Day 67 and all is well....most the time anyways, still have my moments tho.
Funny you mention a big old ribeye, just 2 hours earlier I polished off a 20oz bone in ribeye  :oops: cooked over mesquite, when I took this photo I was still in a food coma.

This time of year it stays dusk for quit a while after sunset, depends on if it's cloudy or not.
Most folks hold off till 10:30 or so before they start their fireworks.

It starts getting light around 4 am, lots of daylight this time of year.
But in the winter it don't start to get light till 8 am and then is dark by 4 pm.
Lots of grumpy folk running around here in the winter.  :evil:

This is the latest I could stay up guys. :wink:
These are photos of the sun setting and times Left Coast style.
This one was taken at 10:20



This one was as late as I could stay up 10:37 pm
.

I forgot..... today marks 31 years of marriage to my lovely bride Barb  :D
First time in 31 years I forgot it :oops: ....Barb wished me a happy anniversary today at work around 3:00 pm ...
Needless to say I felt like a chit heel for forgetting.
On my way home from work I stopped and picked up a peace offering...

I be damned !!!....it worked
