Might stop raining in time. :-)
Send it our way, we can use it!

I'll be sleeping thru the holiday soon's dinner is finished. I have to
work tonight. I need to clean the litter boxes then will go ahead and
deep fry those catfish nuggets I have thawed. Sides are steamed ginger
carrots and some steamed baby spinach with mushrooms sliced in half.

We are having to water the fence lines and raised gardens today. We NEED
rain dammit! Saves me $$$.

The rub sounds good. I know I have some dried mustard somewhere, I need
to play with it more.
