I need to cut more rib stock and cut 4 more pieces to round out the ribs shown (keeping several pieces aside near the steamer for the inevitable broken rib.)

Was quite pleasantly surprised at seeing trashcans, not overflowing piles of trash. Ended up beaching after about three miles of paddling. That rib in Duh!k was just killing … Continue reading Live and learn
