"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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
