Yeah, I am running on pure caffeine today.

My CreateAthon team had the Midlands Fatherhood Coalition as a client. These 8 young ladies kicked much butt.

110 students working over a 24 hour to produce work for 10 non-profits! All teams did amazing work.

3:00am and I had to give my team a 20 minute nap. I am shocked that I am still okay.

The ride home is going to be interesting.

I am starting today off grateful but somewhere around hour 16 or 17, I might need a hug!

We are locking in 110 University of South Carolina students for the Createathon beginning at 1:00pm Friday and ending after 4:00pm Saturday!

I'm too old for this!

I saw the sun come up this morning.

18 hours and 26 minutes later, the brisket is done.

I went lighter on the bark because the person requesting it is in chemo.

It still looks and smells amazing.

It is resting before I cut it, and after I deliver it so will I.

Seasoned and on the smoker.

I am so thankful for where I am today.

I get to light the grill in a few minutes to smoke a brisket!

Isn't it lovely - 15.58 pounds of deliciousness waiting to happen.

The other photo was the early stages of beef stew. I like to let it cook down so that the flavors get more intense. Here is the "after" photo - an entirely different taste.

It is a beef stew, mashed potatoes and green peas kind of Sunday dinner.

Then I decided to experiment with my mom's jumbo raisin cookie recipe by adding rum to the raisins. Not sure I added enough.

This may require more testing.

Kickstarter for my book Crash & Burn is chugging along.

What's the book about?
I'll let Ima Hack answer that:

It was great to see. They had over 400 in attendance. It has been going on for 29 years!

"But dad, you always tell clients to do something different..."

So, my oldest son set himself on fire, real flames, to do a call for extra crew for his new short film.

I am going to get a call from my ex-wife for sure. 😂 (Not really, this stunt is Mom approved)

Getting in touch with my southern roots - the fuel of my childhood.

Either one of these would cause @johnnieego.bsky.social's head to explode. This isn't for the delicate ones!😂🤣

Advertising may not be brain surgery but it can help change things! I applaud these creatives for trying to keep Charlotte colorful.

I slammed into some writer's block, so I decided to get saucy!😂🤣

Smoked meatloaf.

Trying to figure out whether to have mashed potatoes or rice with some green beans.

A sign of the end times.

I had heard of this attachment but even in South Carolina, I haven't seen it in real life. Someone shared this on Facebook.

Just when you think you know me.

On today's menu: Creamy, Comté cheese, chanterelle mushroom orzo with shallots and garlic.

I'm having seared lemon pepper tuna with it.

I wonder if I can make a living smoking meats for people?
