My thoughts released; a mind set free |
| As Mr. Quincy Magoo often said, "Oh, Magoo, you've done it again." Only it wasn't Quincy, it was TJ who did it again. "And what has Mr. Magoo TJ done again?" You ask. "What, you didn't ask? Well, I'm going to tell you anyway." I did my smoking today and was content with just kicking back in here while I waited on the smoker. I also thought about working on my office; I think I've procrastinated on the task long enough. But things didn't work out quite like they were supposed to. My wife informed me that we needed to refill our water bottles. Our water is high in iron, and even with a softener, it isn't ideal for making coffee or drinking, so we get water in three and five-gallon refillable bottles. She suggested that I drive her to work, get the bottles filled, and then bring them home. Not only did this mess up my plans, but she also didn't have to work until five this afternoon instead of the regular time, two o'clock, so my afternoon wasn't going quite as planned; life has a way of messing things up from time to time, and today was one of those times. I had stuff in the smoker, so before leaving, I made sure it was full of pellets. We left early so she could fill the bottles, which we did, then I dropped her off at work. I stopped and filled the fuel tank before coming home since we have to drive to Fergus Falls tomorrow for a medical appointment, and decided that it was a good time to go through the car wash as well; the vehicle was filthy with road grime and salt. So, by the time I got home, it was time to make dinner. Actually, it was a bit past time, but we adjust, right? While dinner was cooking, I brought the pork roast in from the smoker, bagged it, wrapped it in freezer paper, and put it in the fridge. Then I ate, cleaned up my dishes, and the kitchen. By this time, it was sunset and getting dark out, so I had to turn off the smoker and bring the ham and beef inside and get them in the fridge. (Tomorrow I'll slice the beef into thin strips and put them in our convection oven to dry, after we get back home. At least that's the plan. After finishing up with the meat, I had to bring the smoker back inside and put away my stuff. Finally, I had a bit of time to sit and relax. I settled into my recliner and almost instantly dozed off. I only dozed for a minute or two, but somehow during that doze, it became time to go pick my wife up from work. In other words, I didn't get in here until after we got home. I thought I would have time to write in my blog, do some kind of forum post, and finish up my four. I had forgotten, however, that WdC time is an hour later than my time, and since it was after eleven here, it was already tomorrow there. Yes, I did not get my blog post or forum post in today because today here was already tomorrow there. |
