Not much left to do but bbq

[vavavroom]

I just started my new job two weeks ago but now they cut my hours down to 10 hours a week plus I have to be on standby 24/7. So there just isn't much left to do right now. I really like the Firehouse BBQ sauce I used this time. I was also feeding the neighbors. Everybody brought a side dish, a dessert, or booze. Cheers!

As long as you stay 10' away from each other your safe... ...they say so. Cheers!!! and Chow down!!!

OP, If your hours are reduced you probably are eligible for unemployment compensation.

 

[vavavroom]

I still get paid the same, minus OT. I average normally 20 hours OT per week. It's likely I'll get called back in for more hours once we start losing people due to calling in sick. I'm starting to think I should have stayed two more months on my previous assignment.

The secret is small-ish stores.

I have a standing order with ButcherBox. Once a month I get a largish shipment of various cuts of meat and also fish. They even throw in free bags of chicken wings with those orders. The meat quality is very good, no hormones or abx ever, and it's obviously convenient. I have an extra freezer in the garage and won't be running low on meet anytime soon.

The shelves, especially meat, are empty at our local stores

THE THING 1951, 1982, or 2011?
I like the 1982 and 2011 versions.
BTW, the bbq looks delicious!

I watched the 1982 one. While that and the 1951 movie are based on the novel Who Goes There, The Thing is not a remake of The Thing from Another World. The 2011 prequel is okay, but the Carpenter movie is my favorite. Can't beat that schlock! The shape-shifting monster is great, especially the spider head.

Nice grill out results there!!

Is the 1982 version of the movie the one with Kurt Russell? That's the only one I've ever watched, liked it a lot. Best line of the entire movie right here (1:01 on the time scale in the video clip below):

"I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but if you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS EFFING COUCH !!!"

I prefer The Thing movie with James Arness from the fifties.
