Olympics on. Hanging out around home. Pancakes for breakfast.
Starting the Big Green Egg for todays brisket cook! Smoke!
11 hours from now we’ll have brisket.
Having hard time keeping Big Green Egg at 200 °F. Ranging up to 230 °F but working it. Anything under 250 °F is fine, but I want 210 °F.
Brisket cooking nicely in 215 Green Egg. Mop sauce made. Cooking up BBQ sauce now.
2.5 hours in, added more chips and looks great!
Feeling intimidated.
“For what it’s worth, brisket is generally regarded one of the hardest cooks in barbecue circles.”
Started soaking wood chips for tomorrows brisket. Half hickory and half black cherry wood.
Just got nVidia GeForce 8800 GT to replace overheating ATI Radeon X1900 XT in Mac Pro. Got the special one for “legacy Mac Pro”.
Mac Pro up and running with nVidia GeForce 8800 now. Hopefully this is “Bye Bye” to random freezes and video artifacts.
Found the hornet nest Chase got too close to yesterday. Need RAID.

Downloading and applying iPhone 2.0.1 update. Suggest the 2.0.1 release should re-use the title “The Audacity of Hope”.
Whenever iTunes shows ‘Backing up “Jamie’s iPhone”…’ I should just get up, walk away and come back an hour later. It takes forever!
Maybe I need to push the Turbo button in on my iPhone. (Still backing up after 30+ minutes.) Soon I will hopefully upgrade to 2.0.1.
Is there a name for the syndrome where you sit waiting for a task to finish because you are sure the second you walk away it will be done.
Backup completed. iPhone updating.
I hope that Apple plans to take the next 12 months just on stability. Nothing new please. Just make it all work as well as it should.
