Both my sons were out last night and my wife was working so there was no drinking. So I was up early and ready to go. Even though it was below zero I got the smoker all fired up and have 5 racks of ribs smoking.

I had one drink and a slow night as well. Iā€™ll take some ribs though.

You get your strength from eating ribs?

Crippler, we had enough for all of you. And I would share. My oldest did all the cooking and made a good coleslaw along with the ribs.

Thanks Paul. I need work on my tri strength so floor presses should stay in my rotation.
