At, currently, 14,020 views, and counting(?), since the 13th, someone has clicked on nearly every post I have.  Though, not every post.  Some were watched twice, or more.  Some were watched four to six times.  But at different times, over time, usually.  So, they must be going back to some of them?  It's got to be a web crawler, of some sort.  Just one with favorites?  Strange.  Well, and there is the usual thirty to fifty a day?  Maybe more, with the Mona Lisa type post.  That... garnered some attention.  More than almost any post I have posted in some time.

I was awake late, seeing... looking... watching.  Patterns did emerge.  I was surprised.  Whoever it was, is, behind it... is looking for at at things.  And responded to my post, as did y.t.  Against it's will, y.t.  But people can do that.  Much as cattle, in a fence.  If they get... startled, frightened, curious, or else, the fence won't hold.  So it is with y.t. and it's attempts to gatekeep.

Sleep was good, if I didn't get to it until... 2:30?  Or so.  Slept quickly!  Crashed so hard I thought I'd end up in the basement.  :p  Dreamed, I think, of a woman.  Go figure.  Though, not from the post.  She has been on my mind for... a while now.  The post was an attempt to... kick her out.  Or... settle accounts?  Flirt?  Who knows what all.

Why do I believe she trusted me more than the voices in her head?  Because they were telling her to kill me.  Of that I have absolutely no doubt.  Remember, I might not see everything, but I feel... everything.  I know what it was she was hearing.  I... don't know how she resisted, the last one.  Unlike the dull boy, I knew what was going on.  I sort of feel sorry for those who don't see, understand.  Must seem like betrayal, when it hits.  If they ever even get it, truly.  Some people live in such fantasies, of their own, that they will never, can't, see the truth.  But, it... isn't hatred, that isn't why she kills.  It's... confusion, unmet hungers, disappointments, voices from the past or even other worldly trying to get her soul, or more of it.

I thawed meat last night.  Enough for the week.  Difficult to keep up on eating, cooking.  But, easier with the griddle outdoors.  No pans to clean.  The only time I usually used the oven/stove is for boiling/steaming veggies, baking potatoes (or whole chicken, though may try to slow cook that on the smoker from now on), and such.  So, fewer pans, mostly just pots.

A big hunk of pork shoulder, to be smoked probably today.  Though that will take a while.  Either eggs and bacon, or a steak, for... soon.  If I can get to it.  Thawing the meat is only have the trick.  Then I have to sort what to eat, how I want to do that.  Cooking the burgers straight up, but steak can be salted and rested for an hour before going out, or not, and then timing.  I try to set the griddle going about forty minutes after salting, as it will finish out the hour in the heating process.  But, if I am not going to bother salting and resting, I can just light it up, if it still takes twenty minutes to get it warm enough, then cooking takes... about twenty four minutes for a thick steak, seven minutes for a normal to thin one.

Pork?  I am hoping to slow cook it right down to shredable meat.  Portioning it out, freezing some or possibly most, for later.  Buns, are great.  Had them at the outing the other night.  But, they really kill my blood sugar readings.  So, I just have to go without.  I do have flours, of a keto sort.  I could try to make something, but that is so much extra work!  And... even then, it is extra carbs.  Ugh, but I'd sure like to have something like a bun.  That makes eating meat so much easier!

Well, anyway.  On with the day.  A steak, I think.  I'll salt it, game while it rests, and get to it.  And, as I am doing that, I may set the grill up, to get that huge pork shoulder going... probably before I even start the steak.  Gives me a chance to keep an eye on it, as it begins.  Good morning... afternoon now actually.  Be well.
