[Freightrain]

I spent my weekend making toothpicks out of thirty 60ft trusses that friend couldn't use for his new garage.  He ordered them 5 yrs ago, been tarped, but many were junk and new builder has his own lumber coming.

 

Real expensive toothpicks .....

Ah, everything cooked to golden black 

Perfect, nothing like a bit of charcoal to keep the insides regular 

I get the same report from my wife and family friends when were having a get together

hopefully ALL those reading won't let work over take your life as I did. 24=36 hrs no sleep for 15===+ yrs. only to end up on operating table having "power plant " removed and repaired . waking up with a red pillow handed to you with statement of "If you feel a sneeze coming grip the pillow tight as a SOB , " if not = sorry. no . care of time, Family is first.

Bbq is about cooking food just right then having one more beer while it over cooks.  At least for me

[mowerman]

thats probably just what happens,especially if you havent had enough waiting for the coals to cooperate,,,lol thanks for that
