    as a fellow SoCal, the YETI roadie 24 is worth it, light enough to carry by one person, great to keep in the car too, for when you buying grocery in the summer, or short trips, keep stuff cold, great to have cold drinks for those 1-2 hour trips, cold snacks etc. Great for beach, etc.

Austin was not what I remembered. I'm now in a rural no city place outside of Waco now.

    Not falling for bbq meat again. Because of your bbq videos of the Hill Country, Dallas, and Fort Worth, I bought 2.6 lbs of brisket, 1 lb of baby back ribs, 1 lb of sausage at Rudy's BBQ in Round Rock Texas. The fat from the meats made me nauseous. I threw out almost all of the meat after I sampled each. I'm sticking to filet mignon when beef is my choice. I'm won't eat beef cheeks or any other bbq meat at Leroy and Lewis nor anywhere else. Your videos made the bbq look delicious.
