Moving slow this morning, trying to get motivated. Need to get a shower, food, load the truck, then I'm off to the mtn for some bluegrass.
I have always wanted to build a smoker like that!Forgot to add the picture of the smoker. I took the cheese out before it melted. The jerky probably won't be done until about 8pm tonight. It smells really good outside. I'm using pecan wood.

Congratulations....You have now entered the woman time zone !!....lolThe ladies finally woke up about 9:30am, got up and walked to their respective bedrooms. I hope they are in there getting themselves ready for the day but it is equally as possible that they climbed into their beds and went to sleep again. We have a solid 4-5 hours before we to leave so I won't be concerned for another 15 minutes or so.
Used to when we'd have company spend the night, the wife would everyone up to either Smoke on the Water or Cat Scratch Fever. Never failed once.Woke up at 12:30am to find myself alone in bed but expecting a dental hygienist to be next to me. Got up and went to the living room to find the television on, the movie "Shrek" playing, a woman and her daughter wrapped in blankets sleeping on either end of the sofa, a huge box of Crumbl cookies on the coffee table, and a small pile of little handheld purses, keys, play programs, movies, and receipts laying on the counter. I made sure the door was locked, picked up the remote, pushed the off button on the TV, and went back to bed. I am sure there is a detail course of action for such events, but I defaulted to the simplest operational plan.
They were both still on the sofa when I got up this morning. So instead of my normal Saturday AM coffee and internet, I grabbed some clothes and bathroom items and went swimming. It's really kind of fun to swim in a heated pool when it's only 40 degrees outside. Then I cleaned up in the pool changing room, grabbed my sling bag, walked down to the fancy coffee place for some java and a "banana upside down muffin". The place was full of people on their iPads and laptops but I didn't think to bring mine. Eventually I came back to the apartment only to find them still sleeping. So now I am sitting here on my laptop in the big chair as the two of them sleep a few feet from me as I resist the urge to play revile through the very loud and bass filled smart speaker.

The Princess avoids celebrations but I am going to try to talk her into something once we know when her last day will be....
@Neb i hope the Princess can relax a little and you two have big plans for a celebration!
YAY!! Definite congratulations!!Congrats to Mrs. Neb
Congrats to the Princess. Procter and Gamble cut my access to everything the day before I retired.The Princess avoids celebrations but I am going to try to talk her into something once we know when her last day will be.
The lawyers for her company usually insist on immediate termination of resigning employees due to security risks. She has all of the passwords and privileges for all of the computer systems in the Carnegie Library system and could be a threat if she was disgruntled. But it was her dream job to work in a library and doing so for decades she is actually gruntled.
We will learn more on Tuesday.

A week prior to my last day my boss tried hand me an 1.5 inch thick spec for a new project. I looked at the stack then looked at my calendar then asked " Do you really want to get me involved in a new project?" He walked away.Congrats to the Princess. Procter and Gamble cut my access to everything the day before I retired.
It was kinda funny when my manager called and wanted me to do something. Sorry, access denied.
LOL. I got the different keys so we can differentiate them from standard keys and know what key belongs to whom and also to know what locks they open. Never actually got the fancy keys like that before.Who spends time looking at their keys? (aside from coming home too drunk to find the right one )
