Work travlz
Another day of travel… this time to far away Cooperstown, NY. I’ve been here many times and in every season- today, though, the weather is beautiful.
I’ll post up a picture or two tomorrow.
Smoky Treat!
Spent last night smoking an 8.5lb shoulder… went in at midnight, came out at 3:30pm. It’s delicious, but here’s some tips to avoid frustration-
#1. Don’t fall asleep for too long. Sounds obvious, but if you conk out for 3 hours, so do the coals. Go ahead and add 3 hours to your cook time.
#2. All lump charcoal is not created equal. The Crapford lump I used was crap… it didn’t burn well- uneven and cold. Didn’t help that it had been damp outside where it’s stored.
Anyway- cheers!
So there’s a good series of articles at the big picture blog on the Q2 GDP numbers. The graph above is adjusted for import/export and is pretty telling.
Egads
I’m not sure when exactly it happened, but I’ve somehow fallen behind- at work, at play and at home. I’ve got a lot of work to get done, so perhaps this is the best test of my will to put some effort into any kind of blog. Can I do it?
Sweet double rainbow that showed up at dinner time!
Kalispell, MT 27-Aug-08.
Rolling in Montana
I logged 400 miles today driving from Kalispell to Ronan, back to Kalispell then on to Cut Bank and back to Kalispell. After all that driving, I can say Glacier National Park is a treasure. Even with heavy cloud cover, the park was one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in a long time.
