Went to Carowinds yesterday. It’s a nice amusement part in Charlotte. It was great! There weren’t hardly any lines because the weather was forcast to rain all day, but it hardly even sprinkled.

Haven’t had snow like this in a while. Its probably snowed 3-4 inches by now. Here’s some pictures:

It’s been good and cold the last couple of weeks, so we decided to climb the mountain behind our house to visit the “ice cave”. It’s not really a cave, just an indentation where some big rocks stick into the mountain. Water drips over the face of it and in the winter it freezes into icicles. I haven’t seen them reach all the way to the ground before:

This year it was my turn to be in charge of the neighborhood picnic. I wanted to do something different for food and decided to make Texas Style Beef Brisket BBQ. I made a small practice brisket the weekend before and then cooked 25 lbs. for the picnic. We had over fifty people attended and I received many generous commnets about how good it was. The receipe is my brother Will’s and is posted on our homeowners association site: www.dellwoodhoa.org.

Well, its been eighteen years, and I’m sure you’re wondering when the day would come. I broke down and bought another truck. I also crossed over to the other side and bought a Chevy. Its a 2004 Silverado with only 64K miles on it. Its a 4.8 V8, auto, crank windows and vinyl floor.
