Okay, okay, I can take a hint. . .I got out the mower and I knocked down the tall grass around the hackberry over to the side of the barbecue area. Haul a few of those lawn chairs over and you'll find the shade is quite comfortable. I'm sorry but I'm going to leave the dogs' wading pool there, it gets too warm when it's in the direct sun. They won't bother you too much when it's this hot out.

I have some Copper River salmon to add to the lineup, and I make some pretty good Country Style ribs (it's the homemade sauce).
