    We don't have enough chipmunks here. Lots of squirrels and rats, though.

    I agree, up to a point. When you have something new, it's nice to try (albeit, in vain) to keep it that way. In whatever time it takes, it'll have scratches, dings, and dents, then it'll have fewer washes.

    I have that conversation with Faye a lot. Loading something in the back of my new truck and she's "But you're going to have scratches in the bed!", uh-huh, and? Wore my new boots into the woods "You're going to get them muddy!", uh-huh, they're boots, that's what they're for. Deepens the mystery I guess.

    I took the clippers to my beard a few weeks ago and I've been thinking that it's time to ask my Wife to take the clippers to the rest of my head.

    Haven't had a haircut in the past ten or so years.

    My last three haircuts were either from a professional barber or one of those quick-cut chains. The previous 15 years were done at home with buzzers. I'm just too lazy to do it myself since the wife's been gone.

    That's funny; I buzz mine because I'm too lazy to go the barber.

    I also buzz my own hair, Peter. Though, not because I am too lazy to go to a barber, but because I desire no other hairstyle.

    I do mine because I have a thing about people around me in close quarters with sharp objects.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    My last barber trip was cut by a young fresh-off-the-boat Italian kid. I damn near had a heart attack when he opened a straight razor and came at my head. Fortunately he knew what he was doing. The last time someone came at me with a sharp object, the guy almost caught a few hollow points. Lol.

    At one time, when I was in the service I went to an old Italian barber that did a razor cut. Took almost an hour but you didnt need to go back near as often.

    I noticed when loading the dishwasher this morning that there were no forks to be washed. Fourteen spoons and four knives (yeah, I know @Patrickbrick) but no forks. I don't remember this happening before.

    That's something that definately needs the low and slow treatment.

    Yeah, I’ll probably do it about 220-225 for a couple hours. I’m going to slice it about 1 1/2” thick first. Since it’s already cooked it won’t need much time. Just long enough to absorb the smoke.

    I'd try to go closer to 200, you don't want the moisture boiling off, at least that's my experience. :/

    I think this is a first for me. I’ve never seen ash this color before. It was almost dead center of the formed ash until I broke it up.
