Bacon And Eggs……

I went to the grocery store and got lucky, they had pork belly and it was marked down from $5.99 lb to $3.99 lb.  I grabbed two lumps of it, one for the freezer, and one to cure.

 

I usually cut the slab into a couple of pieces, but this time I wanted to do it whole

Man, that looks good and smells good !!!  Someone at work gave me a package of hickory chips and I put about 5 packets on while smoking.

The night before I was in the grocery store and found a 1/2 price chicken and thought I’d toss that on the smoker as well.  Instead of the normal tiny store brand chicken, this was a “Perdue” chicken and it was almost the size of a small turkey !!!!

I have the slicer  mounted on a board and it makes the slicer 100X better.

Sliced up a heaping pile and took the cast iron outside to have a little fry up.

OOOOOOOH !!!

What to do with the hot bacon grease????

FRY EGGS !!!!

Oh holy Jeebus !!

I haven’t had bacon fried eggs in forever and dang they were great !!!!

 

Rule Five: Sweet, Sweet Summertime, BONUS ………………….

This is a bonus “Rule Five” post because I am confused.

I haven’t had any vacation time yet this year where normally I would have had at least a week or even more time off.  There is an admin at work that does about 3 departments of admin work.  12 weeks ago she went off on maternity leave and HR thought it would be a great thing if I took some of her admin duties………………..

Well, I ain’t too proud so I did the work but it meant that I couldn’t take time off until she came back.

She came back last Tuesday and I told my boss “I’m on vacation starting Friday.”

Wednesday felt like a Friday to me.

Thursday felt like a Friday to me.

When I saw my post Thursday morning for “Bob’s Last Photo”, I thought I screwed up with the dates and replaced it with the Friday “Rule Five” post.

I woke up today (Friday) just realizing what I had done !!!

So enjoy a few more pretty ladies because I was confused !!!!

Another 5K “Run”……..

As usual, “Run” is in quotes to provide the legal disclaimer.

The good news is that the weather was not sweltering hot.  The day began with heavy overcast and eventual rain.  I hate doing anything in the rain but if you run in the rain, you can pee and no one will know…….

It rained slightly as we were queuing up to start but stopped right when we began.  There were unfortunately several speakers before we started, and one was a SJW ahole…  “This land was once OWNED by several native tribes, and we currently OCCUPY it….”  Man, I soooooooooooooooo wanted to yell “STFU !!!”

The course was both pavement and grass.  I like the grass but there were a number of inclines that sucked !

My time:

37:56 with a 12:14 pace (11:43 at first mile)

This time was not as good as I wanted, but considering my training was almost nil for this run, I did better than I hoped.  I made it to the 2 mile mark without having to slow down/walk.

My pre-run breakfast:

I only ate 3 pieces…….

This is the 4th day of almost 0 carbs and I weighed 217 this morning !!!

Don’t know that I’ve been there since 20 years ago !!

I have a list of races to look through for the next one.

Trump Convicted……..

There’s a part of me that just kinda says “Meh”.

This was built into the Democrats plan and it was all but assured.

I reached my peak level of anger/frustration/disappointment when the election was stolen.  Really can’t go much higher.

Most of us fully believe that this will be overturned at every court going forward.

But we also never expected that a Presidential election would be publicly and openly stolen or that there would be an illegal raid on a former President’s private home.

Just maybe if the court does the right thing, we can stave off 3rd world status for a little longer.
