Tri-Trip to Smoked Tri Tip

On a farm-Barton Rouge-Fort Worth trip. I delivered a cooler of meat to my oldest son this week along with a great year old rescue beagle cross.

“Tri tip took about an hour on the smoker. Pulled it at 132. Wrapped it in foil with 2 tbsp of beef tallow. Let it rest in the oven for 2 hours. Perfectly tender.”

Day 2 drive from Louisiana was torrential rain and fog. And I was welcomed by my extended Mexican family to a perfect evening of grilled beef and pork pastor tacos, laughter, conversation, and new young cousins playing.

Dia tres I shared an adventure with one of my claimed daughters to get a heavy load of rose mica gravel for her landscape renovation. She drove a used tow-haul mode and sheets to keep the truck unscathed!

Heading home with an outstanding male AKC Norwegian Elkhound. I don’t have to explain, but he listens anyway.

Would you like a Coffee?

I decided to skip watching another Apple TV show about beautiful food, people, and places. Roasting coffee for my third time. Enjoyable, nerve-racking, and a nice break from watching other people’s lives.

Roasting coffee beans experience.

Suggested Resolutions

I don’t make resolutions. Every day I should do better, help someone, or give myself a break or reward.

However here are some possible resolutions you may want to adopt!

  • More naked days - figuratively. Be honest, unabashed, listen to what you feel. Save the energy of image. Prepare be surprised when you realize some truth in the enemy.

  • More naked days - literal. Saunas, Ben Franklin’s air bath, massages, definitely a day without layers. How will you have moments with sunlight, white linens, love, terraces, gardens, or courtyards?

  • More steam, sunbaths, and meditation, imagination, and reflection.

  • More kayaking to feel floating, free choice, water, and your breathing good air.

  • More great tasting glasses of water than triple whiskeys.

  • More hot showers with a crisp cold rinse.

  • More cold showers melting into a hot rinse.

  • More cold walks, MUD/WTR, supplements, and fires.

  • More walkathons, walks to a friend, and walks with a friend.

  • More fiber, day and night.

  • More play.

  • More relaxing muscle and mind into a stretch after exercise.

  • More releasing the weight of stress with the stress from lifting weights.

  • More aromatic and edible plants.

  • More adding value while you’re alive.

  • More funding solutions like AI to match donated socks for women, children, and the poor.

  • More French doors, studios, silk clothes, and lanais.

  • More museums, silence, and music.

  • More book club where you don’t pick the books.

  • More captioning to appreciate accents, native voices, and music. You’re probably descended from original people somewhere in the world.

  • More glass cabinets indoors and organizer walls in garages and closets.

  • More happy dogs and cats through dark rugs and rubber mats in their winter sun spots.
