Saturday, sorry, not today, I made two large racks of ribs on my outdoor grille. NOW, Saturday it rained all day, off and on, but basically all fucking day.

I cleared out an area just under the eve of my garage where I could drag my grille inside to tend it while it was raining, then set it back outside all covered up and smoking like a grille from hell (I used oak this time, lots of flavorful smoke!).

I made it work!
I still spotted four people who were driving by in the rain looking at me and turning their hands up and shrugging as if to say, "WTF, Dumbass? It's raining!"

All those "wide eyed looks" only amused me. I made RIBS!!  We had a feast.

left my hammertone mug open without  the lid in the kitchen for an hour while i was distracted with other things. when i came back the ice had melted only a little. iced tea is really cold in it.
new favorite mug. might buy the 64 oz insulated growler to replace the bubba keg that smells funny now.

Started out badly found nothing at any of the sales I went to but then stopped at one on my way home and hit the jackpot.  Bought two breaker bars, four vises, two kerosene blower heaters, a small drill press and a weird old nut cracker for $30. One of the vises is a Parker which will sell for between $60-80

not fried or dehydrated today.
it's 32C and it's only 330pm. might get to 33. Weather report says it feels like 35. Supposed to be a dip in the temperature around 5; that's when I'll go home and start work on my baby swampy. air conditioner prices range from $369 to $1,000CDN and that's more than i want to pay for something i might end up abandoning or donating.

or maybe i'll just invent something new.

Donated blood.  Got a coupon for a free pint of ice cream (Baskin-Robbins) and a T-shirt in my size for a change.
