I’m literally ordering a framed copy of this for my workshop. Every young man needs to know and adhere to the “Swanson Pyramid of Greatness”:

Speaking of the center bottom topic: Rage, only once per 3 months. I’ve only been enraged once in 20 years. My whole family was standing inside the kitchen, watching me through the window. My young kids probably 7-5-3 watched the shit-show go down.

I had made about 4 briskets that were mediocre in a row, whereas my standard of excellence upon myself is to make Gordon Ramsey seem like a short order cook. Well, I spent about $200 on an overpriced 25lb packer brisket that was being treated better than my elderly parents for the prior 2 days. I opened the grill to find a shriveled “puck” where the brisket formerly was. I lost my friggin mind. I picked up the largest landscape boulder I could find, probably about 120lbs, and I threw it at and through my fence.

So yeah, Rage is acceptable once in a great while. I used my 20 year supply on that brisket.

As a fellow brisket smoker, I feel this confession deep in my soul.

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
