It's time for a hard earned hot shower. But I won't be in there too long, I only brought one beer.

five and a half pounds of Prime rib now salted and put away, uncovered, in the fridge until tomorrow afternoon. Man, at nearly $150 for that hunk of meat, I hope I don't fuck things up.

The Phoenix has been chugging along for about 90 minutes, and the interior is around 1200F at the top of the arch, with the sides around 750F. The top, on the outside, is 88F. Hail Phoenix!

Now we're talking.

Getting the Phoenix warmed up for our coming guests. Talking around and about the cob oven will give us something to do rather than staring at a couple of dogs making the sex.

You can count the rings of fire and determine the age of that now re-carbonized wood.

It's altogether possible I have too much wood in the oven right now.

Skol! A hearty Ceasar and a mega fire on a damp, and chilly afternoon are just what the doctor ordered.

It's getting icky outside, my back is aching, and the missus is home. Time to put the no longer raging fire to bed and head indoors.

Brilliant! Done in under 15 minutes.

Today we replaced our ancient Cuisinart convection toaster oven with one of them newfangled air fryer jobbies. I'm Christening it with some beef meatballs. And chickens' wings tomorrow, for Sunday Night Sportsball.

Five slices of leftover store bought bread, getting a bit tired, so I'm making some croutons. Well be having Caesar salad with Friday's chicken Parmigiano.

Homemade bacon & egg McMuffins for the win.

Score! We found the 12 pound boxes of chicken legs, that we use to feed the doggos, was in sale for H.P.! Man, that really brought the costs down for the next few months.

@jessecoynelson That's horrible. Was there any mention of what toppings were on the pizza? I mean, I might roll a guy for some pizza, but I'm not going to shiv him over a vegetarian slice or, God forbid, a gluten free pie.

@jessecoynelson I assume the Tibetans not keen on their Chinese overlords, and all the damn tourists and mountaineers? Derry, on account of them being all soulless ginger fucks? And Jerusalem? All the Jews hating Muslims hating Christians hating Jews hating Christians hating Muslims hating...Oh, man I'm tired thinking about it.

@eriner Sure, but their hats were cool.

After 8 days of sanding, I'm ready for putting on the oil, coach. I went from 36 grit, to 60, then 80, 100, 120 and, finally, 150. The missus vacuumed multiple times and then damp mopped twice. I'm sitting for a few minutes, with the heat pad on, before screwing up the courage to get up there and bend some more.

FML. The sanding job very quickly morphed into a plumbing project after I cut the line to the toilet, with the edger. Good times. And now I'm the proud owner of a new pex crimper. Once repaired, I'll let this floor dry, overnight, and then add a pool noodle around the line for tomorrow, to ensure this doesn't happen again.

@thatguyoverthere Something called hardwax oil. A Nazi product.
