Hey, thanks so much! I wish I had the original on this phone, but I’ve not taken the time to find that old SD card, so this will have to suffice for now!

I’d love to post all kinds more, but I have no clue what I’m reeeeeally doing, and where I should or shouldn’t be doing it!

I would kill to just have some help/pointers figuring out how to navigate this… Fediverse?

I’ve made a couple posts, on one, maybe two, um, Instances? In the communities there?

I don’t know. All this change is coming at like, the WORST time in my personal/professional life and learning a whole new world is just… Daunting. (waahhhhhh 😭)

Hey, kudos for even attempting a tri-tip! Even a good one is pretty great!

And yep, I write down notes on every cook I can remember to do it for, and my Inkbird App/thermometer does a lot of that for me now. Thing is a godsend.

I’ve wrapped before, using the “Texas Crutch” at the ~165° stall, but no wrap this time, I just spritzed with apple cider vinegar every 30mins after the bark formed well enough, and waited her out ‘naked’ until 2am haha.

Also, yes, I used this for my avatar image. It’s really just a personal favorite!

I’d like to add here, since you appreciate the variety of growing mediums, check out growing your houseplants in LECA (kiln-fired clay balls).

An alternative to soil substrates, and I won’t claim to be an expert on it at all. We do have around 300 tropical houseplants, though. And I’d say a good 50% are in LECA only and thriving!

Best of luck with whichever route you try!

Adding to many other great suggestions already, but check out the Syngonium family. They’ll often be referred to as an Arrowhead Plant. They are very forgiving, can be found in a TON of gorgeous varieties, and are often pretty inexpensive.

I guess tonight I learn how to make a smoker instance(?)!

Just did a 10lb Boston butt for a cabin trip this past weekend. May have a few photos…

Also, sorry, but zero idea on beef jerky that ships. Are you meaning like a brand of some that can be purchased online? I’ll do some research! Orrrrrr… Once I figure it out, you can post that question in the smoker Instance!

I love head-on shots! You’ve captured this one perfectly, and with a lifer, no less! Congrats all around!
