It should work great and last pretty near forever.

The Pit Barrel Cookers were on sale for $100 off, I got an e-mail from them, but I don't know if they still are. But I can only say good things about them, they're great! And they don't pay me to say that by the way. They really do work great though, and they're so easy to use. They're so easy- well, they're so easy even 1958FWD could probably run one without screwing anything up. They make a bigger one now, probably a full size 55 gallon drum. The one I have is smaller, but I don't remember the size. But like I said, it holds a whole turkey, or 8 racks of ribs, so it's plenty big for me. The new bigger unit has 3 rods in it instead of 2, so if you're cooking for a crowd.... They would be pretty easy to make too.

I saw that a couple of times, I liked to watch Highway Thru Hell on the weather channel too. We cancelled Dish Network or DirecTV, whichever one we had, because it got so expensive and got a smart TV, or Roku, or whatever you call it. It's pretty good though, still get lots of good channels. Probably can still get The Weather Network but I'd have to get Zina from Gladys to find it. I only watch the same 3 or 4 channels all the time.

That is very true, democrats do whatever they want without fear of repercussions.

Yes, it's fine- I will even send you a souvenir rock from where I fell for only $19.95, plus $38.95 for shipping and handling.

Just a follow-up. Pretty amazing how this has healed in a week. It's hardly even noticable now.

I'll tell you another good "store bought" pie- I like sweet potato pie, and when we were at Vicki from Florida's during Thanksgiving she bought a Patti LaBelle sweet potato pie and it was delicious, tasted very similar to the ones I make. I started making them years ago because you couldn't find a sweet potato pie. Everybody had pumpkin pie though, and I'd just as soon have a turnip and asparagus pie as pumpkin.

I do like cherry pie. 😊 But I don't eat much pie either, they're loaded with sugar. At the same store I got the strawberry rhubarb pie they have lemon chess all the time and they're just like the ones my mother used to make so I'll pick one up every once in a great while. They have them on the shelves so you're looking at them as soon as you walk in the door and they're hard to resist. I think the Mennonites make them and the store sells them for them. They have all different kinds of pie, but I always go for the lemon chess.

Yes, the one on the right. I've talked to him in Macungie a couple of times, super nice guy.

Me too. I did find a strawberry/rhubarb pie at Long Mountain Grocery in Rustburg one time though. Now I can't even remember if I bought it or not or what it tasted like if I did.

I love sweet potato pie, I can make a good one myself. Last one I made I put some Fireball liquor - I think it's liqueur, but I can't spell liqueur - in it instead of cinnamon. Came out pretty good.

That's just what I was thinking- 🤔! 🤣🤣 🤣

Speaking of Jim Hancock, I saw him in the latest "Double Clutch" magazine.

Thanks Bob.

Just send me your address, I'll put some in the mail tomorrow 🤣

They're pretty good, I rubbed them with some brown sugar first, then I coated them well with the top secret rub that I make myself. It's just garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, etc. I just buy a bottle of each when I catch it on sale for $1 a bottle at the Walmart and mix it all together, nothing fancy or exotic. I always peel the membrane off the ribs first so it penetrates the meat better. I did all that yesterday and left it wrapped in plastic wrap until today. I smoked it in the Pit Barrel Cooker, which has become my favorite smoker. I have cooked 8 racks of ribs at a time in it before, and a whole turkey will fit. This isn't today's picture, but here's some ribs in the smoker. This is at Vicki from Florida's house, I had one sent down there too. And you would think that they would burn on the bottom, down closest to the charcoal, but they do not. I don't know how that works, but they just don't.

Here's some ribs I smoked today, just so I'll have more than one picture. And I know Bob, I stop by FLM where I used to work about every time I go to Appomattox and they'll have trucks that have been sitting not for days, but for weeks because they can't get some part they need for it.

I was watching this TV show called "Music City Trucks" just now, and these guys were at a place called Stovall's Collision and Wrecking in Tennessee looking for a square body Chevy pickup to build. They had a good size fleet of wreckers there that they talked about for a bit. And they showed a B model wrecker very briefly but never mentioned it on the show. I found the episode on YouTube and took a screen shot of it.

well, danged if it ain't!

...now I gotta see if that's on youtube. It's been years since i've seen that movie- it's a good one though!

Thank you, I feel fine, just don't look too good- but I didn't look too good before I fell either!

They probably did! Took a long time to get it to stop bleeding, then there was like a clear liquid coming out. I told Zina from Gladys " I don't know what it is, but I hope it's not something important that I'll need later". Last night and this morning she sprayed some "liquid bandage" stuff on it. Stung like crazy but it sealed everything up like a can of Flex-Seal does on TV.

So here's today's look-

I went back outside- with a flashlight- after I had cleaned up and came to my senses a little bit. I was still going to burn that stupid trash! There was blood all over the ground at the scene of the mishap, one rock about 2 inches across was completely covered. When I took the dogs out the next morning I looked and it was gone except for a couple of drops.

Yeah, it looks worse than it really is. The scary part was "I've fallen and I can't get up". Like the TV commercial most of us probably used to laugh at.
