    @kl8ton - Enjoy the ride.  Hope there is good weather for the journey.  Above all, have fun!
    We have a cold front pushing through.  We might be dodging rain.  When we start out on Monday morning, the predicted temperature is 44°.   Last year we did this ride and it was 95°!

    Took the new neighbours’ daughter for a long walk and ice cream with our son this morning. My daughter was away and missed out. Neighbours delivered homemade dumplings just now (the wife of the couple is Chinese).

    Great grub right there. Old neighbour that sends you endless supply of garden harvest is Chinese too? Are you in Chinatown?

    Nope. The neighbour who routinely gives us veggies is Caucasian. 

    We are East of Chinatown.

    Now that is a win right there @GrateEggspectations.  Better to be lucky than good.  Great eats for sure.

    It’s past time to actually start administering slow play penalties. It’s all bark and no bite now.

    Well.... I did something that I said I'd never do. I came home with a pellet smoker! That just sounds and feels wrong. I took the dog on a walk this morning and I stumbled across a Weber Joe and this Camp Chef smoker sitting outside with a free sign on them. Once home I grabbed my truck and went back to the neighborhood and picked it up. 

    I don't know how to feel about this. I've owned around 25 grills/smokers and not one has been a gasser or pellet grill. I just have no interest in either of them. I also had the same feeling towards social media. I finally joined Facebook 4-5 years ago for Marketplace. I don't go out searching for people on it or have, "friends" on my account. I pretty much use it for Marketplace and a few forums. So I consider it a tool and I'd be losing out on some real insight I've gained when it comes to live streaming and technology driven forums that I've joined. I can be very hard headed when it comes to certain things. (Just ask my wife) The whole, "I don't do social media" attitude probably kept me away from some great ways to network and a great tool to have if I wasn't so stubborn in my ways. This was my exact thought when I came across the pellet smoker this morning. Do I be hard headed and walk pass a free pellet smoker or do I open up and try out a pellet smoker that will cost me very little if anything. (I haven't tested it out yet other than plugging in it to see if it works but I'm hoping it will.) I already want to hate the pellet smoker just for the fact that it's a pellet smoker. I shouldn't think like this but knowing that there is a pellet smoker out in my garage just feels wrong. So I'm going to try it out and use it as a tool as I did social media. I guess there is only one way to find out. 

    Off to buy pellets later this afternoon. (That sounds so wrong and stupid. I'm sorry!)





    The pellet grill stayed around for a month and I did 5 or 6 cooks with it. It pretty much went how I'd imagine it would go. Too many buttons and waiting around for it to come up to temp. I went with hickory pellets thinking that might be the heaviest smoke profile as I knew pellet grills weakness is their lack of smoke profile. I'd set each cook maxed out for the smoke option and you could hardly tell that there was a smoke profile on something as simple as poultry where it should easily stand out. I did like how the pellet smoker fan would almost crisp up skin on chicken but it was inconsistent from cook to cook. I can see why someone might like one for the simplicity of it but I can get my BGE up to temp in the same time or quicker with a few extra steps but I'll take the few extra steps for better end results.

    I don't think it would be fair to say that this pellet smoker does what every other pellet smoker does and that they are an inferior product. Every grill has their strengths and weaknesses. I do think Camp Chef did a killer job on creating a compact pellet grill that folds up with a handle and wheels. The buyer who bought it wanted it for his camper when camping. So it was a perfect fit for him and he was coming from a slightly bigger pellet smoker he had at home. So it was a win/win. 

    The more grills and smokers I play around with the more I realize the BGE is pretty much the gold standard on simplicity and clean up. We are pretty damn spoiled with those two aspects of grilling/smoking.

    So refreshing to not see the sticky Happy Holidays at the top of page, thanks @HannahGreeneEgg.

    It would have been relevant again in the near future. 
    Yep!  I decided yesterday to just keep my stocking hat and gloves in the center console....no use putting them away now!
    My wool stocking hat is still in my car since last year.
    we just passed the halfway point between "put up Christmas" and "take down Christmas".  Boxes did not make it into the attic. At this point they won't...

    We had a rainstorm this morning; Roy, 1 mile west, 1", Ogden, 1 mile north, 4"!  My trash can was 3 houses down, and the rock boulevard at that house was half washed away.  
    I've seen the street in front of my house flood like that 3 times in the last 30 years, and it's always on Trash Day.   :|

    Fun lawyery stuff - they seem harder to nail down than a hunk of jello.

    Yep I remember getting told in court that I didn’t have the expertise to understand a particular sentence in a contract. One written in clear 6th grade level English. That basically said you can’t do A until you have done all of B. Not particularly happy with that lawyer or judge. I made my dissatisfaction clear to the partners in that law firm. All he had to do was ask for a conference so I could tell him what question to ask me.

    Oh, and poop.  I left my Small out on the patio as I still had burgers left to grill, and my Javelin Pro Duo thermometer was stuck magnetically to the Nest, and it got a thorough drenching.
    A.  At least it wasn't my ThermaPen, which resides in the kitchen,
    B.  There was no condensation in the display, and
    C.  It fired right up when I swung the needle out.  So, kudos and 25 BotchPoints™ to Javelin, with whom I have no financial interests.
