ThongTastic Thursday Alabama, Steve, John and Dixie crew.
It was a pretty nice day yesterday with a high of 60° and partly sunny but today is full bright and warm sun and a high of 65° a little after noon.

Steve, make me hungry and jealous I wasn't there, but what were you smoking?

John, Hope your day is nice and you have some good shop time.

OH, 71 days to spring!

Good afternoon Alabama, John, Rod and Tim,, Another pleasant day here..

Rod, I smoked a butt, some boneless ribs, Kielbasa burnt ends and a couple burgers.. Made a couple veggie pack as well.

John, tried the compressed air on the window switch.. No luck.. I did get to use my new pancake compressor though..

I wonder if you have some broken wires where the wires pass through the door post....I was hoping that was going to be a quite inexpensive fix for you..

When it first came out we kept a pretty low profile, that's when we started doing a lot of shopping on Amazon ..
