This & That...

Finally got to grill something...

I cut the grass (or what's left of it) and decided to throw a few steaks on the barbie. It's way to hot to be fooling with charcoal so the Weber gas grill came to life.

Today, I will bring out the charcoal and fire up R2D2 to smoke some chicken wings. I can set it up and retreat back inside to the comfort of cool air while R2D2 does its thing.

I like this WSM...

It rained a little this morning, only enough to piss off the grass, so it should be nice and muggy by mid-day. Oh for joy...

Over twenty straight days of mid to upper 90's with heat indices (feels like) 105.

Pop up storms that last about a minute, or down pours that last about 5 minutes.

Last week, coming home from work, I hit a down pour on the interstate with some heavy duty lightning strikes on both sides of the road. I could barely see the front of the truck it was raining so hard. Of course, Mr. Sunshine was out at my house.

People started calling, "are you guys OK?" Well sure we are...why?

Tornado Warning:

Come to find out I had a small tornado about 10 miles behind me on the interstate. I was driving in the wall front of that storm. I had passed the cloud earlier and it was black as black can be...

I didn't think much about it. Only thinking, somebody is fixing to get one hell of a rain. It damaged 12 houses...

No one was hurt...and I was blessed to make it home in one piece.

Thank you Lord...
