Lunch hit the spot perfectly Bob. Guess I should eat more bread with that hot food though. Burrrning!
All that teqila reminds me of a mechanic from Ukraine I once knew. I poured him a few tequilas at a local bbq and he disapeared with the bottle instantly, mumbling with a James Bond movie-ish russian accent.

Done now with a new Barb-Q Charbroil cooker to boot. Lets see. Let have Kelly's Heroes and Gran Torino for the movies. Steaks and burgers and brats on the grill with all the fixins.

Nice build Stephen. Will there be lozenges on top and streaky green on the fences?
As for the movies I can't really say if i prefer an old movie with Clint Eastwood or a movie with an old Clint Eastwood, but I like'm both.
By the way, isn't it the man himself singing when the aftertexts runs along?

I heard a rumble a while ago. Could she have tried to sneak-count her shoes and got stuck under a mountain of shoeboxes. We'd better call the avalanche recovery services. Anybody got a well trained hunting dog? If the dog recognize the smell of styrene, and the rest of us (who all smell like Terri in that respect) gets out of Dodge, it would sniff her out in no time.

Rumor has it that 75% of Terri's shoe boxes are actually stashed kits. That qualifies as a closet styrene junkie.

Step away from the dry bread and water! Hey, when the queen finishes can ya punch in some zepplin, when the levy breaks...it reminds me of long ago...can't remember her name, but I remember the songs.
Can I toss in for some movies..."Das Boot" and "flying dueces"...drama and some good old slapstick comedy.

Nice work...are those solar lights or are they 12v?
I like the charbroil grills...the current one is a kenmore but those who know, know she's actually a charbroil with sears a badge. When this one goes{it's almost 3yrs old now} I'll pony up for a weber 6 burner{$}.
Not shooting down your handy work, but with the addition of stub wings on the pergola, handrail and deck...add a cowl and prop in the center of the slats and some redish wash or stain and she'd be a DR1....your son would love it!

I'd love to join you, but duty calls these days. How about a tango in the night when you're back? I'm the guy with the rose between my teeth.

Solar lights. When they fianlly burnout I will just replace them . But the real fun is at night. The rail lights do well enough to give you a foot path. Then you turn on the solar lights inside the umbrella. When its open the whole deack area lights up into a cozy little zone of peace and quiet. Lilacs and honeysuckle blooming and a hearty cup o' coffee. My little corner of Nirvana.
The grill is a four burner with a 5th on the outside for boiling potatoes, corn or cooking beans. More plans for the deck but for now I got home at midnight and take a short unwinding session out there. Then go to the computer for a round on the websites.
I think I may go for some decoration. . . I was thinking on some Symatec lozenge fabric for modern replicas as a covering and for some scalloped valances.

Hi Guys , sorry that I haven't been around much of late . Been very busy at work and some long days . Get home and I'm just beat . Have soent any time in front of the work bench .
Have started some reserch on the P 61 and started my ruff draft for the review though . So some things are slowly getting done . This week end I will be sitting done at the work bench
I'm not that big of a fan either of Fleetwood Mac , they have some good songs that I like .
The concert was great though . They do put on a great show and was worth going to .
The seats we had where not the greatest we sat in level 3 row 53 which gived as a fantastic view of the lights and all the crap which hangs from the ceiling . We did move to better seats ..........................................
Geez Tony , are you hitting on me
So Stephen , whens the BBQ taking place ?

Let me guess, "freebie tickets from work"? We get the same thing for cougars baseball and chicago fire....odd seats and days...front office grabs the good stuff{openers...skybox}.
And who could blame him.......cough.......he said you had a cute nose. He waited all night for you to show up, with a rose in his mouth....those things can hurt ya know.
Yeah, work this week has been hot! 3 days of 100 degree temps in the shop has slowed me down a bit...being on the basement computer now has a nice cooling effect, but nothin is really getting done on the bench as of lately. This weekend will be good, and I took monday off!

Lozenge seat covers...cool. Maybe an "Allied and Axis" set...depends on how many seats you can play with.
I recently went to low voltage for our landing strip{long drive}...I tried the green way, but lack of consistant sunny days, too many trees in the yard and batteries that didn't seem to last brought me to low voltage.
