Oh well. I'm ordering 100 bags of mulch for delivery by this weekend. Looks like the weekend will be arms and upper body days.

I ordered a bag of char coal that got delivered to my local Ace. I wanted to grill last week but had none. You cannot get good stuff around here this time of year.

I haven't had any troubles finding lump, but have had troubles finding the brands I like. Have been settling for what I can find at Home Depot or Lowes.

When I had my hip surgery it took 3.5 months to be weight bearing, 6 months to “run” and 18 to get back to “pre” fitness

I have a dilemma.
For some of the gravel crap I’m doing this spring there will definitely be some off the bike in the mud type of stuff.
I’m totally happy with my Vector 3 pedals but I’m not sure it seems sensible to buy $250 pedal bodies for 5-10 rides that I’ll need it.
I’m thinking I could get $650 ish for the dual sided selling them- I could replace with a power2max crank /pm or just buy some MTB pedals and do these races without power. I guess the last option is a single sided stages. Decisions, decisions

I have a friend who does a lot of smoking/grilling. He recommended a brand called Rockwood. It's pure Missouri maple. That's what I just ordered. He said his local Ace carries it. I had to order mine for store pickup. Arrived within maybe 3 days. I will pick it up this weekend.

So...My tail light hasn't shown up despite Amazon saying it was delivered to my office on Monday. I checked tracking information and confirmed after a call with Amazon that it was delivered to the USPS on Monday. In my experience, that adds a few days to the delivery time despite the USPS saying it was delivered. Amazon refunded my money. I suspect the USPS will deliver it today or tomorrow.
So much for convenience.

Lump. I have some trouble during the pandemic. Whole Foods would sometimes have pretty good stuff, but later last summer it only had briquettes. Sometimes my local Lowes and HD would have nothing or only some brand called Cowboy, which I didn't like in part because the bags contain a fair amount of very large pieces that are difficult to break up. I am a one-man operation. I don't need huge pieces.
I have a friend who does a lot of smoking/grilling. He recommended a brand called Rockwood. It's pure Missouri maple. That's what I just ordered. He said his local Ace carries it. I had to order mine for store pickup. Arrived within maybe 3 days. I will pick it up this weekend.

I've used the Cowboy and not a fan. I've also used the Egg brand, but it's expensive. I've used Royal Oak, Kamado Joe (large chunks), and some others. I'm currently on a bag of Frontier that I picked up at HD a few weeks ago since it was all they had. I like it so far.
Can only use lump in the Egg, and cannot use briquettes or accelerants in it. I light it with a Loof Lighter (LOOFT Lighter I LO1-US (homedepot.com)). If you haven't ever used one of those, you might give it a look. No fluid, paper, or chimney required.
I do use soaked maple, hickory and mesquite chunks for smoking depending on the cook.
