Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 66 Amurrkin with a predicted high of 79 for the day. It’s Spring in Winter! Hopefully this means some rain will come in tomorrow or Sunday. **Soapy** YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! **flytrap** parboilin’ won’t change the flavor a whole lot. I recommend it over storin’ the ribs raw if it’s gonna be upwards to three days before you get to grill 'em. One can do ribs in the oven but they’re just not as good as grilled or smoked ribs. Although, when I smoke ribs, I smoke 'em unwrapped for three hours, wrap 'em up tight in heavy duty foil and let 'em go low and slow in the oven for about a hour and a half. They’re still smokey plus they are fall off the bone tender. I’m done channelin’ the Food Network now. 😃 Time for more caffiene and brekkie for rumbly tummy. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence. At least it’s Firday. Happy Firday Y’all! ---

> [@April\_R](#): > > I love Gatlinburg! And Pigeon Forge, and Dollywood! My mom, brother, and I used to go there every Christmas and rent a cabin for 3-5 days. Great memories Have you ever been to the [Sweet Fanny Adams Theater](http://sweetfannyadams.com/)? When my inlaws were living in Sylva, NC, they took us there a couple of times, and I got yonked up on the stage once. It was a hoot! Yay, **Soapy**!! {{{ **CatDude** }}} - They sure can break your heart, can’t they? Another day of stress analysis on my plate. Guess I’d better get to it - those magnetometers won’t analyze themselves!!! Happy Firday!!! ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > Howdy Y’all! Home from irk, had dindin (grilled poke chops, peas ‘n carrots, wild rice and rolls), and been surfin’ for cabins for rent for a few days around Gatlinburg, TN. Plans are afoot for JDD and Partner along with OYKW and me to run away for a few days in late February. I found one with two bedrooms, two king sized beds, 2 baths, huge livin’ room with gas fireplace, wrap around porch, huge deck, gas grill and a hot tub all for a little over five hundred bucks for three days, four nights. As soon as everybody looks at it on the website and gives their stamp of approval (like that should matter since I approve :D) I shall book said cabin. Don’t rent from Timber Top. GM just had a horrible experience with them. I think they’re in Maggie Valley, though. I have the mehs. I need to start writing again, but I don’t know about what. \*\* {{everyone}}\*\* ---

When my inlaws were living in Sylva, NC, they took us there a couple of times, and I got yonked up on the stage once. It was a hoot! So, of course, their schedule shows no performances for the time we’re lookin’ at. Why, oh why, must my life be so hard! **Spaz** the site I looked at is called [cabinsforyou.com](http://cabinsforyou.com) and has a buttload of cabins for rent. One I really, really liked was already rented but the other I found is just as nice. Now all I need is to get JDD and Partner to say they are head over heels in love with it which they naturally should be since I picked it out. ---

My brother got yanked up on stage at the floor show before the main doors opened for the dinner show. It was hilarious. ---

Afternoon! {{ **those who need one** }} {{ **those who don’t need one but want one anyway** }} Had to get up early this morning to go to the jobcentre- always horribly dull- but it did mean I got down to my allotment when the sun was just coming out over the frosty grass, with all the mists rising, and wee burdies singin’ everywhere. Almost worth getting out of a nice warm bed for 😃 Also spent a bit of time wrasslin’ with the brambles in the back garden- it’s only been neglected about a year, but some 'o them things I reckon I’ll need a chainsaw to get through, they’re scary! I need to get at my raspberries so’s I can move 'em down to my 'lotment, so the jungle must be braved… If I’m not back in a week, send a search party. By the way- **Flytrap** _ground spiders??_ :eek: _Really?_ ---

Happy Firday, made even better cuz I’m leaving irk at 11 to go to lunch and not come back. We’re going to a Brazilian barbeque and I get to eat meat off a sword. I plan to roll out of there. The forecast is for upper 50s and no precipitation which is a record considering I’m in northern Illinois and it’s January. Next week back to our standard freezing balls cold. ---
