Ran the hole gamut of emotions.

Thursday: smoked a bird, kinda halfassed all of the methodology around it, so it ended up being a moshpit of spatchcocking (I was literally pounding the bird with closed fists trying to break the breastplate), dry-brining (still not sure how well that works), injecting with butter, smoking at various temps because temp control is hard north of 300, off-the-cuff rubs....and ended up with this:

a pretty edible bird.

Took it over to some frans' house and we had a nice meal. Some more frans stopped by with their kids, so we're up to 8 total chilrens. Other two husbands ran up to the store, and I stayed behind because no interest in riding in a backseat. Kids playing outside, and one of the wives pokes her head out and comments on the size of the fire. I told her that yes, we had stoked up a pretty good fire a little earlier, because we're men, and we like fire, and that's what we do. She's like "no, seriously, this is the biggest fire I've ever seen in a backyard." I better investigate.

The 8 kids had decided to pile as much wood as they could on the small, practical fire we had built. It was stacked close to 5' high. I ran out and started pulling off anything that wasn't already fully lit, like high stakes Pixie Sticks, and the fire still ended up around 7-8' tall. And it was all of the kids, so we couldn't pick one to be mad at. Kids are so dumb.

Also, this fran had this on his porch:

Friday: drove to Clemson, went to Loose Change around 8:30 or 9 to get a burger. It's 38 degrees and alternating between drizzling and raining. I'm dressed appropriately, being an adult and all. Over half the chicks walking in the door there were in miniskirts and boots and shirts with no shoulders and any other manner of impractical clothing. Looking good is FAR more important than being warm and dry. My goodness, I miss women with that level of poor decision-making, and Jah bless them for it. College girls are so dumb.

Saturday: lots of tailgating. I wore longjohns, and regretted that decision around 3pm when the sun was out and it was almost 60, but it paid off that night. What an annoying game. And what a weird place we're in, where a 21 point win over our rival is so unsatisfying. But still, fuck them, all of them. I LOVE that they're so angry about the last touchdown. Apparently, it proves beyond a doubt that Dabo isn't a Christian, because Jesus would have taken a knee there. Also, Christians aren't allowed to do Heisman poses, I learned on Saturday. Procured some Schlitzes, which I believe is the correct pluralization, from RH at the half. He claimed he didn't have any brown liquor to refill our flask, but I think he was holding out.

Buddy took this pic. The orange bat signal is everything we imagined it would be.

Sunday: Lemme tell you a little about Sunday. It started innocuously with breakfast at Waffle House before hitting the road. Then, the worst day of the year to travel happened. I made it all the way to Newberry without much headache besides 3 miles of cars who don't know how to merge backed up at 385 getting on 26. Drivers are so dumb.

Cruising in heavy traffic in dad's Infinity Q60 (this is relevant due to the ground clearance in said car, which is around 4.9", give or take a few cunthairs. We're doing 60ish because traffic, and I see this "thing" appear to ricochet off the center guardrail a few cars up. It clears the car in front of me, and lands dead center of my lane with no time for me to swerve (and nowhere to swerve to anyway). It looked like a cylindrical chunk of steel pipe that was at least 4-5" in diameter. Keep in mind, this all happened in less than a second, but just like last year when we hit that bigass drive shaft in my friend's Beamer, the car hopped up in the air, and I KNEW what had just happened. The car behind me swerved into the right lane because he'd just been sprayed with oil. Made it to the shoulder. This happened at 12:30pm in Newberry. After calling USAA, tow drivers, relatives in Cola who might be able to give me a lift, hanging out at sketchy gas stations, and more...I walked in my door in GC at 7:30pm.

Also, dad was the first person I called when it happened, was curious to see how mad he'd be. His first question: "Are you ok?" "Yeah, I'm fine, but the car...yeesh." "I don't care about the car, it's a hunk of metal and rubber, that's why I have insurance." "Cool, but who are you and what have you done with my father?"

Anyway...weird weekend. See you chuckleheads in Charlotte.

Thursday had T-giving at our house with all the kids for the first time ever. My oldest son, daughter and I cooked and delicious food was eaten by all.

Friday - packed the baby and wife and I in one car and Two daughters and two sons in the other car and caravanned up to Boone to visit with Wife's family. Had a great lunch in downtown (Cold as F - 28 degrees when we got there at 2) and did some shopping for various warm clothing that kids needed. Went to families house and drank too much crown royal before falling asleep late.

Woke up next AM to ice and fooled around with wife and helped get some manly stuff done around the house. Then loaded up the tailgating supplies in the relative's RV and headed over to tailgate for ASU/Troy game. Son of and I left around 2:30 to drive to Clemson and walked in and sat down in seats right before kickoff (after stopping by tailgate spot in front of Earle Hall to pick up Bourbon/Sprite for traditional pre-game drink) Drink tasted wrong, but chugging at that point so didn't pay attention. At halftime went back to Truck for second drink and realized it was Crown Royal Black and not Bourbon/American Whiskey. I believe that this error is probably what wrecked our defense. I did a little prayer to the Whiskey gods and hoped for the best. Defense in third quarter played better, but I think the whiskey gods then realized I drank two false brown liquor drinks instead of just one, so the 4th quarter did not go well.

Left straight out of the game and was home in Columbia by 2:00.

Woke up Sunday and cleaned house some, did all necessary yard work. Washed daughter's car, put away Halloween and Thanksgiving stuff and got out Christmas stuff. Wife of called from road and said baby was sick and crying the entire trip. Took baby when they arrived and let everyone decompress. Baby would only sleep on my shoulder for rest of night. Watched TV in a rocking chair til bedtime and then handoff to wife who fed her until she drifted off. Woke up at 4 - baby had a high fever. Gave Tylenol and she attached to mama and they were in the same position when I left this morning to take other kids to school. Just got picture and text, baby is back to normal. No fever and no cough.

9/10 due to sick baby making me tired being mostly offset by the five-peat.
