The Coffee House

Gary thinks that all of use need a wake up call not only to take care of our bodies but our minds as well.

I read the article in full, and saw nothing but a dreadful disease to get angry over. Found it interesting that the disease is there 20 years before you become symptomatic, and that by age 40, women's brains start to age at a more rapid rate then men. From my own personal experience I believe that daily "mental exercise" plays a part in how rapidly our mental prowess declines. After I retired it wasn't long before I could tell the memory was getting worse. Maybe the use or lose it applies. Have had a couple of family members with Alzheimer, and it isn't a pretty picture.

Once again, I never said I was angry about the article itself.

I think I'm going to break the grill in by smoking about 12 pounds of cow. Of course, I've never done this before, but as the kids say, YOLO.

I'm off to find Gary's iGrill (because I want it today, not next week sometime), some charcoal, and some brisket.

Hate to see you ruin dinner. I was about to send you a PM on this.

Pick up one of these as well. Generic ones work fine too. No lighter fluid. Food tastes much better.

Some times you just have to shake your head, because there really isn't an explanation. On the news this afternoon.

Good night y'all and have a wonderful Saturday. I will be at work until at least 9am. And while the weather will be nice to drive down south of Cleveland to the flea market that has been very good to me I can't afford to do it. So anybody that goes out and buys anything tomorrow is my idol.

@Jon: Gary has found that a plan, ol', everyday, Home Depot type, heat gun works great. They are relatively inexpensive, they work, they're tasteless and they don't break. The expensive looftlighter type firestarters are great, but they only last for a dozen or so starts. Gary's been using his Porter-Cable heat gun for a couple of years and you know how much Gary BBQ's. As a bonus, if you ever have to remove some paint, you're good.

I have two of the harbor freight ones...I'll have to give that a shot tomorrow.

Talk to Maria Shriver. Gary had no idea that it was a 2:1 split on Alzheimer's ... Gary thinks that the same deliver could also be used for men. Gary thinks that all of us need a wake up call not only to take care of our bodies but our minds as well.

Seen something similar. A couple we're friends with, the woman had a mild stroke a couple years ago. Her doctor had her doing various brain teasers on her tablet.

4 hours today. If people wouldn't come in with mud and dirt on their shoes the floor would stay looking good. Oh well off until Monday.

With @Gary A. and @RowdyRay 's tips to help, my first brisket was quite edible today. It took me a little while to dial in the smoker temps, but I only burned half the fuel I loaded in the 8 or so hours I had the smoker running. I think a little less salt and a little less cayenne in the rub, and perhaps a tighter wrap during the crutch next time. I'll be roasting a chicken tomorrow...that's much more within my comfort level.


I've been really down on photography stuff (well, and a lot of other things too ) recently, and way more anxious about things than I should be. It's been a year since I found out I'd been laid off (with my wife pregnant and the like). I haven't really been right since, and I'm just now figuring it out. I'm supposed to find out my teaching assignment for next year on Monday, and I've been freaking out about it, even though I don't care where I teach. I feel like the rug is just going to be pulled out from underneath me. For the first time in my life, I've realized that I don't have to fight through the stuff I'm feeling alone. My wife has been really supportive, and I'm calling for additional help on Monday.

As part of that, I'm sad that I'm not taking as many photos of Jack as I did of Tegan, but I just haven't felt like it. Thank god for my wife and her cell phone. Here are a few from the last couple weeks that I've finally gotten around to editing. Maybe more will come soon.

You hang in there, punkin.

As for Jack, especially in pic #3, he's lucky I don't eat him.
