    There is a famous meat market in Mt Airy, my best friend's parents in Bethesda used to drive all the way there.  I got some of their hamburger for a cookout. I have no idea why but it tasted so much better than grocery store burger.  

    Mt. Airy Meat Locker. I’ve gotten meat there. Their hamburger is ammmaaazing.  Used by the Famous Sunshine Burger.

    Are you working today? (7/3/2023)

    Worked for 30 years at a place with minimal holiday and leave but awesome pay. It was sold and my level position was moved to Utah. Now I do accounting for Prince William County Schools. Crazy leave, crazy holidays, and they don’t really care when you take it. It’s culturally shocking. But I’m loving it. So off today.

    I asked her where she wanted to go on Saturday, she got all excited and wanted to go to the Botanical Gardens in DC.  And then we're gonna hit some other museums.

     

    Mrs. Spiff and I sat on the couch with her last night, we had a long, free ranging conversation about a lot of things.  It was very positive.  One of the things she explained was that she wanted a white board for her room where she could hang it up and write down her to-do lists and goals but her grandmother wouldn't let her for stupid reasons (you'll scuff the wall, etc).  

     

    Mrs. Spiff went to bed early, as she's prone to do, leaving me with her niece.  I told her we'd plug the PS5 in after the Orioles game wrapped up.  

     

    Suddenly, she piped up and told me that she writes poems and asked me if I'd want to read them.  Or if she could read one to me.  Being an English major and having had to write my fair share of poems and then recite them in front of a class, I know how ****ing nerve racking that can be.  So I told her I'd take the dog outside for her final walk of the day and when I came back she could let me read one or she could read one to me, whatever her choice was.

     

    I came back, she handed me her phone and there were two poems there and I was ****ing floored.  They were legit.  Like, really, really good.  Now I can't say that I'm an expert on poetry and that I have a refined taste but these weren't sing-song A-B, A-B rhyme schemes.  

     

    I told my wife about this this morning and she had no idea about it.  So then the niece and I jumped in the car, dropped Spiff Jr off at daycare and then I took her to Target where I bought her two large Moleskine notebooks, one for poetry and one for to-do lists/goals.  Then we hit Chick Fil A for breakfast which she was excited about.

     

    She's been upstairs writing all morning, apparently.  Mrs. Spiff has confirmed a few minutes ago that her poetry is not legit.

     

     

    Such a good read. Soooo many kids in this world just need somebody that gives a **** and never get it. Props to you and Msp. Spiff!!!

    I made some big dino bone beef ribs today on the smoker and it was amazing. I used Heim's brisket rub liberally on it last night and pulled it from the fridge ~1 hour before cooking

     

    Got them from the Organic Butcher in McLean....smoked them low at 190 for 4 hours, then when it hit 170 internal and the bark was set, I wrapped it with some beef tallow that I had been smoking along with it. Put it back on the smoker for an hour at 225, then cranked it to 275 for the last 1.5 hours.

     

    It was like the best taste of brisket, but over and over again. Would highly recommend for special occasions or if you can find the cut somewhere like Costco where it is a bit cheaper.

    Probably my favorite piece of bbq.

    Went to Costco over the weekend and they had Shabu Shabu made from NY Strip steak. Just made steak and cheese with these and OMG were they great. Best steak and cheese I’ve had in ages.  Forgot to take a pic they were gone to fast. Get ya some if you have a Costco near that has it.

    Whoops. Screwed up my w4 when switching jobs. 
     

    And I’m guessing I’ll have to pay a penalty for that. 
     

    super not thrilled. 

    Happened to me last year. Luckily only a $54 dollar penalty. The taxes like $4000
