The week is finally over. My motivation is starting to come back. I have a meeting with a head hunter next week. I will either redouble my efforts to find a new job or just quit looking a try to make this one better. For now though, I will concentrate on Meatfest 2007.

I bought my meat last night. 6 racks of ribs, 12 pounds of pork shoulder and 6 pounds of chicken. I will cook the chicken and the ribs in the pit. That will be an interesting experiment and hopefully it will work out this time. I am sure that it will. I rubbed the pork shoulder last night and plan on starting the cook sometime tonight. When the temp hits 200 tomorrow, I will foil it and put it in the meat cooler. I will also do a few fatties for snacking during the preparations. Tonight I will get the smoker ready and do some shopping.
