Met Kerry today. He was nearby, meeting with his Sister I believe. He came to Doug's to visit with us. As nice as I expected, but much funnier than I had realized! This has already been a great trip!

Very glad I could meet you as well Steve. As always, nice to see Doug too. I got a walkthrough of the work in the house. Doug is taking the same level of care he gives to each of his amps and applying it to his house makeover. Very impressive! A very fun little visit for me

Delivered today. Now I have a pellet popper at home. First cook? Chicken Cordon Bleu.

Did a final walkthrough of the apartment Julie and I are purchasing. No damage from Irma. Everything is a go for closing tomorrow.

Project Cars 2 is live and a new season of HC race nights starts anew. Any/everyone is welcome to join!

Working on sides while the brisket rests.

I wish these guys would work on my car's paint:

RIP Petrov - the man whose calm action saved us all from Armageddon. Another cold war movie worth watching is By Dawn's Early Light.

I like your choice of food pairings, sir.

Tri-tip with, uh, some more tri-tip.

Had dinner and great conversation with Doug, Todd and Nate tonight! So thankful that they made the drive down. Humbled by that gesture! Such a fun evening, and it doesn't get much better than this. Great friends and great food have become so important in my life! In honor of Stretch, I had pork belly for the first time tonight. Thanks again guys!

I'm not grilling anything at the moment, but I did clean my Genesis inside and out. When the grease and grime below grilling surface started catching on fire, I figured it was time. The Genesis makes it very easy to take out all the parts and scrape/wash them down that I really should not wait so long.

Nice! I prepped a brisket for the smoker tomorrow. Still no magic pink paper (lack of planning -10pts) but still should be "decent".

Apparently we're fostering a pupper until we can find her a human.

I think you nailed it. The movies completely ommited any human struggle other than him taking 2 seconds to get over the latest woman he was screwing before shooting another dozen bad guys while making a joke. I definitely enjoyed the books more. I never read, The Spy Who Loved Me.
