Take 'em back to unfinished, and then poly seal 'em. Beautiful! ...and 'Congratulations'!

Beautiful!

We'll be driving through Texarkana, AR on the morning of the 24th. I'll have all 18 MINIs honk as we pass by Mallette's Museum.

Alas, I will be out in the Davis Mountains and the Big Bend on those days. Y'all have a great time!

Looks like a pawn shop. Hard to tell. Definitely decorator/industrials.

BTW: No association, but I'm only an hour away from them. Willing to inspect for a serious prospect.

Yep, but it looks like a nice job.

Since we moved a few years ago, my 1977 Cornwalls have been in storage. Made a sweet (for him) package deal with my son-in-law. Cornwalls and a Marantz 2325. Looking good! These replace a pair of Heresy HIPs (and an Onkyo home theater receiver) he has been using for years.

He and Susanna, together again.

I celebrate her life and her graduation. May the faithful departed rest in light eternal.

Those are all great. I would add that one of the Muller's has a place in Austin that is rated No. 2 on a lot of lists. I prefer Smitty's but if you his Lockhart you might as well go to em all. I would put those all at a 9 or a 10. There is ine in Belton that is as good as any of those. But Franklin is in his own league. I never thought any BBQ was going to be worth a 3 hour wait, boy was I wrong. In Belton, it's Miller's Smokehouse, which used to do taxidermy and bbq. I must have hit Franklin's on an off day. Very good and on par with the best, but ultimately I didn't find it worth the wait. I've never gone back.

Offset firebox, brick-lined smoker. Oak w/some hickory. Salt and pepper rub (sometimes with a pinch of cayenne). Fat side up. 185-220F. 30 minutes per pound (approximately). One can of beer per hour for heat control (used internally). If you are coming to Central Texas anytime, these are the places I highly recommend you visit. I'm big on tradition, not so big on neu-b-que. Snow's in Lexington Louis Mueller's in Taylor Black's/Kreuz Market/Smitty's in Lockhart Prause's Market in La Grange City Market in Giddings Luling City Market in Luling Cooper's in Mason (the original Cooper's) The Spread in Brady (smoked cabrito, with quail poppers as an appetizer)

Don't forget the McRib sandwich at Mickey D's.
