Steve and DnJ, thanks for the feedback. It means more than you know.

So I got a new grill/smoker, and have been keeping myself busy on Saturday's trying to 'cook' meats. It is relaxing, and gets me 'away' from stuff.

Today, after mowing grass, weed whacking, etc, etc, I tried smoking pork. W came out and spent the day pulling/cutting weeds in the back yard. When she would get a bunch of weeds/wood, I'd drive it up and throw it in the woods.

Around 6pm, I took a shower and told her I'm going out for a while. I went to the local restaurant and had a few drinks. Why is this important? Because I was thinking/planning on having a 'talk' with her and making one last plea to save our M. Instead I went 'out', which I know shocked her. My voyage didn't last long, but I had a good time
