Intake notes

Gary came to us after his previous household described him as "fine, honestly, just a lot on a Sunday." He arrived with a cooler, four folding chairs, and a rigid conviction that everyone else has been cooking brisket wrong. Gary is not a bad human. Gary is a human who has never once been asked a follow-up question and has therefore never stopped talking. With patient handling and a household willing to say "that is enough about the smoker," Gary rehabilitates beautifully.
