"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I'm going offshore fishing and helping the GF move out. What's everyone up to?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Not much. Having some friends over for patio time a couple nights while refining my grilling skills. Had my Traeger over a year now and it’s time to completely master the brisket process. If that fails, have some racks of baby backs marinated in teriyaki for the ancient Weber.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Thanks, if I can’t get around the excess 150* stall time with the usual lower temps and a sooner / lower temp wrap, the high temp option may be up next …

My buddy had that same issue, that stall time like so many others. I've never cooked a brisket before, but got his feedback and told him - Hey, I'll do an experiment. Granted I've only done beef ribs before, which takes little effort. I like to find loopholes/shortcuts in life so I had to experiment with a 12 hour smoke.

Being from DFW, you'll probably burn me alive :p
