The day started off with my back aching making me get up early. Brought the computer up and it had no color, black and white. Not being a tech or IT guy, it hours to make right. Hope it doesn't happen again as I'm unsure what I did to fix it. Or how I got to where I could fix it. In the middle of this the ISP crashed and no internet. That caused delays. Windows 10 updated a few days ago and has been flaky Maybe with several restarts I've made things may smooth out. Puffy

Edith and I took the Fred cat out to the car to be seen by a friend of ours. Brat cat got excited about being outside and scratched both of us. Earlier I was cooking and noisy Freddy had to see and smell what I was doing. He jumped up on the countertop and proceeded to walk onto the range, where he got quickly grabbed and tossed onto the floor. Didn't want him to be burned.

dnnr

Supper is finished. Stir fry veggies, tomato soup, chicken broth frozen spinach, canned chicken,flat noodles and seasonings. It's smelling very good.

The UPCA Slow Smoke contest...

Our friend Les (in the blue shirt)

Scottie Piersel defending her crown

Les out at 52 min.

I left after Les went out because I had about 6 hours of driving not counting supper, fuel and rest stops. So I don't know the final results. I'm sure someone does
