Look on the bright side, hopefully they have set a precedent and BLM, Black Panthers etc can now execute the racist pieces of excrement at one of their hill billy, red neck, sister marrying rallies and claim they were only try to help.

Buying a cooked chook at Woolies and 4 sesame seed brioche buns, shared em with my sexy neighbour then sat and hand fed our cats the good white bits, that to me is happiness, and it made me feel good too.

Finding out today that the supermarket chook is otherwise known as a batchelors handbag.

An organic handbag.........
Mainly bought it as a treat for the cats, they are well fed and never eat the same catfood in a row, it's only fair, when I'm laying in bed during the day, just sort of aching, my cat will jump up to check on me, usually lays down too, it deserves to be treated, like a child! |

Finally sitting down at the hairdressers. It’s been much of a year coming - 12th March was the last time. Actually a somewhat emotional event, a lot has changed since then and it’s wonderful to see a familiar face and setting.

If I was Richard Simmons, I’d slap you.
I used that term because it says (in two words) on his QR check-in “hair dresser”. So: |

I'm not one for YT'ing. I do a bit of home recording (guitar, bass, drums and vocals but not too many people get to hear the result / noise ) Pretty happy with the Boss amp though. LP sounds nice through the clean channel with a bit of delay and reverb. I've not looked into it too deep yet but there is an option to connect a laptop via USB and tap into the full collection of BOSS effects pedals online. I don't normal like crossing the boundaries of music and modern tech too much other than actual recording but I am intrigued. |

First time since lockdown lifted my wife I and was able to catch up with all of our daughters, SIL's and grandkids and have a nice lunch at the Hot Temple in Ballarat; this made my day.

Stupidly I decided to sand the topcoat a bit smoother and wiped it down with "Shellite" I don't use wax remover, only 100% hydrocarbon or Shellie. Wiped it down after sanding, took the silver enamel straight off, what did I do?........walked away, got in car, went to Dan Murphy's and bought a six pac of Bundy and coke..... Today's a brand new day, will put a pic of finished product, one good thing though, it may look like metal, but it don't rust |

Eight hours’ unbroken sleep. Only medication 2x500mg paracetamol.
This is probably a record for the last couple of years. I’d forgotten what it was like to not wake up tired. |

Waking up feeling totally at peace with the world, feels like I am walking on clouds and living in a vacuum!

So i was on the phone to my brother today. He has asked for a hand working on his car on friday. So by hand its more a second set of eyes and borrowing my tools. So more or less i spend that time criticising everything he does.
Anyhow, he has a smoker. He's a good cook. Yes smokers take their sweet **** time to cook, but things always end up good. So the plan is ribs, but a home made glaze. So no recipe, just winging it. So what we know is, wrap an onion in alfoil and smoke it and they go super soft and sweet. So the so far plan is to do that. Then slap that in the blender with some tinned tomatos, worstorshire sauce and chilli. Aim being to use the sweetness of the onion as opposed to pre made marinades which typically have a fair amount of sugar in them. But by winging it, being able to add stuff if required, it should be a pretty good feed. |

The one outlying thing on the smoker. So i dont typically eat chicken as it gives me flatulence, my brother doesnt drink beers because he is gluten intollerant and anyhow.
Beer can chicken. I have a meat market near by so a fresh non frozen chook is pretty eazy to get. So rub the outside of the chook in paprika and spices. Get good beer in a can, more booze the better. My choice is bent spoke sprokets, theyre about 8% alcho booze. Drink half the can and shove the can up the dead chooks clacker. Slap that on the smoker and it makes for the best chicken ever. |

My favourite version was not with a beer though, I used a can of Solo. Cant go too big with the chicken when using the weber though because you want the lid to close properly |

And on Weibo, there’s an old Chinese fellow still dining out on the story of how he made up a disgusting recipe on the spot for a Kiwi chap in South Australia, and the bloke accepted it as gospel.

My 1 signature bbq dish. This always goes down well as a side. So, do the snags on the flat plate and leave the sausage grease. Get a tin of baby potatoes but make sure there the cheapest crappiest ones you can get, black and gold are ideal. So that absorbs the greasy flavour goodness. Then its diced bacon and minced garlic. When just about fried, mixed herbs. An absolute killer side for a bbq.
