I consider it a delightful suprise. I do not get many unexpected emails ever since I began ruthlessly applying blocks, spam filters and unsubscribing so yours, no matter how erroneous are welcome.

From four hours drinking beer on the deck waiting on chicken to beating procrastination is some real narrative whiplash.

It’s Monday morning and all I want to do is procrastinate with chicken and beer.

The BGE can be demanding. Lots of ways to mess up. I now smoke with a pellet grill/smoker and get fantastic results. Still keep my BGE for sentimental reasons but not worth the hassle.

Keep writing!!! Love your stuff. Re-reading some of it now!
