Good 45º morning. Still dark out there. Can't see what is in store. Yesterday it was quite foggy....
Then by afternoon we had high wispy clouds.....
.....and then a nice sunset....
I cleaned kitchen cupboards like a mad woman yesterday. Felt good. Got rid of a lot of stuff! I still don't need to go grocery shopping, except for wine, milk, and lettuce, for a long time! Then Maggs and I took the trash out to the road to the trash can... The turkeys were standing in the backyard watching us...
I also got the corner of the 'shed'port nailed down...
.... and figured out how to pull out the pins holding the thingys (a type of black PVC with holes in it to prevent debris from entering the gutter, and letting the rain fall through) so I can clean them out. Been a while! ... And I figured out the new smoker will need blocks under the back side since I'm not putting on the wheels. I want it stationary on the cement blocks. Yet, another project.
You realize that Halloween is just one week away, don't you? And do you know what I find to be the scariest about Halloween? There will only be 54 more shopping days left until Christmas. (Doncha just love this cat's face!)
This is FUN to watch.... an owl landing on a camera in slow mo...
Thanks Sally.

Dinner was finally here. I cooked an artichoke with lemon juice, infused olive oil, garlic powder, seasoned pepper, and sea salt...
I made a dipping sauce with sweet hot chili and BF mayo.
Then it was time for Mr. Lobster Tail....
Cut the shell down the back and pull out the meat and put it on top of the shell.....
Boil some butter in the micro or a pan, skim off the clarified butter from the solids. Brush the lobster with the clarified butter and sprinkle on paprika.
I was in Heaven! I was so benevolent I even let Harley have a few pieces of the lobster and he got to lick the bowl, butter and all!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.

National Bologna Day
Jerry would get a "horsecock" of bologna from the butcher. Now they are called 'chubs' and he'd put it in the smoker. Sliced it made awesome sandwiches!
This guy grills his.....
