I remember being amazed that I could find satellite images of my house.😂😂😂

I’m really happy with the bark I got on these🤤

The calm before the storm. I’ve got some ribs on the smoker, a full cooler of beer, and a sunny day. Tough to beat!

Feeling fruity. Went with a creamy sour…. It was a good decision!

I prefer the top load style with an agitator. Just bought a Maytag that has been great so far, but it’s only been about 6 months. I had a front load Samsung and the drum constantly came loose and got extremely loud, then broke. Also, the front load ones tend to get water caught in the rubber that stinks unless you leave the door open to let it dry out after every use. That’s a problem I’ve never had with the top load style.

My dad’s chicken wing recipe

-Season the wings with salt,smoked paprika, cayenne, onion powder and garlic powder (or your favorite bbq rub) and let chill in fridge overnight.

-Empty a bottle of Maul’s with onion bits bbq sauce (or your favorite bbq sauce) into a pot, leaving just a bit of the bbq sauce in the bottle. Add a splash of water to the sauce left in the bottle and shake. Dump this watery sauce mixture over the wings that have been in fridge overnight.

-In the pot with your bbq sauce, add dried onion flakes, liquid smoke and El Yucatán hot sauce (or your favorite hot sauce) and simmer on low heat while you grill the wings.

-Take your wings that have been basted in the watery bbq sauce and grill them (both sides) at a super high temperature. You want them to look almost burnt, which the watery sauce helps achieve.(see pic 1). Don’t worry about cooking them through, just pay attention to how charred they get.

-Remove from grill, cut them, add to a crockpot. Dump your bbq sauce that has been simmering into crockpot and mix it all up(pic 2). Cook on low for 2 hours and they’re good to go(pic 3)!

“Those who create incentives toward widespread dishonesty by promoting laws which make honest behavior financially impossible (i.e. rent control) are often among the most indignant at the dishonesty and the least likely to regard themselves as in any way responsible for it.”

I always love to check out conservation world! This is the first time I’ve seen turtles in the fish tank.

Got some classics for dinner! 17th St Barbecue out of Murphysboro, Illinois has always been my favorite, and their pulled pork didn’t disappoint! We also had to get some cullers vinegar fries.

Hanging out in the Coors tent to watch a Johnny Cash tribute band. Still can’t decide what to eat🤔. Word is, Motley Crue had a nice crowd in the grandstand last night. I’ve also heard that this weekend is possibly the best attendance numbers in state fair history! Not a surprise considering how perfect the weather has been.
