Cool, when do you go pick it up?

I spent most of the day painting. My smoker (BBQ smoker) was really looking bad and rusted. Its looking a whole lot better, I painted it with some nice black hi-temp paint. Tomorrow I am going to sand and re-finish the wood handles. I can't wait till its finished.

I'm just sitting here keeping an eye on things. Coffee's still warm.

Hello Y'all, Y'uns and All Y'all !!

The weather finally cooperated and let me put a few miles on the bike yesterday. I pedalled my butt all over the countryside yesterday ... about 30 miles worth.
On the way home I stopped for my usual liter of good ol' german heffeweissen beer for the last 5 kilometer stretch home and it was sure a good thing I did !! Thank God for being comfortably numb !!
As I was coasting into my driveway and up to my front step, I went to swing my leg over the bike before I came to a complete stop, like I always do ... except this time my shorts somehow snagged on the seat and I did the most perfect Chuck Norris tuck-n-roll onto the pavement, flat on my back less than 3 feet from my front door . Hopped up, looked around for witnesses (none seen ) and ran inside to laugh at myself and check for road rash !! Today looks like another good bike riding day .... can't wait !!

Well ... time to warm up some of yesterdays coffee. Forgot I was out of grounds .

Back home after a 3 1/2 drive from the daughter's place.
TOO much traffic, TOO many non-Driving Morons, and to beat it all, I had to drive Wifey's Cruiser.

It's GOOD to be home.

Who's coming up with this stuff?

And pushing the start of the weekly thread back 24 hours helps us how? Thanks to time zones and different work/sleep schedules, someone will always have a time advantage or disadvantage.

Skuttlecooler/Waterbutt combines the best/worst of the standard titles to make everyone happy/unhappy. You're welcome.

Just sitting here watching NASCAR this afternoon. Guess I need to make a phone call and find out when I can go pick up that sleeper I just bought.

Have a great week.
