Day 174: J.P.
J.P. lives next to my sister Melissa down in Austin. He’s an old Navy man who lived on a diesel submarine off the coast of the Soviet Union back in 1961-1964. They were loaded with nuclear weapons as a deterrent against a Soviet attack on America. The first of their kind. These were remote controlled cruise missile nukes launched from the top deck of a surfaced sub. Not the later Polaris missile which was fired from beneath the water. Very interesting guy.

Day 172: Smitty’s Market Wood
These piles of wood fuel the fantastic BBQ at Smitty’s BBQ in Lockhart, TX. I chatted up the guy who carried wood into the kitchen and he said they used about 8 feet of a pile per day! Insane, and amazing. 1 pound of lean shoulder + half pound of moist brisket + 2 sausages = 4.5 full people (Bert is only half a person at age 11 months).
