20230717 - Up in the am and got a bit of work done at the desk. Wen to the endocrinologist for a checkup and everything looks good. I stopped to pick up some auction items on the way home. Home for a minute and then J followed me to Ricart to drop off the ticking Hyundai and look at some used cars for both J&I. We stopped at 5 places and drove a Volvo that J liked. Home and I ate quick and then went to a Booster meeting. Home and L&I were watching the Bachelorette and G called, he had a tire pop on 270 and his car was in the center median... Got him calmed down and some friends that were following him brought him home. I called Bill Varney for advice and he said to call the Columbus police non emergency line to get a car out there so we could change the tire. It was POURING so I called State Farm and got a tow truck instead. G&I headed out. We sat in a McD's parking lot waiting for the tow. They said it would 45-65 minutes before he got there so we ran do Rally's and got some food. We just started eating and the tow driver called, he was at the car. We rushed to the scene, got the car loaded and then led them to Tuffy and unladed the car and dropped the keys in the overnight box. Home, couldn't sleep, that was the 3rd car to Tuffy in 3 days...

20230704 - Up in the am and checked on the pork shoulder. Got it wrapped in foil and L got the boys together. LJG Hazel and I headed over to Newcomerstown for lunch. We checked on the pork and it was done, so we just pulled it and had lunch, it was AMAZING! After lunch we hung out, relaxed, watched some TV. We headed home in the early afternoon so J&G could do whatever. L&I ran to Meijer and Giant Eagle to try out this new app 'Faslhfood' that has super great deals on stuff, but you have to go pick it up that day. We got that home and then headed to the theatre to see the new Indiana Jones movie, SO GOOD! Home and waited for boys to get home, then to bed.

20230703 + Up in the am and headed in to the office. CB came in and it is the first time in about 5 weeks I have seen him. CB, Cory and I went to Old Bag for lunch and got caught up. Back to the office and at the desk for the rest of the afternoon. It poured sheets of rain. Home and L&I ran to Kroger to get some buns and things for tomorrow. Home and gave Hazel a couple CBD treats and made her a tent over her bed. L&I hung out on the back porch, G had a bunch of friends come over and they walked to the golf course. L&I set our chairs out on the front lawn and got ready for the fireworks. We had Sam and Nancy, Nate, Jillian and Leo, and J came outside to watch the fireworks. I went in a couple of times to ck on shaking Hazel. After the fireworks I got things cleaned up and J helped me get the pork shoulder in the in the SmokinTex. Steve Weiland showed up on the back porch and we sat out there with some drinks chatting until 1:30.

20230701 - L&I went to Giant Eagle and got more meat for the smoker. We then went to BJ's warehouse club and got more meat and other stuff. We swung through Popeye's to grab some spicy chicken sandwiches on the way home. Home, put stuff away and had dinner on the back porch.
20230630 - First Brisket
20230630 - Up in the am and checked on the brisket, it was nearly done. I turned it up a little bit to finish it off and headed in to the office. Around 10 the brisket was ready to pull and rest. At 11 it was right at 165 and perfect. We took it out and I was amazed that the bark that had formed, that wasn't there when I put it in the foil. We sliced it open and gave it the finger and stretch test, it passed both, looks perfect. The taste test was the best part... OMG IT IS AMAZING! I took a couple of piece up to G to try and he loved it. Took some to Nate the neighbor and he loved it. Not bad for our first brisket!
20230629
20230629 + Up WAY TOO early and L drove G&I to his baseball game in Mt. Vernon. It was another weird day with all the smog from the Canadian wild fires blowing down. G's team did good and they won. LG&I went to Southside Diner after the game for lunch; it was super good! We dropped G off back at the field as he is playing with a couple of his buddies on another team in the afternoon. L&I home. I got to the desk and worked the rest of the day. In the afternoon I headed out to the porch to do email and finish the day. In and L&I watched a movie. We took a break to trim and season a brisket, and let it rest. After the movie G&I put the brisket in the smoker and started smoking it. I headed in to the office and did some stuff until 1am. J got home just as I was heading outside to foil the brisket, so he helped me. We got it wrapped up and set the temp and let it cook overnight.
20230628
20230628 - L&I went to Signatures for dinner and BINGO. It was just us tonight and a new bingo caller. We had a nice meal and then headed across the road to listen to a live band that was playing at Creekside. We ran in to quite a few folks we knew and just relaxed, listened, sipped margaritas and played some Pokémon.
