Grabbing a good bottle of whiskey tonight. Any suggestions? I grabbed a bottle from a small distiller in Kentucky at specs last time and it was awesome.

This weekend I'm getting to go eat at a place called Sugar and Smoke in Fredericksberg where the chef there works with Wagyu and prides herself in having a farm to table menu. ...and did I mention I don't have to pay because it's my birthday? Unfortunately in a way, she was featured on Chopped on Sunday. I hope that she doesn't get swamped on Saturday.

Growing up I used to be infatuated with the Viper, but to me now it seems like a fat vehicle with a lot of engine. I'd rather drop about half the cash of retail on one into a hotrod (like Tom's Camaro) instead of having a viper.

You also just indirectly reminded me that I have almost all my music on Google Music and I can stream it here at work instead of listening to Pandora. Thanks!

I've never got to see them live. A friend of mine said that they are extremely talented and one guy plays on a 12 string for some songs. And yes, I always crank Welcome Home

C0heed T0p!

Oh and because Iove statistics and the way you can use percentages to invoke emotion. "Healthcare costs for Texas A&M graduate students increase 327% under new healthcare reform."

That blows. Fortunately for me I am not affected because I am on my parents insurance plan. Ironically though the whole idea of the program was to make health care more affordable to those who make less and have less access.

In an email i got this morning... "In order to make the Graduate Student Health Plan compliant with federal health care reform measures, additional coverages had to be added. The out-of-pocket costs of the premium for the GSHP will increase from $14.61 per month to $47.87 per month." I pulled the coverage policies to find out what this "additional coverage" is. Emergency room deductible drops from $250 to $100 and annual wellness exam is fully covered instead of a $25 co-pay and 20% of anything over $500. So in other words any healthy graduate student who does not visit the emergency room will pay an additional $399.12 for $25 worth of benefits (if they choose to do an annual wellness check). Real life example of the changes "free" healthcare provides for grad students who are making no more than $20,000 a year.

What;s your opinion on grass fed. I've heard farmers who say they don't understand what makes it better

Damn that's nice. What exactly do you gain through the lower temp?

My mom decided to go to Roadhouse instead. yay...

By cook low do you mean remove from the cast?

Butter seems to go nuts in a hot pan but ill try some. Also the burn is normally right past yummy. Normally I don't put fat over the steak I usually pepper then salt then throw it on. The steak normally adds the fat

Quick question for you guys. When I'm cooking steaks on the cast iron it usually burns the steak in a few places (and doesn't carmelize on others) when I go for super hot heat. Should I just pull it off sooner or what? I leave it on one side for about a min. If I cut the heat a little I get good caramel but have a more done steak( perfect for the gf however)

I'm in a freakin Ebay selling mood lately ever since I sold the S3 I may sell my Transformer Prime and dock and pick up a Nexus 7 because I could pull a profit on that as well and have what seems to be a much better tablet. I need to sell my Apline Navigation drive. My friend just offered me 25% of any of his stuff if I sell it for him. He has some pretty descent paintball gear and such.

Nope, he bought a CX-9 because the Hyundai was too small for the family, and he saw how good my Mazda's have been. Ohz. Split the booth with Kevin, and you can give demos while driving. Might be an idea. Initially I read the italics above and I was thinking WTF Aaron!?!

Just picked up a newly refurbished Galaxy Nexus (though oddly enough Asurion sent it to him in a brand new box and everything) for $200. I'm going to warranty mine and flip my replacement onto Ebay where they are going for over $300 all day and make a few bucks.

We need an SSA convention. It will nothing but intense sessions of weight lifting, craft beers, BGE feasting, german car driving, and maybe a little audio. We "tried" once. Can't wait to tell my girlfriend... "You are going where?" "To meet people you know from the internet???"

I can't stand Kristen Stewart. she always looks constipated.

I've taken it once before and I was a machine. Focused beyond belief on everything I was doing that day.

I wish I had some addy to motivate me at work. This shit gets boring.

Don't think I'll ever ghost ride the whip like that!
