Up at 4:00 AM. Grits and a egg. Up to my studio four some of Peter's Famous Bean elixir with a Bishop's Blend, bliss . Painted ash clouds on a new canvas, prepared a picture frame for paint. 6:30 grabbed my stick and canteen and lit out for a walk. Found Indian Paintbrush blooming alongside a little branch. 8:00 back and took the truck to town. Library first and then the Post office to mail a return to REI. Back and watered peat pots with summer and winter squash, okra, and eggplant showing their first leaves. Watered flats of basil, lettuce, and arugula. In the house made a tray of grits for next week and cooked a big pot of brown rice. While the food cooled mowed the lower yard.
All this and it's only Noon.
The worst part about becoming accustomed to good coffee ( @peter4jc ) is when you run out of it before the next delivery comes in, and you find out how really bad the coffee you used to like actually tastes. C'mon USPS.

I like grits too. How do you cook your grits? You like 'em regular, creamy, or al dente?
What, exactly, is a grit?
On a motorcycle ride through Nebraska, after hours of riding between fields of corn, I stopped in Chadron at a place that had all day breakfast. Of course, I asked for grits. The waitress stared at me blankly, then asked "what's a grit?" All that corn, and nobody knew what to do with it. I think they just use it to make diesel fuel or something.

I just finished grilling six chicken/bleu cheese burgers. I hope that's what they are because they've been in my fridge 7 days and if that's not the blue cheese I'm tasting I may be in trouble.
Also grilled a bunch of brats for the upcoming week's lunches.
I'm convinced Patrick leaves this stuff behind on purpose because he knows my inner struggles; one the one hand, I'm too lazy to grill all year long, and on the other hand I'm to frugal to throw out food. What to do, what to do?
p.s. I just realized OTOH can't distinguish between 'on the one hand' and 'on the other hand'. Is it blue, or bleu? Is the "bleu cheese" kicking in? I don't know...
Edit: before the grilling adventures I installed my portable air conditioner in my smoking room upstairs. 90's and muggy for most of the week, starting tomorrow. Let's go @IndustMech!
Stopping point for today. Knocked out 4 things on the to do list for Fancy. 1. Installed a gas strut kit on the rear hatch. 2. Swapped flaking chrome grill for a blacked out one. 3. Mounted my Thule roof box. Known to our crew as “The Attic”. 4. Took cargo measurements to start designing our drawer system and sleeping platform.

Could you tow it behind a shopping cart? Bill it as an Urban Adventure Vehicle?

Put some crash bars on my bike.
A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
Yep, stone ground takes some cooking but I like them the best. I like to add cheddar in the last few minutes of cooking.
