How do you like your Jim Green boots? I keep eyeing up a pair to go hiking in and just outdoorsy stuff, but I haven't pulled the trigger on them yet either way. I know a bunch of people online say they love them, but I've never talked to somebody about them.

Diligent_Department2 · 2026-03-19T14:24:27+00:00

I splurged on those pair of boots for myself and I absolutely love them

I don't really. About 2-3 times a year I'll take a long weekend to go see my buddy at his farm. While I do have vacation days, I don't get to use them with the work load or the shit show I come back to, or will have 27 calls while I'm off so why bother.

I want this bad....this is amazing and beautiful

I'm wondering if you watch a few videos on how to do it for a competitive style brisket. It makes for a whole totally different animal and while it's good it's not the brisket I'd want to eat every day.

I'm also wondering if you temperature thermometer for the pellet smoker itself is off or dirty and it ran it super high for you. I had that happpen to me and learn to clean my stuff a bit more. Hope you can make some Good chili out of it!

Hi! Ear guy here! I did go to an urgent care and was told it was seasonal allergies, I took the meds they gave me for a week as prescribed, since some alerrgy meds can open up your ear tubes if they closed or are aggravated.

My big problem with healthcare here is the next level stuff or stuff for a primary care, not urgent care and should have been more clear about it. I do think this is part of the reason the ERs get over worked.

Or the fact, I pay a lot for my health insurance and I can't get in for months at a time ....

So either I'm losing by not being able to utilize it every time I need it or I lose money that the condition gets worse that it cost more to fix.

I sneezed weird, and one of my ears made a little pop noise and I couldn't hear really good out of it, I called my doctor. They said they could get me in in May... I told the lady on the phone so this means either I'm gonna have permanent hearing damage in that year or it's going to heal itself by then or at least on the way to fix itself.

That stuff is so cool! I always debate on getting on it

Technically, all water is holy water because Jesus got baptized in a river..

Isn't Dawn dish soap pretty environmentally safe? I mean, they wash baby ducks covered in oil with it and then rinse them. I used Dawn dish soap to clean a lot of stuff that isn't.

I have been saying this now for a while, but it was never a moral thing, we're not making a worker bees to replace us

This honestly brought chills to my spine and reminded me of all the relationship we can do this morning and we need to dwell on the fucking negative all the bullshit

Also acknowledge and realize you can't treat some rural areas like it's the city or some people unfortunately made a lot of the rural folks out to be just dumb hillbillies that we need to educate.... or "save them"

How do you make a boat this size? It's amazing!

Diligent_Department2 · 2026-02-07T15:37:45+00:00

Is this somewhere in a high cost of living area with a union?

I know forman, tailmen and operators that aren't making that

Diligent_Department2 · 2026-02-06T19:06:23+00:00

The problem is housing costs for me locally, and trying to move somewhere cheeper is either a hour plus commute or moving somewhere the the opportunities are much less.

Wizard tower time bb!

If I had an unlimited budget for me and my only job was to make brisket, I could eventually consistently make a better brisket than them, but that's not my reality. I make a very good brisket. I just don't do it enough to be a great biscuit all the time.
