Louisiana Grill Vertical pellet smoker. I love this thing. The olives are a great contrasting flavor to the bison.

 

evening all

 

Hi Sue

 

Evening Dewayne

 

Hello-hello.

 

Evening Everyone !!!!

Well so much for going to the local Friday evening car show in the Camaro !!!! . On my way there about a mile from my house a large oil leak ruined the Evening

So I headed back home with a trail of oil following me home !!!!!

 

not good who is your mechanic,LOL

 

Luckily it wasn't engine oil , it was power steering return line that sprayed oil all over the header

Yep right now arguing with that person ..........................









Me !!!!

 

Well after being back to to work for 1 week I think being at home recovering from surgery and being in pain is better.

Almost yellow label time.

.

 

Good Evening All!

I've been spending some good time with my son.

I know this is not typical for most my age but, He's 13. Most of y'all have grand kids by now. I probably should too. My wife and I just started late.

Well... My son and I had a deal to bring up his grades in school. He did well and the deal was that I would build a gaming PC, with specific, grade dependent components. We just finished his build and he is excited.

​

Yeah... That's what I do. Did I mention that I am in IT?

 

Nothing a bottle of Gunk engine degreaser cant handle !!!!!!

 

@US Marine

So! When are you going to post the ROAR of the new Camaro engine?

 

I was going to do that today but I had a power steering hose fail so now I've got to repair that then clean my engine


I think I might just pull the power steering off and go back to Armstrong steering LOL !!!!

 

Yeah long before. All you can eat catfish and seafood for $5 a person on Styrofoam plates with plastic silverware. With hush puppies. Moved up here and my oldest was about 12 and went to Long John Silver when they were still here. We all noticed hush puppies on the menu so we all ordered them. The oldest took one bite and yelled in a Southern accent these are NOT hush puppies! Everyone stopped and stared for at least a minute. It was a defining moment in my life LOL.

Yeah not classic rock but close enough! I like some meat on the bones myself 19 stones is pushing the upper limit myself LOL. On the other hand long hair does wonders it gives me something to grab on to. Have had a few say the same thing to me...

Back in the early 80's was a Leading Petty Officer in a middle rack and heard music from a Walkman from the new Boot in the lower rack below me. He had to trice his rack up in the morning and was a Rickie Recruit. Music was awesome and I reached down and pulled his beat off curtains back and said who the hell is that?! He was shaking and said Def Leppard Sir. Told him he called me Sir again I would have to beat his ass but his taste in music was impeccable. That is about the end of Classic Rock to me.

Personally I think you should post pictures of the rest of your back yard. It is something I can only WISH I had for grilling and cooking... Spent more than a few more years in Southern California and have no desire to go back. Except the weather. You have taken advantage of it and done exceptionally well IMO.

My father died of esophagus cancer it is why I am where I am. Got the call from a head hunter soon after and figured that I am not smart enough to cure it but could help support those that can and in the end it was worth it. Ideological ideas are great, real world not so much and ended up moving from research to clinical. You and your wife are not going through the same however remember well when my father had his esophagus cut and extended from his stomach to his throat. We have come a long a long ways since then. Best to both you and your wife!

First programming language in college was APL in 76, A Programming Language. Damn programmers. I get it stable and they break it. Every time. Change management is NOT optional either. But playing computer games with your sons? Priceless..

 

I'm sorry to hear your dad went out like that.

As for the back yard we are really happy about how it is turning out. We enjoy it daily and friends and family are impressed of the view and the good stuff we like to cook for them when they are over.

The star of the show is the Santa Maria pit BBQ. There is nothing like a wood cooked meal.



We had a lot of flagstone installed and the lawn still looks great after a year. I installed this grape trellis 6 months ago.



Today it is holding up two nicely growing Flame seedless grape vines.



The view from last year. I need to take n updated shot.





Rema's sanctuary.



and mine.



Another 18 year old grapevine above the spa.



Lots of flowers.



Fruit and citrus trees.

 

And now the front matches the back.
