Screws In My Coffee

This weekend was a real treat for  +Sylvia Wormley  and  +Lonnie Wormley  .  We spend a fun weekend with our friends in the  Pecan City Pedalers cycling club.  We rented a house and stayed from Friday to Monday.  Below are some of the pictures from the weekend adventure. I may come back and add comments and captions to the photos later, but for now I am just making them public. May 20, 2016 May 21, 2016 May 22, 2016 May 23, 2016 Shopping goodies for the home

I bought this table saw last December while visiting relatives in Austin, TX.  The table did not have the cast iron table extensions, but the price was right.  I made my first ever eBAY purchase a few weeks ago and bought the table extensions.  they came this week and I added tom on the saw today.  Before adding the extensions I wanted to add some lockable wheels so that I can move the heavy saw around. Saw with the new wheels New wheel with the old stand off on the ground. Table saw with both extensions installed.

My wonderful smoker On Saturday I started smoking a brisket at 1:30 PM.  The brisket was not done until Sunday morning at 8 AM.  This brisket was my longest smoke to date at 19 hours.  This brisket was also a test brisket on my new Bubba Grills 250R smoker. I am going to post a few pictures of the smoke. Here is the brisket that I bought from Sam's Club.  It is about 11 pounds and was $4.50 per pound. I was told by Lonnie Smith the owner of Bubba Grills that the best way to prepare the inside of the new smoker was to spare it with PAM.  I took two cans and sprayed the inside of the smoker and the racks. I used my shop vacuum to get debris out of the smoker before applying the PAM Here is my wood pile that has been sitting for two years. One of the nice features of this smoker is the propane starter.  I will never have to scramble for kindling.  When my fire almost went out at 3 AM, all I had to do was light the propane and let it burn for 2 minutes and

I rode this ride for the second time this year.  I rode the 109 mile route.  I had fun hanging out with my friends before and after the ride.  As usual I rode mots of the ride by myself after the first rest stop at mile 20. I was the last 109 miles on the course and I finished about 20 minutes in front of the last 4 104 mile riders. I enjoy this ride because is has lots of hills and one 2 mile grade that is really challenging.  Below is my ride report. I took some video of the ride.  This will give you an idea of what the area looks like.
