And Away We go ...............

 Re schedule - Redo for 6:00 AM today .. this is way better , no time to working yourself into a frenzy  / headache , ect ,ect......   well actual time is 7:45am - but need to be at the Hospital by 6am for the Prep et al...  hoping for a Laparoscopy  - not the Full Surgery - as recovery is shorter..  So after today (and Recovery) we can start Thinking about and Planning.


and before that ,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yesterday's fun - 4:00pm  - Drove truck to pickup BiL and went to to look at Deck rebuild job, while my Whole Chicken was roasting on the Traeger.... thought =  hey it will be less than and hour and half..

When  we arrived  - there was a small like burning brakes,,,, but could not locate the source,,,  when I went back to drop off BiL at his house,, the Right Rear was Smoking HOT !!!  

Ok - Back the truck into his drive way - it's 4:55pm.....  Remove the wheel  - Can't budge the wheel - it wil not turn... Ok try to bleed off some fluid = like maybe the Brake hose collapsed,, - but nope - ok - I call the Advanced auto folks,,, yup  - they have a brake caliper in stock - ... go get it,,, Remove and Replace the Locked up one,,, add more fluid,,, pump and bleed the Brakes.  Return the Old Caliper - wow they got a $50 core charge - must really want that one back !!!   and I'm starting to drive back home at 5:53Pm - So less than ONE hour for the Repair including 2 trips to the Parts store..... Thanks to my BiL for the Help / Tools/ Driveway use,, ect, ect..... 

Meanwhile - wife turned Traeger to shutdown cycle at 5:30 - so 90 minutes cook time- and BTW - it was Crazy Delicious !!!  and what a simple meal. Rinse and dry the whole chicken... rub with Fin & Feather Rub,, I refrigerated  it for 24 hours,,, don't really have to,,, place it on the grill thats set for 450 degree.. and 90 minutes later - WHOOSH !!
