Can we talk about the brisket at that new place in Tulsa?

I stopped by a spot called Smoke Stack last weekend, and they only serve their brisket sliced thick, like an inch and a half. The bark was great, but the thick cut made the texture feel more like a roast to me. Some folks at the table loved it, saying it kept the meat juicier. Has anyone else tried a place that does this, and what's your take on thick vs. thin sliced brisket?

A weekend in the woods made me rethink my bird bath setup

Last fall, I visited a friend's cottage by a lake. Watching warblers flit through the reeds made me see my own yard was too tidy. I came home and let a patch grow wild, and now I have chickadees nesting. Sometimes you need to get away to see what's missing at home.

Hot take: Sketching elevations on grid paper beats winging it for fence builds

I drew my backyard fence line to scale first. It caught a slope issue I'd have missed otherwise (and saved a ton of rework).
