This morning I got up at 6:30 and saw that the brisket was not completely done yet and that it was approaching the proper temperature. At 7:30 Xavier was up and showered and we went outside and moved the roasting pit to the back yard and set it up. We filled it with briquettes and…
Today has been quite crazy as we prep for tomorrow. The morning started with a message from a friend that requested Xavier go help out at the new facility creating ice. Xavier was sleeping and I had meetings in the morning so I could not ask him yet. He of course said yes and went…
Xavier and Mel were making the bed last night and he remembered that when he was a kid, we used to play with his duplo that I would always take the chicken. His characters would have all sorts of crazy super powers and were basically unbeatable. My chicken had 1 power. Instant death if someone…
Yesterday I got the results from my CT scan and we met with the doctor this morning. The concensus is that we are unsure of everything and just know that I have cancer “somewhere”.

This morning we decided to make smoked ribs on the smoker for preparation for tomorrow. I got up early to make sure that I was prepared for things and realized that I should be using briquettes instead of lump charcoal. We did not have any briquettes so I waited and went to the store at…
Captain’s log July 10th, star date 86976.6. I am sitting in a hammock watching my fire burn in the fire pit that I painstakingly started with my first progeny if F1. He cut wood for me but we did not make enough kindling so I had to make some myself. The fire is subpar as…
After 48 hours I am supposed to get my chemo bottle disconnected. The bottle it supposed to be drained in approximately 46 hours but it might drain faster because of different factors. I get the bottle somewhere between 10:30 and 11:30 generally so it should be disconnected around 8:30 to 9:30. I think that it…
