Best Of

Had the honour to provide some leadership training at Rolls Royce this week.
Seeing this at the entrance brought out every shade of humility in me.

Absolutely stunning piece of work that simultaneously brings forward pride in achievement and sorrow of loss. 

Leftover pulled pork from this past weekend.

We wouldn't have this problem if everyone just got vaccinated.

I got vaccinated as soon as I was eligible (February, Moderna). Still got Covid early this month. Thankfully it was mild.

The analogy I’ve heard that’s helpful is to view the vaccine as kind of like having an umbrella in the rain.  It won’t completely prevent you from getting wet (sick), but it’ll stop you from getting soaked (hospitalization, death).

Nearly everyone dying of covid these days has been unvaccinated.  Why eligible people remain hesitant is mystifying to me, especially when it’s free and readily available in the US.

Cheffed this up a couple days ago with some brownies (all gone)

That fancy new mask mandate gonna dampen the mood on this any? 

As much as I'm a proponent of public health and condone vaccinations and other safety measures, this will be outside and everyone can make adult decisions for themselves, I'm not going to babysit anyone.  Unless there's a mandate by my city that will shut us down, it's not mandated by me.  I will throw out anyone who exhibits known symptoms, as per common sense.

I figured as much. Common sense, who knew? 

Unfortunately, I feel like the entire state is headed back towards a mask mandate

Heck, we might not have this problem if everyone just wore masks and socially distanced.  

I think Louisiana rocking a solid 38%….pathetic….proudly got mine….wish people would stop being so foolish. The misinformation out there is amazing 

Thighs in progress, leftover sweet corn, and fried zucchini.

Beans and BBQ chops tonight. 

Ground sirloin, bacon, onion, beans; great northern, butter, red kidney and vancamp pork and bean, katsup, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, molasses, mustard and salt

Smoked over hickory for an hour at 250°-260° then covered and bumped up to to 300° for two hours.

Removed beans and held in oven at 150° and set up egg for the chops 
Cooked chops indirect at 350° for 40 minutes turning and applying sauce maybe 4times?
