Good morning!!!!

NC Bar B Que is my favorite especially Eastern NC style...great places from Durham to Wilson to Greenville...spicy vinegar sauce...not sweet.

It's really funny about BBQ. Everyone has a different variety or variation of the same variety that they prefer but it's versatile enough that many, many people like it. And sauce or no sauce adds a whole new dimension.

At my all time favorite BBQ place I actually put their sauce on everything. Potato salad, coleslaw, brisket, everything on the plate. Then other places I only put a little sauce or none at all and usually only order meat and bread, pickles and peppers.

The rain is really creating problems in Houston. Some are saying its as bad as it was during Hurricane Harvey.

Good Morning,

Buppies, I'm with you...NC Bar B Que is my favorite especially Eastern NC style...great places from Durham to Wilson to Greenville...spicy vinegar sauce...not sweet.

Wngsprd, when we were driving from Plant City to Bradenton airport, I think I spotted a Mission Barbecue sign ! I wanted to stop but we were on a bit of a schedule! I love barbecue also, I would have loved to try theirs !

Have a great day !

Yes. We are already experiencing very high humidity in East Texas. That is why I like to be west of the 98th meridian (west of I35) in the summer, most of the time.

Morning all, 51 going to 58 and rain.
Cinco De Mayo today.
Also, last frost chance according to local farm stores.

Did not go to brewfest or the derby party. Did not feel well after breakfast. Still not feeling well. Wife went to brewfest and son and friend stayed at our friends house and later derby party.

Did get last sanding and paint on ceiling. If I feel up to it, will clean up the garage and put everything back and count that little project done.

Still need to plant peach tree, not showing much growth yet :-(

I remember having some bbq along the NC border , way out there somewhere.
It was a classic hole in the wall, filled with locals and formica tables. They had quail and a lot of other items that were unusual. When I asked the waitress about that, she told me each item, which farm in the area it came from, and a few funny stories about a few of the farmers. These big farm to table restaurants were late to the game from these humble and delicious beginnings. I used to like KC style best. Hope I can someday eat bbq again.

Sodamo - glad the eye procedure went without complications.

Phil - really cool cauldron !

Be well,

71 and cloudy @ 12:15, heading up to around 73F for the day's high. Sun was trying to peek through just a bit ago. WU says thunderstorms likely today, some with strong gusty winds. Looks like most of the rain has moved east though.

Not much motivation yesterday so mostly a "conserve energy" day ...

I did manage to at least get another 10 broccoli potted ...

Also installed the new LED bulbs in the 2 Mag-Lites, cleaned focusing heads and lubed the o-rings with some silicone grease. Huge difference in the light output.

Woman was kind of hot to trot to go try out Her new saw but the rain put the kobash on that. Maybe today.

We ended up getting Little Caesars for dinner, She tried the Crazy Puffs.

She did end up going in to catch the tail end of the Rubber Ducks game and the fireworks last night with Her neighbor lady friend.

They were kind of late getting back, come to find out they were involved in a car crash on the way home. Two aggressive drivers = a bad mix. Thankfully no one was hurt.

Not sure what we'll get up to today, no shortage of possibilities though:

A few broccoli to finish up getting potted.

Still have all the cabbage (36) to do.

Many of the 2nd batch of tomato seedings are ready to pot, also beets.

I'm guessing there are more peppers that are ready as well.

But I'll need to make up more potting mix to do much of that.

Plus whatever else comes up ...

Today is The Woman's birthday. Not sure if She will have any interest in doing anything to "celebrate". Wished Her a Happy Birthday this morning when I got up ... and immediately got "the look" ...



Hope everyone is having a decent Sunday ...

65°F and .84 inches rain.

Did get rest of area mowed yesterday, but looks terrible being so wet, but figure that was better than letting it grow.

Looking very doubtful mowing another area today.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
