I like it better when I can blame someone else for my lack of launch. I can say "those damn yard guys" instead of admitting that I cannot work faster or more efficiently. Ya learn patience in these such difficult endeavors. Mostly it's the concurrence of the eddies of chance that dictates the culmination of such struggles. Manipulating those eddies together and channeling them in a general direction creates a boat that can confront its own eddies. Today it snowed a few inches ( a few centimometers in metric). I'll be heading back this week. Somebody tell Robbie.
And thanx to Ken, ATW, augur, and wise sage, who predicts that I will launch in 2019. It is uncanny how he can divine such prophecies from the casting of bones, the reading of runes and the perusal of websites. I am impressed yet sceptical.
I've been dutifully writing this blog now for over 5 years. The thing about writers (and Comedians) is that their work has the half life of Copernicum-285. It deteriorates at an amazing rate and you must produce more. Unlike Copernicum, there is no unique formula to produce a finished product. There is no specific number of protons and electrons to assemble for the work. You must create anew each production from the deep well of your imagination. Each time I start a new post I wonder if that well dried up and there is no more. Somehow I cobble something together. Luckily the well wasn't deep from the beginning. If you're lucky, it will dry up sooner.

'S no fun.
Yes this is poet John Keats' tombstone. I've posted it before. Only a portion of my name will have been writ in water. Some say you should leave your mark, something that cannot be removed by rubbing it with a little club soda.
Ben Smoked a brisket Texas style. Yes he used the Texas Crutch. We modified and improved the smoker. We added two braces to support the fire box, which sagged a bit in the center. We added fire brick to the floors of both boxes. We got a better pan for moisture. We added a heat deflector to the smoke box. We painted everything with heat resistant paint. We got a better thermometer to use (the door gauge was pretty much useless). The result: perfect brisket in only 18+ hours! I always say buy a good quality product, modify it, and you have something that works well.
If you have 20 minutes or so to spare, otherwise ignore it. Hey it's only got pictures of girls to entice you.
