I was at kohl’s. They don’t have cheap stuff and wife had 10 kohl’s bucks. If I didn’t spend it, she would head down and do about 500 dollars damage. Fruit of the loom boxer briefs.
But think how many full weeks’ worth of underwear that would get you!

Not exactly sure.
Some person in another thread is asking about control burns for lawns in town. Heck, I avoid it at the farm let alone in town.

Good thing I bought tickets the other day. All today's showings just sold out this morning. Going to have to get there an hour early to get the comfy, reclining seats.

Wherever I go, there I am.

I'm going today at 11 (other events prevented me on Thursday evening). We have reserved seating though, so I buy tickets online and get the seat I choose. There weren't many left for the 11:00 IMAX but I scored one that will suffice.

A goldfinch just landed and perched on my outside window sash and proceed to peck at the glass. Weird. Seemed to want to get inside at my big dracaena corn plant.

Change to graduation. Wife and son decided on no Taco Bar. So all we have is soft serve ice cream and some relish trays. Looking at smoking some brisket. Gotta see how well that will work.

EDIT: Now the ever changing menu is dry rub ribs. This could be some work.
Yes it could. How many racks do you think you would need?

Why don’t they sell underwear in 7 packs. Picked up a 5 pack that had one freebie so I’m one short of having new underwear for a whole week. I know they sell the fancy singles that cost 20 bucks a piece but I’m cheap. I complained about 6 for 35 dollars.
Weird. I picked up a 6 pack of t-shirts this weekend that included one freebie to make it 7.

That's the hard part, because unlike regular chunks of meat, you can't go by weight with ribs. Being a small town, there will be some who won't eat, some who eat random things (I usually pick one thing from each place I eat when we have 3+ graduations to go to). Wife's guest list is 150 invites roughly. Figure that means 250 people approximately. Not all will make it and some kids will stop through without invites (kids don't get invited here, they just go to who they want).

May have been a compromise last night. Dry rub ribs and some pulled pork for those who don't want ribs.

Quick math, say 13 ribs per rack (pigs have 17 generally but many cut the little ones off). Slice in sets of two and serve like that. (Hey you don't have to stuff yourself at our place), that means 6.5 per rack. 18 racks in a case means roughly 115 people per case. So.......30 racks??? I have a friend who smokes stuff in a massive smoker, problem is, he is doing another graduation the same day for the one at the church across the street. Pork loins. As you know pork loins and ribs get smoked at totally different temps. Have a call into him.

I figured I could put almost 30# of brisket in my small smoker. That would require me to hit it about 15 hours worth. So smoke one batch, freeze it, and then hit another wave the night before and cooler that, blend it frozen with fresh and it would keep the moisture fine. Ribs, you really can't freeze ribs really well I believe so it takes it out of my wheelhouse.

Two observations.
Her date is VERY tall (for that matter, so is the gal in the green dress).
I wouldn't worry about the girls. They appear to outnumber the boys nearly 2:1. :D
The tall girl has a quote in the yearbook. "No, I do not play basketball and yes, the weather is the same up here."

Evidently, the Billy Ray Cyrus rap song was the big hit and was played twice. Unfortunately, the DJ did not play the Baby Shark Remix.

BC could you smoke the ribs earlier in the week toss them in a fridge and just put them in warmers, the day of the reception?

Did you go to prom?

Youngest plays that stupid country rap song. Now have “I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road” stuck in my head.

May have a place (good meat vendor) who will sell me the ribs and smoke them for a nominal fee. Will be done Saturday though so I would have to store them somewhere. How do you refrigerate 25-30 racks of ribs????

I have never refrigerated ribs, but sounds like that is feasible. I'm just trying to figure out how much space I would need for that. I think I know what our garage fridge will have now.

I was at one where a guy served whole loin chops to everyone, had a crew grilling them on his monster grill

Can you use fridge space at any of the in-laws homes? What about redhead threesome gals fridge?

Otherwise, you could go the old school pioneer route. Dig a hole in the yard, put the ribs in the hole, cover with snow (ice would probably work), and fill in the hole with dirt.
