Well, thankfully I was wrong about the Doc not being able to help me. He told me that he knew I must be really sick because I never come see him when I am sick, which is true. I don't usually stay sick long enough to get in to see him anyway. He gave me a few meds, antibiotic and steroids and a shot in the butt. I felt so much better by last evening when I had been crashing. This morning is even better. I still have several days of meds to complete so I won't do anything to aggravate whatever this is, like doing badly needed yard work and breathing in the tons of pollen and dust. The wife even offered to cut the grass if I showed her how to work the mower. That has never happened, not even once. That is how bad the yard needs attention and she has never been a nag about how it looks and leaves me alone to do my own thing. She is such a blessing to me.
I am itching to get the new smoker/pit fired up with brisket on the grill. I am anxious to repay some kindnesses shown to us from our recent surgeries that were done for us. They are way overdue. But I want to test if first and I will BBQ one and have the kids over first. Yes, this will include the Daughter-in-law that is broken, she doesn't like beef. I may cook her a chicken. I got some heat resistant insulation for around the lid that seemed to allow too much smoke out during the seasoning of the pit. I also got a cover for it. Just need to make a run to the store and get the beef and more charcoal. Yes, I use some commercial charcoal along with my oak wood. I get a more consistent fire that way. The heat is easier to control also. I also bought some of the rub from Cooper's BBQ in Llano we ate at a few weeks ago. Not sure at all about this rub, it is very different but I like their BBQ so I will try this out also. It is saltier than any I have ever eaten and has more black pepper in it and what I think is garlic powder. No 'reddish' color that I am used to using. We will see.
