Reviewing some pics this morning and looking forward to more outdoor cooking on the kettles......

I too am looking forward to spring and warmer weather. We are going to be pushing 50 degrees this week which is very unusual for January in Iowa. It has been a tough winter for us. My wife's father passed away unexpectedly just before Christmas and my father had been in the hospital since early Dec. and came home near the end of Dec. with hospice care. Has been consuming most of our time between the two things. Looking forward to Spring and blooming of new life after all this.

Thanks for the reply! I totally understand the business of those issues. My stepdad went into the hospital in October and has issues that have taken him to rehab, nursing home and now finally at a local VA home. He's 96 and we've had to take care of so many things... Luckily I am one of 5 siblings and we've been quite the team taking care of his needs along with my mother who's also 96 and living independently still in the house she and my dad bought in 1958. That along with being a grand-dad (so much fun) has been very time consuming.

Looking forward to sunshine and bbq aromas again! I still cook on the grills but not as much as I'd like to.

Feel free to share your cooks here..... We used to share cooking here very frequently - was so fun to see what everyone was cooking. Not sure why everyone stopped. There's a WSM area and Charcoal Grilling and BBQ area that could use some content. ; )

Ready for spring as well. It is pretty nice today on SGI. I've grilled a few times in the last 2 weeks, but it's been so cold here lol. I need to get back to taking grilling pics.

Agree, I'd love to see more of your grills and cooks. What's been your daily driver?

Thanks, I'd be happy to! I'll have to remember to do that sometime soon.
