Welp........
Got some stuff done on Day Two & took it to work......snarfed up quickly by all the crew.....
I did terrible at the job for the last half of the day & came home beat to a pulp......
Took all day yesterday to recuperate & started fixing stuff early this AM to have a rotating grill up / smoke up all day today......got one tri-tip injected & running very low at 6:30 & the wife wants to go to Denny's for breakfast (does this all the time, the whole bunch over there knows her by name)
I say i need to finish getting the rest of the stuff ready & then maybe I'll go.....that happens, hop in the shower & she goes out the door first while I'm getting the dawgs in & locking the back....
She comes flying back in like there's a nuclear bomb went off in the front yard & after a minute of shaking & stuttering & get her to tell me what's up...the cat got run over & is out by the street....
Somebody (maybe the new neighbors) was nice enough to drag him out of the middle of the street & cover him up, so we spent the next 1-1/2 hrs. finding a place to drop him off.....hardly anybody's open on the 4th.....
Her Dad died last week & now her Lou-Lou....pretty tore up & so am I.....he steered clear of the dawgs the time they have been here, so I became more his buddy as he stayed out in the garage, driveway & carport & was very smart about going near cars or the street....must have just been too old & slow at 13 years......
He's even got a Weber named after him, the one the wife had to get rid of from her apartment before we were married....
Here's the fuzzy guy.....
Here's the Kettle named after him.....
Fired up Lulu for some taters.....
Here's the tri-tip at about 2/3 of the ring of coals burnt, running at 200~220 with a few 250 spikes.....thin parts temp @200+ so it should be pullable in an hour or so....
Two more tri-tip to go, two different ways......
