Parked the truck at the south Lynchburg truckstop Friday because I've got to load in Lynchburg in the morning. That saves some time and miles not having to go all the way to Concord to get it, besides that the yard in Concord is so small it's hard to even find somewhere to park on weekends. That's where I usually park it on weekends, at the truckstop. Plenty of room, never a problem finding a parking spot. I even park way down in the corner farthest from the truckstop, out of everybody's way and nobody ever said a word. Well, dispatcher Neal called me this morning and said somebody called him yesterday from the truckstop and said the truck needed to be moved by this afternoon or it would be towed. He said he forgot to call me yesterday- good thing too, I was cooking a pork loin. Anyway, I said something like "WTF?!! It IS a truckstop, why can't you park a truck there?". He said he didn't know, they just wanted it moved. Maybe they didn't like it being parked there over the weekend because I wasn't spending money there, but I did get fuel there occasionally. Over 200 gallons week before last, and went in the store a lot to get drinks, snacks, and what-not. I just don't know- When I went up there to get it a little while ago it was down in the corner all by itself-the nearest truck to it was about 50 yards away and there was room to park about 50 more trucks in that truckstop. I moved it down here behind the store. Didn't go in and ask what the problem was. If they go out of business because I don't buy any more fuel, drinks, or snacks from them-good! They can kiss my a**.

I'm still gonna order one of these.

oh yeah, Egypt- haven't heard that expression in a while.

where's the pictures Doug?. If I coulda went i'd have appointed myself the official picture taker guy, a.k.a. photographer.

BFE? I'm gonna have to get a code book.

sounds like a porn flick.

it was good! this process took several hours-the cooler was full when I started and it's empty now-that's how you tell when it's done. I had some fairly green oak blocks and split them up and put it on the charcoal for more smoke. It was probably 90% done when I put the bbq sauce on it and wrapped it up.

too much information!-shoulda googled it at first.

the main ingredient?..naw,that don't make no sense...how about the Milwaukee influence?

damn!-it took me a long time to do that too!...wait a few years,and a few pounds-you'll switch!

It is done...I didn't cook a boston butt, I went with the pork tenderloin instead-I guess we know who's boss now! Here's the cooking process- seared on both sides... lizard watching... ready to turn... smother with BBQ sauce and wrap it tightly... keep cold beverages handy-it's hot out there! foil looks golden brown-it's done! let it rest... slice it up... great googly-moogly!..it's delicious!

...the mindless idiots...the magnificent Illinois citizens...the moronic individual...the massive infection...the man of iron-no,that's steel...never mind.

Gee...I'm almost as old as Rob and I don't know...what's Nikki's phone number? There could be lot's of Jack Link's in her future if she tells me this...

.

hmmmmm....sounds like that pretty much covers everything to me.

What?..after you bought her a big bag of Jack Link's jerky treats?..that's so disrespectful!..you should take her to the woodshed!..by the way, what does it stand for?..I have no idea-The Mickow Institute? The Mighty Insects?..The Miserable Idiots?

I flat spotted 18 tires gettin' stopped, in a big cloud of smoke.

I...ummm...uhhh...sorry-can't help you with that.

how should I know?..she's your friend,I never seen her before.She told me you took the picture...oops! looks like that might be just body paint she's wearing-did you paint her too?

sorry Mike- you lost 2 points for beggin', now you're in the hole a point.

old picture

I guess I gotta cook a boston butt today. I had a picture of snow covered rt. 20 in West Va. as my background picture, but Jo changed it to a Peterbilt sitting at the fuel pump for some reason, so I changed it to the smoking boston butts and she said it made her hungry and wants me to smoke one today...like she tells me what to do! Well, gotta go to the grocery store and get a boston butt-mine's frozen. I must be off.

I tried to fix mine with some scrap 4x4's, used shingles, and some gutters from Lowes. I quickly realized i'd bitten off far more than I could chew and it just never looked exactly right, so I just decided to sell the truck.
