bacon.

 

Mmmmmmmm.  with my weak-ass attempt at Gordon Ramsay eggs...

Bacon cooked in the oven on parchment paper. Where has this incredibly easy way to make bacon been all my life?

Took the dog on a walk last night. Since she's 9 months, we're still going through the dart around puppy phase which makes walks a bit of a beating. Before the dog, I used to go on walks every day by myself. I'd either take some music with me or go with nothing to clear my head. Haven't done either in a long time. So I took some music with me on the walk with the dog and it was so much more enjoyable. I found her much easier to walk as I was less focused on what she was doing and more on trying to relax. And to top it off, I finally walked her late enough to see plenty of bats flying around the green space we walk. Haven't seen them since last summer. It's like seeing an old friend again.

Bacon in the oven is absolutely the way to do it.  Parchment paper or aluminum foil.   Perfect, evenly cooked bacon every time.

You haven’t tried it in the air fryer yet, have you? Better than the oven. 

Cast iron skillet or GTFO. All you oven assclowns probably have pellet smokers too.

Y'all arguin' over whether getting it cowgirl or doggystyle is better.  You're still gettin it.

IT's bacon whether it's cast iron skillet or a cookie sheet.  Accept your blessings.

We called it taking a piss.

There's something strangely calming and pleasing about assembling Banker's Boxes.

I think it's a combination of their simplicity, clever design, durability, and overall utility.

Pulling into Spec's parking lot 1 minute before closing time and employees hold the door open for me.

when a thread you've been reading descends into political shit-flinging and outlives its sell-by date, yet stays at the top of the forum, and when you look at the "LAST POST BY", it's poster after poster you've never heard of, probably all newly registered to Fight The Good Fight that everyone else stopped reading two weeks prior

maybe not trivial, but two fellow military parents sharing that their boys arrived home from deployment safely on US soil today.

I never take it for granted.

Not trivial, but highly pleasing.

yeah cause I ain't reading it and neither is anyone else except the newbie brigade-- it amuses me that they're in their fork-fighting when everyone else has moved on

Yup - the only time my wife has ever seen me cry was my daughter walked after getting back from S. Korea.

Someone else has probably already said this, but it bears repeating: a trail of thin, clear, blue smoke coming out of the stack of your offset on the Fourth of July.  Happy Independence Day, y'all.

Really digging these Saharan Dust aided sunsets. Makes the clouds at dusk look really beautiful.

I'm pleased by how many people in my part of Texas are not wearing a mask, how many businesses are not enforcing it, and how many cops don't give a shit.   It's not nearly enough, but it's a good start.

So you hate college football, and believe in killing the old, weak, and sick to make room for the strong. Got it.

Been honing the craft of flyswatting on the porch of my in-laws country place.

 

Now I'm pretty much a sniper with this thing.

 

Killing flies is oh so satisfying.

 

If I could do the same with mosquitos, life would be complete. 

Savoring that little, semi-melted piece of cheese that you find stuck to your Whataburger wrapper after you finish off your burger.  
 

A delectable bonus at the end of a great burger.

This is the correct process.

When there's tension in your neck and you can get that crack so right and satisfying

The nice kick from the salt in the chocolate chip cookies my youngest makes. It's enjoyable that she's at an age where she enjoys to cook for others. She's been working to perfect her chocolate chip cookies and is getting close. 

Edited by mdmost

Our household is coming to the conclusion that salt is the most critical ingredient in chocolate chip cookies. It's obviously not the most important in terms of being able to meet the bare minimum criteria of what constitutes a chocolate chip cookie (hard to beat the chocolate chips there...) but in terms of distinguishing the delicious from the merely adequate. 

She switched to kosher salt and it made a big difference. 

When you get a facetime call from your daughter in the middle of a work day and the first thing you hear is your fussy 17 month old grandson.....and then he sees you on the screen and becomes the happiest little turd nugget in the world.

The immediate relief of partially or totally immersing yourself in just-right cool water on a very hot day.  Ahhhhhhhh.
