3-24 Grilling, gas or charcoal?

Our gas grill
We had another beautiful sunny day with wind. A rain storm came through a little after 1:00 am with hail, rain and lightening but this morning when Larry got up you couldn't tell that it happened, everything was dry. Another lazy day, I worked on my puzzle and started reading Personal by Lee Child and Larry read another Cork O'Connor book.

Paper Back Swap
We started reading novels by Lee Child many years ago. They are a series with the main character being Jack Reacher. He is an ex-military cop who gets into situations where he has to solve some crime. We finished the series years ago but Lee Child continues to write more and when we happen to notice a new one Larry will order it via Paper Back Swap. If you don't know what Paper Back Swap is I will try to explain it. It's an online book exchange where people buy and sell their books either hardback and paperback. People list their used books on the site and when someone wants the book they request it. The seller mails the book and in payment gets a credit that they can then use to purchase a book. If there is a book you want and you don't have a credit you can buy one. If the book that you want isn't on the site you can put it on a wish list. When the book is available you are notified and you can request the book, you are notified when it's shipped. When you receive the book you go online and say you received it. The site has thousands of books on it. It takes some time to get through the list but the site is easy to use. Larry and Louise have been using this site for years.

When it was time to make dinner I had to make a decision. How should I barbecue our pork chops? I really wanted to cook them on the charcoal grill but the wind was blowing strong all day. I went outside and checked the wind, it wasn't blowing too bad but I decided to use the gas grill. It is easier and you don't have to worry about the weather. The pork chops came out good.

In the evening we didn't have any square dancing so we watched three episodes of Bosch. We had a very relaxing day.
