GM! 💧☀️🤙

Excited to smoke my first brisket of the year. There's nothing like spending the day outside in the sun, making sure the smoker temp is on point.

We have bird feeders in the backyard, and there's still a mix of spring and winter birds hanging out together. I enjoy how, as a human, bird watching can be very peaceful, but the bird life is anything but.

I see the occasional cooper's hawk dive in, trying to pick off a snack. They don't care if I'm standing 10-15 feet away from them. They'll hang out in the backyard watching and waiting.

My favorite are the crows. They don't stop by, but I see and hear them around. They're so chatty! They are even more numerous around the airport I fly out of. Sometimes I'll be taxiing to the runway and see murders of them just hanging out in the grass. Sounds ominous, but I love it.
