The sunrise looked promising on my morning walk so I ran out.
Smoking Brisket Island
Tom offered up a brisket that he didn’t have time to cook. I agreed thinking it was gonna be a flat. To my surprise it was a whole brisket, 11 lbs of beef! It was too big for my dutch oven so I cut it in half thinking I was going to do one in the oven and one on the grill. I couldn’t find the ingredients for the pomegranate braised version so I did both on the grill. I was naive and started it at 1:00 PM, which means I was smoking well into the night. The flat didn’t turn out as tender as I wanted, but the point side so excellent. Not bad for a 1st time.
We had brisket, rice & brussel sprouts for dinner. Thanks Tom.
Mothra
I was alerted to a very large Humming Bird Moth during happy hour, so I snapped a quick photo with my phone. I then brought it home and was able to properly photograph it, but in my old age I got lazy and didn’t do a focus stack.
9/11 Alan
The pandemic sucked on so many levels so I won’t enumerate on all of that. There were a few good things to come of that though. I’ve met some great neighbors and one of them is Alan. He’s been responsible for my beer education while filling me up with Costco food. A truly generous man. We’ve been celebrated Alan’s birthday for the past 2 days. His actual birthday is 9/11. Happy Birthday my friend.
Yacht Club Sunrise
Woke up early as usual…
Gilligan’s Island
During happy hour I heard there was a boat a ground so I had to check it out. Unfortunately the light was crap. I couldn’t help but think of Gillian’s Island.
23X
Today marks our 23rd wedding anniversary. We had plans on eating out, but we canceled opting for a home cooked dinner instead.
It’s my nature
It’s been a long time since I shot a nature scene, so a sunset was called for. I didn’t have a location planned so I just ran out to the shore.
Blues before sunrise
Sadly I haven’t been able to shoot any nature lately, but I just had to venture out locally and capture the sunrise this morning.
Oakland Honey
I stumbled upon this at the local produce market and now am a regular customer.
