It turned out pretty warm to day so went to the beach for a swim and decided on just ham and salad .it's just the two of us but I got fresh cherries that need using so decided on a cherry cobbler. Outback kamado Bar and Grill

First I of all Happy Holidays to all.. and of course I hope you are all cooking for your friends and family and eating great food.. This month in Bali started out rather unusually with a rather large 9,944 ft volcano interrupting about 50-60 miles from my house. This closed the airport and left my wife and son stranded in Bangkok for a week and stopped the flow of almost 30,000 tourists a day from coming and going. While the ash was not very apparent because it was raining multiple times a day, and there was no noticeable smell from the smoke. I suddenly had pretty severe respiratory issues. I had never heard of VOG before but VOG is created when volcanic gases mostly sulphur oxides mostly sulfur dioxide (SO2) react with sunlight, oxygen and moisture. The result includes sulfuric acid and other sulfates that cause lots of problems. Common symptoms are Headaches, watery eyes, sore throat, breathing difficulties / asthma attacks. It caused havoc with my asthma and I needed to retreat to Surabaya to the factory but it seems that I had unknowingly breathed enough sulfuric acid that my cough stayed with me.. NO fun at all to say the least. The next problem is the ash is silica and basically glass.. also dangerous to breath and bad for your eyes.. Best to just leave, I flew to the States mid-month and am hoping the volcano either erupts and blows completely relieving the pressure, or just goes back to sleep before I go back after the new year. Still taking meds to stop my coughing every 12 hours but am feeling much better.. How has your month been?

Loved the "needs repair" snowman. The high temperature on Xmas day here is suppose to be 4F. No new snow though.
