barbecued ribs again ...

I couldn't help myself, I was getting the urge for barbecued pork ribs again ... it probably has something to do with the great sunny weather we are currently having, I am getting outside more ... and, I always have an appetite, anyway !

Sybil snoozes on the 'front porch' while the ribs smoke

ribs after 2 hours - 5 more hours to go, then, watch out !

looking towards the Colorado River while monitoring the ribs yesterday, I saw a hot air balloon in the distance ... I used to know a guy that was very big into ballooning, he was on some Federal committee, or something, that investigates mishaps, etc ... evidently, there are very few mishaps with balloons, I think they're quite safe ... I wish I had gotten a ride with him, it looks like a lot of fun, and would make for some great camera shots, too ... maybe someday ...

my Verizon service has been pretty shoddy the last few days, both phone and internet ... I read in the news, where Verizon is trying to fix it up, but I won't hold my breath ... also, there is a new huge solar storm, that may have started screwing with telecommunications in the last couple days ... the solar storm is supposed to last for a week or more, the newspapers said, so, I guess we will just have to wait and see ... when trucking, I remember the solar storms would really mess with CB radios, until the flares would subside ...
