Just look at that!

I finally got around to ordering a traeger smoker.  Will it work well?  Not in the box.  It... sat there, in the box, for three, four, days.  Longer?  Not much longer.  Unless it was a week or more.  My mind, and time, are not well synced lately.  Not at all. 

In any case, after two false starts, today was the day.  To try.  So... I tried.  Just getting the thing out of the box was a trick, solo.  When I can't pull, or push, I try other methods.  In this case. I turned the box over, careful so as to not dent or ding anything.  Gravity is your friend if you use various control methods.

Once out, assembly was relatively easy.  Being a bit larger, in this case, was quite handy.  It was assembled in about twenty to thirty minutes, solo.  Mom watched, and was there in case I needed help.  I'll tell you, traeger did a fine job of making my task easy.  Done.

Mom wanted to cook on it right now.  No!  It needed to be run on low, then higher, an hour each.  Then cooled.  Then some final bits.  Not today.  Ugh.  Tomorrow.  But... for me... from arrival, to assembly, to readying, this is a record.

But, my days and nights are backwards.  So it's like I stayed up to midnight or one, for you normies, to get this done.  So I am crashing, hard.  Good night.
