Whoa, it’s been over a month.

Not a lot has gone on.  Work has kept me busy enough where I haven’t even thought about posting.  Actually, that’s a lie.  I thought about posting a lot.  In fact, I wish you could see the slew of half-written posts that have been abandoned for an undetermined amount of time.  Maybe I’ll finish some eventually.

Regardless, summer is in full swing.  We’re in the 90′s temperature-wise, and the compelling urge to cook outside is starting to flutter its wings.  This weekend will be as good as any to kick off the outdoor cooking season.

To celebrate, I’ve spent the past week frantically searching for parts for my makeshift smoker.  After searching every home improvement store in the area, I finally found adequate parts for my own terra cotta smoker.  Pictures forthcoming.  I also picked up a 6 lb brisket last night.  At an estimated 8-10 hour cook time, I will spend tomorrow nursing over my slab of cow while watching movies and firing up the Wii for the first time in weeks.  If this brisket test run is successful, next weekend will be ribs!  Hang on, the drool is starting to flood the keyboard.

Also, now with the imminent demise of Ringo, it looks like everyone is flocking to Flickr.  I actually like Flickr, though it doesn’t have that nice feed that Ringo has.  I wonder if I can write my own feed generator with the Flickr API.  Maybe that’s what I’ll spend Saturday doing.

By the way, you can find me on Flickr under georgechang.
