Happy Birthday Doug. I will listen to some Mike Oldfield in your honor today.

RIP Mr. Scruggs.

Pork chops with Chicago Spice House Back of the Yards Butcher's spice rub with fingerling potatoes and brussel sprouts in a whiskey maple syrup sauce. All prepped on the grill. It were tasty.

Twin sluts for KBS here roomie, and yeah, the HH we had at Bryan's was most excellent.

Shit BAR screwed Jacques Villeneuve's career right into the ground. One of the worst decisions ever.

Mikey, are you caught up on races yet?

West Coast team - we need your help!

Nice Steve. Waking up from a brief nap on a very lazy Saturday made me smile today.

Happy Birthday!!

Al, forget work for the day and spend some quality time with your family, and have some good food and good drink. Happy Birthday my friend!!!

Reporting back on the Father's bacon. I ordered the hickory smoked and the smoke aroma is very strong but not overpowering when eating it. It has a wonderful smoky flavour. It is however way too salty for both of us. When eating it alone with eggs the salt was overpowering. However, in a bacon sarnie, the salt is offset by the HP sauce and it was quite enjoyable. We plan to soak the bacon prior to frying the next time we want to eat it solo to remove some of the excess salt. Overall, good bacon, just be prepared for the salt if that is not your thing.

Had an excellent hot pastrami at Tribes Ale House.

Happy Birthday youngster!!

Now I'm really sad I couldn't make it to Tampa. Happy Birthday Fitz. Enjoy your day. Anytime you want to return to Chicago let me know.

Cool.

^^^ Actually, sardines was due to auto-correct. I meant bacon sarnies.

I'll report on the Father's after we get it this week. We'll be doing a breakfast for dinner night when it arrives, and probably bacon sarnies for the first F1 race next weekend.

Just ordered 4 pounds of hickory smoked bacon from Father's in Kentucky.

Debbie will most likely be selling her Gen 1 John. Let me know if you're interested.

My bar will need to be much more fully stocked before I can get the game ready.

Got the new art framed and hung:

Still fighting some kind of bronchial illness. Can't seem to shake this. Mostly what I've done for 3 days is sleep. Urggghhh.

Happy Birthday Nate!
