This was 225 for 10 hours. Wrapped when it was about 175°. Turned up to 250° for another 2 hours til it hit 203/5 internal. Resting in cooler now.
This was a pretty big butt. Use more rub than you think you need.
I like making tacos rather than sandwiches.

The Vista Optimist Club has a car show coming up, so I'm cutting some metal for raffle donations. Not big ticket items, but sometimes people are happy to just win something. I won some sweet Baja Design lights there last year. Every summer when car show season shows up I'm reminded of how my 1950 Willys Truck is still parked on the side of the garage, not getting worked on. Oh well, I've got buggy mods to do this summer.

I was trying to come up with a mechanic's themed charcoal starter; thinking some car guys might like it. But the dang thing is just too heavy to be practical, so probably going to scrap it. Not every product is a home run, haha.

Comes in at 6.5 lbs without charcoal! It's 16 gauge, so just too thick and too big, but that's the metal I had on hand and I was trying to get this donation off the to do list. I was toying with a smaller version, but it seemed like it wasn't going to hold enough charcoal. Then I over did it. Haha
 
Sweating my balls off in Palm Springs. The pool is nice but after while the water isn’t even cold anymore. Did an early dinner and on the way back temp shows 114. Yea I don’t know how people live out here.

my wifes grandad was like 80 and played senior softball in that stuff lol. we went to visit once...once. it was so damn hot we just left the rental running because it took forever to cool it back off lol. 9am he was drinking coffee on the porch. we went to the pool and i got heat exhaustion lol. in the damn pool
 
Been struggling backing trailers into the RV cover ever since we installed it and finally had a Ta-Da moment with how I could solve it. It's difficult to back 3 things in perfectly given it's only 30 feet wide. Hoping this helps me thread the needle. 60 road markers placed every 3 feet from Amazon with a hole drilled for the large nail.

112 inches in the middle lane and 118 on the outers.

I'm stoked on my tweeker $50 idea :).
