On the Outer Banks of North Carolina you don't even need to leave your car to get your beer - Brew Thru's for the win! Possibly North Carolinas greatest invention.

Ha, that brings back pleasant memories; had those in Dayton, OH too.

Congratulations! You are a much faster worker than I. I courted Ynette for twenty five years before we got married five years ago. Guess that is why I have the patience for long slow cooks.

I know the feeling. We haven’t had a real winter in over 30 years here. Sometimes we get a few cold days. But usually no more than 2 or 3 in a row and T
then it’s right back up in the 70/80’s.

Ironically, I'm "watching" a work required online training on how to manage your time well.   I would say useless training may not fit in there.

Trying out the new Hard Arkansas stone.

Inside skirt into marinade for tonight.  Wife is out of town, just me and the kids. They are getting Mac and cheese for dinner, then I’m fixing my own when they go to bed.

Terrific - well done! 
@SciAggie offers some family words of advice.  The mirror of those words is that us lads can only do one thing at a time - reliably, we prefer projecting our solution to the problem over listening to the problem, and, fundamentally we do have a 'nothing' box in our thoughts when we are in neutral and literally not thinking about anything.  Ladies don't have that and don't understand the concept.  
Congratulations to you both.

Huzzzzah!   It’s back back back.  Whenever I think about football it brings to my mind the delicate words of Mr P.Bull aka Mr 305 and his popular ditty; I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho).  

Specifically ‘I know you want me (want me)You know I want cha (want cha)’ 

Here’s the skinny;  the ‘off season’ was very short,  the transfer window is still open for 4 weeks, the season is 6 weeks shorter - if it runs the course, teams will play mid-week almost every week and plans for limited fan attendance have been shelved.  So what?  Teams with the best players and deepest squad will win more games than usual. 

Who’s going to win; Liverpool by a narrow margin - Klopp burns players and they have not brought in much talent.  Man City a close second because Pep can’t sort the defence, Arsenal are coming together well and 3rd could be on, Man Utd are fighting Spurs & Chelsea for 4th.   

Who’s going down?  West Brom will fight hard, but fail, Fulham have one-season wonder stamped all over them.  In other news, many emotional 55+ year old men are giddy with the prospect of Leeds being back in the top division.   Massive in the 70’s, a brief period in the sun in the 90’s - then flatlined.  They literally bet the farm and lost. 

Saturday

Fulham v Arsenal : 0-2

Palace v Southampton : 1-1

Liverpool v Leeds : 3-1

West Ham v Newcastle : 0-0

Sunday

West Brom v Leicester : 1-2

Spurs v Everton : 1-0

Monday

Sheff Utd v Wolves : 1-2

Brighton v Chelsea : 1-2

The fun gets underway in the Championship, too.  Stoke are travelling to Millwall. Down the ages this trip has been considered ‘a rich cultural exchange’ - but now the visiting fans don’t risk getting stabbed and beaten senseless before, during and after the game, it’s lost some it’s quintessential charm.    1-1. 

Only 37 more of these left to go.......

The guys that started those in the Outer Banks 40+ years ago were originally from Ohio. Don't know if they were an Ohio thing they brought to NC or something that proved successful that they brought back to Ohio.

Thanks for sharing that video. That just seems like a great way to cook with a bunch of friends and a lot of adult beverages. If this COVID thing ever calms down we’re going to find out with a bunch of y’all here at my house.

What CPFC1905 said, something akin to this old yarn...

His and her diary from the same day...

Her Diary:

Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong; He said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior I don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.' When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.

Motorcycle won’t start…can't figure out why.

Picked up my daughter from school.  Weather is finally nice.  Aside from the smoke.

@CPFC1905 - the following that you offered is spot-on...

I am continually challenged to manage to try and find and then stay with the subject and predicate in the protracted intro story.  Compounding my misery is the overblown use of pronouns thus the details are left intentionally vague.  Given where I am in life and my failure to recognize right answer when told I am resigned to such behavior for the duration.

Great day with my Dysfunctional Egghead Family, looking forward to the posts

Wanted to do some Paprika, store still had Fresnos so, doing them all 3 days 150 with hickory and oak 

Low and slow and worth the wait, yield is not high but you can't buy this in a store
