It&#8217;s been years since I did it last, and I really want the mosquitoes to be at a minimum this year. I have those metal screens that clip on the gutters, but debris still gets in there, mainly pine needles and pollen and stuff like that. So I threw on my work gloves and climbed the ladder. I would end up scraping over 1\/2 of real black dirt from the gutters that the leaves have broken down into the past several years. Fine dirt, I should market &#8220;Roger&#8217;s Gutter Dirt&#8221; or something. Afterwards I would flush the gutters with my garden hose to give me that bare metal look inside the gutters. The night before we went food shopping so I picked up a $7 clearance T-Bone steak. Once I got done with the roof, I sparked up some charcoal. While that was catching in my charcoal chimney, I prepared some potatoes. I speared up some red potatoes so I got 6 spears from each of the 4 tots. I spread them on some foil and sprayed them with spray butter. I wrapped up the foil and that&#8217;s what you see on the grill along with the T-Bone, some chicken, and a few hot dogs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_106\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mialkowski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/dsc0014.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-106\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-106\" title=\"Saturday Slaughter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mialkowski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/dsc0014-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Saturday Slaughter\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-106\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Saturday Slaughter<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While the food was cooking, Katherine decided (great idea) we eat outside! The weather was go and the bugs were no. I found a fold-up table and got some camping chairs together along with Lily&#8217;s high chair so she can partake in the festivities. Of course, this whole time, I have the radio playing some rock-n-roll.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div id=\"attachment_108\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mialkowski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/dsc0017.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-108\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-108\" title=\"Lily Can't Wait\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mialkowski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/dsc0017-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Lily Can't Wait\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-108\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lily Can&#39;t Wait<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Finally, the meal was cooked, the meat was done, and the potatoes were melt-in-your-mouth with a buttery texture.
