Anyone else smoking the turkey tomorrow? I’ve got a 13lb bird, brined and spatchcocked, that I’ll be smoking in my new Oklahoma Joe’s Bronco smoker! Here’s hoping I get the timing right!

How does one go about getting a hearth stone for a fireplace? Are there standard sizes? Can most stone yards do custom sizes?
Church website question: I’ve recommended Squarespace before for even small churches that want to prioritize ease of maintenance. But it’s been a couple years since I last touched it and helped a church build and maintain a website on it. Is it still a good rec? ⚓️🕯️
This is a niche post, but: I HAVE been to Boston in the fall. 🍂🍁 Once. For SBL/AAR!
What’s a song or hymn that can bring tears to your eyes? Happy or sad tears.
Ordered an Oklahoma Joe’s Bronco smoker. Gets here tomorrow. Excited to try it out!
Internet’s falling apart. Economy’s falling apart. Politics is falling apart. Planet’s falling apart. What a time to be alive!
Not me over here tearing-up watching the Ken Burns American Revolution documentary. 🥺
