    Weather has been absolutely perfect here. 10C in morning and 26c days and about 40% humidity.





    Last nights walk around the vineyards at sunset.



    This morning as I walked over to the pond, I was being closely watched by this beautiful Red Tailed hawk. They sit in this tree and wait for unsuspecting ducks to cup their wings to land and they take them out mid flight. Have seen this many times. Quite a site to see.



    Got the new BBQ pit today for my Dad and got it all assembled. The other one was 12 years old and on its last leg. Tomorrow night will be Salmon, Shrimp and Porterhouse steaks with small taters and broccoli and carrots. Gotta break it in ya know.

    Enjoy. As you know, I am not a wine drinker at all but still enjoy the vineyards

    Thanks Snubs.

    That'll be tomorrow night and I will be tossing up a few pictures of course.

    On a bit of a challenging evening, At my moms Chemo session today the docs told me her markers are increasing so the cancer is getting worse. They will increase the Chemo dosage. I called my wife and my wife whipped up her favorite soup with some fried rice when we returned.

    Still we move on.

    That sucks. I am pretty sure I mentioned this already that I lost my uncle and stepfather to cancer in the last 6 years, and currently my mother is in late stages of Alzheimer's. I can empathize with you, man. I have been there. Best wishes.

    You are doing as much as you can do, I'm sure your mum appreciates it.
    Your dad too. I can't remember the last thing any of my children bought for me, it certainly wasn't a very smart looking BBQ.

    Thanks Snubs and Shu.

    You do what you can, keep a level head, remain a realist and make them smile every day.

    I may have missed it earlier in the thread but are/were your parents grape growers or just located in an area where it's prevalent?

    After receiving an "out of the blue" diagnosis of Stage IV cancer myself about a year ago I can empathise with your mum and chemo treatments, although I am hoping for a better end result. It must be a very painful time for you and your father.

    On another note, your new barbecue looks very similar to the one I have in Thailand, but I guess they're kind of generic now. More puzzling is the bar stool beside the barbecue which looks exactly like the ones I bought in Lampang.

    Yes my parents used to own a small vineyard but sold out as it was a lot of work. They scaled down Into a small home in the same area. I can walk out their back door and walk through the vineyards.

    Sorry to hear. Hope your treatment addresses the cancer. My Moms is Pancreatic and really no cure. It's just managing the discomfort and try to slow it down. Not sure that is always a wise choice prolonging it as one's quality of life is drastically impacted with the same end result.

    Yeah those Q series Webers are pretty generic. They even offer multiple color lids now. As for the chair, that's an old poker table chair we use to sit out by the Q.

    Today was building an extension on my parents patio to get there table and chairs there so they could sit and enjoy outside.

    That started I had to plan the dinner. Today is my Bday. Our plan was to come here to share my Bday with my Mom and her Bday on May 5th and then Mothers day May 8th.

    With a new BBQ pit, I tossed up a fat dinner for all





    Bone in New York, Salmon Filet, Small taters and Veggies



    Steaks on and Taters and Veggies cooking along









    All done including a few big shrimp for my Mom.

    Cake later......
