On first Grandson watch. SWMBO w/ Daughter in San Diego. Due 8/9. I will be in there on due date, 8/9, at noon local. 

Naval Officer  Son-in-Law on way back from  deployment on USS Boxer, MH-60 Sierra pilot, not home
until 9/12.

4.8 pound butt. Put on 8 hours ago. Some parts 180ish. Some 160ish. Been cranking at 250, bumped to 350 a bit ago.  
Willing to pull even though not ALL probing like buttah. Can (but will) pour another Titos and Grapefruit. 

Too hungry to wait. 

What to do?

    Seems like there should be no rush. Let it ride until it's buttah...............and have another Titos or two.  :)

    Sounds to me like license to have at it-now is the time to experiment with all those cooks that were precluded by some family constraints.  Lets face it-once domestic tranquility returns you will likely have even less influence than now.  Hopefully I am wrong but the averages would say other-wise.  ;)

    Let it roll and enjoy yourself a quiet night with the smoke coming off the Egg and a nice drink in your hand.

    Sounds like you might need some chopped pork instead of pulled pork. Chop it up and eat it.  

    BTW - congrats on the soon to be grandson!! The grandkids will definitely change you but in a good way.  I've got a granddaughter and grandson.  Well worth wait on some meals. Lol

    Tito's and grapefruit is refreshing this time of year.....be doubly refreshed and wait it out. The olympics are about to start.....like the athletes, make the sacrifice and go for the gold.

    Good luck, I'm waiting for my 3rd grandnephew(1 each from a nephew and 2 nieces). Little Flynn could be here anytime from this weekend till next friday. It's my niece's first at 35 and the doctors are watching like a hawk. Since she's 5' 2" and her husband is 6' 4" she is running out of room.
