To set this up – last Sunday was my 71st birthday. Last Thursday was Grandson Ver 2.2’s 18th birthday. Today we needed brisket to celebrate. Granpa did one. And it was good. I used Zach’s Grilling Spices and Durkee’s Steak Dust for seasoning. Smoked with half oak and half hickory. This was my first hot and fast at about 350 for 7 hours. As opposed to my usual low and slow at about 225 for 10 hours of so. Anyway, food pron pics below. Raw on the smoker, smokin’, ready to wrap, unwrapped, some sliced, Grandson Ver 2.2 dishin’ up granpa’s brisket and potato salad and granma’s beans, and last Grandson Ver 2.2, my old self and Grandson Ver 2.1.

"You sleep safe in your beds, because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do you harm." George Orwell

"Those who cling to the untrue doctrine that violence never settles anything would be advised to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Nations and peoples who forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms. " Robert A. Heinlein
