My neighbor Frank tried a brisket last summer where he only spritzed twice the whole cook. He used to soak it every hour like many folks do, but the bark would never set right. After he followed the less is more advice, the bark turned out dark and crunchy. He told me the meat was still juicy inside, which was his big worry. It changed his whole approach to smoking now.

Totally get that, finding those hidden connectors makes all the difference. I've been using little game trails to skip the main path too, way more peaceful and I see more deer. What's your new route like?

Wait, the violet shampoo soak first is smart. How long do you usually leave the actual toner on after that? I feel like my ends grab color too fast sometimes.

Notice how everything starts simple before we make it tricky... your basement gym just shows that pattern. We keep adding stuff thinking it will help, but sometimes the basic way was just fine. My garage bike is buried behind gear I never even use anymore.

We had a whole binder for Naruto... filled with terrible guesses about Tobi's real identity. My friend's theory about him being future Sasuke was painfully wrong. Those messy notes were the best part of the week though.
