I have two pork butts

In the smoker, beer cooling down, and coleslaw in the fridge.

The river is flat and the sun is out.

Kids and grandkids on the way here.

Life is good in my corner of WA, and I wish everyone a great 4th.

The heat and humidity, in Michigan, are oppressive and our chance for rain is diminishing by the minute.

So, of course, I decided to remove and spray paint the bathroom cabinet drawers and doors so that I can have independence from some REALLY outdated, worn and tacky decor.

Turkey burgers and a nice, strong, icy Reykjavik Pony will be my meal. (The Reykjavik Pony is my version of the Moscow Mule - it's made with Icelandic Reyka Vodka.)
