Consider an Old Country Smokehouse, $600 at Academy, plus shipping. Might be able to get them somewhere locally. It's a vertical that takes up minimal real estate but has lots of cooking area that can burn charcoal or wood. I would have to believe keeping a good supply of wood might be difficult spacewise, although getting wood should be easy. A UDS (ugly drum smoker) might be an option too. Oklahoma Joe makes a pretty nice one with wheels.

But a Weber kettle is a great, great grill. There isn't much you can't do on it. I'd recommend getting a Slow N Sear and/or a Vortex for it. The Vortex makes the most awesome wings.

Kent Rollins is a big fan of this UDS:

He uses lump charcoal for fuel.

We have our bed customized so the entire mattress at the head of the bed is elevated several inches. Hubby and I both have acid reflux issues, so instead of wedges, we have this solution. I still use two or three pillows to raise my upper body.

Thought his was about jeans

Hell, i remember the camel.....

Most smaller communities do not have first-line medical care. Most of the time it's ok, but usually along the lines of meat & potatoes. Basic med/surg, maybe a pedi, sometimes an eye doc or an ortho.

No cardio, neuro, GI, GU, etc.

But to compare the healthcare availability in the U.S. to England, Western Europe or New Zealand, somebody has never driven across West Texas.

Ewwwwwwww

As would I.

Two red letter days in a week!!! 😆

I just read my own post.....

That flocking autocorrect isn't worth a shirt, is it...

The narrow wing is fragile so use a truss to keep it from falling off.

Something to think about while flying.

Gotta start somewhere. We can't stay here forever.

Smoking was sooo cool, and he was good at smoking in a cool way.

Bullshit. Journalists have a sacred obligation to validate what they report.

They do that and they're not going to be able to keep the lights on.

I'm not defending the practice, just pointing out the financial reality. If you're not first, no one's going to read your article, see your ads, and in effect, keep you employed. It'll only change once enough of us demand something else.

That's got to be the auto-correct of the week 🙂

If it was in the bud, maybe it would be possible. At this point you're trying to cut down oak trees with secateurs.

American companies use Chinese manufacturing so that they can sell their stuff cheap and lay off overly-expensive American workers. You can't have them build stuff for you without telling them how to build it. Stopping their graduates from attending universities won't make much difference. In fact, it might make them ask for more money, which might help in the long run.

That's how mine works. It protects my assets in this age of deep pocket theory.

Nah. I'm just disputing the charge, When they get the money taken back they will act.

A most welcome return. Nice to have you back.

It happens sometimes, but not often. Milk and eggs went down.
