I finally got more than six to eight hours in. I think I needed more sleep. I simply wasn't able to stay down for it. The other trick is to try to tack sleep to right at 20:00 for as long as I can. Waking will tend itself based on that. I feel rested today. Which makes it a super day to get some things done.
First thing this morning is taking care of the last of the dishes. I didn't care for all of it last time, so a fresh rinse then to dry those. Get a shower in. Then finally pre-wash soak the last bit. While I am doing that I can clean off the grill and get it ready for seasoning it later in the day. While getting the grill plate, I will also measure the bottom shelf to make sure I get the correct sized grill this time, which will be returned when I go to town. While in town I need to get an inline drip filter, this time one with a female connection for the system. Bleh... I have decided against a 'extended' metal screen. Beside not seeing anything like it when in town last time, I think aluminum foil will work just fine at holding coals on the upper plate for immediate high heat applications if wanted, and limiting heat to one side for deeper coals. I also will be reviewing materials to use in the coolers to protect them from the dry ice. Thinner is better, for various reasons. But I don't want to compromise the coolers, either.
After the hardware stuff, I will be looking for a few steaks and hamburger, plus either a butt/shoulder roast or a brisket. Of course I need milk. And I will be buying a couple of pounds of coffee for the trip. That should have me set, save for the final purchase of dry ice, hopefully as I head out of town on my way, with everything else packed. Which means those things have to be packed for easy access. Then again, only one or two chests will get dry ice, the rest will simply get regular ice for drinks and such. And I may not buy some of that ice until I near, or as we are leaving, D.C.'s place, probably while getting gas somewhere. Well, that is the plan.
Once I get home, I am hoping to have enough energy to get the drip feed going. The dam is down to 6%. Yeah, best get on that. Later.
Scanning your post, I hit the word "female", and several neuro-centers in my brain lit up.
ReplyDeleteHad a nice interaction this morning with a very attractive engineer from the local power company at my job site.
Still sparks going off in my psyche...

ReplyDeleteWhat I have never figured out is that it has happened when there is a good connection but both with a sexual and platonic thing. Warm fuzzies, say, versus... well... You know.
ReplyDeleteThis is sounding more like a warm fuzzy, or was there some habanero sauce on the ticket to Fuzzyville? All I know is that is one of the things that makes me happy to be a guy.
Enjoy the extra jolts!
Heh. Well let's just say that, for my part at least, I was experiencing the phenomenon with the name coined by Binkley of Bloom County fame: "carbonated hormones". Blonde, blue eyed, very pretty face of the sort that reminds me of sunshine on a spring day, good shape. etc. (*cough*) Standing comfortably close with lots of eyeball time, etc.
ReplyDeleteHer male coworker seemed to be gently ribbing her about something that I didn't quite catch the gist of, made sure I had her phone number, that I could call her anytime and remind her who I was, etc., reminded her that she had an appointment coming up, and practically dragged her away from me.
Sucks being a borderline aspie, so I can't say for sure what that was about. But it fires the imagination, it does...
