Hi folks. I used to spend a good bit of time on here and met a lot of nice people and really enjoyed it. Then life got a little weird and I got out of the habit of smoking, grilling etc...
For the past year, my wife and I have spent about 95% of our time at her mother's place. She's getting on in years (closing on on 90) and in a short time period, she had several falls, one of which resulted in a broken hip, And then a stroke which hindered her mobility and speech, but was fairly mild. So, in March of last year, we came for a weekend visit and just never left. We own a small business and are able to work remotely, and she obviously can't live on her own. My wife does have a brother nearby, but a comparison to a screen door on a submarine comes to mind.
I've sort of gotten into a rut, using caring for her as an excuse to pretty much not do anything. We're about 4 hours from home, so I don't really know anyone around here besides my wife's family and friends. Plus, my mother-in-law isn't a big fan of BBQ, so it's been off the menu mostly.
Wife and I were talking last night and I mentioned my rut, so she suggested I cancel my self imposed pity party and start bbqing more and posting on here. So we've deemed 2024 the SUMMER OF BBQ!!!
Stay tuned....
