Amazed at the internets ability too make something much more difficult than it should be.

    Several weeks ago...ok it's more like a month now...I sat down dutifully to add a new post only to find out, that all of the commands I had used so successfully the day before, didn't work at all! My technology experts were A). Not at home B). Couldn't explain what to do about it.  C). Hadn't a clue why the idiots at the blog site had changed all the sign in "buttons" ( I'm still looking for the buttons on the screen!?!) Rather than calmly take the computer out to the stock tank and drownd...I mean gently immerse it in the stock water, turn and go back to the house, sans computer...I decided to just walk away. I can hold a grudge, it's taken me a month to try again!
    If insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results, isn't the inverse also true when you do the same things and get different resuts? I know it's enough to make me plead either temporary insanity, or justifiable homicide!
    However after a month that included some interesting blacksmith projects, alot of cowboying for the neighbors, some nice deep snow horseback rides in the Mountains, I'm almost ready to try again, especially since an old and treasured freind told me he could't read my blog without getting hungry... this one's for you.
    Tonite I took a 3-4 pound Elk  hindquarter roast, rolled it in freshly ground pepper, salt and dryed onion chips, soaked it with olive oil, and tossed it on the center of the upper rack of the gas grill at 3:45, I only lit the outside burners and left the burner under the meat unlit, and grilled the roast indirectly til about 4:45. I left it set on the counter to mellow while I steamed some fresh broccoli.The meat turned out very moist and completely cooked pink and hot on the inside. Note to George: save some large hindquarter roasts next year,I always give in to the temptation to cut all that meat into those beautiful one inch steaks.
    Thanks for the encouragement, and wish me luck!
