Anyhow, speaking of weather it looks like we're switching from heater to AC pretty quick around here.

I asked the seller man what kind of oil he used and that's what he said. He's also a truck owner, as in A model Kenworth.

Zina bought this pickup truck she wanted, a 1955 Ford F100. I changed the oil in it shortly after we got it because the man we bought it from said he was going to, but never got around to it. I know how that goes!..anyhow, I put Motorcraft 5W-30 synthetic blend oil in it. It was not cheap oil. Then I read on an F100 group I'm in, or maybe it was the 351-400M group I'm in, that you should use conventional oil with a high zinc content in these engines, either 10W-30 or 10W-40. So maybe I was overthinking things, but I changed the oil again and put 10W-30 Castrol conventional oil in it and a bottle of this- Better safe than sorry I guess.

I think the ribs are done but I brought them in and put them in the oven anyway. I serve no swine before it's time. Zina tried some and said they were delicious. I'm still drinking a delicious cold Miller Lite and watching the exciting motion picture, called "Fall".

...as the late, great, Glenn Frey said "I'm already gone".

I just turned the pieces over- looking pretty good so far. I keep the barrel in the shed so I use it on the opposite side of the fence from everything else. That's some high tech equipment there.

Well whaddya know!

Yes, that is but a distant memory...I think. I remember last year I found one that I had squirreled away somewhere and forgot about.

In response to all those cards, letters, and phone calls I've been getting about those ribs, I just put them on the smoker. Or in the smoker, whichever you prefer. I used the pit barrel cooker so I could hang 2 racks and put those ugly pieces on the grill. It's a very handy smoker. I cut the one rack up because I watched a Myron Mixon video and wanted to try a marinade he used on a pork loin. He said he first used it in ribs though, so I cut one up so they would fit in a plastic bowl. I marinated it almost 24 hours in a mixture of orange juice, ginger ale, and salt. I had all the ingredients so I figured I'd give it a try. Might suck, might be great.

Happy birthday!

Well...I guess I will too then.

I took 3 racks of ribs out of the freezer yesterday. It's supposed to be really nice weather tomorrow so they're going on the smoker.

I have to admit that just like the cottage cheese I've never tried it. And to be honest I'm not even sure what it is 🤣
