Time goes by too quick at times, cept in the Dentist chair!
Food looks excellent.
For some reason your yard brought to mind the Flintstones and Fred and Barney in the gravel pit ;0 I do like it as well though.
There was awhile where I was in the 160-170 range as I learned how the kettle reacted to vent manipulation. Also had temps in the 260 area for 5-10 min at a time as I got control. I usually am grilling on high heat so vents are wide open.
