What kind of volunteering do you do? Sounds like it could be an interesting gig. I will be back out working on the walkway today. Hot and humid out there already.

I joined the Shenandoah Valley Battlefield District in Jan. Of 2018. Obviously I’m a Big Civil War Nut . Anyway, most Saturdays on up here, manning the Visitor/Info desk at their Headquarters, right at the Big intersection in town. There is also a fantastic coffee shop called the Stonewall Jackson Cafe. I’ve met lots of interesting folks from all over the US, Canada,& various parts of the world. Amazing how the little crossroads town attracts people. But it’s in the heart of the Valley right off I-81. You have the Shenandoah National Park, New Market Battlefield & lots of other attractions. But mostly it’s meeting folks from all over & talking history, where their from etc. Good Luck on your outside project. Remember to keep your “ fluid levels “ topped off

I enjoy visiting the different Civil War battlefields. I did go to an reenactment at Bull Run several years ago and would love to go see one in Gettysburg.

Good for you. I’ve been to 3 down here in Virginia. So much larger & many more participants ( lots more Calvary & artillery) then in NY. Love talking to the “ non solider” re- enactors to ( medical people, newspaper reporter, undertaker, signal & weathermen. They fill in the jigsaw puzzle of ALL the people from that period in history. By the way the steaks looked Great

Charcoal is the best on my big green egg grill. it has been a busy summer so far so have not had the time smoke any ribs yet. I do about a 5 hour smoke so they are fall off the bone tender.

Glad to see some postings this weekend. Hope everyone had a great 4th.

Another Monday morning is upon us. Anybody got any fun plans for the week? I don't have anything interesting planned this week yet but hopefully something will come up.

Guinness sounds good. Love a good coffee stout too.

It poured here 3 times in the last 3 days so have flash flood warnings. Backyard is a swampy, muddy mess so will take a while to dry out. Hope anyone that needs rains gets some rain. I am willing to share.

When people ask if I had a good weekend and I tell them we had a fire why do they all start to freak out before I can add "...in the firepit"?
