Being sick sucks.  I've been fighting a cold all week.  Yuck.  Poor little Otis hasn't had his normal walk and play time which means he gets rambunctious and I don't get much rest.
Cold weather sucks.  It's difficult to do anything outside these days and I've been chomping at the bit to play a little golf.
The cold weather didn't stop me for doing some BBQing over the past weekend though.  On Saturday The Glue went to St. Louis with our daughter so I smoked some beef ribs which I'd only done once a long time ago.  They were good but not where I wanted them, good flavor but a little tough.  On Sunday I did a chunk of bologna to go along with the chicken I grilled.  Both turned out real good.
Something happens to normal people when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle.  Getting ahead of one or two cars isn't worth the risks I see people do almost every day.
Speaking of which, whoever was in the Mercedes behind me wasn't thrilled about me getting in the left lane but I was turning shortly and I saved you a ticket.  Going at least 60 in a 40 isn't real smart with a cop in the right lane.
Packers have made a turn around and are back in the playoff picture, not to mention it's bear week.
