No, no secrets. It just turned out that way. It was so good I was grabbing it and stuffing it in by the hand-full, couldn't wait to slice it!

It was, very delicious!

Oh, I almost forgot- I saw a girl in a car.

A meatloaf I made, long, long ago- I got to Pittsburgh Sunday night and the gate was closed where I was delivering, so I had to park on the street. I wanted to get over off the street just a little bit more, and I did not see this cut off sign pole and ran over it. It did not turn out well. How to not chain down a load of coils- How to chain down a load of coils- I saw some barges in the river- I could even see the barge driver- Couple of drivers going to their trucks in Wisconsin.

I used to drive a Peterbilt. Great looking truck... ...but it did stay at Carter Cat as much as it stayed on the road.

Luke, Maryland. I hauled pulp wood there, and every time the guy at the scales would warn you not to turn on rt. 135 by mistake, because you'd have to come back down the mountain, and yep a 90 degree turn at the bottom. You went past rt. 135 to get to the scales, it turned off to the left. Then when you left the scales you made a U-turn to go back to the paper mill, and turned right into the mill, but sometimes people would turn right on 135 before they got to the paper mill.

Yep.

That first trip there was a great story.

Get well soon Mike, i'll be praying for you also- couldn't hurt, right? And wow, how about that employer?..what a way to treat a hard working and dedicated employee. Those bastards!

Big pond that you have to drive through to get to the outbound scales at Gerdau in Petersburg. I had to drive around this day because so many people were fishing. They were biting good that day though.Big machine in Baltimore. It was at a coal pile. I was a long ways away from it, picking up some of those aluminum logs.I saw a big ship in Baltimore too.And a smaller ship.And two still smaller ships...I took this electric powered fork lift back to Milwaukee. A company from Rustburg rented it because they needed an electric unit for a job, and that was the only place they could rent one that big. It would lift 30-35,000 lbs. they said.Which is as much as the big red one at the yard will lift.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday Bob!

I know people who have worked for Walmart, in fact my two sons both worked at different Walmarts at different times, and I don't think i've ever heard anybody that worked there have anything good to say about it.

that could be why they have 25 registers and only 4 are open when I go to the Walmart store on Saturday.

Well said, I agree. I've followed their directions on everything i've cooked instead of using any of my own tried and true ideas from using my offset smoker, and everything has been fantastic.

Most excellent, i've even cooked beef brisket in it that came out tender and delicious, something i'd never been able to accomplish before. Everything i've cooked in it came out good.

I thought about going for a ride- briefly- but both tires are flat on the Huffy.

nope, just my charming personality

I like this one too.

The winter that never ends- we had substantial snow before Christmas last year, and it's still snowing in April. I bought a bird feeder for entertainment, already got birds enjoying it. The big peach. The big mug of beer. The big rack of ribs. Yum... A big Mack- oh, I posted this one last time, never mind.

She sampled some Pit Barrel ribs this weekend, but I told her that your food was much, much, better than mine so she'll be looking forward to it.

I've been doing many new and exciting things. A while back I noticed that I had a squeeze bottle of spicy brown mustard in the refrigerator that was about half full, and a larger bottle of regular yellow mustard that was only part full. So I mixed them. And just today I poured the last of the pineapple juice in with the orange juice to save space. Very delicious too.

Looks great!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday Vlad!
