Did I forget the commas?
This morning it was 40 degrees but it warmed up to 70 degrees and sunning. Carol started off her day the usual way – line dancing. Here she is when she returned….not sure but I think she is getting into the Christmas spirit. Hey if she wants to dress like that all time I don’t care. She can dress up like a stewardess or a playboy bunny too.
I got into washing cars today. A large bird pooped on the Jeep while I washing it. I’m just lucky that cows don’t fly right?
Today was start smoking a pork butt. Here is just setting and waiting….
People want to know my rub ingredients…nothing fancy as you can see. Oh you can’t see all the labels….oh…..my bust…..
Then it goes into the smoker for about 16-22 hours or really an internal temp of 195 degrees. This time I’m using Maple smoke and a little extra spicy in the rub. Jim just loves spicy bark.
Next I was fine tuning the bike trailer. I put some auto door edge molding down the top of the metal rails so it couldn't rub/cut the tires of the bike. I also bolted down the spare tire. The piece of wood is bolted down and that’s for the kick stand when I drive it up and before I strap the bike upright. 
The 2 X 12 pine wood board I will use for driving up on to the trailer I also bolted down for traveling. I won’t need it to back off the trailer. I will use the tilt and back off…hopefully.
The trailer axle is rated for 2,000 lbs. But the new 12 inch tires are only rated for a total of 1,500 lbs. It came with 12 inch tires but higher capacity. Still plenty of room since the bike weighs only 750 lbs. Maybe I shouldn’t use the word only. 750 lbs is heavy.
I still haven’t decided if I’m taking the little Bradley smoker. If it screws up on the road it’s going into the trash. I should cook a few more things in it. I haven’t really decided if I like it or not. I thought it would cook as good as the big Bradley but it don’t so far. 
We are getting ready to put up the Christmas lights. In the past we have gone all out but I don’t think so this year. I say that now…..
And it starts……
At 10 PM I had to go and restart the timer on the smoker. The max time on it is 9 hours and 40 minutes. That’s not really cool. It should be at least 12 hours. I also added water to the inside bowl and one last spray of apple juice on the butt. Do you spray your butt?
See ya……….
