Tempted
« Reply #-1 on: July 04, 2013, 07:59:40 PM »
I am not normally one to pay a lot for premium grade meat for BBQ, but... my butcher has Wagyu Tri-Tip on sale for $11.99/lb and Prime brisket for $3.99/lb this week.  Both prices are through the 10th, so I am trying to figure out if I can earn enough "wife points" by next Wednesday to justify a $30 Tri-Tip and a $50 brisket.  If you don't hear from me next weekend, I am either cooking the two greatest pieces of meat ever or I am dead.  ???

I agree w/ smoke.  Way to much money for the tri tip.

I ended up doing neither of them.  My wife made plans for the weekend, and there was no way I was going to freeze meat that expensive.

The other issue was I got a complete B.S. speeding ticket .  I was blocked in at a light and needed to change lanes to get to the side of the road that the street I needed to get home was on.  I sped up for about two seconds to get in front of traffic, and saw lights.  I even knew the cop was there.  that's how ridiculous it was.  Need proof of what a cash grab tickets are... In Texas you can do deferred disposition, pay your fine and go on probation for 90 days without the ticket ever being reported if you don't do it again while on probation.

I didn't have the nerve to spend any extra money after dropping $170 on the ticket.

$170 is pocket change. Try getting a speeding ticket in California!  ???
