My New Grill/Smoker

 Friday when payday came around, he felt the need to get us a new Kingsford Charcoal Grill/Smoker.  Instead of being smart and buying one already put together, he reaches over and picks up one in a box.  As you can tell it was the wrong decision to make. 

Well, he finally took my advice to heart and read the instructions.  Really this was after he had already put the wrong size screw in a hole and got it stuck.  

 

Men can be so hard headed when they think they know how everything is done.   

 

Needless to say, the grill got the best of him today, and it will be tomorrow or the next day before it gets finished.  All the Dewalt's in the world can't help, when a man knows it all!

What Rain?

The skies got dark, yesterday and the wind did it's best to blow it down to us.  But our area still didn't get any rain.  Only a tease and that's not funny considering we were almost washed away back in May of this year.  This is twice in the last week that we've had a good chance for rain and when it did come, it only last a few minutes.  It didn't even make the ground soft and there's so many cracks that need to be filled.  I swear, it's either "feast or famine"!

A Cloud?

Is that clouds I see up in the Northeastern skies?  I had to run down town for a few things and on the way back I noticed some clouds up towards the north of town.  Wow, what a nice feeling to see some clouds.  It gives us hope of a chance of rain, which is badly needed in the middle of August.  The ground is so cracked and dry.  I hear that the lake levels are dropping as well.  Not good, after all that rain we had in May!
