That should be enough for some fuel AND a hotdog and a Pepsi!

Here's the latest on the big green truck that didn't run. I discovered a pretty big hole rusted through the gas tank on the driver's side, partly hidden under a thick coating of bondo. So I decided to paint the tank that I took off the passenger side when I put the new tank on, and put it on the driver's side. Turned out it was a bit smaller than the rusted out tank, so I put a couple of pieces of 2x6 under it so the straps would tighten. As you can see I painted over the lettering on the doors with some Hunter Green Rust-Oleum, it matched up pretty good. Then I thought if the fenders were a little lighter shade of green, that would look pretty good. So I went to the Walmart store and bought some Spring Green Rust-Oleum and sprayed the fenders too. I thought it looked great. Then I thought the stripe should be black instead of silver, so I painted that too. This morning I rubbed a little ceramic type polish on that dull paint, got the side and around the corner- you can see where I stopped just to the left of the rear window. Then I found a girl in a car in Winfall, just hanging out of the window.

Well, the final results are in- I should have waited and cooked that steak yesterday. I cooked it on Friday because Zina was supposed to get off an hour early. She ended up having to work an hour over, so the steak was overcooked. I cooked it to 140 degrees and took it off the grill, but it stayed wrapped in the Reynolds wrap for an hour. It was still good though, I would definitely do another one.

So, I cooked that cowboy steak today. I haven't bladed it yet, but it looks great. I put it in the center of the grill with charcoal at each end. I let it cook over indirect heat until it got to 135 degrees, then I put it on the little round grill over red hot charcoal for 2 minutes on each side to sear it. Then I put it on a plate and covered it with aluminum foil.

Speaking of cooking, I always wanted to try one of those cowboy steaks but never have. But Zina picked us up one in Lynchburg the other day, has anybody ever cooked one?..any tips or advice?

Happy birthday!

There's so many questions that we'll probably never know the answers to here. I saw a post on Facebook- not just some person's post, but a link to some news outlet. And the secret service agent on another roof with the sniper rifle, (there were 2 agents on the roof, I'm sure most everybody has seen that picture on the news), said that he told his superiors that he had the shooter in his sights and had a clear shot. This was before the shooter had ever fired a shot. And they told him not to take it, to do nothing. Then after the shooter fired the agent took it upon himself to shoot him and killed him. He said he already lost his job because of it. Now whether ANY of this is true or not I have no idea, I only saw this that one time, and have not been able to find that post again, nor have I seen any other story anywhere confirming it. But if every bit of it is true it would not surprise me at all.

I felt kind of bad that I didn't really get to hang out with Bob at Macungie as much as I would have liked to, but on the other hand if I had and he had gotten as sick as I was I would have felt terrible.
